About this property

Aquarius House - Lake Shawnee, 15+, Family & Teams

Welcome to Aquarius House, a spacious Lake Shawnee-area home built for families, teams, tournament weekends, reunions, and large-group stays.

Located in quiet Aquarian Acres just north of Lake Shawnee, this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home gives guests the space and flexibility hotels simply cannot offer: private bedrooms, multiple gathering areas, a full kitchen, laundry, outdoor living, a basement game room, and excellent parking.

Whether you are in Topeka for a youth sports tournament, family gathering, wedding weekend, work trip, or multi-family stay, Aquarius House is designed to keep everyone comfortable, organized, and close to the action.

The main level includes three private bedrooms, with one king bedroom and two queen bedrooms. It also includes two full bathrooms, one half bathroom, a comfortable living room, a full dine-in kitchen with table and barstool seating, a separate dining room, laundry, and access to an elevated deck overlooking a private wooded area. Guests also have access to a full two-car garage for secure parking, along with additional off-street parking.

The basement is set up as a large group hangout and sleeping area. It includes multiple couches, a pool table/ping-pong table, a stand-up multigame arcade with 60+ games, TV space, and a separate TV area with a futon. The basement also includes two full bedrooms with a total of 6 twin beds and 3 full beds, plus a full bathroom, making it a great setup for kids, teams, or larger family groups.

The outdoor space includes a two-level deck facing the wooded backyard area, deck string lights, and a grill. It is a great spot for morning coffee, evening grilling, or relaxing after games, lake time, or family activities.

Aquarius House is especially convenient for guests visiting Lake Shawnee, sports complexes, parks, trails, pickleball courts, golf, Adventure Cove, and downtown Topeka. The location works well for tournament weekends because guests can stay near the lake and sports facilities without giving up space, parking, or comfort.

This home is a great fit for:

Youth sports teams
Tournament families
Family reunions
Wedding guests
Multi-family stays
Work groups
Lake Shawnee visitors
Longer stays in Topeka
Families who want more space than a hotel

Aquarius House is located in a quiet residential neighborhood and is designed for families, teams, and responsible groups. It is not a party house. Guests are expected to respect the neighbors, follow quiet hours, and enjoy the home as a clean, comfortable place to stay, gather, and relax.

If you are looking for a large, well-located home near Lake Shawnee with space for adults, kids, teams, and extended family, Aquarius House is a great home base for your Topeka stay.

The house was even more beautiful in person and had more sleeping spots than we needed, even for a group of 18! It was spotless, located in a nice area, and had a good energy about it, we especially loved the wooded area of the back deck. I would highly recommend this VRBO to anyone.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
My wife and I are local Topeka hosts, and Aquarius House is part of our effort to create comfortable, well-run homes for families, teams, and groups visiting the area.

We enjoy hosting because we know how hard it can be to travel with kids, extended family, sports teams, or a larger group. Hotels can be expensive, crowded, and inconvenient. Our goal is to give guests a clean, spacious home where everyone can spread out, cook meals, do laundry, relax between activities, and enjoy their time together.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because of its location near Lake Shawnee. Aquarian Acres is quiet and residential, but still close to parks, trails, sports facilities, pickleball courts, golf, lake activities, and easy access around Topeka. It is a great area for families and tournament travelers.

What makes this property unique

What makes Aquarius House unique is the amount of space and flexibility it offers. The main level gives adults private bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, dining, laundry, and deck access. The basement gives kids, teammates, or larger groups their own hangout space with bunk rooms, couches, TVs, a pool table/ping-pong table, and a stand-up multigame arcade with 60+ games. Add in the two-level deck, wooded backyard view, grill, garage, carport, and extra parking, and the home works especially well for guests who need more than a standard hotel room.
