We have compiled a list of the best 25 weekend trips from Omaha. Great road trip locations with unique vacation rentals, perfect for any time of year!

 

We have some great ideas for a weekend away at unique vacation rentals, all within about a 6 hour drive from our home in Omaha. They may be closer to you, or farther, but we thought they were great options, and have some fun choices of places to stay or fun activities to do near them. These unique rentals can be a better option than hotel rooms

Spirited Travel

Since starting Gastronom, we have been traveling all over the US and abroad. We always call our traveling “Spirited Travel” because we make sure to always make a visit to local breweries, wineries and distilleries! It’s always a great part of our trip, and we have quite a few great ones in Omaha and the surrounding areas!

 

We do judge a cool vacation rental rental on style, decor, location, price and fun, special amenities they may offer. We personally love to be able to cook at least breakfast for ourselves while traveling, but this is completely up to you! Equally, we love a nightcap, or a cocktail before going out to dinner, so those need to be close options, too!

 

Vacation Rental Features

You will enjoy your time away in any of these rental properties. Some more more than a 5 minute drive to town, and some are just a short walk to the next street. But, Jay and I are always more than willing to drive to get where we are going!

 

Some of the fun features we have listed in the vacation homes below are out of this world! Some are fun, some are practical, but all are things you may look for in your perfect place!

  • firepit
  • full kitchen, small kitchen or fully-equipped kitchen (there are many options!)
  • floor-to-ceiling windows for panoramic views, lake views or wildlife viewing
  • modern conveniences like more square feet, air conditioning, private hot tub, pool table, foosball table, smart TV, prime location close to grocery stories or other modern comforts
  • historic touches like wood paneling, stone walls, wood-burning fireplace, covered porch, high ceilings, wraparound porch and more!
  • Location: maybe a quick walk to the movie theater or local restaurants, bars or shops

 

Other things that you may look for are the best things or a unique experience for outdoor enthusiasts like:

  • horseback riding
  • golf course
  • tennis courts
  • a perfect getaway on a working farm or organic farm
  • large deck
  • picnic tables
