Lake Stay

The Cliffhanger is a practically perfect retreat house for one or two. We were visiting family who live at the lake, so proximity to the boat dock was a big plus. I enjoyed several hours on the deck at daybreak, watching the wildlife and enjoying the beauty of the lake. Great stay!

We are Shon and Trish Gerber and we are from the Wichita, KS area. We have been married for over 32 years and it has always been our dream to own a lake home and more recently to own a VRBO property that we love and can share with others. We love being a host because it provides us with the opportunity to share our Table Rock Lake cottage with our guests. This home is our "little slice of heaven" and whether you’ve come to relax, explore, or just enjoy a change of scenery, our cottage is yours to unwind and feel at home. We’ve taken care to make this space cozy, comfortable, and fully stocked for your stay. Feel free to settle in, and let the cottage be your retreat to recharge, make memories, and experience the peaceful surroundings.

Imagine a cottage that is perched on a cliff, tucked in amongst the cedar and pine trees, with breathtaking views of Table Rock Lake. As you wind around the small road that leads to our cottage you are enveloped by the beauty and peacefulness of the surroundings, a quiet neighborhood that draws you in to sit back, relax, and enjoy nature.

What makes this property unique

Built in 1932, this charming cottage is the perfect couples’ hideaway to enjoy the tranquility and scenery of Table Rock Lake from inside this small 500 square foot home or from the outside on an equally large wrap around deck that boasts views of the lake, the Shell Knob Bridge, amazing sunsets, star gazing, and bird watching.
