A Nebraska vacation rental means wide, open spaces packed full of vacation fun. This Midwestern state has many opportunities for vacation rental experiences for fans of the natural, the historical, and the just plain recreational!
 
For those who like historic vacation rentals, start out in Columbus, Nebraska and have a pint at Glur’s Tavern – it’s the oldest bar in the West. While you’re in Columbus, stop by the Freedom Memorial – it features metal from the World Trade Center attack on September, 11. Or hit Bellevue, Nebraska, the oldest city in the state. This town began as a fur trading post and is home to Offutt Air Force Base. And Chadron, Nebraska is home to the Museum of the Fur Trade. This museum is the largest of its kind and chronicles the history of this important Nebraska trade.
 
For a more flavorful historic vacation rental, stop by Hastings, Nebraska, the town where Edward E. Perkins invented Kool-Aid! The town celebrates their unique history with Kool-Aid Days on the second weekend of August. This "sweet" town also won Yahoo’s Greenest City in America in 2007. Or, for a more adult beverage, stop by Thunderhead Brewing in Kearney, Nebraska. Thunderhead Brewing won a World Beer Cup for their coffee-flavored espresso stout!
 
Nebraska is no stranger to other awards – Grand Island, Nebraska has been named an All American City on three separate occasions. This town also hosts the Harvest of Harmony Parade every first Saturday in October – during this festival, high school bands from all over the state come and compete. And, starting in 2010, Grand Island will be the new host of the Nebraska State Fair, currently being held in Lincoln, Nebraska.
 
But no worries; there will still be plenty of Lincoln events after the Nebraska State Fair moves to Grand Island – Lincoln is home to over 100 parks in the city limits alone! And Lincoln will still be hosting the Nebraska Cornhusker Games, as they’ve done for over 20 years – in 2008, over 12,000 athletes showed up to compete!
 
Finish off your Nebraska Vacation Rental in Omaha, the capital of the state. This capital city has more than a dozen historic districts and almost 100 sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Add to that three national historic landmarks, the largest community theater in the nation, and Henry Doorley Zoo, widely considered one of the world’s best zoos, and you’ve got the perfect vacation rental for anyone who likes to have a little fun. So, basically, it is great for everybody!
