We loved our family holiday weekend at Willow Valley Ranch! The house was clean and very nice. We really enjoyed the game room and closed each evening with the hot tub and fire pit. We also loved the quiet serene countryside! Tim, our host, was very quick to reply anytime I messaged him with a question. We definitely want a return visit to the ranch!

This was perfect for our daughters 14th birthday weekend! The property was AMAZING. The game room was fantastic. Ping pong, foosball, board games, archery, bocce set, game balls for every sport…the list goes on and on. We used the hot tub every night, and also used the fire pit to make s’mores. And I enjoyed my coffee in the sunroom each morning while watching the birds.
The house was very clean, and everything was provided that we could have possibly needed. (And more!)
The host was incredibly responsive and helpful, which made the process very smooth.
We have rented VRBO’s for several years…for occasions like this, but this was one of our favorites. We would definitely recommend this property!

We had a great time at this cozy ranch. It has so much to do and we didn't want to leave. All the amenities such as the hot tub, outdoor games/activities, fireplace, and play areas were just perfect for our family. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Even though we had chilly weather, we were entertained and loved it. Looking forward to another stay in warmer weather so we can really take advantage of this great property.

A great Thanksgiving/Christmas family rendezvous for us coming from Houston, TX. This allowed us a headquarters on a beautiful fun-filled property to meet with our Nebraska family. This property has so much to offer ...from trails to meander the property to hot tub and separate game room...wow!

Paradise in Tekamah
This property is amazing and so beautiful. It's a little piece of paradise in Tekamah. This was our 2nd stay and the 2nd of many we hope in the future. It has so many things and for kids so many things to do from riding bikes, playing in the games room or going on a scavenger hunt. Can't wait until we can return. Tim the host was wonderful and easy to contact.

Tim's place is the perfect way to unwind and get away from it all. The house is spacious, clean, and well decorated. The hot tub is relaxing, private, and offers a great view. The game room is well-stocked. I'd recommend this place to anyone wanting to slow down and have a relaxing weekend in!

Willow Valley Ranch was the perfect spot for our Chicago and Denver families to meet up, relax, and spend time together! Our favorite features were the game room, the hot tub, the fire pit, and the sunroom. Cousins did a ton of playing in the game room, on the lawn, and around the property. Adults had plenty of space to sit and chat, read, and relax. We hope to return next year!

Perfect place to getaway—little cell reception and no WiFi is a great way to unplug and relax. We enjoyed sitting outside around the fire pit and in the hot tub in the evening. We are already planning our return trip.

A small group of friends got together for a relaxing, quiet, laid back weekend getaway and this house could not have been more perfect for that! It was so accommodating, and had everything we needed. The outside space was amazing! The new game room was a huge bonus and kept us entertained. We will definitely be back again this year!
