this is the second time we have stayed at this property. Our family have agreed it is our favorite house at the lake. I have been coming to the lake for 30 years and the last 10 with my family. The amenities are awesome, the dock is great to gather, hangout and serve food on. The road to the property is quite a ride and access to shopping is not close. Camdenton is only about 20-30 minutes away, But we bring everything we needed and never had to leave the property. Look forward to coming back next year. The Monaghan's

This is one of the best VRBO’s I have rented as far as communication with owner as well as great accommodations. Perfect for any age, we spent one entire day just sitting on the dock. Great if you have rainy weather. Furnishings are what makes the place so comfortable.

Hunsberger Family Vacation

We truly enjoyed our stay at this property! The house has wonderful amenities and the area is so peaceful. Joy was a great host and very responsive. The house is definitely secluded, but the house has everything you need to stay entertained. The outside spaces were incredible!

Excellent Experience!

Loved that we picked this place for our family lake trip! We have a larger family and this home had plenty of space for everyone! Great location on the main channel but wasn’t too choppy even on a busier weekend. The owners have really thought of everything to make your experience enjoyable and convenient! Would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic! Five Stars!

This house was SO beautiful! We were so sad to leave at the end of our trip. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed! Joy and Don were so kind. It was so wonderful to stay there. Cannot say enough good things. The beds were so comfortable- I felt like I was in my own bed! Thank you again for everything! Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a nice getaway on the Ozarks.

Lake house

This beautiful lake house is a 10 out of 10. The house was beautiful. The view was beautiful right on the water tons of toys, kayaks, and paddle boards. We all had a blast and wish we could’ve stayed longer. We definitely will return be returning. The host were very quick to respond to any questions and very lovely people.

Amazing 4th of July Celebration

Wonderful home on the water with an incredible dock and view! Great communication from the owner, very easy to deal with and responds fast! House was cozy and felt like a home not a rental Home was fully stocked with items like trash bags, paper towels, toiletries, towels, dishwasher tabs, etc Furniture inside and out including the dock was ideal for a family The view was incredible with multiple decks to have your morning coffee As a family that enjoys cooking and making meals, the kitchen had everything we needed! Truly enjoyed this beautiful home and will definitely be back !

Great family vacation!

We stayed with our 3 adult children and all had a great time. The house was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to prepare meals. I especially enjoyed the coffee bar. And the basement was great for hanging out together whether playing games, cards, or pool, or watching movies. At night, we made smores at the outdoor firepit. The dock was a favorite - fishing, swimming, paddle boards, and kayaks; plus a bar and refrigerator, with plenty of seating for everyone. Joy was always very responsive as I was planning and packing for our trip, as well as during our stay. The neighbors were also friendly and helpful.

Amazing Stay: Forever Memories Made!

This was the best stay at the lake we have ever had. We felt welcomed and thought of as soon as we walked through the door. Joy and Don thought of everything and their intent to make you feel at home was palpable the entire stay. This home has everything you need to have an amazing time. We enjoyed home cooked meals, bonfires, backyard games, basement games, morning coffee and endless fun in the sun on the best dock that was also so thoughtfully set up. We boated, fished, paddle boarded, kayaked and floated…. We could have stayed for weeks and not run out of things to do. The owners are so kind, warm and responsive. They want you to have the best time possible! The home is so well kept, spotless and well stocked. Our family had 3 generations on this trip and we all had a blast and made memories to last a lifetime. Thank you for an amazing stay!

Amazing Weekend with Something for Everyone!

First class property with first class hosts. Each summer we do a sister’s weekend where we have three personalities to satisfy. These owners have thought of it all. They care about their home and want the best experience possible for their guests and we couldn’t be more pleased. Joy and Don’s details are accurate so believe the property information AND then add in the emotional experience of a beautifully groomed property, excellent dock and water locale, active and relaxing experiences and lovely hosts. Friendly, clear, and timely communication too. Super clean. Super tastefully decorated. Clear expectations outlined. Plus Endless activities (we needed a week to enjoy it all). We hated to leave.

Family already wants to re-book for next year

Well maintained and updated property. Plenty of amenities to keep us entertained. The lake has been our family vacation for years and this was the first time that the kitchen had good equipment to prepare meals. We brought many items, knives, pots, pans etc and they had everything you would need. The dock are was great. We spent most of our days there with plenty of activities. Easy in/out access to water and in a quiet cove so we could enjoy the water. They had a fridge in dock are which was great, we stocked it everyday so we did not have to go back up to house to get our drinks and snacks. The basement was full of full thing sto do. Pool table, which I was champ. Fooseball and a game table which we used every night. It was a little tight when we sat down to eat for 8 but we made it work. We even found the little gas/grocery store near by to have what we needed. Their hot prepared foods we fantastic. We are looking forward to booking again next year!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for the review and we're glad you want to visit again! Yes, we strive to give our guests a great time and all of the amenities we can think of. Although the inside kitchen dining table is tight for 8, we do offer plenty of table space in and outside for guests. Between 5 tables (and a kitchen bar and dock bar), everyone should have a seat and each area has it's own unique setting (kitchen, basement, deck, covered patio and covered dock). Replacing the kitchen table is on the list, so maybe by next summer, we'll have it done. ;)

The communication with the hosts was next level. They were easily available for any question both before, during, and after the stay. The house is clean and well kept with updated finishes. The kitchen is beyond completely stocked. If you need it, they already have it. Trust me. The bar and basement area were a blast on the cooler days. There are plenty of options for yard and indoor games, if you're bored here, you're doing it wrong. Water pressure was great and the water was softened. There are multiple fire features and outdoor seating options available. We loved the sun room on the cool day, but we spent most of our time on the dock. A neat feature to note on the dock is that there is a ladder, but also steps down to the water. It is perfect for sitting with your feet in the water. A couple things to note, the pictures are 100% accurate, the dock is on the main channel and the water can get wavey (that became the best part for out daughter), and the road going into the property is almost entirely paved, curvy, but paved.

This is by far our favorite place to stay on the lake. The property is SO clean, cozy and stocked. They have everything you need and lots of thoughtful extras. You feel welcomed and thought of as soon as you walk through the door. There are countless things to do and spaces to enjoy. Very family friendly and on an amazing spot on the lake- calm with a great community. The hosts genuinely want you to have a good time and enjoy your stay- they are so kind and communicative. I would recommend this for families who enjoy dock time, water time, the warmth of fires on chilly nights and cooking meals in a very well stocked kitchen!!
