Vacation rentals with lake access in Platte River

Carol was very responsive and was able to accommodate us on short notice while even allowing an early check in. Very clean space!

My guys stayed here during a work trip and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The space was quiet, clean, and super comfortable—perfect for unwinding after a long day. Bradley was responsive which made communication easy. Highly recommend for business travelers or anyone looking for a smooth, stress-free stay.

We had a wonderful stay over Christmas! The Lakehouse is spacious and welcoming. Ericka is a gracious and accommodating host. Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic three-night stay at Michaela’s home while in town for the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting. The location was ideal—just a quick 10-minute drive to the CHI Health Convention Center—yet it felt like a peaceful escape tucked away on Carter Lake, far from the hustle and bustle of downtown Omaha. Michaela is a top-notch host: responsive, thoughtful, and full of great recommendations for restaurants and local tips. The house itself is incredibly well-equipped and thoughtfully stocked—everything from a charging station with every type of cord imaginable to a reverse osmosis water filter and even a medicine cabinet with handy over-the-counter items (which we thankfully didn’t need, but it was so nice knowing they were there!). The home has a warm, charming personality, and the smart layout made the most of the space. It was a perfect retreat after long days at the conference. We’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Omaha!

This is, hands down, the best Airbnb we have ever stayed in! So family friendly and small child friendly. Sarah has thought of everything! So many great and unique amenities can be found here! 5 jeeps, weight/size labeled lifejackets, toys, bedtime books, spices, Tupperware, S’mores kit, extra toothbrushes and floss, hair ties, wireless speaker and much much more! The property is a great mix of beach and forest. It is nice & private and conveniently located off of the highway. The kayaks and paddle boats were so fun to take out and the kids had a blast on the lily pad and slide. The game room was so fun for both the kids and adults and made for a good indoor activity on our rainy day. The beds were comfortable, towels and beach towels for days! The washer and dryer are industrial size making it so nice to go home with clean clothes. The kitchen & closets have labeled cabinets, drawers, and baskets making it so easy to find anything. We were amazed! Wish I could give it 10 stars!

Scott’s place is an absolute hidden gem on Carter Lake! We stayed here for a family wedding and couldn’t have asked for a better home base. The house was spotless, spacious, and had everything we needed — from board games to a fully stocked kitchen to three pristine full bathrooms (a huge help with three men in the wedding party!). The backyard was perfect for making memories: bonfires, fishing, and plenty of space for the kids to run around and play soccer. It easily accommodated our three families, with plenty of room to gather, relax, and stay up late talking and connecting. Everything in the home feels brand new, and it’s clear that a lot of care went into making it welcoming and comfortable. Our only regret is that we didn’t have more downtime to enjoy all the house had to offer. We’ve all agreed — this is officially our new go-to spot whenever we’re back in Council Bluffs for future family events! Thank you, Scott, for such a wonderful stay!

This home was perfect for our annual multigenerational family vacation. We had eight adults and four children ranging in age from 76 years to 7 months, and the home accommodated all of us comfortably. It served as an ideal home base for exploring Omaha—everything we wanted to do was within about a 20-minute drive. The house is exceptionally well-equipped for families with young children. The spacious closets easily fit pack-and-plays, which was a huge plus since we have three little ones still in cribs. The master bedrooms are large enough to fit an entire family of four, allowing each child to have a private, quiet sleeping area. The Yellow Submarine room was a huge hit with our granddaughter—she absolutely loved it! It added a whimsical, fun touch that made her stay even more special. The private beach and lake were phenomenal. We loved playing sand volleyball and made good use of the kayaks and grill provided—it was a highlight of our stay. Rachel, the host, was extremely respon

amazing place, Johnson Lake is so pretty!
