Gentle Slopes Retreat – For 12!

Summary:

This is waterfront living at its finest! Whether you’re hiking nearby trails, spending a laid-back afternoon at a local winery, or joining in the lively lake culture, Gravois Mills delivers the perfect blend of excitement and relaxation for an action-packed or tranquil retreat. It's a vacation where the fun never stops and the views are always stunning, and it all begins right here at Gentle Slopes Retreat! Imagine starting your days with breathtaking sunrises over the water, followed by thrilling adventures such as swimming and boating in and around the expansive lake, kicked off right from your private dock. The home’s spacious patio is the perfect spot for sunbathing while sipping on a refreshing cocktail, the outdoor table hosting a delicious al fresco lunch fresh from the grill.



The Space:

As you head out away from the home to explore the greater Lake Ozark area, take the short drive or boat ride to stop in for a meal at Tap & Grill Lakeside Brew Haus, the lake’s first and only lakefront micro brew pub, or discover all the shopping options at the Millstone Marina. Head out by boat to the Bagnell Dam to snap some photos at the scenic overlook, stopping in for lunch and shopping on the strip located along the shoreline. A scenic cruise along the winding waterway in just about any direction will take you additional delicious dining options, including H. Toads and Franky & Louie’s, just to name a couple.



Indoors, soaring vaulted ceilings sit atop open spaces designed to maximize your downtime while keeping those preferential lake views front and center at all times. Sink into plush sofa seating in the living room while you stream all your favorite entertainment on the smart TV, the views keeping the ambiance relaxing all season long. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to whip up all your favorite homecooked meals, with stainless steel appliances and plentiful countertop space and cabinetry for preparation and storage. Gather around the table to dine on your fare, afterward clearing the dishes to host a fun-filled family game night for the ages.



This home comfortably sleeps 12 guests between 4 private bedrooms.



Bedroom #1 includes a king size bed, smart TV, patio access, and ensuite bathroom with a single vanity, jetted bathtub, and walk-in shower.

We loved being so close to the water and the sun coming up over the lake was spectacular. Our whole group spent a lot of time between the patio and the dock. The deer came into the back yards and were very close so we got a good look at them. We definitely would visit again

Overall we had a great time. Plenty of sleeping room. My biggest complaint was the kitchen items like pots and pans have a lot of wear and tear and not seeming very clean but wasn’t a huge problem.
