About this property
Modern Lakefront Retreat Steps from the Water in a Quiet Cove
www.fryelakehouse.com
We’d love to share our beautiful modern lakefront home with you and your family. Designed for gathering and relaxing, the home features large open spaces, soaring ceilings, and oversized windows that fill the house with natural light. There are four full bedrooms plus a fifth bunk room for kids. A recently renovated garage adds a fully climate-controlled hangout and sleeping space, allowing the home to comfortably sleep up to 15 guests.
The house offers two spacious living areas—one with a cozy fireplace and the other with a large sectional, 60-inch TV, game table, and seating perfect for movies or lounging. The remodeled kitchen opens directly onto a fully furnished screened-in patio overlooking the lake, a favorite spot for morning coffee and conversation as the sun comes up over the water.
The main-floor master suite includes a king bed, private TV, and access to the upper deck. On the lower level are two bedrooms, one with a private en-suite bath and the other with easy access to a full hallway bath. One of the bedrooms has a king size bed, and the other queen. Both feature sliding glass doors with direct lake views—many guests fall asleep watching the moonlight ripple across the water. A smaller lower-level bedroom includes a twin bunk bed for kids, and an additional cozy loft bedroom upstairs with a queen bed.
The converted garage is a standout feature, serving as a game and sleeping room with carpet, heating, and air conditioning. It includes a king loft bed with a full bed underneath, an additional sofa, and space to sleep up to five. Entertainment includes classic arcade games (NBA Jam, NFL Blitz, Pac-Man), ping pong, foosball, a 65-inch TV for your gaming system, and a vintage pop machine—perfect for kids, teens, and young-at-heart adults, especially on rainy or cold days.
Outside, enjoy double decks with dining space and a Blackstone grill, regular grill, plus a lakeside fire pit with Adirondack chairs—ideal for s’mores, sunsets, and unwinding with your favorite drink. The spacious yard is great for games, and we provide several yard games stored in the garage.
Just steps from the house, the private dock features lounging areas with fans, a covered table for dining or games, a bar area, Bluetooth speakers, and a diving platform. Guests are welcome to enjoy the provided water toys, including floatables, a surfboard, skis, a wakeboard, two paddleboards, three kayaks, and a Lilly pad. Boats are welcome but must be tied to the dock, as the slip is owner-occupied. Boat rentals are nearby and can deliver directly to the dock, and a public boat ramp is just minutes away with ample driveway parking for cars and trailers.
The quiet cove is tucked away from the main channel, offering calm water for swimming, floating, and fishing, while still providing easy boat access to nearby gas docks and waterfront restaurants. Groceries, restaurants, gas, tackle shops, and convenience stores are about 10–15 minutes away by car. Golf courses, caverns, antique shops, hiking and biking trails, and the Osage Beach Outlet Mall are all within a short drive.
Please note this is a family-friendly home in a peaceful cove with mostly year-round residents. This is not a party location, and we ask guests to respect the quiet, relaxed atmosphere. Parking is limited to five vehicles unless prior approval is given.

Hello, my wife Melissa and I bought this property so we could share it with families like yours. I am a college professor and therapist, while my wife also has a private counseling practice. We understand the importance of play, self-care and unplugging. So, we hope this house will provide you a space to do this.
Why they chose this property

It has about everything you would want for a family vacation/ get together. There are areas for lounging, play with activities for sunny and rainy days. There is room for people to spread out and spaces to come together. The house is beautifully decorated with every detail in mind. Also, being on the lake with a yard and minimal steps to the dock is a special find. We have tried to think of everything to make your time here something you will never forget. Our wonderful guests have confirmed this with consistent 5 star ratings.
What makes this property unique
