Retro ranch straight out of the 1950

This home is very well maintained from the day it was built. It is a charming home with everything you could need provided my a very friendly and helpful property owner. We loved our stay and home to stay again each time we are in Grand Island.

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.

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!

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.
