| Comments: (7/10/03) - "We would like to thank Lorie so much for providing a wonderful place for our 2 Haflingers. We felt very comfortable leaving them overnight at her stable. She was just as nice as could be and was able to offer us either individual stalls or a larger one where our "boys" could stay together. We were delighted that they could stay together and that they had both an indoor stall and a run where they could go out for some fresh air. The facilities were exceptionally clean and well maintained. We were also able to easily clean the trailer for a fresh start in the morning. Would definitely stay there again!". . .(7/19/04) - "This facility was wonderful. I HIGHLY recommend it to everyone if they need a place in Nebraska. Super clean and safe. The owner is a super person. I felt totally at ease leaving my three horses there. I would without a second thought stay there again.". . .(5/14/06) - "Host was very helpful via email when I was planning my trip. She was not present when I showed up, but had everything ready to go, with an invoice on the door. Dropped off my horse and trailer without worry. Didn't see her the next morning either, but all was well and got on the road again without problems. This is the only horse hotel I'm aware of in the area and I would stay there again.". . .(11/10/08) - "HQH Stables was an excellent small facility that took exceptional care of our 4 horses during our recent trip from Colorado to Pennsylvania. I could not have been more pleased. Our hostess was wonderful and knowledgable and we will definitely stay there again. God Bless." | |||||||

| Comments: (7/13/09) - "Overall we we satisfied with the facilities. We chose putting our mules in outdoor pens rather than stalls. They were close to water and our electric site so we could see our animals. The stalls available were metal open front with full dividers between animals. There were showers available onsite. The only negative about this stopover is the multitude of coal trains practically right next to the pens and camping. Earplugs are necessary for sleeping. Our animals didn't like the first train but were for sure use to them by morning.". . . (10/8/09) - "I would just like to thank Leon for getting the stalls ready and having a place to stay during my trip. Thanks, Star T Ranch - Fort Worth, Texas." | |||||||

I wish for a reason to return to Nebraska so as to have an excuse to stay again, what a breakfast!". . .(12/7/07) - "Fabulous, luxurious brand new drive through barn with roomy, wonderful stalls. Human accommadations were some of the finest I have ever stayed in. Our host could not have been more accommodating." | |||||||

| Comments: (3/28/07) - "The care that was given to my horses was absolutely wonderful. Amy Jo spent time brushing them, putting them out to pasture to play and keeping them well fed and watered. The facility is new and well kept. Amy Jo went overboard to make the unexpected, last minute stay at her facility a lifelong great memory. If you want to know more about my stay there send me an e-mail ride7@juno.com so that I can elaborate more. Happy traveler in the mist of a blizzard! Pattie.". . .(8/3/07) - "Great convenient location. Very easy to get to. Nice new facilities. Amy Jo was willing to help us in any way.". . .(9/9/07) - "This was a great place! Amy was a good hostess and you can tell she loves horses and is proud of her facility. Convenient to Interstate and very well kept. Room for our horses to move around after a long ride in the trailer.". . .(9/17/07) - "What a neat place, very friendly, easy access, nice large pens. Wish you all the luck of building your operation up, would stay again.". . .(5/30/08) - "This is a top-rate facility. Fabulous paddocks with shelter for the horses - lots of room to stretch after a long day in the trailer. Make your reservations for the KOA right across the road ahead of time, as they were full when we got there. Very excellent facility!". . . (6/6/09) - "This was my first time for me and I was treated GREAT. I just want to say thanks and when I go through Nebraska again this is the place that I will go to put my horse up." | |||||||

| Comments: (3/11/06) - "Brenda and Jim made our stay a wonderful experience. The barn is GREAT and our horse was in a very nice stall with mats and auto waterers. The spot for the trailer was great. Brenda and Jim opened up the office with full bathroom facilities for our use. We even brought friends with us on the return trip. I travel all around the country as a clinician and have not found any facility that even comes close to Miracle Hills Ranch. I rate them a 105 with extra for a friendly, helpful staff. Our truck broke down and they had a great dealer 20 min away and were extremly helpful with getting on the road again. Thanks Brenda and Jim.". . .(7/29/06) - "Staying at Miracle Hills Ranch was like being on "vacation". The facilities, horse care and hosts are all first class. The best!". . .(6/16/08) - "One of the BEST horse motels we've stayed at ever! Jim & Brenda were excellent hosts. Nice facility. Clean, safe stalls. Exercise area. Easy access. We stayed 6/5 (westbound) and 6/14 (eastbound). Parking was not a problem for our two 45 ft trailers and 2 Freightliner trucks with room to spare. Pull through drive. Very quiet. Brenda wouldn't even let us clean our stalls, how cool is that! We'll be back." | |||||||

| Comments: (7/11/05) - "As CHA Certified barn owners we can't say enough about the safety and quality of the care our 6 horses received while at Duane and Rose's. "5" Star horse hotel all the way.". . .(9/29/05) - "This was our first experience with a horse motel, and with horse ownership. Rose was very nice, and helped us get our horse loaded the next day. I highly recommend this facility.". . .(9/25/06) - "This was our first experience traveling with a horse this distance. There was no limit as to what Rose would do to help us make this a comfortable stay for both us and our horse. Their facility was so extremely nice and our horse has never had as nice of a stall to stay in! Their location from I-80 was so easy to find, but yet it was quiet and just a beautiful place for the horse to stay away from heavy traffic and noises. We would by all means tell everyone to stay here whenever they travel and need a place to stay with their horse in the Omaha/Council Bluffs area!!". . .(6/12/07) - "Rose is so very conscientious and will take wonderful care of your horse. I highly recommend this facilty. I had complete peace of mind leaving my horse in her care going to and returning from CO. Thank you!". . .(7/20/07) - "Wonderful place. We had clean accommodations right in the barn. Would stop there again.". . .(8/15/07) - "Rose and Duane were the most accommodating hosts I have ever come in contact with. The facility was much more than expected and I would recommend anyone traveling this direction to stay here.". . .(8/19/07) - "Lazy R Ranch is a wonderful facility to stop at. On top of being overall very nice people, Rose and her family take amazing care of your horse as if it was one of their own. They were the only place I stopped that checked on my horse all throughout his stay, and they did everything possible to keep him safe and happy which gave me peace of mind. The facilities are immaculate as well! It is very reasonably priced - the same as other layover facilities- but with ten times the service. I urge anybody passing through Nebraska to stop here for layovers!". . .(8/19/08) - "The entire experience was a complete delight. Rose is a wonderful host, checking on my horse more often than I did to be sure she was drinking and eating properly! Turnout for horse and bunkhouse for us were both immaculate and welcoming. We took advantage of the local garage to sneak in an oil change on the truck, and resupplied at the local mall. We would stay here again in an instant!". . . (1/29/09) - "Rose was a lifesaver. She couldn't have been more gracious, kind, or accommodating, despite the last minute notice. Easier to find than it might seem and she gives great directions. I was overwhelmed by her hospitality and helpfulness. Thanks, Rose! See you on my next trip." | |||||||

Our horses were able to move around in a nice paddock so they could stretch after a long day in the trailer.". . . (5/1/09) - "Great hospiltality and courteous service. Highly recommend this facility to all. I traveled in late on a Friday night after Thanksgiving with a newly purchased filly and was delighted with the facility.
