Nature's Rural Retreat

Nature's Rural Retreat is a restored 1932 3-bedroom bungalow located 8 miles south of Eustis, NE. This quiet, rural home with its porch, deck, and xeroscaped yard, including a barn and garden shed, provides its guests with many areas in which to relax and enjoy themselves and nature. The large farm yard has been landscaped with 1932, water conservation, and wildlife in mind. It includes a barn, a granary which has been converted into a gardening shed and a nature art center, and a windmill, which are in the process of being restored. A buffalo grass lawn is being established, taller native grasses and prairie wildflowers have been planted to attract butterflies and birds, and fruit and shade trees and native scrubs have been planted and pruned to provide protection from severe weather and attract wildlife. Bird houses and wildlife feeders have been located in several large, climbing trees and a lilac hedge to allow increased viewing for human guests. Outdoor entertainment areas, as well as, the screened deck, have been developed and include comfortable seating, playing, and cooking areas. All of these adaptations and restorations have been made with hunters, nature lovers, and families in mind.
