About this property

Calm Cove. Large Dock w/13x32 Slip. Flat Driveway w/Zero-Step Access into House.

When you choose Stay at Scenic Drive, you can enjoy the lake—not stress over the lake!

Nestled in a calm, protected cove near the Bagnell Dam, Stay at Scenic Drive offers the kind of convenience that's hard to find at Lake of the Ozarks. Skip the gravel roads, rough water, heavy main-channel traffic, and hiking up and down flights of stairs just to unload the car before your vacation even begins.

Instead, enjoy paved two-lane roads to the property, a large private dock with covered 13x32 slip open for guest use, a flat driveway with zero-step access into the main level of the home, easy docking, and calm water that's perfect for swimming, floating, fishing, and relaxing. Close to the action when you want it, yet tucked away when you don't, it's the best of both worlds.

Why We Love It
✔ Calm, protected, no-wake finger of Jackson Branch Cove perfect for swimming, floating & easy docking
✔ Just minutes to the wider waters of Jackson Branch Cove—perfect for tubing, skiing, wakeboarding & cruising, all without having to enter the busier main channel
✔ Quick boat ride to the main channel for waterfront dining, sightseeing & exploring the lake (with a great landmark for returning)
✔ Large dock with TV, mini fridge, swim platform, rod holders & fish-cleaning area
✔ Flat driveway with zero-step access into the main level of the house
✔ Plenty of parking for vehicles, trailers & lake toys
✔ Firepit, deck & patio for relaxing after a day on the water
✔ Just 10 minutes to the Bagnell Dam
✔ Easy drive to Lake Ozark and Osage Beach restaurants & shopping

The Dock & Outdoor Spaces

Awesome property! The hosts of this property are great, very helpful and responsive. Dock is laid out great for hanging out, fishing, and swimming. House is in a great location to get to all the places quickly, but still be secluded.

Excellent communication by the owner. A very clean and comfortable home. Two available covered boat slips and some space for boat trailer parking is what sets it apart from many other lakefront rental properties. Located in a quiet cove with no wake.

Amazing amazing amazing! I stayed with my husband and four month old, and within an hour of being there, we were already talking about staying again next summer with more family. Check-in was seamless, and communication with the host was easy and efficient. The place was clean (and so cutely decorated) and the dock area (and closeness to the house) was fantastic! Beds were super comfy and great amenities - we grilled, fished, and just enjoyed the outdoors. Will 100% be back!

I am a pretty picky person and have been coming to the lake since I was a kid. This was one of the easiest places to check in and out of. The house had everything that my family of 5 (3 kids 12 & under)needed and more. Everything was in good condition & very clean! The dock was nice. After a day of fun in the sun, we watched a movie on the dock! My kids thought it was great! The dock fit our 35 ft boat with no problem. The cove was calm, deep, clean and very pretty. Fishing was good, too! Grocery delivery was available. There is a DG and mini mart within a 5 minute drive. Osage Beach & the strip were less than 20 minues away by road. By boat, you are very close to many of the popular lakeside restaurants. The host was extremely helpful and even checked in with me to make sure we had everything that we needed. Kitchen was fully stocked. Extra towels, blankets & pillows.

About the host

Hosted by Heather & Hanna

Host profile image
We're a family from Iowa who's been making memories at Lake of the Ozarks for over a decade. It's our favorite place to unwind, float or fish in a cove, and spend quality time together. We’re thrilled to now share that experience with others through Stay at Scenic Dr—a cozy, peaceful spot where you can slow down, soak up the lake life, and enjoy time with the people who matter most. We hope it becomes a special place for your family too.

Why they chose this property

We wanted a spot where we could enjoy the best of both worlds—quiet lake days and easy access to everything the area has to offer. This neighborhood gave us exactly that. We love being just 10 minutes from the Strip, restaurants, and shops, while still being tucked away in a peaceful cove. It’s the kind of place where you can spend the day floating with the family, then head into town for dinner or ice cream. Seeing the area continue to grow and improve makes it an even more exciting place to come back to year after year.

What makes this property unique

After years of staying at various homes at the lake and viewing dozens more, we knew what mattered most to us and hope you'll find our pick to be a perfect combination as well.

It starts with easy access and parking—a rare combo at the lake. You’ll enjoy paved, two-lane roads all the way to the driveway, and a relatively flat parking area that easily fits multiple vehicles or truck & trailer. The roads are typical lake windy but not as steep or narrow as many you may find.

Inside, it’s not oversized, but it’s clean, updated, and perfect for lake living. We love the fully remodeled kitchen —where you can enjoy the lake without feeling like you are roughing it.

And the dock and water access? That sealed the deal. The home sits in a protected cove within a cove, offering the perfect balance of quiet waters for floating and swimming, plus deep water (approx. 16 ft) off the dock. You get the calm, safe feel of a no-wake zone, but with a quick boat ride into Jackson Branch Cove, where you can tube or jet ski without venturing into the main channel. It’s truly the best of both worlds.
