Aksarben stay
We stayed at this property during the Aksarben livestock show. Property was just as described. Nothing fancy but we were only there to sleep and shower. We did have trouble getting in and out of the property with the lock box on the front door. If that process could be streamlined a bit it would be all 5 stars!

We went to Grand Island for the Red Power Roundup. Found this Vrbo for our 3 night stay. It was very clean, lots of room and well stocked. Al was quick to respond to messages. We would recommend this Vrbo in Grand Island.

Not good, Al should not be a VRBO host.
Was not told it was a duplex, we'd be sharing with a neighbor who kept a barking dog. Toilet clogged repeatedly and ultimately stopped flushing. Wifi too weak to even use email. 5 remotes and couldn't figure out the TV, asked the owner and he didn't know, either. Plug-in air fresheners were gaggingly over powering. No written instructions anywhere for anything. No recycling. No kleenex.

Great little place, very comfortable. Fairly good sized for a 2 bedroom house. Reminded me of the house I grew up in. 😃 Easy to get to and shopping near by. Didn't spend a huge amount of time here but enjoyed the time we did.

Perfect for the state fair
We love Al’s house. Plenty of space for our family of 4. We cooked breakfast everyday and had everything we needed. We don’t spend much time there but did take a couple of short walks. The neighborhood is friendly and with well kept yards and gardens.

Family visit
The duplex was clean and gave out family of 4 room to spread out a bit. We have always stayed with family previously, but this time we needed a place of our own. Glad we found this and did not have to stay in a motel. When I walked into the bathroom it was the same tile as my parents house that they just sold. Also Al was an excellent host and provided all needed information. Thank you!

Great Experience !
The house was well maintained, clean, with many extras (laundry detergent, plenty of towels, extra blankets). It is not over furnished making the smaller floor plan feel plenty big for and allowing for plenty of space for an air mattress if needed.

Skip the hotel room and stay here!
Such a great experience with the owners, super accessible to answer any questions we had, great neighborhood too. SKIP THE HOTEL ROOM. We travelled for a family function and it was great being able to invite the grandparents over for breakfast, spread out more than in a hotel room, and be away from the traffic of the main road but still be very close. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you Al & Amber for the great hospitality.
