Great family retreat! Lakefront, 4bed/2Ba, quiet cove & private dock

A very modern home that comes with its own private dock, boat slip (w/shore power) and lots of fun in the sun! We updated our home both upstairs and down in the last two years. Everything is complete to make this home shine including entry foyer with built-ins, hardwood floors, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances & new light fixtures throughout. This home lives LARGE with 2 living areas, 4 Bedrooms, and 320 square feet of screened porch with open patio below. There is even a loft for the kids to get away by climbing the handmade 'skateboard' ladder!

Outdoor living and dock time is what this property is all about and the outside will not disappoint with 16 feet of water depth at the end of the concrete dock, a swim platform and shaded area for seating, covered12'X32' boat slip, covered 12'X12' pwc slip, 2 kayaks, gas grill, beautiful natural landscaping, space to relax by the seawall, basketball hoop, open storage for water toys, and parking for up to 4 vehicles for plenty of visitors.

If you love to fish, there is no better place with crappie beds galore and fish habitat that have been developed over many years. Crappie, bass, and catfish all live, troll, and scavenge under our dock.

If wetting a line isn't your thing but being by the water is, we still have plenty of fun opportunities like swimming, kayaking, or just floating around. The water is calm and quiet with little-to-no boat traffic making docking your boat a cinch. The Main Channel can still be seen from the dock for a great view and watching cruisers and go-fast boats buzz by. If you bring or rent a boat, you can boat around and pull skiers/tubers in an adjacent cove (Birdsong Hollow Cove) without even entering the Main Channel. Located at the 3MM, you are still within easy boating distance from great amenities like parasailing, main channel boating and views, waterfront restaurants like Coconuts, Jolly Rogers, Frankie & Louie's, Tap & Grill, H. Toads, Shady Gators, Lazy Gators, and The Boathouse. The Boathouse is part of Village Marina, which is just a 5 minute walk or boat ride, and is a popular spot for both locals and visitors with indoor and outdoor seating and a heated pool. The marina offers first class marina service with boat/pwc rental, boat launch, gas, and gear shop.

If you want to get away by car, you can visit the Bagnell Dam and Strip area which offers shopping, arcade games, and old time photos. Osage National is just a 15 min drive that offers the best golfing and scenery at the Lake. Ha Ha Tonka State Park is a 30 min drive and has hiking, caves, and scenic views.

We maintain this property with love and care. The cove is small and quaint and has a number of full time residents. Out of respect for our neighbors, if you are seeking a party pad, this location is not for you.

The property is beautifully situated on the Northshore, which is the closest shoreline to the St. Louis area with easy access off of Highway 54 and Highway W. We would love to share our property with you, so you too can enjoy the beautiful cove and relaxing atmosphere.

We offer deep weekly and monthly discounts for offseason guests from October to March.

Great fishing-horrible Karen of a host
The house was nice, clean, and great fishing. We had a great time other than the host. When we arrived we went to the dock to sit and enjoy the evening after a long car ride. Upon un stacking the dock chairs we Noticed one was broke and just left it on top of another chair and sat on it that way. Once we left the host notified us that we broke a chair and insisted that we pay for it. I let her know it was broke once we got there but she said she had video of use breaking it which was a lie since it was broke when we got there. One of the kids had dropped a chair in the water and instantly reached down and grabbed it and continued sitting in it. However because she saw that happen she tried to insinuate that was how the chair broke. However if that was how the chair broke then how would he have continued sitting in it?! Also she accused us of having 11 people instead of 10. I have never in my life been so insulted by a host. It’s also weird that they sit next door and watch every move u make. Also if we knew they could see us then why would we lie about anything. Also in the Vrbo listing it says you are able to use the marina there however u do have to pay to use it. That was not listed. 50$ to put a boat in and 50$ to take your boat out. That little bit of information would have been appreciated. If we had broke anything we would have definitely replaced it before even leaving and made the host aware.

So peaceful!
We've stayed at this house several times and it is always a great experience. It is perfect for my husband and I, with my adult children and older grandchildren to hang out with us. We love the screened in porch and the hanging bed. It's perfect for an afternoon nap, or a good book. The house is very clean, and the hosts are very responsive and a pleasure to book with.

Fantastic Accommodations
Everything was easy peasy. The place was clean and well kept and having a dock and slip was a huge plus. A bit of advice for those who don’t want to make several trips back and forth on the stairs and slope from the house to the lake… we would have loved being able to spend the day at the dock with a place to sit and eat. It would have been the whole package. Many if not all of our neighbor’s docks had a place to sit and enjoy with a table so they could snack and eat and drink and fish all simultaneously. This dock does not have a table. Just plastic chairs are available. Other than that it is a fun, well stocked, clean, enjoyable place to stay! Oh! I was surprised that our instructions upon leaving told us to strip the beds but leave the comforters and pillow shams as is. Made me feel a little uneasy and wonder if I slept with the same comforter and pillow shams the people before us had used.

Nice, clean property
We enjoyed our long weekend at Greg & Angie's house. There was quite a bit of space for the 7 of us with ample beds. Their dock on the cove was very peaceful, and we enjoyed using the kayaks and inner tubes provided. I don't recall if this was stated in the post or not, but be sure you are aware that there are quite a few steep steps down to the dock, and there is no hand rail. This was a little challenging for my 75 year old mother, but we took it slow and made it work. Also, be sure to note that life jackets aren't provided; thankfully, we brought some along. Overall, it was a lovely place to relax and make the most of our family time.

Jump in the lake
We had such a great stay. House super clean and gorgeous. I hope to stay here again. Had a couple hiccups id like next guest to know. These are not complaints, we done have any complaints. Tried to put adults in loft area and upper bunk bed to sleep. It’s too hot in loft and no fan. Plus they get scared of falling from cocktails. lol. We’ve never dealt with a trundle bed before. Couldn’t get up 1st night and then had a bad chin hit next night when it sprang up. Be careful A screened in porch is a must on my trip list now. Swing bed is heavenly! Had a couple people who prefer chlorinated water, so the Boat House so close was perfect for our group. We all used the kayaks and Lilly pad. Cove is beautiful and quite, neighbors were super nice. Great Lake house!

EVERYTHING WE NEEDED!
Our family of eight, including a 2-month-old, had a wonderful time! The house had everything we needed in bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchen! Plenty of pots and pans, plus seasonings, coffee, and dinnerware. The bedrooms were comfortable with plenty of blankets and fans. The bathrooms were fully stocked. And games and books were available for both kids and adults. The kayaks and floaties were appreciated! And the hanging bed on the screened-in porch was enjoyable! We will hopefully be visiting again!

Weekend at the lake
The host met al of our expectations from my just under 2 yr old Granddaughter to my 83 yr old mother. Everyone of us loved the whole weekend. We usually find attractions around where we stay, but we only left the property to pick up the boat, (rental place was within waling distance) or to go boating. I can't wait to visit again.

Perfect Lakeside Christmas Retreat
Could not have been happier renting this beautiful lakeside home to celebrate our family Christmas. Iowa winter weather presented some challenges getting down to Lake of the Ozarks, but Angie was really helpful and communicative through everything. The space was great for multiple households and accommodated everyone's needs perfectly. Hopefully we can come back during the summer to enjoy the water, but we still had a beautiful view and idyllic location! HIGHLY recommended this impressive lake house!

If you enjoy WATER!
This property is perfectly located right on an arm at the Lake of the Ozarks. Access to a private dock (from which you can swim, fish, or boat) is included with the rental. There is sufficient seating, and beds available for the number of people this property claims to accommodate (we have found this is NOT always the case). We had a great time, and we strongly recommend this property to any family looking for a good place to stay at the lake!

Wonderful property and awesome host!
Our family had a wonderful time! The kayaks were a big hit with our grandchildren as well as the opportunity to fish! The house is very nice and had lots of room. All appliances provided, even a gas grill covered everything we needed for a family feast! One suggested update to the description would be that there is one king bed, one queen bed, and a daybed that pulls out. The room with bunk beds and loft with 2 more twin beds was PERFECT for the 4 grandchildren. Our host made sure we had everything we needed. We would stay again and hope to be back next year.
