The open floor plan offers plenty of room for everyone, yet provides a comfortable and cozy feel. With so many areas to enjoy, there’s room for everyone to find their favorite spot to relax, curl up with a good book, catch a movie, play games, and feel the rays of the sun or the evening breeze while gazing up at the open sky.
The entryway/living room boasts the warmth of a sky-lit ceiling and a straight-on view of the main channel. There’s plenty of seating surrounding a fireplace (with an electric insert) for chilly evenings along with a mounted flat-screen TV equipped with a Firestick and high-speed fiber for streaming.

There’s not much we don’t have for enjoyment right here on the property, but if you want to get out and about, it’s safe to take a walk down the roads to nearby neighborhoods. There’s plentiful wildlife residing in the Ozarks. Chances are you’ll see deer, bald eagles, and the occasional armadillo nosing around, along with many other forest and lake-loving creatures. There’s a whole lotta fun waiting out on the lake with plenty of nearby bars/restaurants that offer free music, karaoke, and delicious food and drink. Come back after a day on the water, gather around a fire, and take time to gaze up at the open sky, it’s an amazing site!
If you want to take a day trip, you are approximately 45 minutes from the Osage Beach and Camdenton areas where there's a vast variety of restaurants, shopping, gift shops, wineries, outdoor concerts, golfing, and sightseeing.

About the host
Hosted by Don and Joy James
We're both small town kids from southeastern Nebraska who found our way out of the corn fields and into the beautiful state of Missouri 30+ years ago. We raised our family in Lee's Summit, where we fell in love with all the nearby lakes, which led to a boat, a timeshare at Table Rock Lake, then a bigger boat, a vacant lot in the Ozark woods, a lake house, and then yet another boat....you get the idea! Lake life IS our life!!
Why they chose this property
With lake living, there's lots of fun to be had and work to be done! Can't think of a better place to do both! We embraced the lake life 20+ years ago, sharing many wonderful memories here with our children, extended family and friends. The memory-making continues and we want to share that opportunity with you, our guests, to enjoy what we already know, love and appreciate here at the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks!
What makes this property unique
Just as our title states, 'A Recreational Mecca', we feel this sums up what we have! There are so many different areas of enjoyment; from the sun porch, to the gazebo, to the open patio below, the downstairs entertainment extravaganza, and of course, the dock is in a league all it's own!
