The property is completely fenced off with exception of the driveway. *This tiny home is located on the same property as the main little brick house but only accessible via the alley. Please do not disturb guests at the main house address that is 6227 Parker St. Other things to note Although the unit has a bath tub, the water heater is a limited size and not designed to fill the tub with hot water. This water heater will only support quick showers. I recommend spacing out quick showers for multiple guests. To add, the fixtures on the tub are just for design. They do not operate. The fixtures for the shower head bucket are located directly above the bath fixtures located on the wall. They can sometimes be hidden by shower curtain. This is a low flow system that pours out of a bucket. It’s a relaxing old fashioned way of showering. Please do not have expectations of a high pressure shower head you may be accustomed.

Aaron and Megan have a great spot in a really nice suburban neighborhood. The spot where I parked had plenty of privacy and the common area was amazing. I was able to shower, do laundry, and have a nice warm, quiet place to sit and eat. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone

Staff was friendly. They drive you to your campsite so you don’t get lost. Pretty spot. Real easy to get to, but you can hear the traffic from the highway. So pros near the highway-con you can hear the traffic 😜 I would go back.

Nice comfortable spot for our trip across the country! It was great having the indoor space to get a good shower and do a little work before getting back on the road. Had a little trouble with the direction from hipcamp but when we used the actual address, we got there just fine. Arrived in the dark and it was easy enough for our small rig to pull in and turn around to back up, but a bigger rig should just back in from the road.

We were a same day registration and were only there for an overnight, but we had a nice experience at Aaron and Megan’s property. Aaron met us there and gave us the information about the common areas, even though we did not use them, it was very nice to have available. The RV spot is on asphalt and flat which is nice. It is a back-in but there is plenty of room. It rained the majority of the time so we did not explore much other than to take the dogs for a walk in the neighborhood. The area is quiet and we had a peaceful night’s rest. I would recommend staying here if you are looking for something in the area.

We only spent one night as a stopover on our way to Colorado. We got their after the store hours but after a text someone was there quickly to personally escort us to our spot and make sure we knew where everything was and all was good. Very personable. The grounds were very clean and well maintained. We got there too late to check out the mini-golf, but it looked cute. Good free internet service. We would make a point of staying here again if we were in the area.

If you are passing through Nebraska and need a comfortable and safe place to camp at a very fair price, please look no further than Aaron and Megan's little oasis on their grand property. Aaron and Megan's sit was so wonderful on our roadtrip east (California to Michigan) that we decided to stay on their beautiful property again on the drive back! In addition to the well-kept yard where we pitched out tent, we had a comfortable interior space where we could keep items refrigerated overnight, heat food and relax in an air-conditioned space before heading out into the humidity we were less accustomed to. Not to mention, the clean bathroom and bath/shower where we were able to wash the road off of us. Beyond this, Aaron designed a pathway through a wooded area on his property where my sweetheart and I wandered and enjoyed the lightning bugs once the sun went down. I wish I drove across the country more often just so I can stay here. Lincoln is wonderful too, by the way. We'd never been and we loved it.

Such a beautiful spot! The acreage had a walking path to connect you to gardens and new trees as well as old-growth Cottonwood, Elm and Ash trees. As I wandered though I even flushed up a covey of bobwhites! The bath house and kitchenette are fresh and spotless. ...just a few feet away from camping. I hope to come back.
