Steps from the Sand

great property for family get-together - as described on VRBO: clean, comfy, plenty of room, AC worked great, access to all we wanted at Lake Mac for a June weekend. Owner was very easy to work with, and provided us with some nice "breaks" that made the experience AOK.

Met Our Needs

We had a quick stay at the property; only two nights. But we were happy with the accommodations. It was a convenient location for what we wanted to do at the lake. The host was very responsive to questions we had prior to our arrival and we enjoyed our time there. The grill and deck were essential for our enjoyment.

Relaxing weekend

This property was perfect for a nice quiet getaway. The property owner was very helpful especially since there were severe storms right before our stay. The house was beautiful and the deck was perfect to relax and enjoy the view.

Nice place on the lake.

Overall we were pleased w our stay. Host was very responsive and communicated well. We’ve stayed at places before at lake Mac that were more updated but this place worked well for our family. I’d say this is more of a rustic place and maybe even a hunters cabin feel. Some really cool wildlife mounts on the wall. I’d stay again.

A Perfect Family Getaway at Lake Mac

We had a delightful 4th of July weekend at this charming VRBO in Lewellen, NE. The home was clean, well-equipped, and beautifully situated on Lake Mac. The stunning lake views, fun outdoor activities, and clear, starry night skies created unforgettable moments for our family. An awesome and memorable retreat - highly recommended. Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Met minimum expectations

The house was clean. Plenty of beds. There is no internet which I should have read closer to find out. They normally have dish for TV, but an electrical storm knocked that out. Owner was kind enough to let us know and we brought some dvds for the kids as back up. The house is quite far from water...at least a couple miles walk. There is only one shower, the second bathroom is just a tub. In summer, upstairs is very bright early and stays pretty warm. We appreciated the washer/dryer and dish washer. The deck is really nice for sitting outside in the evening. Overall good stay.

Great getaway!

We really enjoyed our stay. Very relaxing and quiet! I would point out that there is more than a few steps to the sand because you have to go around a few houses to get there. Also, if the water is low, just be aware that there is no water near the cabin. This is obviously out of the control of anyone but worth noting. This did not affect our stay in any way though, it’s a short drive to other great swim/beach areas. We look forward to a return trip in the future! Would definitely recommend to others and would stay again!

Great Visit!

We had a great time at the property! The other reviews cover anything I would already say. The lake was low while we were visiting, so wish the house was closer to lake access, but that is no fault of the owner. We had a few rainy days while there, and the house was set up nice for us to play games and watch the lightning show at night from either the deck or inside the house. We found everything we needed during the stay! Thanks!

Location Great - Cleanliness and Amenities Not So Much

This was our second year doing an extended weekend with family. We selected this VRBO because it had more rooms and another bathroom which would accommodate our group of 6 adults and 2 kids. The kitchen is SMALL. If you want to open the fridge it blocks the little area where you wash dishes and/or cook. The fridge door does not open all the way and hits the counter making it extremely difficult to load/unload. The only shower is downstairs and the shower door is a piece of hard plastic that doesn't shut all the way; therefore water splashes out on a carpeted area. We had to find a fan to keep in the bathroom to dry out the area. There were sandburs in the carpet so we had to keep shoes on the entire time or risk getting them in our feet. There were dead insects and dust on the ledges of the windows. The grill didn't work. A lot of other little things. It was located right by the water (unfortunately, it was low this year but that's not the owner's fault) which was nice. We still had a good time but we were disappointed in this VRBO.

Recuperation Getaway

Overall we loved this place. It was great for our group. Everyone had a place to sleep and hang out. The furniture was comfortable and we liked the hunter's cabin feel. We never found the murphy bed they talked about in the description (but we didn't need it), the kitchen area is super tiny, but had everything for cooking. This may be TMI, but the commodes were very low to the ground, like what you would find in an elementary school, that was our only negative. We had some elderly people in our group that found those accommodations difficult.

Lake Mac

The property was as described. We had two families with eight total and had plenty of room. There were a few creepy crawlers but nothing out of the ordinary for a lake house. Upstairs microwave was out of order during our stay, but there was a backup in the basement. Lake water was low during our visit, but nothing anyone can do to control that. Great time and a solid place to stay.

Perfect little lake cabin

This is a cool little cabin with a hunting lodge feel. The front room was my favorite room. Lots of windows with a view of the lake. We saw 2 eagles flying over the large deck. There are 4 bedrooms. 2 in basement and 2 upstairs. The kids thought the basement was scary, so they all slept upstairs. Lots of beach towels and a comfy mattress in the master bedroom. Larry, the owner, could not have been more helpful. We have rented a lot of houses and Larry was the most helpful owner I have ever rented a house from. The boat rental locations were about 15 minutes away from the house. The kids loved the air hockey. It takes a while for the stove top to heat up. Don’t worry, it does work.. The washer and dryer were great for wet beach towels. Bring extra paper toilet paper and trash bags. However, there are lots of other supplies, like coffee, napkins, cleaning supplies, etc. I thought this was the perfect, quirky and comfortable cabin at a fair price. Don’t expect a shiny, brand new, sparkling home. It’s older and I think that added to the charm. Also, the kitchen is very narrow, so difficult to maneuver if you had a big rear end. Just keeping it real people. (Smile!) my family would definitely stay here again. Also, the air hockey was fun for the kids. Thanks for the great stay Larry.

There was enough comfy room for all 8 of us. It was a little more than steps from the water. It was a very good price for what it was. The lighting was dark throughout the whole cabin. The communication with the manager was very friendly and in a timely manner.

About the host

Hosted by Larry Gilleland

Host profile image
We are a family of five with three teenagers! We live in Lakewood, Colorado and for the past 19 summers, spent nearly every weekend at the lake house.
We have a Senior at The University of ALABAMA, a recent high school graduate, and a HS Junior, all of whom are involved in many team sports that keep us busy. Although we love the lake, scheduling has made it tough for us to get away as much as we would like. Which has prompted us to consider renting the house.

Why they chose this property

Our family has grown up spending nearly every summer weekend at the lake house. We are avid boaters, jet skiers, and fishermen.

We love the area and the 'Daytona Beach' like white sand beaches around nearly every foot of the lake.

What makes this property unique

Our house is situated in a quiet area steps from the sand, that offers enjoyable evenings and opportunity to host nightly beach bonfires! NO ON SITE FIRES.

The house is close to the Marina Landing restaurant, hotel, and bar, which allows you to skip preparation of dinner if you so choose.

If you forgot something, about a mile away, is a little convenience store that boasts, 'We're kinda like a little Wal Mart; if we don't have it, you probably don't need it!'

Enjoy beach access right in front of the house, or take a short drive to the Martin Bay area if you want to find the crowd! Lake Mac is a 'commuter' lake, due to fluctuating water levels, you may need to drive a short distance to a boat ramp or beautiful sandy beach.
