Perfect Getaway
We rented the house as a surprise to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday. We had 2 families with teens and young adults and there was plenty of room for everyone. The house is better than advertised and Charlene's extra effort and personal touches made the weekend so memorable. We will definitely be returning!

Spacious and comfortable
So many beds! If you need a place for a large family/multi-family trip this house is for you. If you rent the extra bunk room in the basement everyone can have a choice of a bed and 3 different tv seating areas throughout the house. Just as many seating choices outside with all the decks and docks. Plenty of room in the kitchen and dining area too. The house was clean and well decorated. Convenient washer/dryer and 3 car garage. It was easy to feel at home during our stay at the lake!

The hosts have thought of every little detail and were so easy to communicate with. This is such a lovely home and emulated that atmosphere.

Beautiful Lakehouse!
My family and I traveled to Kansas for my Grandson's high school and college graduations. We stayed at Charlene's beautiful lake house! We loved all the personal touches! She had a welcome scroll with all the last names of the families that were with us. There was also a map of the US with little strips of paper with the towns of our state of where we were coming from. The coffee and smores bars were wonderful! It has everything you need! Charlene was super easy to communicate with and very attentive to our needs. I could go on and on but book this lake house for yourselves and see for yourselves how wonderful it is! Thank you Charlene for making our trip so amazing!

Lakeview Retreat is a cozy and very well appointed property that exceeded the expectations of our extended family. There was plenty of room to spend time together. The surrounding Flint Hills are beautiful. We enjoyed a lovely Thanksgiving weekend this time and we hope to rent again during the summer when we can use the lake and beautiful deck.

Perfect Lake Get-Away!
Our family weekend was fabulous with this spacious, inviting & well-stocked home! We could relax together or spread out - in the lake, out for a walk or bike ride or just curled up in the window seat! The long kitchen table was great for family meals flavored with love & laughter! We'll be back! And only 2 hrs from Wichita or Kansas City!

Wonderful family vacation!
This property was perfect for our family vacation! The home was inviting and comfortable with plenty of space. Kitchen was well-stocked and every room was super clean. We were blessed with perfect weather all week, so the kayaks, lily pad and diving board were big hits! The children also enjoyed the rope swing near the dam. Fishing was fantastic! If time permits, a trip to the Flint Hills Discovery Center in Manhattan is so worth it. Everything was great, the hosts are amazing and we look forward to going back next year!
