We enjoyed our stay at the house and it was very comfortable for a family gathering (7 adults and one toddler). The house was clean and had plenty of room for us all to spread out. We enjoyed the view of Carter Lake and watching the squirrels and ducks. The deck was a nice place to sit and visit in the afternoon sun. The location was perfect for trips to the Zoo and the Old Market area for some antiquing. There were a couple of minor maintenance issues (cupboard doors not staying closed). I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable experience.

Scenic, cozy, and inviting

This home was amazing! As a family of 6 with three young children I was a little nervous about safety and cleanliness after a previous rental experience in Omaha, but Stephen answered all of my questions, and when I arrived I was immediately relieved. The house was clean and well maintained. There had been a bad hail storm shortly before we arrived, but we never would have guessed. The homeowners took care of getting the home cleaned and fixed up before we arrived - the only evidence of the storm was in other neighborhood homes under repair. The house sits right on the lake offering a wonderful view. Our kids loved watching the ducks in the morning and evening. The old market, downtown and the baseball stadium are also very close. I can not imagine a better home for our family to vacation in, and I look forward to future visits.

Owner response:I must say there was a fair amount of sweat that went into getting things back in order. Who would ever have anticipated getting baseball sized hail in our high season! Your review made it all worth it.

3 of my friends and I just stayed at this house for opening weekend of the CWS last weekend. We were blown away by the size and beauty of this house. You have beautiful views of the lake no matter where you go in the house. It trult felt like home away from home!

Owner response:It is tough to beat some of the scenic views in Arizona, so we are sure glad we could provide such a great impression of Omaha. Hope you are able to return again soon.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Lake House! We enjoyed the view of the snow covered lake from the large windows in the living room! Absolutely stunning. We are a famliy of five and the house was more than accommodating. Also drove over to the ski resort in Iowa for the day! (About 30 minutes drive) Would definitely recommend this property for anyone staying in the Omaha area! Thanks for offering a great place to spend time away from home!

Owner response:Glad we could oblige and certainly agree with a home away from home for an extended stay.

Our stay at the lake was was very enjoyable. The house is very clean, and had lots of room for us all to spread out. We really enjoyed the view of Carter Lake and watching the sunset over the lake in the evenings.

The house has more room in it than you can actually tell by looking at the photos. It is very spacious and nice. Walking out of the balcony is a very nice view of the lake. Stephen, the owner, was very helpful in getting my Dad's cell phone back to us that he left on the rental property and he did not have to do that for us. Thank you Stephen for going that extra mile. I would recommend this property to anyone. We had a wonderful family outing and I would not trade the memories we made for anything in the world.

Owner response:Susie - thank you. It was no problem returning your lost item. I agree is it hard to get the feeling for the two living rooms and open floor plan until you see it first hand. Glad everything worked out well.

Great place in Omaha

We visited Omaha for the College World Series and had a great time at the house. The setting was fantastic, the house was clean and spacious.

Owner response:Robert - thank you. Next year we will be even closer as the CWS moves downtown and within just a couple minutes from our property.

Date of Stay: 06/04/10 Review Submitted: 06/22/10

The house is clean, spacious, and very comfortable. There were six adults in our party and we chose this location for the convenience to downtown Omaha and the opportunity it provided for everyone to share a common areas instead of gathering in a small hotel room. Beautiful view overlooking the lake and the paved pathways along the lake make for a wonderful stroll anytime of the day. The property is tucked away in a residential area with narrow streets so was difficult to locate at first, but once there was certainly worth it. Good value for the money!

Owner response:I'm happy to see my alma mater and home town mentioned in the same line. :-) Glad to see you were able to take in amenities like the paved pathways along the lake. We have tried to figure a way to make it easier to find but have only come up with "its the only yellow house at the end of the lane and looks just like the pictures". Even GPS systems are half a block off so we are sure the mention that ahead of time. I figure it all adds to the exclusivity once you arrive.

Perfect place to stay for my son's Omaha wedding

Guest: Lorrie (Lancaster, PA)
Date of Stay: 05/27/10 Review Submitted: 07/14/10

We had a wonderful time at your lakehouse over Memorial Day weekend for our son's wedding. We had four generations of our family out from Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Ohio - and it was so much nicer staying together rather than in several hotel rooms. The location so near the airport was great for meeting so many flights, and yet it felt like a resort on the lake - and so close to downtown. The house was comfortable and very clean. Our only complaint was that we must have been the first guests of the season to use the deck and it took us a while to clean it before it could be used.

Owner response:Lorrie - Thank you for your feedback. We will work to keep things clean and in order including the deck. :-)

A wonderful experience

Guest: d.b. (Jerusalem, Israel)
Date of Stay: 03/31/10 Review Submitted: 06/21/10

We rented this property last April (2010) to attend a family reunion in Omaha/CB. It was perfect. The location is superb - about five minutes from the airport - yet there is absolutely no airport noise that we were aware of. The house is big with a well equipped kitchen and had all of the amenities that we might have needed. We were comfortable (including our baby granddaughter). The house is just a few meters from Carter Lake and the view is splendid. We would recommend this property for other families visiting the Omaha/Council Bluffs area and look forward to renting again in the future. Dan and Line Jerusalem (Israel)

Owner response:D.B. I think you may be our first guest from "around the world". It was a pleasure meeting your sister and glad we could accommodate your trip. We plan to be here for many years to come so we will see you on your next visit to the States.

Your large, comfortable vacation home was an oasis for our group during the Olympics swimming trials. The perfect location gave us easy access to the Qwest Center, airport, restaurants, and shopping. The neighbors were very friendly and we enjoyed the walking path on Carter Lake. We were also able to check something off of our "bucket list": we saw fireflies for the first time in our lives! Though our God daughter didn't make it to Beijing, she made it to the semi-finals and, all in all, the experience was one we'll never forget!

Owner response:Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We love your bucket list and are very happy to share our fireflies! Best wishes to your God daughter in 2012.

We had never been to Nebraska before and were amazed that we found a little piece of heaven in the middle of a big city like Omaha! The house and lake were beutiful, but the people we meet made it a trip we will never forget!

Owner response:Jean - thank you. It is great to be part of such a wonderful memory for you.
