Getting away from everyday life and unplugging for a while is one of the best ways to refresh your soul and make the world seem a little brighter. There's a little place tucked away off the highway in western Nebraska that will let you leave everything behind and relax in true small-town style.

Take a trip out to western Nebraska for one of the most serene, relaxing places you'll ever spend a night.

As you approach Sidney, you'll see signs that beckon you to pull over and find out what this "Blue Iron Oasis" is all about.

When you pull up you'll instantly feel the peace emanating from this five-acre private ranch. The philosophy of the owners is simple and sweet: "Remember, we are not machines. We must unplug and rest in order to fully recharge and operate."

This is the perfect place for it. Nestled right in the heart of the heartland, this little roadside motel will make you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere. It's so beautiful and serene that people hold weddings, family events, and parties here.

When you arrive (after making a reservation, of course), you'll no doubt be charmed by all of the little touches that make this motel so special.

The lobby is so cozy that you may want to just sit and relax for a while. It's rustic and retro, country and cute, and altogether enchanting.

Be sure to ask about the free movies, free popcorn, and free internet access - if you want to do something other than relaxing in peace during your stay, that is.

If you were around in the heyday of roadside motels, this place will bring fond memories flooding back. It's the perfect combination of adorable retro styling and modern conveniences.

There are plenty of outdoor spaces to explore, but if you want to stick close by just head to one of the benches or chairs set up outside. You can even grill up some dinner on the barbecue.

The rooms are clean, cheery, and comfortable. Go ahead, treat yourself to a nap when you get there. You deserve it after being on the road!

If you're accustomed to dirty roadside motels with grouchy front desk attendants, you'll be pleasantly surprised to find the exact opposite at Blue Iron Oasis.

This comfy retreat is so remote and quiet that you won't be disturbed by the usual city or highway sounds.

When you do decide to leave your room and go exploring, you'll find plenty to keep you occupied. Horseshoes and other fun games are available, but one of the greatest activities out here is simply watching a spectacular sunset.

You won't soon forget a stay at this unique motel. From the quiet location to the friendly owners to the personal little touches that make every guest feel special, there's nothing not to love here.

Blue Iron Oasis is located at 11552 US Highway 30, just outside of Sidney. Get more information on the motel's Facebook page.
