Welcome to the Leshara Lodge! Located less than 30 minutes from Omaha, we offer a quiet getaway from the noise of the city. Our guest house is secluded in the woods and located on body of water literally just out the front door. The Platte River is less than a half mile walk. A fisherman and bird-watchers dream - actually, a dream for anyone who loves nature!

Our guest house was fully remodeled in 2019. At 900 sqft, it's the perfect size for couples or a family with two kids (there is a queen bed and a full sized air mattress available). You'll have access to a private gas grill, and the kitchenette comes supplied with a full sized refrigerator, microwave, toaster, electric griddle (perfect for breakfasts!), glasses, plates and utensils. While we don't supply a full breakfast, coffee and a coffee maker are furnished - there is nothing better out here than having a hot cup outside in the morning.

For extra security, there is a gate you'll have to enter to gain access to the guest house. The guest code will be given to you before you arrive at the property. In addition, there are security camera's around the property. Please note, there are no camera's inside the guest house itself.

We love the outdoors and want to share it with you! With your stay you'll have full access to fishing (in three different bodies of water - the warm water slough located right outside the guest house; in the Platter River, which is a quick 10 minute walk; or in a pond located right next to the river), canoeing, walking in nature, and the Platte River (for lounging on a sandbar OR casting a line!). Our guest house is located on 50+ acres, so there is plenty of room to roam!

Enjoy wildlife?? Here are just *some* of our regular visitors: deer, turkey, mink, fox, Canadian Geese (we have 22 locals who live in the water off the guest house), Baltimore Orioles, hummingbirds, and many other variety of birds.

Be sure to bring your fishing poles and gear! Expect to catch catfish, bass, carp, crappie, or the occasional walleye. Northern Pike make rare appearances! Bow-fishing is another popular activity out here.

All fish you catch can be kept and cleaned, with the exception of those caught at the pond; which is catch and release only.

*Please note, it is also recommended you bring life jackets if you plan to get in the Platte River*

Our home is the only other house on the immediate property. While we are generally available to our guests, we know privacy is key and will 100% grant you that - unless, of course, you have questions or want any guidance to the property; then we'll be happy to help!
