Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Council Bluffs I-29 by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This was a quick getaway that turned into a really fun vacation! Kyle and Hailey did a great job chauffeuring us around in the shuttle that is free for a 5-mile radius. Lucky for us it took us to the zoo, the pedestrian bridge, Runza's and the Old Market. The beds were really comfy with plenty of pillows. Great view of the river! Nice pool and hot tub area that also opened up so it was like an indoor/outdoor pool. Free breakfast to start the day, restaurant/bar connected that had great spinach artichoke dip, blt's, fajitas and the best chocolate cake. They had tasty drinks as well! There is a casino, but we didn't get that far. Front desk people were beyond helpful and friendly, even pitch hitting to come pick us up for one of the shuttle runs. Convenient, safe location. If I ever make it back to the area I will definitely stay again!"

Cozy Lakeside Cottage for Families and Fun Seekers. Game room - Large Soaker Tub

10/10 Excellent

"We planned to visit Omaha, however being July, we wanted a lake experience as well. This house was in a beautiful neighborhood and close to the beach area of the lake. We were also only about 10-15 minutes from the zoo, Old Market, etc. We also loved the set up and game room. Perfect for our family of 4. Unfortunately, the beach was closed during our visit, but we still loved the house and location. I would definitely recommend this house and would stay again!"

Dock, Paddle, Relax at The Lake

10/10 Excellent

"This home is very beautiful! I’ve stayed at many different rentals and this place far surpasses them all. It’s decorated in a very nice lake theme and clean and cozy. Excellent lake view from basically every room. Very comfortable beds and bedding. The kitchen has everything you would need with a nice dining table looking out at the lake. There’s even paddle boards that convert into kayaks. We had a lot of fun with those. The host was great at replying back when we had questions. We would love to return here in the future"
