As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
We don’t know about you, but when we’re traveling, we’re always on the lookout for the most unique vacation rental in Nebraska. Skip the hotels, leave the tents at home, and book a stay at this distinctive little VRBO property. Its comfy furnishings and retro styling will make you feel right at home.
When you're driving through Ainsworth, Nebraska, you might notice this charming little Conoco station that looks like it just stepped right out of the early 20th century.
Get a little closer, though, and you'll see that it's not a filling station - it's actually labeled "Philing Station."
That's because this Conoco station has been transformed into one of the cutest, dreamiest vacation rentals in the state. Owners Phil and Marsha bought the building in 2016 and spent three years restoring and updating it.
The color scheme and decor are straight out of the '50s. Don't worry about leaving the modern world behind completely, though - the Philing Station is equipped with a smart TV and free wifi.
A maximum of four people are allowed to stay at the Philing Station. A queen bed, two twin beds, and a futon will accommodate you and your traveling companions.
The adorable little kitchenette is outfitted with all of the expected kitchen appliances, and the cupboards are stocked with basic cookware, dishes, and silverware.
Start your day off right with breakfast at the red Formica table. You can even use the washer and dryer to do your laundry before getting back on the road.
If you're the type of traveler who enjoys spending some time being active and enjoying the local scenery, there's plenty to keep you busy near the Philing Station.
There are all kinds of amazing recreational activities in the area. Valentine National Wildlife Refuge, the Cowboy Trail, Smith Falls State Park, and the Scenic Niobrara River are all just a short distance from the former filling station.

However, if staying put and relaxing is more your speed, you'll love the fenced backyard with its vintage outdoor furniture and gas grill.

You’ll be just a stone’s throw away from the sweet little town of Valentine, which some people have called the best town in Nebraska.
