About this property

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!

This location is quiet and a great place to stay. This is our 2nd time staying here and this is the first place I look for to see if available when coming to Topeka Ks. Love the screened in porch while drinking my morning coffee.

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!

Nice location, nice inside

The inside of this rental is just as it's shown. Bright and clean, not too big but big enough for two. The outside needs some work such as the lawn needs cut and trimmed and porches needed cleaned. Otherwise a nice place to rent.

Perfect for us

The location was perfect for being really close to the lake. We felt safe and tucked away. Loved the screen room to sit out and listen to the rain. Hosts came out to tend to a few things like the screen door and the pin pad battery

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.

About the host

Hosted by Seth Froese

Host profile image
My wife and I grew up and work in the Topeka area. We have a newborn and two fur-babies that keep us on our toes. During pregnancy, we decided we wanted to try a new adventure together. With my background in real estate and her creative ability to make something come to life, we turned a house into an experience!

Why they chose this property

We live just down the road from this property. But it’s not just the convenience that sold us, it’s the opportunity for guests. We absolutely love what Lake Shawnee has offered us in the time we’ve lived here. From the walking trails, to the tennis courts, 4th of July fireworks show, new bark park, venues we’ve used for All of our events and more! And the fact that it’s right across the street is incredible.

We always had family come in town during our wedding functions and there was absolutely NO WHERE to stay on the SE side of town, so we saw a need and wanted to help fix it.
