We absolutely loved Effie’s. It was very quaint and we loved the screened in porch. The view to the lake just made our morning coffee so much better. We will definitely be back.

Thank you, Lisa! We enjoyed hosting you so much. We look forward to seeing you again.
Perfect place to stay to do some bass fishing! We love the property owners! They helped us park the boat. Love sitting on the deck and relaxing!

Allexcia & Justin were very good guest! We welcome them back anytime. They were pleasant and very respectful of our property and easy to communicate with
The view was great of the lake. The house was clean and comfortable. Great communication with Sandy. The half bath toilet needed a little cleaning, but it wasn’t too bad, we handled it. I would not hesitate to recommend staying at Effie’s!
House was clean and kitchen had everything we needed. Very close to boat ramp on Table Rock. Screened-in back porch had beautiful lake views.and the perfect place for morning coffee. Sandy was extremely friendly and helpful. We will stay again!

Sandi and Curt were wonderful guest. We had a bit of an internet problem and they were very understanding ( which we very much appreciated ). They were extremely respectful of EFFIES and left it in spotless condition We welcome them back anytime!!!
If you want the quintessential vintage TRL home feel with modern amenities, then you will love this home. Nice neighborhood, quiet and secluded feeling, awesome lakeview and feel, very clean, and pride of ownership shows. We just loved this place and Sandy, the owner, was so nice and accommodating for anything and everything. We'd definitely rent again! 5 stars all around for us!

Kris and Derek were terrific guest! Left EFFIES in excellent condition. Very polite and respectful and we welcome them back anytime!!
Can’t beat the amazing view and accommodating hosts!
This is the ultimate couples stay. The large screened in porch has a beautiful view and is a great place to share coffee or wine. Although it is a one bedroom it is an entire house to yourself. You are greeted by the host herself and find she has left snacks, water, coffee and other items typically not found. She and her husband were more than accommodating! We will definitely be back!
Very comfortable and clean property with great view of the lake. Most definitely will stay there again. Excellent communication with the property management. Very accommodating.
This is a very nice and comfortable property. My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here!

About the host
Hosted by Sandy
I truly enjoy meeting new people and learning their stories. I grew up in south-central Kansas and moved here from western Kansas. I'm an enthusiast of antique furniture and vintage jewelry, and have a shop here in town where I feature my favorite finds. You're probably wondering about the name. Effie is what my uncle called my mom. My mother thought this was such a beautiful place to live, so to honor her, our family decided to name it Effie's.
Why they chose this property
The Crestwood West neighborhood is clean, quiet and close to everything--the grocery store, Dollar General, hardware store, salons, boat ramps, etc.
What makes this property unique
When people walk into Effie's they often say they can immediately feel that it's special. It's designed to be a peaceful getaway for two. It's clean, has unique furnishings and a fabulous view of Table Rock Lake. The home provides privacy, for example if one of you wants to take a nap and the other wants to watch TV. And it has tinted windows in the front for privacy and empty lots on either side so you can see other homes but feel like you're in your own little world.
