The house is amazing and couldn't ask for a better place to stay. The convenience of the boat ramp right next to the house is a major perk. We had issues with our boat trailer this trip so needed to stay at the house later than check out time and Julie was so accommodating. So nice to let us stay until the trailer was fixed. This is our second time renting this home and we'll definitely be back.

Great house & location!

We loved this house - fit us all perfectly (10 people). We loved the location as well - further out from Osage Beach area but the cove was quiet and calm! Frog mat and other toys were great! Communication with host was fast and seamless. We will absolutely be back.

Spring Getaway

This was a nicely decorated lake home. We enjoyed sitting on the patio and the window bar seating to watch the wildlife. Saw eagles every day. The dock was great. This was off season, so several neighbors were making improvements and creating some construction noise.

Outdoor area was amazing, great location!

We had such a great time during Memorial Day weekend, thanks Julie! The dock and outdoor area was perfect, great space and it was very peaceful. The location was also really nice, it didn’t feel too crowded but could also get to restaurants and the grocery story easy. The layout of the living room was perfect, our group hung out together all day and we couldn’t have asked for much more. Julie was also very nice and responsive, and even gave us some local restaurant recommendations which we really appreciated. Would absolutely recommend this place!

Fun Lake House

The dock with the lily pad, paddle board, and kayaks were excellent! The dock was a perfect fit for the two jet skis we brought. No lake weeds and very easy to bring in and out into the cove. The house was clean and the property owner was very helpful and quick to respond. Absolutely will be returning next year.

Great place!

We really liked the location of the property and the space was great for our group of 7. Was super clean and host responded VERY quickly when we reached out. The dock was great for hanging out and swimming off of and we loved having access to the kayaks, SUP, and lily pad. While we enjoyed having minimal stairs, the ramp down to the water was a little steep for my dad in his 70s (no railing) and the ladder to get out of the water onto the dock was a bit challenging. Not anything that ruined our time but just something to be mindful of if visiting with older folks or people with mobility issues. We had a great time here and would def recommend!

Lovely, Well Maintained Lake Home

Nice dock and lake toys, pleasant kitchen and porch, comfortable living room, and responsive hosts made for a nice weekend get away. Perhaps it was just the Saturday we were there, but there were rowdy, not family friendly, partiers in the cove making the location undesirable that afternoon. Friday and Sunday were fine. And while the place was well maintained, let’s just say some of the neighboring places are “up and coming,” as in sketchy. However, the place itself deserves 5 stars.

Beautiful house on a fun lake

Needing a place to unwind, get cozy with family, and just enjoy the lake life? Then this is the place for you! Our family of six, two adults, and four teenagers had a wonderfully relaxing time in this beautifully remodeled lake house on a fairly quiet part of the Lake of the Ozarks. The house was a little cozier than what the pictures looked like but that was all part of the relaxing and comforting charm this place oozes. We spent hours sitting on the chairs on the dock watching the lake wildlife and reading books. The kayaks, paddleboard, and lily pad were great amenities for some fun time on the lake and exploring the waterfront. On rainy days we loved the family room and couch and just spending time playing games and watching movies. We cooked all our meals there and had pretty much everything we needed. The house was our destination and it provided everything we needed for days of relaxation and family time. Absolutely would stay here again!

Extended Family Vacation

This house worked perfect for 3 couples and 6 kids. The kids were all in one room but all had their own bunk and each couple had a private room. Everything was very clean and as advertised. There is a boat slip to use that has a lift installed but the lift is t available for use. The only issue with this set up is there are metal parts of the lift that could damage a floating boat. We covered the areas of concern with some foam noodles we brought and it protected the boat great. We left them installed but not sure if the owner will keep them on. Owner was very prompt with communication. The only negative from the whole trip was loading garbage in our cars but this may be unavoidable if there is truly no service available. Overall a great property and would revisit in the future.

Fantastic Home

Home was perfect for our stay. Very clean and had everything we needed while we were there. We had our fishing boats with us and the dock was very useful. With assistance from a neighbor we were even able to use the ramp right next to the property to put our boats in. Couldn't have found a better place to stay. The outdoor area was superb and made for great evenings sitting around relaxing after a day of fishing. I hate to give a fantastic review because it may become too popular and it may be booked the next time we try to reserve LOL. The only thing that could have been better was the location of the full baths. With all of the bedrooms being upstairs we had to share one full bath up there. The other full bath is downstairs next to the kitchen off the dining room. There were 4 adults there so we managed but it would have been nice to not have to go downstairs for the 2nd full bath. Seriously though it was perfect. Check it out. You will not be disappointed.

Just the place we needed

We ended up booking this place last minute because our original place fell through. I was a little worried because it was a new listing with no reviews at the time we booked, but it was great! Very clean, well equipped, plenty of space inside and out. Perfect cove location. Our kids (7-18 years) had hours of fun with the lily pad, kayaks, paddle board and fishing from the dock. We cooked dinner each night and there was plenty of service for 9 people. Great place!
