You’d be hard pressed to find a Nebraskan who doesn’t enjoy spending a day on or next to the water, and if we can manage to spend a vacation at the water’s edge, that’s kind of the dream. This gorgeous cabin in southeastern Nebraska is a chic way to enjoy some time by the water in a unique, secluded setting.

This private cabin oasis sits right on a lake in Crete, which is not too far from Lincoln.
