Sitting on 4,200 acres of land, this working cattle ranch has history! The property used to be a part of the Oak View amusement park back in the 1800s: recreating on this land is in its roots! The original owner decided to make a modern-day amusement park for recreational purposes. The park featured its own baseball field and team, a large ballroom with an octagon dance floor, cabins and boats, a rodeo, and an olympic-size swimming pool. The barn wasn’t just home to horses and sheep, but used to host barn dances as well. Over 100 years later, we have renovated this barn into our main lodge and the living room floor sits right where the dance hall floor used to be. Although the old park land is not part of our hunting grounds, we are happy to show people around if they are interested.

Meanwhile, the remainder of the land is great for hunting. Just 3 hours outside of Omaha, NE, we are located right on the edge of the Nebraska Sandhills. The property features everything from rolling grassland hills to oak hardwood bottoms to cedar timber. There are several hay meadows and alfalfa fields as well as small row crops that we use as our food plots. Water sources include Verdigre Creek running through part of the land as well as several private ponds. We are happy to allow sportsmen to take a few fish home, although we are primarily focused on the hunting grounds. With rolling grasslands in the west, hardwood bottoms in the east and everything in between, we are a very diverse property!

We are happy to offer two options for lodging. Our main lodge features a bunk house with three sets of bunk beds, two being twin over fulls, and a loft with a few more twin beds. In all, it can host about 8-10 people. In addition, the lodge has two bathrooms and showers, washer/dryer, a game cleaning room, and full kitchen.

The second lodging option includes an A-frame cabin that we built 23 years ago. The cabin is located just a half mile from the main lodge and hosts two beds on the lower level plus two on the second floor. There is no running water or electricity- the cabin runs on propane for a cookstove and a wood stove for heat. However, it sits right on the shore of one of our lakes and some of our guests really love it for the peace and quiet it can provide.

We believe that you will have the best experience on our land if we give you a 3-day guided or semi-guided hunt. We are dedicated to the process; arrive the evening before and we will make sure you have a great few days of hunting! We know exactly how to navigate the food plots, utilize the game cameras and blinds, etc. so you can be sure something happens out there.

Sportsmen are responsible for having their own permits, Nebraska does not allow us to sell our Landowner permits to anyone other than family. Turkey permits are unlimited in NE.
No drugs allowed on the premise of the ranch and no alcohol when out hunting.

    We loved everything about the property and especially the landowner. Darin took lots of time showing us around and checking in to see how we were doing. He directed us to a spot one day that trail cameras had shown birds and we were able to harvest a bird there. The accommodations and amount of game were second to none. Darin did everything he could to put us in good spots and we all harvested birds. Oak View Ranch and the operators are true stewards of property and wildlife. It's a trip of a lifetime!

    Russell was a great guest at our ranch and treated everything very nicely. He made sure to close pasture gates when they went through them and treated our land with respect. I enjoyed getting to meet him and his family. They were good guests and I would highly recommend them as guests.

    Darin and his son Ethan were great. They communicated very well even above expectations for weeks before our hunt. They took plenty of time to show us the property when we arrived. The lodge was excellent. The turkey population was good. It's that way because they manage it intensely.

    Erich and his group just completed their first hunt with Oakview and it went very well. They respected all of our requests, and seemed to really enjoy doing their hunt. We had a good time the first evening getting to know them and talk about the land and what to expect during their hunts. We would welcome them back.

    Everything was even better than expected! Darin and the guys are top notch. The lodge and accommodations are 2nd to none! Plenty of animals (in my case turkeys) and it's worth the trip just for the scenery and hospitality! Looking at the deer on the wall and the pictures from the past I'll definitely be back in the fall and for sure next spring! Never heard so much gobbling!

    Blair was a great guest and very polite and courteous. He really seemed to enjoy all aspects of doing a hunt in a new state and in a new place. I would recommend him for any other landowners

    Oak View Ranch is a heck of a place to stay and hunt turkeys! We killed our 5 birds in a hurry and we're able to kick back and relax at the lodge, do some fishing and enjoy the tranquility of the place, highly recommend.

    Jared and his group from On X were a good group and you could tell they took time to make sure they took care of the land and the lodge. They were good hunters and we’re all able to get their birds in the first day and a half.

Enjoy hunting, fishing, hiking, skiing and almost anything in the great outdoors. I esp like big game hunting and have been lucky enough to hunt in several of our western states and Alaska.
