Be Well Bunkhouse

The Be Well Bunkhouse offers peace & quiet while allowing guests to enjoy the sights, sounds & splendors of the surrounding working horse ranch. This cozy bunkhouse is newly renovated & welcomes guests with its sweet rustic charm & abundance of homey touches. The home can accommodate 10 guests with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths & a sleeper sofa. With ample light, a homelike living & dining area & a tranquil deck you and your guests will find comfort & connection during your stay!
The space
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 FB 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.
Guest access
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!
Other things to note
The bunkhouse is accessed via a gravel road on the south side of the property which is accessed through an automatic gate with a code.

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 water 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.

Great house near a great park
The house was perfect for our family stay while we attended a wedding. Beds were comfy and we didn’t lack for anything while we were there. It was so fun seeing all the horses and other livestock. We would definitely stay here again.

I really liked the location of this rental. Behind a locked gate (we had the code) which gave us a peace of mind knowing other than the property owners on one else had access to the bunkhouse. Clean, safe and secure which places the bunkhouse in the top tier of rentals.

Quiet, peaceful place.
We stayed here so we could watch the cranes at Rowe Sanctuary. We had early mornings and late evenings, but the Bunkhouse was always quiet so we could catch up on our sleep. The beds were comfortable and all the amenities made our stay easy and convenient.

Perfect spot for Sandhill Crane migration
This VRBO was the perfect place for a group of 5. Very comfortable. The property is great space for walking and fun to be on a working horse ranch. Very well located for all our crane viewing trips.

A space for all
We were a family of six with 2 dogs visiting during a family crisis. The bunk house gave a space for all of our family to have their own space yet be together during the holidays. The peaceful environment was just what we needed with the added perk of being just a few minutes away from the rest of our family. Thank you!

family weekend
We enjoyed our stay at the Be Well Bunkhouse. Lots of space for us to spread out, well stocked kitchen, great outdoor fenced in area for our puppy, and fun areas to go for walks and explore (to wear out the puppy.) We also like the layout of the house with a bedroom on one side, and 2 bedrooms on the other side.
