Getting away for a cabin vacation is where family memories are made, after all. If you’re not really into all of the work involved with camping, don’t like the idea of sharing walls with neighbors in a hotel, and aren’t lucky enough to own an RV, renting a cabin is just right. In fact, even if you love camping and hotels and own an RV, these are some of the best cabins in Nebraska so you may find yourself choosing them for your next adventure anyway.
Affordable Cabins in Nebraska
Nebraska is such a beautiful open landscape of rustic charm, the prairies of the Great Plains, and farmland. Our first two vacation rentals are right in the heart of Nebraska's lush farmland. And they offer some of the most peaceful and beautiful stays in the state.
When my kids were younger, we used to go camping once a year at the same state park campground - mainly because they had cabins with air conditioning and beds, and that’s pretty much all the “roughing it” I like to do. But had I known about Kimberly Creek Retreat in Ashland, which offers family-friendly glamping in Nebraska, it would have profoundly changed our annual camping plans.

This place looks luxurious. From the glamping cabins to the modern camping domes, this place has “Nebraska glamping” written all over it.
We’re talking air conditioning and heating, private showers, coffee pot and dishes, and a private propane fire pit – all set in a beautiful nature sanctuary.
The frazzled mom that still lives in me (even though our family camping with small kids days are over) looks at Kimberly Creek Retreat and weeps with joy. “This!” she exclaims. “This is what camping is supposed to be like!”
And I agree with her, wholeheartedly.
Surprisingly, this lovely location isn’t too far from the most populated areas in the state.
Located halfway between the metropolitan areas of Omaha and Lincoln, exploring nature has never been easier and swankier.
The setup at Kimberly Creek Lodge is such that you will enjoy yourself any time - whether day or night.

The proprietors have done an excellent job of making it look opulent all hours of the day.
But let’s talk about the food, because what is glamping without some fancy cuisine delivered to your cabin?
Whether you want a charcuterie board with wine or foil packet meals ready for cooking inside or on the grill, you can have it delivered by pre-ordering. There’s even a Deluxe S’Mores package that looks as decadent as it does delightful.
There are plenty of trails and nature scenes to explore.
And for the people who aren’t there for the glamping, but instead are there because they really love nature, they’re in the right place, too.
This serene view is merely a glimpse at how lovely this space is.
Trees galore and lots of fresh air await glampers at this site. There is something for everyone here.
At Kimberly Creek Retreat, the indoor spaces are just as peace-inducing as the outdoor spaces.
If someone were twisting my arm to go camping again, I’d be heading to Kimberly Creek Retreat without hesitation for some real Nebraska glamping.
And if you don’t think that “Nebraska” and “Glamping” go together, you’ve never talked to a frazzled mom who just wants to enjoy some luxury while she’s “roughing it” with her family. Ladies, order the s’mores and kick your feet up because we’re going glamping! For reservations and other information, visit Kimberly Creek Retreat on the web. Don't forget to pack all your hiking essentials when you go - you'll want to hit the trails during your stay!
