Wonderful, very well equipped house. Property is nice and private. We brought our dog and was great for him to explore and run around. Nice garage setup with a pac man video game as a nice surprise. Will definately stay here again.

Great getaway spot in the middle of farm land.

The place was extremely comfortable an cozy for my family of 9. The yard was fantastic. For the first time we let our dog loose, and she loved running around and greeting the neighboring cows in the morning. The kitchen had plenty of space. We used both the gas and charcoal grills. It was just the place we needed to bond and share together as a family. The place was close to the lake so getting there was a breeze. For anyone looking for a peaceful family getaway, this is the place for you!

Great home and vacation!

We had a wonderful time at the Holder House. The home was very clean and very spacious. The kitchen was stocked with every appliance you could possibly need, actually the home was stock with about everything we needed for our vacation. We loved how it was secluded from everything. The peace and quite was just want we needed. We didn't have to travel to far to the boat ramps. We loved the garage. Big enough for our bass boat and the truck. Also the garage was set up with a sitting room and a arcade Pac-Man game! We had so much fun playing our own little Pac-Man tournament. Thank you Beth and Robert for a wonderful place that we could unwind and relax on our vacation!

Relaxing

This is a very relaxing stay. We came to visit family and intend to stay again. They have everything you need for your stay minutes the food. We spent the vast majority of our time on the front patio relaxing in the shade. We would highly recommend the Holder House! It’s a short 3 miles trip to the boat ramp if that’s your thing and the home owners alike you to park your boat and vehicle inside of their two car garage.

Holder House Treasure

Holder House is a treasure! The property was beautiful. So peaceful and tranquil. No noise or light pollution. The inside was clean and comfortable with all the amenities and then some!! Dog bowls, ping pong table, games, and 2 grills!! The location was perfect, close to boat ramps, Mark Twain's birthplace and national park, swimming beach and more! Looking forward to returning!

A Gem at the Lake

This was our 2nd time to stay at Holder House. The house is well kept, the beds are cozy, the kitchen has everything you need, and all It feels like home away from home there. We love going to Spaulding and Indian Creek beaches, Water Zone, and hiking at the park. Not only is it great inside, the property is in great condition and very relaxing to stay there. We live only 35 minutes away and make day trips but there's just something about the house and staying there that makes it more fun. The property owners are quick to respond to questions which is most helpful. Thanks for all you do!

We had a wonderful stay and were so thankful to be able to stay another year. It's a great location for access to the Mark Twain Lake. Also a wonderful place to gather and relax, even when rain changes your plans.
