This property is exactly as described in the listing. It’s decorated beautifully and very comfortable. It was also stocked with basics such as laundry soap, dish detergent, toilet paper etc. I find that a lot of properties are not so well stocked, it was nice to not need to worry about those little things! Location is perfect and the dock and quiet cove was so nice for swimming, paddle boarding and relaxing! I would definitely recommend this property and would love to stay here again in the future!
Upon arrival everything was nice and neat. The place has everything you need to enjoy your stay. Kitchen was stocked with necessary items to cook with. Three bathrooms all with plenty of towels for your use. The washer and dryer were used our trip and made it nice to keep towels clean since we were out swimming off the dock every day. This area is tucked away from the main flow of boat traffic which was nice to relax. We used the grill to make food one night and it was easy to use. The home is very spacious with lots of sitting areas and table room. My kids and I already want to plan our next trip back.
Inside the property was clean and very nice, exterior deck areas were full of spider webs which would have been nice if they were cleaned. Overall, we had a great time and loved the property!
Our family of five had a wonderful time at this home. Everything you could possibly need to enjoy your stay was provided and the listing was exactly as described. We enjoyed the jumping platform and days lounging at the dock. The house was in a perfect spot in a quiet cove. We were close to activities and restaurants for the kids to enjoy. Would definitely recommend this property to other families!

Place was in great shape, and far enough way, where it was quiet, but close enough to all the main places you would want and need to go at Ozarks. Pamela was even reachable on our day of arrival and when our code didn’t work and had it fixed within seconds for us!

Comfortable, well stocked, great property
The home was very comfortably set up. It is one of the best stocked homes we have stayed in and we have been staying in rental vacation homes for 13 years. It had every thoughtful touch from hot chocolate that I had with my grandson every morning to a s’mores maker to a crockpot so dinner could be ready when we came up from the dock. The dock was great and fishing was successful! We had a lot of fun swimming also. We rented a jet ski from Big Thunder Marine-Glencove which is close by land or water. The set up of the home with bedrooms upstairs was ideal for the teens who wanted to sleep later and the children who could have quiet early in the evening. We had a great vacation at this home!
The house was just as pictured. Great location in quiet cove off main channel. Very well decorated, comfortable and relaxing. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could possibly need. If you plan to cook while here, the kitchen was perfect. The deck was great for relaxing. Huge trees provided shade at all times. The neighbors on both sides were very friendly and helpful. We loved it and will likely return.
The only suggestions we could make is to have access to cleaning supplies available such as a broom so the deck can be swept of the bark and nuts from the trees. There was a times an odor of sulfur/rotten eggs from the water supply. Not sure if anything can be done about this. The chairs available on the dock were all broke in one form or another. Maybe have those replaced. Also the sliding glass door in the master bedroom would not open which was not a big deal but could be to someone else.
