This Nebraska Airbnb Has the Most Underrated Fishing Spot

Not all anglers want to take the rustic route with their lakeside vacation. So, anyone looking to hit the water in Nebraska in style should look no further than Crappie Cove, which is anything but. Sorry, no fishing story would ever be complete without a Dad joke. But truly, this home in Bellevue, Nebraska, is a lakefront paradise. Perfect for a guys' group fishing expedition or a family vacation on the water, this spot has it all.

Nestled along a private lake, you'll have all the quiet solemnity an angler could want without leaving the comforts of your home away from home. Instead of being surrounded by other boats and lines, you're more likely to spot a gaggle of geese or a flock of ducks. Then, in a matter of minutes, you're back to the luxurious sprawl of this three-bedroom home. There could be no better spot to watch the sunset than the home's enormous patio.

This home is readily prepared for guests—from the tall to the small—to enjoy the great outdoors. It even comes equipped with an entire Jeep fleet for the kiddos. Sorry, grown-ups, there's no use fighting over the hot pink one. They're for the kids. All we can do is watch the kids zooming and wishing those little cars existed when we were youngsters.

The young at heart need not worry, though, since the house's second living room is an arcade. It's a proper old-school style arcade, too, with huge, colorful cabinets rather than newfangled video game consoles. Challenge your family to a foosball tournament or beat everyone with those secret skeeball moves! Even better, get back to the basics with Ms. Pac-Man. What could be better after a long day on the lake than kicking back in an arcade without having to claim dibs with a machine token?

After dominating everyone in the arcade, swing into town for some good old-fashioned barbecue. About 15 minutes down the road from Crappie Cove is a delectable log cabin barbeque spot! After eating here, you'll understand why this restaurant is considered one of the best underappreciated attractions in Nebraska. Then you can head back to your Airbnb oasis, stoke up the fire pit, and end the day with s'mores as the quiet of the evening winds down, bringing the excitement of the day to a close.

Bedtime is a breeze at Crappie Cove, making it ideal as a family Airbnb destination. Although there are three bedrooms, the property can accommodate up to eight guests. One bedroom has a queen bed; another has a queen bed, as well as a single bed; and the third has a crib, a single bed, and a king-sized bed. There's a little spot of paradise for everyone here.

Before you put Bellevue in the rearview, though, you should save time to make a stop to explore Old Town Bellevue. It's the oldest town in Nebraska, as well as the oldest west of the Missouri River. Be sure to check it out and book your Crappie Cove stay!
