Gilbert Family Lake House is a summer house owned by the Gilbert Family at Dunham Lake, located some distance away from Mystic Falls. The Gilberts spent many vacations there, and their friends visited and stayed with them occasionally (such as Tyler Lockwood, who knew of the house and was familiar with how to get there).
Elena and Stefan go to the lake house in Crying Wolf in order to temporarily escape their numerous crises and enjoy a romantic getaway.
By chance, Elena and Stefan discovered a secret storage-room, stocked with various weapons intended to be used against vampires. All of it was apparently kept there by Elena's father, Grayson Gilbert. Also hidden there were additional volumes of Johnathan Gilbert's journals. Since Grayson's brother, John Gilbert, had not moved the contents -- especially the journals -- to a more secure location, he may not have even known of the hiding place and that the items were being stored in the vacation home.
Tyler takes Brady to the lake house during the same time and Stefan kills Brady by removing his heart.

Vampires have been invited
Only four vampires have been invited into the house;
I think that detouring your vampire killing instinct through a Vampire is not going to work...
You should find another focus for your fuzzy feelings, and I know the perfect one!
I do have fuzzy warm feelings for Bonnie! And strangely, my compulsion to kill vampires does not compel me to kill Damon...
Jamie? What Jamie? He's just like a brother to me... Jeremy on the other hand... all those Hunter muscles...
So, you are sired to the blue eyed monster...
There is really no cure for loving too much.
Incidentally, I lost my wife and child and I am looking for a way to bring them back from the dead.
Remind me why I haven't killed you yet.
So, there is this rock I found...
So you want us to believe this rock came from the same place where the hunter's tattoo will lead us, and it's the same place where we will find the cure for vampirism and the recipe for immortality.... all in one package?
Pretty much yes to all of the above.
and why do we need to make Jeremy keep killing vampires?
The tattoo reveals a spell to open the tomb, or something like this...
So the cure to immortality is buried with the first immortal?
YES! It's very simple and it makes total sense!
No, it doesn't? And how did you come by this information? And what is in it for you?
I just want to raise my wife and kids from the dead. I just might do Hayley's parents if I get around to it...
Not sure it's a good idea...
Made worst by the fact that we have to turn Jeremy into a vampire killing machine.
What if I say my interest is academic and I just want to shake hands with the oldest immortal?
Still not buying it.
Fix it! That is all Shane replies
I think Professor Shady Pants can really help Jeremy!
