Lake Panorama Studio

Great location on Lake Panorama, near the Lake Panorama National Golf Course. Only blocks away from the club house and swimming pool. This is a wonderful place to get away from the city and enjoy a walk along the beach, a quick dip in the lake, or a couple rounds of golf.
There are local establishments like The Penoach Vineyard or The Port with evening dinning and musical events.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a sofa bed, a fenced private yard, and a coffee maker.

Very clean, quaint, well supplied and furnished studio. Perfect touch of Fall decor made for a homey stay. We rode the Raccoon River and High Trestle bike trails and they were able to provide a secure spot for our e-bikes. If you like to golf, looked like a nice 27 hole course. Would highly recommend and would stay again. Thanks Nate, Tim, and families.

It is nicer, bigger, and brighter than the pictures. It was one of the cleanest VRBOs I’ve stayed in. Thank you for being so clean. Lots of coffee pods and multiple bottles of water available for guests. Walking distance to the golf course restaurant. Only constructive feedback is to get better pillows; these pillows were too flat. Great place and would definitely stay here again.

Great little place to stay.

My husband and I wanted to get away for a few days and found this place. It was perfect. We had hoped to do a little fishing but ran into some controversy. Tim got this clarified for us and got to fish in certain areas and caught some nice keeper catfish to. Tim the owner was very quick into getting back to us, I would recommend this place for a nice little get away.

I would have given this area 5 stars all the way around, but there were literally two things that I found would brother others that didn’t bother me. This part is more for the property owners to be aware of. One was the air conditioner. I think that it is probably on the older side and needs worked on. We had to keep it on low and it made some squeaking noises when it was on. That kind of noise puts me to sleep, but others may find it annoying. #2 was the wash clothes in the kitchen were sour smelling. Which I know happens some times. It’s not a big deal, but I may be to others. As far as the cleanliness of the property and the overall stay I would give it 10 stars if I could. I loved this place! It felt like a home away from home instead of staying in an old stale hotel room. Would I stay at this location again? Absolutely!

Daughter 23rd birthday

Daughter attends Creighton University. Decided to meet here for a relaxing weekend at the Lake. Rode some of the raccoon River valley trail on Friday prior to arrival. Spent Saturday at the beach and had dinner at the Port and enjoyed live entertainment. A great weekend. Thanks for the great place to stay.

Kayak and bicycle trip

Definitely a setting for golfers next to the golf course but it was much nicer than a hotel room and we could cook our own meals. It also was pet friendly. We enjoyed biking the raccoon river trail, kayaking and swimming in lake Panorama. The river was to low for kayaking due to drought. Note the lake is private but you have access when you rent the studio. The sunsets were gorgeous!
