The Midwestern region of the United States is home to twelve states, each with its own image and personality but together serves much of the country’s agricultural needs. That being said, you can expect vast fields, rich farms, and rolling hills when visiting this region. One of the states you shouldn’t miss out on when traveling to the Midwest is Nebraska. There are plenty of interesting places to see here and one of them is the city of Lincoln, the state capital. Famously named after the country’s sixteenth president, Lincoln is a hub of history, culture, and green spaces. They owe the majority of its population and sights to the University of Nebraska, which is the state’s biggest university. The city holds a number of cultural events yearly, particularly in sports, which makes the atmosphere fun and communal. For places to visit, you should check out Nebraska State Capitol and Sunken Gardens. If you’re planning a trip here soon, you should read our list below for the top Airbnbs in Lincoln, Nebraska.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on February 06, 2024.

1. Hip and colorful pad for the young ones (from USD 81)

From the photos alone, you will have guessed that this would be ideal for young people to check-in. The interiors are colorful with the walls lined with popping artworks amidst a background painted in a cool green shade. The dining area is not your traditional one as the counter tabletop is lined with bar stools. Entertainment is also readily available on a flat-screen television with an awesome sound system, perfect for game nights. If the interiors aren’t hip enough for you, the location is also perfect for younger folks as it is a stone’s throw from the University of Nebraska.
