Great family house

Lake view

Loved looking out at the lake while having coffee in the morning. Saw all kinds of birds including a bald eagle. Watched relatives planes land and take off but airport noise was not an issue. Wish I could see this location when trees are leafed out and green.

Relaxing Getaway

Amazing property! More than enough room for all the ladies to getaway and relax. Coffee on the deck with the lake as our view was a favorite. Closing to Old Market District and great restaurants. Great amenities provided. A relaxing float on the lake which had access to the water from property was perfect!

Great rental on the lake

Two families stayed at the house for the CWS in Omaha. Plenty of room, clean, well-equipped on a pretty lake! We extended our stay since our team kept winning games in the CWS and the hosts were gracious and helpful in allowing us to stay. Thank you for everything! Definitely recommend.

Beautiful Lake House

This house was perfect for our family of 7 to stay over Thanksgiving. House is very nice, clean and has a beautiful view of Carter Lake. Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need! We saw ducks and geese every day and even had a few bald eagle sightings. Would love to come back to enjoy the lake in the warmer weather!

Amazing lakehouse & amazing stay!

This property is absolutely amazing! You can tell the owners care deeply about their guests from their meticulous cleaning to the quality of the home and what they have available for entertainment (plus extra outdoor towels!). The beds are super comfortable, owners are easy to get ahold of for anything, the home is spacious and the backyard is incredible. We stayed here with family, including a 1 year old, and had nothing but an amazing experience. They even had a pack n play and a baby gate that we could use which was AMAZING. Thought it might be a bit loud because we were close to the airport and downtown, but you honesty have no clue. It's an amazing getaway in the heart of Omaha! 12/10 highly recommend & we will be staying here next time we're in town!!

Great Place to Celebrate and Relax

The Carter Lake house was the perfect setting for our family gathering. We had a double celebration - a college graduation and Mother's Day. The diversity of activities and comforts of the home were impressive. We spent time outside on the lake with the kayaks, in the nicely kept back yard playing cornhole, and enjoyed the fire pit under the stars. Inside, we played games in the cozy living room, cooked together in the lovely kitchen, and just enjoyed each other's company throughout the house. This property is close to everything Omaha has to offer and is in a beautiful lakeside setting. It was so quiet, you wouldn't know it was so close to the airport. One of the unique things about this house is that it sits right on the state border. Make a point to read the welcome booklet for details when you arrive and for the best place to pick up groceries for your memorable stay!

Outstanding for a large group

We chose this property for a sibling reunion that required 5 bedrooms and at least 3 bathrooms. The house was freshly renovated with comfortable and tasteful decor, and the owners thought through important details like bedside tables, lamps and mirrors in each bedroom (which sounds like it should be a staple but hasn't always been in our experience). The kitchen was well stocked and we really valued having a gas grill on the deck. We especially appreciated having sitting areas, dining and bedrooms on both levels so that those wanting a quieter space didn't have to go far. We took full advantage of this being a lakefront property, and were glad to learn that the owner provided four kayaks, life vests, lawn games and more. While it's close to the Omaha airport, we didn't hear any plane noise indoors. We would definitely come back. A big thank you to Scott for making our stay so enjoyable.

Beautiful & peaceful place to relax with family!

This property quickly became one of our favorite rentals! There are two living areas (downstairs has two bedrooms, a bathroom, spacious living area: couches, fireplace, tv, and two tables, indoor & outdoor games, large windows looking at the lake). We enjoyed the outdoor tables and seating on the deck and the lakeside fire pit, as well as the extra large yard. Our boys had fun kayaking and fishing. For a suburban neighborhood near an airport, it was surprisingly quiet and we felt safe. Bedrooms are spacious and everyone in our family gave the beds a "super comfortable"rating! As a mom of 3 boys, I appreciated that they (13,16, 17y.o.) could run around the property and have ample space to play downstairs. This house has 3 full bathrooms, 5 clean and comfortable bedrooms, 2 refrigerators, great lighting in the kitchen and living areas, large picture windows upstairs and downstairs facing the lake. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and grilling. Oh, and the owner was very responsive and helpful with info. Loved it!!

Great Property!

This house was perfect for our group. It's clean, spacious, and well-appointed. We didn't cook while there, so I can't comment on the cookware, but there are plenty of dishes and utensils provided. I have stayed in other rentals where we literally had to wash dishes every day just to have enough to use on a daily basis. Scott, the owner, is very responsive. We traveled with a two year old, and Scott let me know there was a Pack N Play and a high chair available should we need them. There is even a vacuum in the front closet! There are games and books for all ages in the lower level. I am pretty sure we read the Frozen book to the granddaughters at least 6 times during our three day stay. The house is on a large lake-front fenced in lot. The outdoor space is as welcoming as the indoors, but the weather didn't cooperate for us to enjoy it. Should we need accommodations in the Omaha area again, we will definitely return to this house!
