About this cottage rental
Relax with the whole family at this peaceful lake cottage or take a needed solo getaway. Views of Lake Manawa and steps away you can put in your kayak or throw out a fishing line. Amazing trails very close to the home. These trials connect to Wabash Trace, downtown Omaha, the Riverfront, and more.
Very close to I29 and I80, Iowa West Field House/Sports Plex, Iowa Western, Creighton, Henry Doorly Zoo, Lauritzen Gardens, Old Market, CHI Center, Mid American Center, Stir Concert Cove, and so much more.
The space
We fell in love with this cozy little lake cottage and hope you do as well. It’s designed for families or small groups to enjoy the lake and community we love so much. Yet it’s also the perfect size for a getaway as a couple to relax and unwind. The kitchen is stocked with everything you could need for indoor or outdoor meals, the beds and linens are comfy, there are games for adults and kids, smart tvs, full size air hockey table and old school pac man cocktail table game.
Guest access
You have access to the entire home just not the garage. The yard surrounding the home is very small, if you’re bringing your furry family members along please be courteous of the neighbors and keep them on a leash or right near the home, and of course pick up after them.
Other things to note
This home is tucked behind another house right off the main street. So your lake views are partially obstructed by that home. On the deck you can still see the water really well and a quick walk across the road gives you unbeatable sunsets.
Bicycles and helmets are available upon request for an additional fee. What better way to take advantage of the nearby trails?
Kayaks and stand up paddle boards are also available upon request for an additional fee.
We love your furry family members and welcome dogs but no cats are allowed.
To respect our wonderful neighbors we do not allow gatherings, parties, or events of any kind inside or outside the home.
This listing is priced assuming a family of 4. We can easily accommodate 8. If more than 4 people stay we charge an extra $20/person.

We planned to visit Omaha, however being July, we wanted a lake experience as well. This house was in a beautiful neighborhood and close to the beach area of the lake. We were also only about 10-15 minutes from the zoo, Old Market, etc. We also loved the set up and game room. Perfect for our family of 4. Unfortunately, the beach was closed during our visit, but we still loved the house and location. I would definitely recommend this house and would stay again!

The house was in great shape and close to activities in and around Omaha. Communication with owners was excellent

We loved our stay. It was a great space! We loved the game room! We loved the amenities! We struggled figuring out the coffee pot. But otherwise it was a great stay! Did you know it is only listed as a two bedroom but when you go in it shows three bedrooms? We just wanted you to know! Great place!

We had a wonderful stay in Omaha! The property was comfortable and in a fantastic location. The hosts were communicative during our stay, and the space was perfect for our family needs.
