The home was beautiful and I loved the decor. My grandchildren had so much fun looking for the little hidden treasures in the house. The parking area was so convenient. We felt right at home. Being able to have family meals without the hassle of going out is just so appreciated.

Beautiful, well maintained home. Everything we needed was already there. Parking was easy and convenient. There is road noise (mostly people revving their engines down dodge st), but overall we would recommend the location. Thank you, Wendy and Tiger!

Family wedding landed us in Omaha with children and adults alike. House is roomy, kitchen is well equipped and location is terrific! Books and puzzles abound for “the littles” and we all enjoyed watching the cousins play. A great spit for families!

Another great stay!

This is our 2nd time staying in this beautiful home, and it was just as fabulous as the 1st one! Tiger and Wendy are top notch hosts, providing all the necessities and then some, and always a local treat of fresh bread. The house is full of character and there's so much to appreciate that you're always noticing something new!

We thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas trip to Omaha at Tiger’s and Wendy’s home. The restoration is simply amazing and my family had lots of fun just looking around and enjoying the beautiful house. Located right in Blackstone historic district with lots of restaurants and bars within easy walking distance. Tiger and Wendy are the perfect hosts. We will definitely stay here again!
