Visitors to Red Cloud are invited to book a stay at the Cather Second Home. Guests may rent the room that was Cather's, or the rooms of her parents and siblings. The entire home may also be rented for family retreats, meetings, and special occasions. The Cather Second Home once provided Cather with a nurturing and encouraging atmosphere in which to work, while Red Cloud and its residents gave her inspiration and insights. The house—now owned and operated by the Willa Cather Foundation—is a retreat for guests as it was for Willa Cather. There are 6 cozy guest rooms and 2.5 baths.

Red Cloud is at the crossroads of two highways and you are at town center, so as expected, you make experience some street noise. Highway, 136, east-west, is designated as a Heritage Highway, one of nine scenic byways in the state. Highway 281 is the longest continuous three digit north-south route in America and the only one to stretch from Canada (at the International Peace Garden) to the Mexican border.

Guest access

Several apartments share entry stairs from the street, but you will be the only guest with access to your apartment.

There are 23 steps up to this second floor apartment.

Other things to note

Red Cloud has the nation’s largest collection of nationally designated historic sites dedicated to an American author, most within walking distance of this apartment.
