Peaceful Cabin on Water plus Platte River Access
About this bed and breakfast
Situated in Iowa, this lovely bed and breakfast for $125 per night is a great option for your next break. Welcome to the Leshara Lodge! Located less than 30 minutes from Omaha, we offer a quiet getaway from the noise of the city. Our guest house is secluded in the woods and located on body of water literally just out the front door. The Platte River is less than a half mile walk. A fisherman and bird-watchers dream - actually, a dream for anyone who loves nature! Our guest house was fully remodeled in 2019. At 900 sqft, it's the perfect size for couples or a family with two kids (there is a queen bed and a full sized air mattress available). You'll have access to a private gas grill, and the kitchenette comes supplied with a full sized refrigerator, microwave, toaster, electric griddle (perfect for breakfasts!), glasses, plates and utensils. While we don't supply a full breakfast, coffee and a coffee maker are furnished - there is nothing better out here than having a hot cup outside in the morning. For extra security, there is a gate you'll have to enter to gain access to the guest house. The guest code will be given to you before you arrive at the property. In addition, there are security camera's around the property. Please note, there are no camera's inside the guest house itself. We love the outdoors and want to share it with you! With your stay you'll have full access to fishing (in three different bodies of water - the warm water slough located right outside the guest house; in the Platter River, which is a quick 10 minute walk; or in a pond located right next to the river), canoeing, walking in nature, and the Platte River (for lounging on a sandbar OR casting a line!). Our guest house is located on 50+ acres, so there is plenty of room to roam! Enjoy wildlife?? Here are just *some* of our regular visitors: deer, turkey, mink, fox, Canadian Geese (we have 22 locals who live in the water off the guest house), Baltimore Orioles, hummingbirds, and many other variety of birds. Be sure to bring your fishing poles and gear! Expect to catch catfish, bass, carp, crappie, or the occasional walleye. Northern Pike make rare appearances! Bow-fishing is another popular activity out here. All fish you catch can be kept and cleaned, with the exception of those caught at the pond; which is catch and release only. *Please note, it is also recommended you bring life jackets if you plan to get in the Platte River* Our home is the only other house on the immediate property. While we are generally available to our guests, we know privacy is key and will 100% grant you that - unless, of course, you have questions or want any guidance to the property; then we'll be happy to help!

Our mini vaca was perfect! My son caught a 6 lb and 10 lb catfish so it made his weekend. Nice place and hosts! They let us pick their homegrown tomatoes which were delicious. Very relaxing and beautiful place.

My husband and I stayed for 2 nights and it was perfect for relaxing in the morning and evening. We had a small gathering one afternoon including children, grandchildren and brother/sister in law. Our daughter who is in a wheelchair was very comfortable here and was able to get close enough to the water to throw in a fishing line. The guest house was very accommodating to all. The caring of the owners was evident in all the extras for our comfort and enjoyment!

A friend and I came back for our 50th High School reunion and usually stay in a hotel for past reunions. We decided to try a VRBO instead. Best decision we could have made. It was clean, will ecquipped, great beds and a beautiful setting to enjoy nature. The hosts were lovely,g racious people. We stayed 5 nights and would haveliked to stay much longer.

Yup, two Texans pulled up to Leshara Lodge...and were speechless. And that sure is saying something for Texans! Words and photos don't do justice to this place; it was an unforgettable family gathering. Mother's Day week - Mom's 90-plus and declared, "If I lived here I wouldn't get nothing done." Why? We passed the time - never bored - watching Mother Nature and enjoying peace and quiet and family. Warning: If you want fine dining and party places within a few blocks, this one's not for you. If you want an unforgettable stay in very rural southeast Nebraska, you can't beat it. Thanks to Jenn and Dave, Bob and Dottie for helping our stay extra special.

Such a beautiful and relaxing getaway spot! Perfect for a small group. Filled with lots of kitchen appliances, a big grill + firepit outside. Because we had some events in the area to attend to, we did not get to do any fishing, nature walk, or canoeing :( But we will definitely be back to do so! Our favorite part was waking up and having our breakfast and coffee outside by the pond. Such a beautiful view!

We found this cabin to be the perfect spot for a weekend getaway from the hustle and bustle. Spacious, comfortable, private and clean. We appreciated Jenn's hospitality and attentiveness to our needs. Of the many vacation properties that we have stayed, we would rate this one as one of the best!

We stayed here for the weekend and had a fantastic time! We are from Nebraska and didn’t know a place like this existed here. Our son fished the entire time and caught lots of fish—bass, bluegill, carp, and catfish. The hosts couldn’t be more hospitable. We recommend this place to anyone wanting a quiet getaway. Nature mixed with the comforts of home like a nice TV.

Perfect location and clean!!
This place is amazing! Waterfront cabin couldn’t be better! Sat by the water and drank coffee and wine. Saw lots of wildlife and also enjoyed fishing and biking! Hosts were awesome, friendly and quick to respond but also gave us privacy. This is a perfect place for quiet relaxation. The property was very clean and had everything we needed! And the cherry on top of a perfect trip were the gorgeous, huge, dream horses on the property that my daughter got to hug and enjoy! Definitely returning! Bringing a kayak next time as this is the perfect spot for one

Had a great stay.
This was a great place to stay while visiting our kids in Omaha. We spent more time here than at their house. It’s a great place to relax and visit. We went walking and enjoyed the water. It was a comfortable setting with everything we needed.

This was perfect for a quiet weekend get away! The area was so beautiful and the house itself was perfect. Thank you for a great weekend and we plan on being back once we weather is a bit warmer to enjoy the pond

Peaceful and cozy!
A couple friends and I snuck away for a couple nights to walk in the snow, eat our favorite foods, chat the night away, do some yoga and simply escape our normal distractions. This cabin worked great for the three of us. We thoroughly enjoyed the view of the ducks and geese on the water and the tucked away location. Everything was super clean and we had all we needed. Host even thought to provide earplugs for sleeping. I can imagine it would be an excellent spot for summer and fall as well. We did not use the grill or fire pit but they were super conveniently located. Kitchenette had a crockpot, toaster oven, double electric burners, coffee pot, sink and full size fridge. Thanks for hosting our weekend away!!!

Very easy and no hassle.
