Guest Access:
Guests have access to the entire main home & attached garage, game room, lakefront patio, hot tub, dock and guest recreational amenities.
The Neighborhood:
Located in a quiet residential area, 10 min to the Zoo, 15 minutes to the Old Market Omaha, CWS Stadium, Chi Center and more! 5 minutes from restaurants and plenty of shopping. Lake Manawa is a state park and has a wonderful trail system you can walk or bike to directly from the house.
Getting Around:
Recommend a car but plenty can be accessed with a bike
Other Things to Note:
Someone will be onsite Monday evenings to service the hot tub and mow the grass in the back. They will enter through the side gate and will not be in the house.
Do note the jet skis are NOT included during your stay. Please don't tie boats to the dock — it's built for people, not mooring.
YOUR STORM PLAN, JUST IN CASE
Below the sunroom floor is a below-ground storm shelter, reached through a trap door. If a tornado warning is issued during your stay, that is your spot. The rest of the time, please keep the trap door closed.
Interaction with Guests:
Self check-in and check-out. I am available virtually to help answer any questions, solve any issues or concerns and can also help with local recommendations - whatever you need to make your stay a great one!
