Quiet home on the lake

DanRating, 5 stars5 days ago
We really enjoyed staying right on the lake! I really appreciated that everything was labeled and easy to find along with the welcome basket and personal note that was a nice touch! The extra towels, life vests and amenities were great and everyone in our group commented on how you thought of almost anything people would need. Thank you again and look forward to the next stay!

Cheerful two bedroom lake home.

CarolRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This Lake View home was awesome!! You immediately feel at home. It has a huge kitchen, big beautiful great room, light filled space, nice beds and has the softest, comfiest, biggest couch to easily seat a whole family! We had a wedding nearby and it was far and above staying in a hotel because we could all be comfortable and together. After an unexpected inconvenience in the house, Brian was very responsive and made everything accommodating for us during our entire stay. I would not hesitate to stay here again when we visit family again in LV!! It’s a beautiful place to enjoy and has everything you need right there for a great getaway!

Lake House near downtown Omaha and all Attractions

LisaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Scott’s place is an absolute hidden gem on Carter Lake! We stayed here for a family wedding and couldn’t have asked for a better home base. The house was spotless, spacious, and had everything we needed — from board games to a fully stocked kitchen to three pristine full bathrooms (a huge help with three men in the wedding party!). The backyard was perfect for making memories: bonfires, fishing, and plenty of space for the kids to run around and play soccer. It easily accommodated our three families, with plenty of room to gather, relax, and stay up late talking and connecting. Everything in the home feels brand new, and it’s clear that a lot of care went into making it welcoming and comfortable. Our only regret is that we didn’t have more downtime to enjoy all the house had to offer. We’ve all agreed — this is officially our new go-to spot whenever we’re back in Council Bluffs for future family events! Thank you, Scott, for such a wonderful stay!

Family Lake Getaway

OnyxRating, 5 stars3 days ago
We came to Clarion for my Grandmother’s funeral and the home was a wonderful place to stay. It is extremely clean and organized. The lake was relaxing and while we didn’t use the kayaks, it’s a nice bonus if you get a chance to do so. Would absolutely stay again!

Quiet Country home, nature & fishing -5min to city

MiaRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
This was the perfect place for our family to celebrate my Mother’s life. The tranquility was healing. We really appreciated the space for family to gather and the children loved all the outdoor space. They have done an amazing job of stocking the house with everything you can think of….games, towels, bathroom amenities, etc.

Melissa's house was perfect! Everything about it was stunning, homey, and cozy. We had a girls weekend there are everyone was amazed at how lovely everything was. We watched the sunset at the lakeside, made dinner, and spent time on the private patio playing games. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect stay!

Sunny Days Valley View Villa 3

TammyRating, 5 stars10 months ago
Loved our stay. 2 days there were 13 of us definitely tested the capacity lots of room. My husband and I added a day , he seldom gets summer vacations. Bring blankets especially if people sleeping on couches. More kitchen stocking if doing a lot of cooking. The house was awesome one level especially the game room extra space. Two sleeper sofa’s would work in there. Lots of room for large groups. Fire pit and pool absolutely great. Patio and two doors on the poolside was very useful. I did call Douglas with a few questions, very accommodating and friendly.

The Lakeview! View & Location!

KatieRating, 5 stars6 months ago
My family loved our stay at Robyn's place, the location is absolutely beautiful, the home has been been beautifully and thoughtfully remodeled with many creature comforts. Furniture and beds were very comfortable. You can tell a lot of love when into curating and decorating this home, my 9 year old called it "so aesthetic", which is a high honor. We hope to visit again!

Silver Lake Home Getaway

SondraRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
As I came into Brents home, my smile became larger and larger, as I moved from room to room. It was the perfect place for our family of 10! Kid friendly and Dog friendly! We fished, enjoyed a day trip to Arnolds Park, and loved just enjoying each other in a beautiful home!

Lagoon Home Weekly and monthly discounts.

KatelynRating, 5 starstoday
We had an amazing stay. The lagoon was beautiful and the kids had fun swimming and fishing. The beds were not the most comfortable and it was 90 degrees the whole weekend so the air conditioner had a hard time keeping up. The house was a minute drive from the boat ramp and 7 minutes from town where there were restaurants, ice cream, coffee shops, a splash pad and many more fun things to do. The amenities were amazing, the house was beautiful and we had a great time.

Clear Lake Retreat - near beach, parks + downtown!

TomRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Our stay at this beautiful, historic home was better than we could have imagined. The house is a perfect blend of historic home and modern amenities. We all slept so well in the comfortable beds. The home is located within walking distance to City Beach, downtown and all the fun Clear Lake has to offer. Instructions regarding the stay were clear and helpful. I would highly recommend a stay!

Newly Remodeled House on Cedar Lake!

TraylaRating, 5 stars8 months ago
My sister in law and I enjoyed taking our kids on a quick cousins get away! The lake was amazing, and it was really nice to have kayaks! The bikes were also very fun to explore the trails. Our favorite thing was the hot tub on the deck. It was perfect!
