Amazing location for a family getaway!

We had four generations of family meet in Cuba for a Missouri staycation. It was perfection! The house was amazing and accommodated everyone. The lake was fun for the little one to walk around and see the fish. And, the pool was great! We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again!

Could have stayed several more days!

This private lake house was just what we were looking for... a get away from the hustle and bustle with everything we needed right there. Our host, Richard, was very helpful. We came with 3 families, had more than enough room and enjoyed the private pool and beautiful lake. We also enjoyed walks around the property and easy access to a Walmart nearby. Thank you to our host and we look forward to coming again!

Perfect in Every Way

I can’t say enough about this property and the memories that were made. From a high school graduation, cousins bonding, fishing with great grandpa and so many other memories I can’t say enough. The house and property are beautiful and are exactly as described. The host was responsive and accommodating and there are instructions throughout the house that make it easy to navigate. We would certainly stay here again!

Perfect Getaway

We rented Rich’s place for our annual guys weekend and couldn’t have been happier. The house is exactly as advertised and there was plenty of room for the seven of us. The property is secluded but close to town and shopping. The grounds were very well maintained and the deck, patio, pool and lake would be awesome in the summer. It’s the perfect place for entertaining with family or friends. The communication with Rich was excellent and we had no problems during our stay. Would highly recommend it.

PARADISE PROPERTY

Pictures do not do this slice of heaven justice. Located in Mid-Missouri This is a hidden gem for sure. Perfectly located off the highway a few miles in a valley sits this amazing huge 4 bedroom oasis with a gorgeous lake, outstanding pool and lounging area. As well as a delightful patio with breathtaking views of the lake and sunsets. absolutely perfect for 8 of us to spend quality time together for a little summer getaway. Didnt even use the huge finished basement. The house is huge! Richard the owner was wonderful to deal with and we cant wait to stay again. Thank you Richard for opening your home to share the beautiful property with others.

Great Place to Stay

We had a great time. Kids would swim all day we would fish in the mornings and afternoons. We caught good catfish, bluegill, green sun fish, and bass. Went to the ice cream shop near by which was also really good. We had 12 people 4 families and we had no problems making it work. Very nice house and well maintained property.

Peaceful and Beautiful

The pictures of the property and house are accurate. It is well cared for and offers comfortable sleeping and relaxing. The kitchens are easy to work in and well stocked with supplies for guest use. The deck is amazing, comfortable seating and beautiful view. Pool is a great hangout spot. The pool house bathroom is so handy. Lake is clear enough to see the smaller fish at the banks and out by the dock we got to see some huge catfish! Close enough to town for quick runs when needed. The hosts are easy to get a hold of and their check in/out process was the easiest I've experience so far.

Perfect kick-off to Summer

This house had everything we could’ve wanted or needed. It was more than big enough for our 5 adults & 2 children, and kept everyone entertained with fishing, swimming, Sonos, games/puzzles and plenty of yard space for running around (or playing several of the yard games we found in the basement). The kitchen had several sets of dishes, some spices, a lot of various utensils, and even some appliances (crockpot, coffee pot, & air fryer). The beds were super comfortable, and the zoned HVAC system kept us all happy. Even though it rained, we spent an entire evening on the covered porch around the gas firepit roasting s’mores, catching up, & playing the ring game. The pool was great (the poolside bathroom is a definite perk for kids), as was the hot tub. We loved having a fire down by the lake – where we spent a lot of time, reeling in a lot of fish! There are TVs in all the bedrooms which was great for downtime/bedtime. The host was very responsive and takes great care of his home. We hope to return again next year!

The house was perfect for 2 families needing a place to stay from out of state. It had plenty of amenities for a warm and comfortable stay and would only be even better in the summer w/ the lake and in-ground swimming pool. The owner was super communicative and responsive.

Great family time

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay! We got a lot of use out of the great pool and hot tub, and fishing was very fun for all ages (Papa got a catfish and the 6 year old became very independent with bluegill and bass!). The house was spacious and we appreciated having a second refrigerator. I like to be prepared when we stay in a rental house, so I appreciate detailed reviews. I brought laundry soap, which was good because each guest gets one towel/washcloth/hand towel, so we needed to do laundry a couple times and there were only two pods. I had brought bug spray, which was lucky because the grass to get out to the pond was extremely high and we had a couple ticks. It was cut toward the end of our stay, though. The owner was responsive and easy to reach. He mentioned that there was a mix up with our group coming the same day someone left, which could be why there were a couple areas that hadn’t been completely cleaned (sticky kitchen floor and toothpaste in sink and dumpster already full) but sheets, towels, tubs and counters were clean. Like most rentals, there were a lot of ants in the kitchen, so bring gallon bags for your snacks, etc. I would definitely rent this property again!
