Welcome to the French Country Cottage in the Woods near Omaha, NE
Come and enjoy Rainwood Cottage – your personal country retreat outside beautiful Omaha, Nebraska. Nestled on a 90-acre farm, surrounded by six acres of majestic trees, secured by a gated, secure private drive, our updated cottage will definitely give you a place to relax and enjoy your vacation in a calm setting. Our cottage features 4 bedrooms (4 queen and 1 full bed) and 2 bathrooms. The well stocked kitchen, multiple outdoor patios, and electric grill gives you plenty of options to prepare your own meals and enjoy them in a variety of settings. We recently updated this property that originally was a barn. The wonderful aroma of eastern Nebraska red cedar greets you as soon as you open the door and is installed on most of the cottage ceilings. Walking paths run throughout the property and are a wonderful way to start a morning or to wind down at the end of the day.
As mentioned above, today’s Rainwood Cottage was originally a barn. built in the early 1960’s. In 1982 the owner decided to convert the barn into a home with a new great room and a two-car garage. We bought the property in 2022. The vision was to make it a relaxing place where individuals, families and groups can come to decompress, relax and get back to what really matters. My wife was raised on a farm in South Dakota. We often enjoyed going back there on the weekends to completely escape the craziness of city life! Much like the farm in South Dakota, we love all of the trees and vegetation on this property, knowing there is a special connection God created with nature and man.... there is healing in this place! My hope is that this place will be for you, what the South Dakota farm was for me, a place of relaxation and a great place to create memories. In addition to the beauty of the Rainwood Cottage property, the entrance to Cunningham Lake is only a 1/2 mile east. Cunningham Lake includes many more great opportunities to create lifelong memories -- camping, picnicking, bike trails, walking paths, 18-hole disc golf course, kayaking, paddle boarding and fishing, plus concerts and food trucks in the summer. This 390-acre lake also features a 6.2-mile concrete trail that goes all the way around. You don’t want to miss it!
In addition, all the restaurants, shopping, events and activities associated with Nebraska’s largest city of Omaha are only a few minutes away.
We have worked hard to make your Omaha vacation perfect. We look forward to hosting you.
