Escape to nature by the niobrara river

Welcome to Niobrara Riverview Retreat

Escape the rush of everyday life and discover a peaceful getaway in the heart of the Nebraska Sandhills. Just 4.7 miles from Valentine, our ranch sits along nearly two miles of the Wild & Scenic Niobrara River, offering rustic comfort, wide-open skies, and endless opportunities for adventure and relaxation.

Group Lodging, Events & Activities

Whether you’re planning a family reunion, church retreat, team-building getaway, multi-family vacation, or special event, our lodge is the perfect place to gather. We welcome groups of all sizes—from couples looking for a quiet escape to gatherings of up to 57 guests—with rustic, but comfortable accommodations and a setting that encourages connection and relaxation. Did we mention we are pet friendly?

One of the highlights of any stay is the chance to float the Wild & Scenic Niobrara River. Spend the day drifting past towering sandstone cliffs and cascading waterfalls while spotting wildlife such as deer, otter, and even soaring bald eagles. Choose your pace—relax in a tube, or paddle by canoe or kayak—for a river experience you won’t forget.

In the off-season, our lodge also welcomes hunters and ice fishermen looking for a warm and comfortable retreat after a day outdoors. Limited camping is available as well, with access to showers, restrooms, and water and electrical hook-ups. For guests traveling with horses, we provide overnight stabling and trail riding opportunities so you can explore the landscape on horseback.

Whatever brings you here, we’ll work with you to create a custom package that fits your group’s needs and goals.
