This place was amazing. When we come back we will stay here!! I have never stayed in a place where we didn’t run out of things. It was so nice not to have to run to store for more necessities. The house was amazing great for family get togethers. Plenty of room for everyone. We had 13 people and everyone had a bed. Looks exactly like the pictures.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for sharing such beautiful photos of your stay! Seeing families making memories at Cove Retreat is one of the greatest rewards of hosting. We love hearing that everyone had the best time and truly enjoyed their trip. It means so much to us because our goal is for guests to be able to relax and focus on their families and friends without having to worry about running out for supplies or needing anything when they walk in the door. We always say we stock it like family is coming—bring your food, clothes, and your loved ones, and we’ll have the rest ready so you can immediately start your vacation. It was such a pleasure communicating with you throughout your trip, and we’re thrilled to hear the house was everything you hoped it would be. We work hard to keep the home well-stocked so our guests can spend less time running to the store and more time enjoying their vacation together, so your comments truly made our day. We’re also so happy that everyone in your group had plenty of space to relax and that the home was a perfect fit for your family gathering. Thank you for taking such great care of Cove Retreat. We would be honored to welcome you back whenever your travels bring you to the Lake of the Ozarks again!

The host was extremely inviting. The home was beautiful with lots of room for everyone inside and out. Extremely clean, lots of amenities provided and everything you could need in the kitchen, and grills outside. Absolutely beautiful views, every deck has a fire table and tons of seating, including the large dock, the firepit outside and the outside (covered) bar. HIGHLY recommend and we will definitely be booking this again!!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It means so much to us that you took the time to share your experiences! We truly enjoyed getting to know you and communicating with you throughout your stay. Building those connections with our guests is one of our favorite parts of hosting, and we’re so happy your time at Cove Retreat was everything you hoped it would be. It also means a great deal to hear that you found the home clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. We work hard to create a place where families and friends can simply arrive, unpack, and start making memories together. From the stocked kitchen and outdoor gathering spaces to the fire tables, dock, covered bar, and multiple decks, our goal is to provide everything you need so your focus can be on enjoying time together. Your beautiful photo of the fire table with your morning coffee perfectly captured what we hope every guest experiences at Cove Retreat—a peaceful place to slow down, relax, and simply enjoy the moment. It was one of our favorite photos! Thank you again for your kind recommendation and for taking such wonderful care of our home. We’d love to welcome you back for another relaxing getaway at the lake!

Perfect place for our annual lake stay. We had 5 families with small and adult kids all in one house and had plenty of room for fun, and also some privacy if we needed it! Big dock with everything we needed to hang out from sun up to sun down! The hosts had the best stocked cabinets we've ever had, and they were very responsive and helpful through the whole process and even during our stay :) This is the first time on the lake in over 20 years that none of us felt the need to leave to go have fun! We would definitely stay again, and hopefully soon!

Family vacation

Was a great location, convenient to grocery store, restaurants, activities. Home had everything we needed for kids. Fishing, kayaks, paddle board, fire pit where we made s’mores every night, game room w/ ping pong & pool table, numerous TVs. 36 steps down to dock allowed unexpected exercise☺️ Plenty of beds & bathrooms for big group.

House was in a quiet cove. It had everything to keep the renters happy. Honestly the best stocked kitchen, with great appliances that worked. We are major foodies who love to cook and we had all we needed. So appreciative to have all amenities included. That is such a nice touch and separates these owners from other VRBO’s.We had a wonderful time and no one cared that we didn’t rent a boat! And we never left the house!As warned in the memo before checkin in the gravel road has some speed humps that are hard to see. Driveway is kinda steep but we had plenty of room between driveway and along the road for our 4 cars.Main floor is bedrooms, downstairs is kitchen and living areas, laundry and another bedroom. Basement stairs are steep but there’s a warning. Lots of deck space. Had a great time and highly recommend.Thanks Jill and Randy for a great vacation! 10/10!!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! It truly means a lot to us. One of our favorite parts of hosting your family was all of the wonderful communication we shared before and during your stay. We love getting to know our guests and helping make their vacation as enjoyable and stress-free as possible, so it was a pleasure connecting with you throughout the process. It was especially heartwarming to know that Cove Retreat could be a place where your family could simply slow down, spend quality time together, enjoy great meals, laugh, relax, and make memories that will last for years to come. Those are exactly the moments we hope every guest experiences when they stay with us. We’re especially honored that, as fellow food lovers, you enjoyed the kitchen and found it stocked with everything you needed. We also love hearing that you were able to enjoy all the amenities and never felt like you had to leave the house to have an amazing vacation. Thank you as well for mentioning the gravel road, speed humps, and driveway. We try to provide those details ahead of time so guests know exactly what to expect. Thank you again for choosing Cove Retreat and for taking such wonderful care of our home. It was truly a pleasure hosting your family, and we hope to welcome you again for another lake getaway in the future!
