Wonderful getaway

My brother's family and my family rented this to visit home. The house was wonderful, and it was a great quiet place to get away for us all to hang out. Lisa was absolutely wonderful!

A truly wonderful place to stay

We had a wonderful time staying at this home for the weekend. They have really thought of everything: hot tub, pool with lots of pool toys, the dock & pontoon on the lake, and everything else you’ll need. They even provided sunscreen, which I thought was a nice touch. We can’t wait until we visit again.

Only thing missing is the people!

And I didn't miss most of the people. Lisa and Kelly were wonderful to work with and keep a great property. Like anywhere in rural MO, it has its quirks, but home was clean, well appointed, and check-in was very easy. Thanks so much! I hope to stay again!

Amazing stay

Our family had the best time staying at this property! Lisa is a wonderful host that goes above and beyond in making sure you have everything you need. The house is clean and comfortable. We spent most of our time outdoors, swimming and fishing. There's so much space to explore outdoors. You can hang out by the pool, on one of the docks or kayaks, or walk the trails on the grounds. If you're looking for a place to relax and have fun, book this place. We can't wait to come back!

Close to Home Getaway!

This was a fantastic break from the hustle and bustle of real life. I loved how close it was to the KC metro area. The proximity made it the perfect getaway for all of our family to meet up and spend some time together. The fishing was great. If you have younger kids in your party, they will love pulling bass out of the little lake one right after the other. The pool was a wonderful place just to kick back and relax. The house was exceptionally clean and our hosts were very accommodating and quick to answer any questions. I highly recommend this rental!

Great house, property, and property managers

Lovely house with well-maintained pool and hot tub. Very comfortable. A/C struggled a tiny bit but not enough to be an issue. Enjoyed fishing in the lake from the dock, and kayaking. Great communication and service from the property managers. Some stocked items (bottled water, hard seltzers, beer, coffee, etc.) were much appreciated. Looking forward to a future return stay!

We so enjoyed staying 5 cozy evenings in this lovely home in February. We are so Thankful for everything Lisa did to get us into this place. I had looked for place's to stay in the area. They were unavailable. A big plus was this home was just a hop skip and a jump from our Daughter and Son in laws home. The home was warm and comfortable. We even enjoyed the pellet fireplace. I was early to rise 5am to watch the sunrise over the little lake. Absolutely BEE-U-T-FULL. Thanks Lisa for the effort you put into making this trip a Great one. Looking forward to another trip in the future.Willie G.

Need to be clear the lake is not for swimming. Boat motor only lasted an hour. Was trash left in the outside of the property. Otherwise comunication was good and inside of the house was clean.

Response from VrboOwner on 21 July 2023
Yes the free boat we threw in for free to you is a fishing boat. It's not for 10 people to cruise around the lake and party. You left the motor on all night so I'm sure that wasn't helpful. We were trying to be nice and didn't say anything. When you called us at 10pm because you broke the hot tub that was a bit much. We want people to have a great time and be loud if you like but locals who are going to disrespect our property and break things are not welcome here. That's what Lake of the Ozarks is for.

Great Lake House

Enjoyed some down time around the pool, sitting on the front porch and fishing at the lake dock. We had our grandchildren during the day and they loved it. We could have enjoyed even more if we had stayed longer (stayed 5 days). Great TV room that we didn't use and a hot tub available. The inside of the house has been remodeled and we could have cooked, or grilled but just chose to have pizza. The most notable part of the visit was the effort the landlord put into timely responses and the effort to help us enjoy our stay. We had a few odd requests and she helped us make it a great experience. I thank her for those special things.

Don't let the drive up fool you! It's beautiful! We had a lovely stay. The house was very clean. The beds were cozy and comfortable. The kitchen was updated and had everything we needed to cook and serve meals. The pool was amazing! The gazebo was bigger and better than expected! It sits next to the pool and was big enough with comfortable seating for 6-8 of us. We didn't do any fishing but it's just a tiny walk to the dock from the door. I highly recommend. Oh, PS, communication was so easy and they were very flexible with us. AND the fresh eggs for breakfast they provided - YUM.

Wonderful Lakeside Retreat

This property was exactly what we were looking for! Spent 4 days fishing, lounging in the pool, and just relaxing. We really came here to fish and spent a lot of time on the lake. We definitely recommend renting the boat. The hosts are gracious and went out of there way to make sure we had anything we needed! Can't wait to stay again!
