We had an amazing stay at this Vrbo property! The home was clean, spacious, and perfect for our family vacation. The lake views were beautiful, and we loved having easy access to the water for swimming, fishing, and boating. The host was responsive and made everything easy from check-in to check-out.

Excellent Place

The house and property is beautiful, it is so peaceful with lots of wildlife to see. It is a very unique property for the ozarks as it is so flat and spacious. The water is beautiful with a very nice dock that has a great ladder. All the rooms are spacious and well decorated! We had the best time!

Phenomenal hosts

We’ve done many BnB/VRB properties across the country and these hosts were beyond outstanding! Very communicative beforehand and throughout our stay. The house was what they described and more. Every little detail was perfect & made our stay comfortable and fun. The home, the property, everything was just incredible. We cannot rate these owners high enough. We will definitely be staying here again for our yearly trip. Thank you Willis Family!!!!!

Second time even better than the first.

We stayed here in 2023 and loved it so much, we came back again this year. Not only was it as great as we remembered, it was greatly improved by the new dock decking and shiny blue swim ladder. Air conditioning is great, location is quiet, fishing from the dock was good. We were able to bring in a tritoon boat one day with no issues. The bedrooms were great and accommodated our large group perfectly. The wildlife was as expected with several deer sightings throughout the week. The house was clean and well decorated with great personal touches. We liked that it is a very short drive to Buck Creek Store, and the employees there were friendly. The neighbors next door were very friendly as well. The kids enjoyed the Stand Up Paddleboard, even the adults tried it and had fun failing. Would return here again the next time we have a large group coming to the lake.

Perfect for a large group

DEW Dream Acres, was perfect for what we needed. A quiet comfortable place to stay, with a safe place to swim. The dock is at the end of the cove so I am not worried about boat traffic (which can be an issue at the Lake). It was deep enough to swim, but shallow enough for tall girls to touch the bottom, which was great. The house is set up to hold large groups comfortably. We loved the large living room area for gathering together at night, the small fireplace room, off to the side, is cosy and great for small groups (girls singing room). The large kitchen is well stocked for feeding a group, crockpot, large cooking pots and bowls. There are ample places to sit and eat - inside large table, small table and outside picnic table. The view is lovely! Each evening, after working hard at volleyball all day we had watermelon on the picnic table and girls swam in the lake- very relaxing. Things we especially loved: the room themes, the pingpong table upstairs and the coffee bar down stairs.

Nice house, great layout on a nice big lot. Quiet and nobody close to you. Nice flat lot and easy dock access. Great for anyone who doesn’t like lots of stairs. Hard to find sometimes at the Ozarks. Plenty of parking.Beds were good. Beverage fridge was handy. They let you know there aren’t any TVs. To each their own, but a smart TV or two would be nice. WiFi did work well. The last leg of road down is gravel for a mile . Not a big deal depending on what car you might be wanting to drive down. Great house overall, we had a good time! Definitely recommend to others.

Week long reunion

This home and property with all of its accommodations met every need as the location host for our family reunion. As our family grows and different types of space are needed for both adults and littles, this property had everything we needed. Plenty of outside play space, porch sits, water play and comfortable accommodations. Would highly recommend for medium sized groups with plenty of privacy and spreading out space as well as large gathering rooms for most anykind of activity. Do not let the “no tv” in home scare you away. Go to this property and soak up all of the other visiting and play options. We had 5 littles and all they needed was cousin time. That being said, there is new internet in the home with plenty of bandwidth for multiple devices and no glitchy or dropped serviced to include video/zoom conferencing. The Host is extremely contactable and quick to help answer and resolve any kind of concern. Highly recommend and will consider booking property again in the future. Thank you to Dew Dream Acres, we grew to love you.

Fantastic location

Beautiful property with easy access to the lake. We loved watching the deer in the yard and fishing off the dock . The WiFi was spotty at best—but that did not pose a problem for us. The beds were comfy and there was plenty of food storage space. Overall, we loved it and will return!

We loved our stay!

We had a wonderful time. The house was perfect for our family. We have a few older people that don’t like a lot of stairs and this house was perfect. The house was very clean. There was plenty of room outside so the kids played baseball. We caught some fish, we enjoyed the water using the kayaks and Lily pad. One thing I didn’t expect is how much everyone (young and old) liked that there was no TV. The kitchen was stocked well with plenty of pans, dishes etc. I really liked the nice big pantry to store snacks, bread, chips, buns, and cereal. We are looking forward to hopefully coming back next year.😊

About the host

Hosted by Joy Willis

Host profile image
This property has been in the family since 1963. Our dad, whose initials are DEW, had a dream to purchase a piece of property at the Lake of the Ozark to have a "place in the country." This was just a large piece of land when they bought it and they spent many of hours and weekends clearing it. This was where they would camp and enjoy nature, family, and friends. Throughout the years they upgraded...their first house was the hut that you see when driving into the property on the right, then they bought a small trailer. This was mom and dad's favorite place to be. Unfortunately, dad passed away with an aggressive cancer almost 20 years ago. His wife Dar decided that she would like to have a house built in honor of her husbands dream.(Hence the themed rooms of Dads passions.) One of her most favorite things to do was host people. Unfortunately, she developed Alzheimer's shortly after his passing and passed recently. It's been a long journey...over 10 years in the making, but we have finally decided now was the time to finish this in honor of our parents. There are 3 brothers (Dale, Scott, and Mark) along with their wives, 16 children and lots of grandkids who enjoy the property. This has been a wonderful place our entire family has made and continues to make countless memories together. We hope your family can experience the heartwarming, relaxing and enchanting allure of DEW Dream Acres with lots of laughter, fun and memories of your own!

Why they chose this property

This is a unique piece of property with lots of room (approx. 60 acres) to spread out!
Wildlife abounds. Most days you will see deer in the back field, as well as turkey, owls, eagles, ducks and blue herons in the water nearby. There is a gravel boat ramp onsite for small to medium sized boats and a covered/roofed dock. We are only 15 min from grocery stores and restaurants. Ha Ha Tonka, Bagwell Dam, caves, etc... are less than an hour away. Our house is equipped with everything you need from kitchen supplies, appliances, 2 refrigerators and basic kitchen staples like flour, sugar, oil, spices, and condiments as well as a full coffee and tea bar, towels, and all your bedding essentials. There is a hearth room with a fireplace, ping pong table, basic baby needs such as a playpen, baby gate, play toys, etc...We also have 2 fire pits for campfires. There are yard games in the creek shed you can use along with pool noodles, rafts, and life jackets.
