Quick Facts
Why Glenwood & the Loess Hills
Glenwood sits in the Loess Hills of Mills County, a dramatic landscape of wind-deposited soil ridges found in only a few places worldwide, with the Loess Hills National Scenic Byway winding right through town. The Glenwood Archaeological State Preserve protects over 100 recorded sites tied to the ancient Glenwood Culture, while the wider county offers Pony Creek Park’s lake and hiking, all within a short drive of Omaha and Council Bluffs.
Best Nest Farm is a genuinely delightful farm-stay glamping property close to Omaha, with real animal encounters — alpacas, ducks, bees — and a spotless covered wagon experience, where hosts Amy and Marcel are named constantly for warmth.
