Awesome stay!! It's definitely a cabin on a lake, a little dirty on the floors but I prefer that since we were in and out with dirty feet. Plenty of towels, very responsive and kind hosts. We will most certainly be coming back next year!

Perfect for our family get together!

We like to get together for Fathers Day. Cabin was clean and very roomy. Was the perfect get away for us and the kids spent the whole time in the water and kayaks and boats that were supplied by the owners.

This is a lake cabin! Lots of beds and plenty of outdoor activities. Don’t forget bug spray (our fault-it is right on the water!) and sunscreen. It isn’t the Ritz Carlton but it made for an enjoyable weekend with friends.

Nice getaway

We really enjoyed our stay. The host was super accommodating and responsive. We spent most of our time out by the lake. There is very limited fishing due to some type of fish that eat everything (clearly not the fisherman) there was swimming for the kids and other water activities which was great.

Good location good value

Stayed here for Fourth of July. Cabin worked perfectly for what we needed. It isn’t 5 star accommodations but you are staying on a lake and it is a perfect lake cabin experience. Owner was very friendly and super helpful with everything. Had a lot of amenities that we were allowed to use such as kayaks, paddle boats, life vests, fire pits and bbq grills. Would stay here again for sure.

About the host

Hosted by Richard Poland

Host profile image
Judy and I are both retired and enjoying life at the lake. It is busy in the summer with boating and entertaining. The fall and spring are always a welcome season with the cool temps and changing of the seasons. Winter is wonderful with all the water fowl and eagles. The pelican come by in the spring and fall and are always a joy to watch. We have rescued two white pelican and delivered them to the rescue center in Kansas City. The know us as the wildlife rescuers of Big Lake in Kansas City rescue center.We enjoy meeting new people and insuring they have a pleasant stay with us. In our spare time we enjoy playing cards and traveling the different states. I have been to all 50 states and Judy is working to that goal also.

Why they chose this property

Big Lake is an overlooked gem of NW Missouri. It is in both the Missouri and Mississippi river migration fly zones. The bald Eagle are plentiful. We have sighted 53 bald Eagle on the ice at one time. We are away from the hassle and bustle of the big city, but we are midway between Omaha and Kansas City both just and hour and a half away.

What makes this property unique

Almost one acre of land to use for recreation and gathering. Several gas grills available for use. A 20X20 sunshade tent and several tables and chair for reunions and meetings. Five camper hook up available for more housing. We have hosted up to 44 at one reunion.
