After a relaxing day on the lake, perhaps you would like to challenge a family member to a game of disc golf on our 9-hole course?
Or get the clubs and balls out and do some Scottish style chipping?
Bring your bikes and ride around the lake or up in the woods, or hike in our 342 acres, photograph wildlife, pack a picnic and explore.

We absolutely loved our stay there. We were a bit of a smaller group so our kinds were in love with all of the space. The lake is so peaceful, and the blooms in the morning are a must see!I wanted to live in the greenhouses, they were my personal favorite. The host very very curious and so accommodating and very quick to respond!I highly recommend this to be your next stay, you don’t even have to leave the property because there’s so much to see and explore!

Fabulous Lake House

The house is fantastic, with plenty of bathrooms, beds, and gathering spaces for everyone. The kitchens are the best stocked kitchens I've ever seen in a vrbo rental. We loved the lake and having access to paddleboards and kayaks was awesome. Everyone had a great time and all the kids are asking when we can go back. We definitely want to return some time!

Perfect Family Reunion Spot

We gathered 8 families on the property for Labor Day weekend and it was perfect! Everyone had their own room/space and the house is big enough that we didn’t feel cramped at all. Outdoor there were so many things to do - we rode on the pontoon, swam, fished, sat around the fire, played cornhole and so much more! They had everything stocked and ready for us to enjoy the weekend and time together. Would definitely come again!

Graduation celebration

34 recent high school graduates celebrated together for 3 nights. The property offered so much for the kids to do. The spaces in the house were generous and well furnished. Kids could watch movies, build puzzles and sign yearbooks together. The proximity to the town of Rolla made food shopping easy. The entire trip exceeded my expectations in every way.

We always have an amazing time at this property. You have the lake area to yourselves and they have lots of life jackets and floats to use. This time we took advantage of the hiking trails as well. The paths are well marked and maintained. The home has plenty of towels, dishes, cooking utensils and even extras if you forget something. The only mishap we had this time around was checking out. We removed the comforters with the sheets and pillows assuming they were washed with each guest. Comforters are not changed with each guest, only sheets. Final check out is texted, and we followed the printed instructions in the kitchen. So just make sure you wait for Julie’s text and you’ll be set!

Loved this property!

Our family of 26 stayed comfortably in this house! We were so impressed by the cleanliness of the home and what it had to offer. Whatever is in your home can be found in this house…and then some! From ample amounts of paper towels, trash bags, and TP to crock pots, life jackets and beach towels, this vacation rental had it all. Our kids and grandkids enjoyed the canoes, boating, and fishing. The dock is perfect for kids of all ages. Just can’t say enough! Check in and check out we’re a breeze. The owner and property manager were very helpful and prompt with responses. Don’t hesitate to book this property if you’re looking for fun and relaxation.

Memories abundant!

My brother and I rented this for our adult children and grandkids from ages 6 to 18! TX, IN, AR, and WI were all represented! So much for the kids to do, golf, disc golf, basketball, room for some baseball... fishing of course the highlight was swimming endlessly! Plenty of room for 22 people and ample kitchen spaces. We are hoping to return!

Met our needs perfectly.

This was a fantastic place for our family of 27 to spend a week. There is a lot of room in the house. We didn’t feel crowded the day we had to stay inside because of rain. The 3 refrigerators and multiple ovens in the kitchens were very nice. We enjoyed the kayaks, swimming, and fishing off the dock. The only downside was there was no shallow place for the toddlers to play in the water. There were enough life jackets for them to wear while on the dock. There were other outside games to play when not swimming. We made many memories in a very comfortable house.

Awesome Summertime Family Reunion

Our 4-generation family came here to celebrate our folks' 80th birthdays. The lake and water toys were highlights. The grounds are beautifully land-scaped. We made use of the large gathering space in the great room for sharing memories and singing. The outdoor eating area, fire pit, rocky ridge trail, and moonlit pontoon rides were all much enjoyed. We appreciated that the mattresses could be removed from the bunk beds and used elsewhere to make the sleeping arrangements more suitable to our older children. We would definitely recommend this property! There's plenty of fun and relaxation right there, you don't even need to leave the premises!

Incredible Property

Our extended family (30+) stayed here for a family reunion two years ago and fell in love with it. We decided to come back again this summer! We have folks from St. Louis area and Springfield area, so this was right in the middle for everyone! The house and surrounding area is well kept and has everything we needed. PLENTY of beds and places to sleep for everyone, tons of indoor and outdoor seating, towels provided, stocked kitchen(s), paddle boards/canoes/kayaks, life jackets, folding chairs, you name it! We really liked this set up because everyone could be together, but still have some flexibility. Anyone could go to and from the dock and house to cool off, take a nap, fix a snack, etc. Or if some wanted to swim later while others sat up by the fire pit we were all still together. The dock was spacious for everyone and had picnic tables, ladders, and a step down/ledge for sitting/jumping. The owners/caretakers were extremely nice and accommodating. We are planning to come back again next summer! We highly recommend this property for any larger group gatherings with friends or family.
