Amazing Lake Experiences! Private Hot Tub, Aamazing Dock, Firepit & Two Layers of Decks
Take Advantage of our Fall and Winter Specials!!! Buck Creek Cottage delivers Lake Made Memories! In fact, many of our guests rarely leave the decks & dock area! This family-friendly four-bedroom home includes a dock, swim platform, and deep water cove. Enjoy the paddle boat, kayak and dive platform or simply sun over the water. Boaters may use the 10x24 slip for boat or jet skis. Enjoy a great location for local restaurants and hot spots by water or land.
* Two levels of decks with a private lake view hot tub
* Dining & Deck seating for large families
* Incredible dock with large swim platform, high dive & wet steps for easy water exit
* Kayaks & paddle boat for guest use
* Great fishing area with natural beds throughout the cove
* Firepit area with lake view
* Exclusive Lake Days by Design for a personalized guide to your stay
* (Please note: Fireplace not available for guest use)
You'll never leave the dock! The evening views are beautiful as the sun sets behind the ridge and the cove lights reflect on the water.
For the fishermen & fisherwomen, our property is in a popular cove frequented by the pros! Use the boat slip to secure your boat and access fishing any time you wish. Excellent fishing all year long.
If you need a tech break, enjoy the four smart TVs with high-speed wireless access and HDMI connectivity.
We are easy to reach and have a strong network in the area to support your stay. We'll share recommendations through the guidebook, but feel free to ask questions along the way.

About Your Host
Our family of eight loves everything water... Lakes, boats, sunsets, swimming, wakeboarding and more. When we found Lake of the Ozarks, it was love at first sight! As business owners and life long entrepreneurs, we decided to dive in - literally. Our love for the lake blended well with our skills in property management, construction, event planning and experience design. The result serves vacation home owners and guests alike. Buck Creek Cottage is our FIRST vacation rental. Our family renovated the property and created a home we would enjoy to ensure families - big and small - would come to love the lake!
Location Description:
The property is in a quieter part of the lake but with access to several "hot spots" on the water and off. Within 20 minutes you will find great food, great drinks, incredible bar pool views, and a water slide that every age will enjoy. Also nearby are great shops and local businesses. The neighborhood is wooded and quiet, with a road great for walks and bikes. Many of the neighbors have been at the lake for more than a decade. They love the lake and those who come to enjoy it!
Getting There:
Buck Creek Cottage has easy access from Laurie, MO. Map your location to this lake community and from there enter the home address. This will give you the best roads for your arrival.
Cancellation Standards: Any cancellation completed with a refund will have a 5% transaction fee for the processing of the refund. Therefore, the refunded amount will equal 95% of the transaction paid. Lake Days Rentals is not responsible for the refund of fees paid directly to VRBO.
