Pet Friendly Home by Lake Shawnee!

Whether you're looking for an escape from the city, visiting family or just passing through, this modern cabin is the perfect retreat. With the lake just across the street, bonfire with everything you need to make s'mores, watch the stars on the back deck, stream your favorite Netflix shows, bring your fur-babies and keep them safe in the fenced yard, relax on our luxury mattresses and enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning in the screened in porch. If you need anything, I'm a call away!

Great Rental

Being so close (less than a block) from Lake Shawnee was amazing. Great way to get in relaxing walks with our pup throughout the day. Easy access to the interstate. Older but super comfortable house with awesome shower water pressure. The lights on the screened in porch were a great touch. Will definitely book here again.

Quaint House, Great Location

Perfect little house for our trip to watch softball. Short walk to the Lake Shawnee Softball Fields. Trails around the lake were great for morning walks. Convenient location with restaurants and shopping nearby. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. Owner was readily available. We would definitely stay here again!

Pleasant Stay

I booked this VRBO for my brother and his family who was in town for a birthday party. The VRBO was clean, in a safe location and exactly how it was featured on the website. Check-in was easy and the property had all the amenities that was needed for a weekend or longer stay. Thanks for the nice stay!

Perfect Hidden Gem

Seth’s property was perfect for our stay in Topeka. The house was clean and super comfortable. The lake is just a quick walk away from the home nestled inside a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. 5 stars!

New Year’s Retreat

This little house by Lake Shawnee was a great launching off point for seeing family in the area, touring museums, and most of all resting from the Holidays. Walking the dog along the lake really helped me decompress from the Holidays and recenter and reset for the new year. The inside of the house was exceptionally clean. Backyard could benefit from a leaf raking. That said, I highly recommend this place.

Lake House

It was nice,it rained most of our stay, so we couldn’t take advantage of the lake and screened in porch. Outside number on the house would be nice. We stopped at the neighbors first.

Base camp for Unbound Gravro

This was our second year in a row staying at this place for the Unbound gravel race in Emporia. The bedrooms are spacious and comfy, but the screen porch is our favorite place to hang out. It’s located on a short culdesac close to the lake, so there’s no traffic buzzing by. It was a great base camp for our cycling adventure.

Great place to hang out!

Every year four of us get together and get away for the weekend. We needed a new place to go, and I discovered this lil gem. It's less than an hr away from KC, which is all the farther we want to go! It's a cute neighborhood. The house is cute, but the best part is the screened in porch, which we totally took advantage of. We decided this will be our new place for our GF getaway!!

Worked

Worked for us. Could use a long dresser in the MB to put your small stuff and personal bath items as there is not a vanity in the bathroom. Laundry area needs a good cleaning, dryer lint and spilled laundry soap that hasn’t been cleaned up. Didn’t cook but appeared to have most everything one might need to cook a basic meal.

Lake House

The lake house was nice with a great location. However the property and house need a thorough cleaning. We could not use the fire pit and years due to weeds and tall grass. The inside of the house definitely needs a good cleaning.

Nice place

Such a nice part of Topeka, a block away from Shawnee Lake and beautiful Ted Ensley garden. Seth came in 10 minutes when I was befuddled by the door lock on arrival, and explained it more completely than he had in check-in email. Further questions I put to him on later days went unanswered, even though I used the VRBO communication platform. I had to guess how to check out. The covered patio was a bonus; very quiet and nice.

Pleasant Topeka Stay

The house was as advertised and extremely. Seth was quick to respond to all messages and quickly addressed any issues. The inside of the house was exactly as advertised and the screened in porch was great. The fenced in back yard was really overgrown with weeds as was the fire pit. We had to dig out the fire pit just to make it functional. All in all the house met our needs but the outdoor space could use some TLC.
