We enjoyed our Thanksgiving celebration with family members at this property. It was perfect! Great kitchen and dining set up. Really cozy and clean. Quiet, friendly neighborhood. Too cold for the lake but we’ll be back again in warmer weather! Thank you so much.

I had a lot of trouble signing into Vrbo to double check things such as what to do when leaving. Hope we did everything we were supposed to.
The furniture wasn't very comfortable - couch sagged, dining table benches were uncomfortable as they were hard and no backs. Since we played a lot of games, our backs go a little tired. Otherwise, it was well stocked, clean and a great place to sit outside by the lake and visit.

We were looking for a place to get some sunshine and this was perfect. Felt right at home and could have cooked anything if we had brought groceries, but instead went to some local restaurants. The house is clean, new, and smells great! We would come back.

Arielle is the dream to work with, she is so helpful, sweet, wonderful, fast, and amazing! She was on everything immediately, and might be an angel.
We LOVED the place! So well decorated, modern, and just how you'd dream an Air B&B would be. We went during the snow, and it was neat to see the lake frozen and we had a WHITE CHRISTMAS- score!
The area is so nice! We can't wait to go back another time when it's warmer and use the kayaks, bicycles, and firepit. But it is such a gorgeous area! Very kid friendly home, we appreciate that! The view is stunning. Arielle was such a doll and set up a Christmas tree for our stay, how thoughtful!
The furniture is very comfortable and not a detail has been forgotten. We had everything we needed to make home cooked meals every night.
Amazing water pressure and hot showers, all of the appliances are modern and awesome!
Truly a dreamy Air B&B with a view that CAN'T be beat! God bless y'all, we will be back!

Really enjoyed our stay. The small private lake is very nice. There are many homes on the lake, but everyone seems pleasant. Great view and great access to the lake, including a small private beach.

We had the most amazing stay at this lake house! The place had everything we needed and more, it was SUPER clean, and tons of items for us to enjoy the lake. I saw reviews about water issues - we had absolutely NO issues and the water was great. There was also plenty of parking and space for all of us to spread out inside and outside. Our favorite part was the outdoor fire-pit and grill! The host was so responsive and helped us plan out things to do while in the area. We loved cat fish lake and going to the Zoo. Don’t hesitate at all booking this place - we had the most amazing time and can’t wait to come back!

We enjoyed every minute of our stay in this beautiful lake-house! The host was beyond amazing from the time we booked to the time we checked out! Very neat, clean, comfy, and cozy! We spent time by the lake watching fish. We also went to a small bike ride! Most of our time was spent relaxing inside! The lavender wall plug ins gave it an even more relaxing feel! You will not regret booking your stay here!

The location is great, right on a lake. Kayaks and bikes were provided, though we had to clean them up to be able to use them.Access to the lake from the house is a little sketchy though, loose stones for steps, weathered railroad ties with large nails protruding, cinder blocks and other debris on the very tiny beach. Table outside was filthy with dried catsup and other food debris. There were beer cans in the back yard. Think we may have just caught this rental at a time when the cleaning was a little less than expected. Plenty of clean towels, bedding was nice, inside seating and dining area more than sufficient.

Weekend Review
Overall this is an ok place to stay for a weekend. It seemed like the floors could have been cleaner and the water did have a very noticeable smell (assuming it was the well water).

Great Family Vacation
We had a great stay. The kids loved swimming in the lake and fishing. They caught 9 different species of fish! The house was very comfortable, and we enjoyed the hosts restaurant recommendations too. We highly recommend Stella’s. Their burgers were amazing!

You may want to have the water there checked. It smelled horrible with a strong river scent and light green color. Old man to the west was friendly. Young woman with the two large dogs to the east was also very nice. My grown son and I enjoyed just hanging out!

Our family of 6 loved this cozy house on the lake. Location was perfect. It's only a 15-20 minute drive to the zoo and located in a nice and quiet neighborhood. I loved the boho vibe of the house. The kayaks, bikes, and beach area were a big hit. And the beds are super comfy! Loved it all!

My sister and three sister-in-laws wanted to find a get away where we didn't have to go anywhere--just sit around relax and visit. We found this here. Our favorite time was around the fire pit after dark viewing the sky and the lights reflexing off the lake:) Thanks you

My daughter and I needed a convenient spot between Lincoln and Des Moines to meet for some much needed R&R. Only 15 minutes or from Bellevue the lake setting was beautiful and felt quiet and remote. The house was comfortable, clean and well stocked. We were able to prepare our meals, watch movies, go for walks and nap. We came in March for Spring Break so it might be more active in the summer. Delightful!
