Here we go! The Pines crew had a great day on the creek this weekend. It seems all year is a good time to fish in this trout filled creek. Jim here (my dad) was able to bag us a wonderful supper for 5 in under 2 hours with hook in water. We cooked them and counted our blessings as these clean water fish are top-notch eating. Our 14-inch cast iron skillet was just big enough to fit the lot.

The Long Pine area boasts some of the most storied and teaming naturally spawning trout streams in the midwest. The clean water springing out of the sandhills makes for healthy fish and other wildlife.

Our cabins are open for the summer season, and we are hard at work on many restoration projects. Stop by on your way to the creek or give us a call at 402-273-1037 to check availability for your next visit. Maybe you could come out this weekend?

Spring is springing! It has been warming up, and today, we now have 5 cabins open for the season. We've had guests enjoying the end of winter and coming of spring. Now, here in the month of May, we have a lot of availability with the extra cabins open. We have a rare opportunity to be able to grab a longer warm weather stay here at The Pines if you can come in May. Our calendar is filling up, so don't hesitate to make a reservation by calling 402-273-1037.

Myself, I'm gonna take a walk in the creek and see what bites. πŸͺ±πŸŸπŸΈπŸ¦‹πŸπŸ¦¦πŸ¦«πŸ¦ƒπŸ¦…πŸ’

The Pines is having a big yard sale starting right now. The containers and all that was in them must go! We want it all gone so bad that we are accepting any donation amount for a majority of all that's here. Yup, we want you to take boxes so we can get rid of the shipping containers that this stuff filled. WE WANT OUR YARD BACK. Don't be shy. Come ready to load up. All items are first come, first serve.

A year ago, we started our journey here at the historic Pines. Throughout the year, we have cleared every building to get a fresh start. These two red containers were the last spaces to get to. All that was in the shipping containers is now on the lawn, ready for you to take home. If we can get all this to homes, it means we can finally get these eye sores off the Pines! We need your help to get this done. Come rummage and tell your friends.

Give us a call at 402-273-1037 if you have any questions.

Do note that all these items were the things we felt we couldn't take to the dump, but we have no use for them.

We are open to offers on the shipping container, lawn mower, propane heaters, and a few other higher value items.

We have had such a beautiful and productive winter here at the Pines. This snow came in last night, and we are thankful for the moisture we have been gifted.

This is Cabin 8. We are excited to start offering this cabin as an all seasons cabin. After watching how the cabins handle the biting cold, we are confident to say we are now keeping the Pines open through the whole year. That gives us two cabins, Cabin 8 and Cabin 11, that we are currently heating and allowing guests to visit in cold weather. Cabin 8 has a full-size bed, and cabin 11 has a queen size bed.

Call us at 402-273-1037 to reserve a stay before the spring or get first dibs on your preferred weekend for the year. Popular weekends are already filling, so don't hesitate to call and chat if you want to plan in advance.

As the season moves on, we look forward to what restoration projects we will accomplish this year. Bee and I are most excited to start uncovering and bringing the old wood floors back to life.

Let this year be a joyful and productive one for us all.

P.S. - I love the shape of the two large pine trees pictured here.

We have opened our books for 2026. Call our landline at 402-273-1037 to book your visit here at The Pines.

Here is our game plan for the year. For the next couple of months, we will be offering 1 heated cabin. Come May 1st, we will offer 5 cabins. If the weather is fair, we may be able to add more cabins to the lineup as we finish up restoration projects. Our elders say things will take 3 times as long as you expect, so no promises.

All reservations must be done over a phone call as it is important for us to speak with every guest prior to your visit. We value person to person communication and appreciate your understanding. Once you have reserved a cabin, your name goes in these little books so we can have clear records to keep track of all the moving parts.

We are approaching the end of our first full year hosting The Pines and have enjoyed our winter here in the valley. Just like our first season, all cabins are available through donations only. We loved how the donations have allowed flexibility for so many new and old faces as they visit this beautiful area. Our vision is forming, and we can't wait to continue making memories with everyone as the season comes into full swing.
