Game room - Large Soaker Tub 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. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Electric car charging station on site - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV - Video games ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request - Housekeeping on request - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - On a lake ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Bicycles - Kayak - Paddleboard - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bed sheets changed on request - Bicycles - Cleaning products are eco-friendly - Double-glazed windows - Electric car charging station - Housekeeping (on request) - Humane treatment of captive wild animals - Local artist showcase - Recycling - Towels (changed on request) - Unit size: 1,568 square feet - Water-efficient showers ## Similar properties ![TV, offices](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/121000000/120730000/120720600/120720592/a4aa87f3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Midtown Omaha Escape | Luxury Comfort & Location Southeast Omaha - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Air-conditioning [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-26&endDate=2026-02-27&selected=120720592&PinnedHotelID=120720592&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/121000000/120620000/120616100/120616038/33c9c207.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Garage, Deck, Family Retreat by Interstates Papillion - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Air-conditioning [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-26&endDate=2026-02-27&selected=120616038&PinnedHotelID=120616038&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/120000000/119900000/119898600/119898513/efd1cf30.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Fun, Chill & Cozy in Papillion Papillion - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Air-conditioning 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-26&endDate=2026-02-27&selected=119898513&PinnedHotelID=119898513&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/121000000/120730000/120720700/120720652/6bbb0402.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Accessible Escape- Completely Handicap accessible!
