What guests think
At Swan Shores - newly remodeled lakefront home, guests consistently highlight the peaceful waterfront setting with beautiful wildlife and sunsets, alongside a quiet neighborhood that stays convenient to Wichita’s shopping, dining, and activities within just a short drive.
Interiors are repeatedly described as very clean, with comfortable beds and updated, thoughtfully furnished spaces. Many appreciate the well-stocked kitchen plus the deck or patio, grill, fire pit, large yard, and a dock that make relaxing and fishing easy. Host communication is generally responsive and check-in smooth, though there are isolated notes of a delayed key pass, occasional insects and some exterior areas needing cleaning, a small bathroom with limited counter space, and not enough mirrors. Expect a comfortable, well-equipped home suited to a restful, convenient stay.

We enjoyed our stay. We loved the lake. We fished right off the dock and had a great time. We enjoyed the fire pit and sitting outside on the patio watching the water. The swans are beautiful. The location is perfect. There are numerous places to eat and shop within minutes.

We were in town for a conference. The home was a great place for the family while I went to lectures. The kids loved the dock and watching the swans and ducks.

Swan Shores was perfect for our girls weekend. The house slept 3 of us comfortably and more than accommodated all 5 of us during our daytime activities. The scenery is beautiful and quiet. Anything we needed was a 5 minute drive away, but we didn't leave the house much, having so much fun on the water. We appreciated the firepit and all the firewood that was provided. Had a blast with "campfire movie night" by the lake! Beds are super comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to grill and enjoy dinners on the patio. Will definitely be visiting again soon!

What a treat it was staying here! Kitchen is stocked with essentials and more! We appreciated the little snacks provided, too. Home was very clean abd comfortable. The beds are blue pillow mattresses and pillows which we have never tried before. The pillows are heavy, unlike any pillow we've ever seen, but they are comfortable. The mattresses are high, might be some effort for shorter or older folks getting in the bed. The mattresses pretty much hold you in place for the night. All in all, it was an experience! We did sleep well though. There's an ice maker in the fridge door which we also appreciated. The back yard is pretty and right on the private lake. There is a deck and gas grill out back, as well. Wewill definitely be coming back for another stay!

This was such a wonderful weekend getaway for some girl time with my daughter and new daughter in law. From check-in to check-out all went smoothly communicating with our host. The beds were so comfy, the kitchen very well supplied, and the back yard with the big trees and a beautiful small lake with a dock could not be better. We spent an entire afternoon together on that dock. It was hard to believe we were in the middle of Wichita so close to great shopping and restaurants. We had a fabulous time and will definitely be returning!

This property was absolutely perfect for our family of four (two adults and two children under 12). The home was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully appointed—the kitchen was stocked with everything needed to cook family meals with ease (although we didn't do any cooking, we easily could have). The lake view and backyard are simply stunning, offering a peaceful and private place to relax at the end of the day. We’ve stayed here before, and it’s just as wonderful the second time around.

Stayed three nights visiting friends. Found everything we needed in the kitchen and bathroom. There were a lot of crickets and spiders in the house. The deck and front porch and windows could you use cleaning. It would have been nice to have chairs on the front porch. The neighborhood was quiet with stores and restaurants close by!

The rental was a lovely setting on the lake. We enjoyed watching the swans, turtles and listening to the many birds visiting the surrounding trees. The property manager was very prompt to respond to inquiries. The place was well stocked to rescue a traveler who has forgotten an essential item. It was very clean and comfortable. Thank you for a lovely stay!

The beds were great with soft sheets, comfortable mattress and tons of pillows. The kitchen had everything we needed including a table to view the lake while eating. There was a even a desk that was perfect for my husband's computer. We will definitely be back!

My husband and I stayed in Wichita for a couple days. We thought we would try something different than the standard hotel. And boy are we glad with did with this property! The house on the lake is so special. You forget you are in the city! We had a wonderful time fishing and enjoyed the backyard to the lake. From the house you have wonderful views of the lake. The house is nice, updated and clean! We really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back with our kids someday.

We loved it! It was clean and uncluttered and the neighborhood was quiet. We had everything we needed and it was within driving distance of activities, shopping and dining. The lake view was awesome and we enjoyed watching the ducks and a Blue Heron that came by. One suggestion would be to add a mirror in each of the bedrooms, or one in the hallway. There was only 1 mirror in the bathroom for the whole house, which made it a little tougher for us all to get ready. Thank you!!!!

We did sleep well though. There's an ice maker in the fridge door which we also appreciated. The back yard is pretty and right on the private lake. There is a deck and gas grill out back, as well. Wewill definitely be coming back for another stay!

This house was absolutely perfect for our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children, ages 10 and 8). We were visiting Wichita to see my husband's family, so we did not spend a ton of time at the house, but the property was perfect for what we needed it for. It was very clean, had extra towels and linens, and plenty of shampoo and conditioner. The kitchen was well appointed for the very little we used it for (making coffee in the mornings). We did not do any extensive cooking, but after a quick look around, it seemed the kitchen had the basic necessities. There is a dining table for 4 and a sitting area, tv room, and desk, which was great for me because I had to get some work done while I was there. The property itself was beautiful! The backyard was large with a lovely large tree and lots of room to run around on the grass. My kids loved fishing off the dock with their grandfather. Most importantly (to me, anyways), the beds and pillow were very comfortable. I slept great! We would absolutely stay here again.

This charming house has been thoughtfully designed and decorated to make it both comfortable and attractive. I don't think the photos on the website do it justice. The furniture is of good quality and size, but does not crowd the rooms. I especially appreciated that the HDTV had a Samsung sound bar and a 4K Ultra HD player for the DVDs I brought with me. The property has lovely landscaping that includes masses of bearded iris that were in full bloom, as was the locust tree in the back yard. It was so serene to sit on the floating dock and watch the various waterfowl and wild birds (including several wild turkeys) putter around. My only complaint is the bathroom is a bit small for my toiletries and there was little counter space, but the owners did a great job of using the space they had efficiently. The tile in the shower as well as the kitchen was a lovely touch that helps make this house of higher quality than similar rental property. The same can be said for the beautiful glass half moon window in the front door, the art glass pendant lights over the dining table, the contemporary light fixture in the kitchen, and the exceptionally cushy floor mat in front of the kitchen sink (I want one!) For being in the country, the house is amazingly clean. Whenever I had questions, Kevin was immediately available and very helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

My only complaint is the bathroom is a bit small for my toiletries and there was little counter space, but the owners did a great job of using the space they had efficiently. The tile in the shower as well as the kitchen was a lovely touch that helps make this house of higher quality than similar rental property. The same can be said for the beautiful glass half moon window in the front door, the art glass pendant lights over the dining table, the contemporary light fixture in the kitchen, and the exceptionally cushy floor mat in front of the kitchen sink (I want one!) For being in the country, the house is amazingly clean. Whenever I had questions, Kevin was immediately available and very helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

Location
Peaceful, quiet neighborhood with easy access to shopping, restaurants, and activities around Wichita; several note it feels secluded by the lake despite being in the city.

We enjoyed our stay. We loved the lake. We fished right off the dock and had a great time. We enjoyed the fire pit and sitting outside on the patio watching the water. The swans are beautiful. The location is perfect. There are numerous places to eat and shop within minutes.

The cottage is exactly as described. I was traveling with my 2 senior parents. The space was easily accessible, clean and a terrific location. We would stay again.

My husband and I stayed in Wichita for a couple days. We thought we would try something different than the standard hotel. And boy are we glad with did with this property! The house on the lake is so special. You forget you are in the city! We had a wonderful time fishing and enjoyed the backyard to the lake. From the house you have wonderful views of the lake. The house is nice, updated and clean! We really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back with our kids someday.

We loved it! It was clean and uncluttered and the neighborhood was quiet. We had everything we needed and it was within driving distance of activities, shopping and dining. The lake view was awesome and we enjoyed watching the ducks and a Blue Heron that came by. One suggestion would be to add a mirror in each of the bedrooms, or one in the hallway. There was only 1 mirror in the bathroom for the whole house, which made it a little tougher for us all to get ready. Thank you!!!!

This was such a wonderful weekend getaway for some girl time with my daughter and new daughter in law. From check-in to check-out all went smoothly communicating with our host. The beds were so comfy, the kitchen very well supplied, and the back yard with the big trees and a beautiful small lake with a dock could not be better. We spent an entire afternoon together on that dock. It was hard to believe we were in the middle of Wichita so close to great shopping and restaurants. We had a fabulous time and will definitely be returning!

This property was absolutely perfect for our family of four (two adults and two children under 12). The home was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully appointed—the kitchen was stocked with everything needed to cook family meals with ease (although we didn't do any cooking, we easily could have). The lake view and backyard are simply stunning, offering a peaceful and private place to relax at the end of the day. We’ve stayed here before, and it’s just as wonderful the second time around.

The rental was a lovely setting on the lake. We enjoyed watching the swans, turtles and listening to the many birds visiting the surrounding trees. The property manager was very prompt to respond to inquiries. The place was well stocked to rescue a traveler who has forgotten an essential item. It was very clean and comfortable. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Swan Shores was perfect for our girls weekend. The house slept 3 of us comfortably and more than accommodated all 5 of us during our daytime activities. The scenery is beautiful and quiet. Anything we needed was a 5 minute drive away, but we didn't leave the house much, having so much fun on the water. We appreciated the firepit and all the firewood that was provided. Had a blast with "campfire movie night" by the lake! Beds are super comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to grill and enjoy dinners on the patio. Will definitely be visiting again soon!

What a treat it was staying here! Kitchen is stocked with essentials and more! We appreciated the little snacks provided, too. Home was very clean abd comfortable. The beds are blue pillow mattresses and pillows which we have never tried before. The pillows are heavy, unlike any pillow we've ever seen, but they are comfortable. The mattresses are high, might be some effort for shorter or older folks getting in the bed. The mattresses pretty much hold you in place for the night. All in all, it was an experience! We did sleep well though. There's an ice maker in the fridge door which we also appreciated. The back yard is pretty and right on the private lake. There is a deck and gas grill out back, as well. Wewill definitely be coming back for another stay!

This house was absolutely perfect for our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children, ages 10 and 8). We were visiting Wichita to see my husband's family, so we did not spend a ton of time at the house, but the property was perfect for what we needed it for. It was very clean, had extra towels and linens, and plenty of shampoo and conditioner. The kitchen was well appointed for the very little we used it for (making coffee in the mornings). We did not do any extensive cooking, but after a quick look around, it seemed the kitchen had the basic necessities. There is a dining table for 4 and a sitting area, tv room, and desk, which was great for me because I had to get some work done while I was there. The property itself was beautiful! The backyard was large with a lovely large tree and lots of room to run around on the grass. My kids loved fishing off the dock with their grandfather. Most importantly (to me, anyways), the beds and pillow were very comfortable. I slept great! We would absolutely stay here again.

Such a beautiful place inside and outside. The furniture and appliances are top notch. There was everything we needed to make all of our meals there. Our favorite part was hanging out outside. Fishing off of the dock was awesome and drinking our morning coffee watching the swans was very relaxing. We will definitely try to stay here again.

This beautiful lake house was everything we hoped for. Extremely clean and well furnished with everything we needed. We caught at least 20 fish and enjoyed the wildlife. We saw a deer across the lake, water snakes, muskrats, owls, huge blue herons, cardinals, and the enchanting fireflies at night. We loved sitting out on the deck with bbq and table to enjoy looking out at the lake and enjoying the peace and quiet. The location was nice too. We love trying craft beer at different breweries so we were only 10-15 minutes from most of them in downtown along with fun boutiques to explore. We highly recommend making memories at this beautiful home.

Beautiful property for our 3 night stay. There were two of us. We loved the deck. Fire flies galore and an owl that hung out for all three evenings. Wonderful to watch. Bring a portable mirror and there is a desk that can serve as a vanity to help with getting ready since there is only one bathroom. Kitchen was well stocked. We had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable. Plenty of towels and bedding. Bring your own pillow unless you are a fan of the heavy purple pillow. Would definitely stay again.

This home was the cleanest rental we’ve ever had, which I very much appreciate! The host was very accommodating making sure we had fishing poles to enjoy the lake. The home is well stocked with anything you would need to enjoy your stay and the mattresses are very comfortable, but I suggest bringing your own pillow if you are particular about them. The kitchen is great. We made most of our meals at home and all the pots/pans/utensils I needed were provided. The home feels much larger than it looks on the listing due to the high ceilings. It’s close to shopping/entertainment despite being tucked away on the lake which made grabbing groceries easy. The A/C works great. We enjoyed our stay and will stay here again if it’s available when we come though Wichita.
