This Rustic Nebraska Getaway Puts You Right In The Middle Of Sandhill Crane Country
You’ve got an overwhelming number of choices when it comes to cozy getaways in Nebraska. But there’s only one where you can wake up, walk outside to your private deck, and see majestic sandhill cranes filling the sky during their migration. But even if you don’t visit during the migration season, you’re going to love this gorgeous retreat in nature.

This charming yurt is one of the most unusual accommodations in Nebraska. It may just be the only rental yurt in the entire state. It's known as the Dancing Crane Writing Center & Artist Retreat Yurt, but you don't have to be a writer or artist to enjoy this lovely getaway.
The interior is even more impressive than the exterior. You may be surprised to find that this isn't like a tent in the woods; it's more like a cabin, but round.
This is true glamping. The interior features tons of stylish and comfortable touches that will ensure you have a first-class stay. A private bathroom provides a full-size shower and a composting toilet.
Sleeping up to three people, the Dancing Crane yurt provides the perfect setting for an artist's getaway, a writer's retreat, or even a romantic spot for a weekend away with your sweetheart.
Feel like you're right at home as you enjoy all of the little touches that were carefully laid out by your host. Beautiful linens and stylish furniture make the yurt feel less like glamping and more like staying in a little rural hotel.
One of the things that draws visitors to this out-of-the-way location is its location. It's just one mile away from Audubon Rowe Crane Sanctuary, which is where hundreds of thousands of sandhill cranes gather as they migrate in the spring. You can step right outside of your door and have the most amazing photo opportunities.
