This is a great place to stay; it is a property in the countryside, near a small town, with a two-bedroom apartment in a converted barn next to a large pond, with the owner's modern farmhouse nearby. The Platte River is a few minutes walk away (unfortunately, so is the highway, but it doesn't interfere with enjoyment of the property). Everything was clean and comfortable and the decor was tasteful, with a nice welcome basket of snacks and honey produced by bees on the property. Although I was there by myself, it would be a great place to take kids, as there are tons of things to do - a pond with kayaks and a rope to swing off of, chickens, goats, etc, as well as a large game room connected to the guest apartment. Don't miss the Pioneer Village museum in Minden, a small nearby town - a fascinating, enormous and idiosyncratic collection of 19th C buildings, carriages, antique cars and lots of other historic artifacts. Red Cloud, the town where noted author Willa Cather grew up, is also a short drive away.
