About this property

Crane and Nature Lovers Dream - Perfect for Crane Viewing!

Come relax in the country! The apartment is located inside a newly constructed shed/barn. It has one bedroom, one bathroom (shower only, no bathtub), and a spacious living room and kitchen with all appliances except a dishwasher. We do have a very friendly farm dog on the property, so please take note if this will be an issue for you.

Crane season - perfect location! We typically book very early out for crane season. There is private access to the Platte River which is the perfect setting for bird watching (might be off-limits during hunting season - Fall/Winter - Please contact to check), especially cranes during crane season! The owner will also help you set up on the Platte River for private bird watching during crane season. A private pond is located in the pasture right outside of the barn for fishing and quiet nights relaxing. Our pasture and cornfields are typically filled with cranes during the season. We are conveniently located to the south of Shelton, Nebraska off of Interstate 80. We are within 10-15 minutes of two crane viewing spots - Rowe Santuary and the Crane Trust Nature Center. You will have unlimited access to the Platte River for optimal crane viewing all season long!

Pets are welcome to stay for a $25 fee.

Great place to crane watch from

Comfortable and clean place to stay. We were able to walk out and view the cranes around dawn and it was spectacular. I was somewhat uncomfortable in the bed but the stay was so nice I couldn’t take a full star off of the review.

Great Location for Seeing the Sandhill Cranes

We enjoyed our stay. It was very comfortable. The living room/kitchen is spacious. The bed was a very firm memory foam mattress. The dogs were very friendly when we arrived. The apartment reminded us of a hunting camp. It was decorated with lots of bird & deer trophies. The location was very convenient to the Iain Nicolson Audubon Center at Rowe Sanctuary.

Sandhill Crane Excursion

My wife and I stayed here so we could watch the Sandhill Crane migration. The property is wonderful. It's clean and setup with everything we needed to cook and enjoy our time. The location is absolutely ideal for viewing the migration. The owners are really nice and their farm dogs are very friendly!
