Welcome to Kimberly Creek Retreat in Ashland! This peaceful little oasis is halfway between Omaha and Lincoln and just minutes from the Lee G. Simmons Conservation Park and Safari, Mahoney State Park, and many more destinations. You'd never know it, though, thanks to its secluded, serene location.
The locally owned and operated retreat opened to the public in 2019 and has already become a favorite destination for those looking to leave the chaos of the world behind for a while.
Visitors have their choice of several accommodations, including geodesic domes. These igloo-like structures offer a novel way to spend a night in a luxurious setting surrounded by nature.
Inside, you'll find all the comforts of home: heating and air conditioning, private bathrooms (including showers), kitchenettes, and all of the essentials like dishes, linens, and toiletries.
You'll be amazed at just how modern and strikingly beautiful the domes and cabins are inside. This is the King Dome, which includes a spiral staircase up to the loft sleeping area.
The owners say it's like staying in a luxury hotel room in the woods, a description that hits the nail right on the head. You'll feel like you're in the middle of nowhere, without sacrificing comfort and convenience.
In addition to the domes, Kimberly Creek Retreat offers a few tiny glamping cabins. They look like little fairytale structures where you'd almost expect to find a family of happy hobbits.
The accommodations are a bit snugger than a hotel room but more spacious than a tent. Considering that you also don't have to fuss with air mattresses or sleeping bags, you can see why this is a huge upgrade from a tent.
What you won't find inside are TVs or Wi-Fi. The retreat is meant to be a place where you can unplug, relax, and enjoy the intersection of nature and luxury.
While the glamping domes and pods are an absolute delight, you'll also want to get outdoors during your stay to experience the surrounding acreage. It's a heavily wooded property alongside the Pawnee Creek where you can take a walk, reflect, and appreciate your surroundings no matter what time of year you visit.
Find out more about Kimberly Creek Retreat – and maybe even book your own stay – at the property’s website; see pictures and more on its Facebook page.
