The bunkhouse allows guest to enjoy the unique blend of country life, while still being within 5 - 10 minutes of Kearney's restaurants, shopping, grocery stores, entertainment, fuel, etc. The ranch is easily accessible from town via paved roads, though note that the roads on the ranch leading to the bunkhouse and the bunkhouse parking lot are gravel. For additional photos, videos and 3D tour please visit the Be Well Bunkhouse (Hidden by Airbnb) page. The ranch is within an 1/8 of a mile to the entrance of Cottonmill Lake State Park allowing guests to enjoy park access within a short walk or very short drive. The park offers hiking, biking, fishing, boating, frisbee golf, playgrounds, BBQ pits, swimming (seasonal), a nature barn (seasonal), wildlife viewing and more! The ranch is within 5 minutes of the University of Nebraska Kearney. The ranch also provides excellent access to Sandhill Crane viewing areas such as Fort Kearny (15 minutes) and Rowe Sanctuary (25 minutes). During the famous spring crane migration cranes also frequently fly directly over the ranch and feed in the neighboring corn fields. The bunkhouse is located on an active working horse ranch allowing guest to enjoy the sights and sounds of a western style ranch amidst a lovely pastoral setting. Guests may observe the horses, but feeding, petting or otherwise interacting with any of the animals in an unsupervised manner is prohibited. Please note that a gate may have to be passed through (opened and closed again) in order to access the bunkhouse as the horses travel loose on property at certain times of the day. We apologize about the inconvenience, but ask you to join us in keeping horses where horses belong! Owners live on property in the main ranch house and are usually available for to assist you during your stay. We are located 1/8 mile from the entrance of Cottonmill Lake State Park which has lovely hiking and biking trails, frisbee golf, water access, boat and kayak rentals, a swimming beach (seasonal), picnic/BBQ areas and more. The University of Nebraska at Kearney is just East of the ranch. We are conveniently located just 5 miles off of I-80 and with all paved road access to the ranch. Central Kearney is less than 10 minutes away by car. Cottonmill Park nearby is the trailhead for the Kearney Hike/Bike Trail which is paved for 13.1 miles all the way to Fort Kearny State Recreation Area. Though guests will enjoy the quietness of a country setting and the beauty of pastoral landscapes, the ranch is still just minutes from town with food, gas, restaurant and shopping amenities within 5 - 10 minutes. The bunkhouse is accessed via a gravel road on the south side of the property. Depending on the movement of horses around the property, a gate on the east end of this road (just south of the owner's home) may be closed at times. *** If this gate is closed when you enter or leave, please re-close it behind your vehicle once you pass through to maintain the furry folks on our property! *** Although we welcome children and infants please note that the home has not been baby-proofed, though we do now provide some baby travel essentials for guests use. As noted elsewhere in this listing, horses do occasionally travel on the road between pastures and children should not be left unattended outside or around the horse pens or canal. There are security cameras throughout the ranch, but please note there are no cameras near the bunkhouse or RV sites to respect the privacy of our guests. Overnight horse boarding is also available for travelers. Contact us for rates and details.
