Walk 2 blks to Fontenelle Forest. The sunroom has a fold down sofa, desk, & original French doors for an additional living/working/chill area. Relax on the back deck & admire the sunset, hang out inside & prepare a meal in the fantastic kitchen, or chill on the leather couch with the 55” smart TV w cable The space Beautiful 1914 bungalow filled with original woodwork and details, with many modern updates. 2 Bedrooms (1 queen bed, 2 twin beds) and 1 full bathroom with deep tub and modern showerhead. It’s about 15 min to CWS, 9 min to the Henry Doorly Zoo! Besides the leather couch and vintage velvet chairs in the living room, there are additional seating options in the sunroom (the fold down sofa can sleep 1 smaller person short term), and with closing original beveled glass & wood French doors for semi-privacy—it’s great for a dedicated office work area at the desk or a playroom for the kids. The dining room has a table that can seat 6 and the butcher block bar has 3 stools. Hang out outside on the relaxing covered front porch or have a sunset drink on the back deck. Fabulous remodeled kitchen with powerful gas stove. Many vintage decorative touches, including seed bags (1957 era) from my grandparent’s farm 🧡 High efficiency HVAC and water heater, new in 2017. With just over 1000 sq ft interior space all on one level (there are several steps to enter/exit property), it's a perfect solo/couples retreat, co-workers lodging, or home base for a family of up to five. The Local Vibe online publication has named this 1 of the 6 coolest Airbnb’s in Omaha! The living room has cable including HBO and a 55” smart TV. You are welcome to stream or connect to any services you have accounts for also. There is not a clothes washer or dryer in the house. There is a laundromat 1 mile away & there is a laundry service in Bellevue that will pick up & drop off your laundry to the house. NO PARTIES, PETS, OR SMOKING/VAPING INSIDE ALLOWED. Guest access You'll have the entire main level, front porch, back deck, and front 1/2 of driveway to yourselves. House is nestled in a semi-secluded neighborhood on a quiet side street, just off a main road. Being two long blocks (~1/4 mile) from the main entrance to Fontenelle Forest & Tree Rush Adventures means there are frequently yard guests such as deer, many bird varieties including turkeys, as well as rabbits, fox, coyote, etc. There's a gravel driveway for off street parking, which can hold 2 vehicles in the front portion. You can use the front yard, but the side/backyard is steeper and rougher terrain, currently with slabs of wood stacked and drying, and not suitable for children or running around. I'm an artist and sometimes use the detached garage, back part of driveway, and basement (separate entrance) for projects/storage, but generally will not be on property while you are there, unless you request me to be, or to maintain the yard, garden (which you are welcome to any food growing in the summer), or outdoor projects, etc. You will be the only guests at the house. Several folks in the neighborhood have chickens or horses, and we don't generally use chemicals in our yard that could harm the bees/pollinators. Other things to note There are train tracks down the hill about 1/2 a mile, with active trains that whistle while going through town. If you are a light sleeper, I'd recommend bringing earplugs, in case they roll by at night. There is one noise machine also. Guests with children are welcomed, but depending on their ages, parents need to be aware of and be ok with the following potential hazards before booking with 0-12 year old guests: There are window blinds WITH CORDS in every room except the kitchen, bathroom, & twin bedroom; the flat panel TVs are not mounted & could be tipped over. Outdoor live continuous recording security video cameras located on front and back exterior of house are on to monitor the property grounds (none inside of course). The exterior has been re-sided in 2023, but some of the trim is still a farmhouse shabby chic look :) Depending on the weather, we may be around to work on the exterior’s "vintage patina" on a nice day. As noted elsewhere, I usually have remnants of some art and/or garden projects in the backyard and use the garage and basement, so those areas are off limits unless there's something interesting to see, in which case I would be happy to give you a guided tour. Longer stays: for stays over 2 weeks, we include a light cleaning of the house & linen change (~every 2 weeks & you are still expected to keep the house tidy and food/spills picked up on a day-to-day basis). We will coordinate a time that works for you to be out of the house for the duration. Feel free to message prior to booking if you have questions or want more details.
