We had an amazing time in this stunning home. There were 16 of us, and there was plenty of room for everyone. The cove is quiet. The boat ramp and docks are perfect and plenty of parking. I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the Ozarks.

The house was better than the pictures described! There was a ton of indoor and outdoor space for our group of 12. The multiple kitchens and grill came in handy. The lower level “sports bar” area was amazing.

It’s a great property that can accommodate a relatively large group. Lots of bedrooms and bathrooms. The internet needs to be better. It’s virtually non-existent in the lower level. Overall a great time!

Great Family Vacation

Perfect property for our family of 13! The house was spacious, included 2 separate kitchens/living rooms, and 2 large decks with more than enough room to accommodate everyone. The house was tucked away in a cove which was great for swimming, fishing, and hanging out on the dock. Next to the dock was a boat slip with a short easy ride to the main lake. Will definitely stay again if we’re ever in the Ozarks!

Girl’s Trip

This property is excellent! We had 7 women in our group and we never wanted to leave. The house has several gathering areas and all the bedrooms are secluded and private. Highly recommend!! The listing says there’s a hot tub but it’s actually a jacuzzi bathtub in one of the bathrooms. Not an actual hot tub.

Wonderful place for girls weekend

This is an absolutely lovely property. We booked the place for a girls trip and it was wonderful. Plenty of space for eight people, all of whom had their own bedroom and bathroom. The decor is sleek, modern yet cozy. The kitchen had all the amenities we needed for cooking and serving meals. The weather was so cold that weekend, we never left the house! Yet we had a great time simply hanging out in this spacious, beautiful property. We will definitely book this place again!

Beyond Expectations

It can be challenging finding a location for a large family reunion! This beautiful lake property had it all and more!! Its own boat launch, a dock, two boat slips, kayaks, paddle boards…for fun in the water! We were there on a big football weekend, and the crowd enjoyed their favorite teams on big screen tvs on both the upper and lower levels. Be sure to check it out!

Girls Trip...Beautiful Home!

There were 7 of us, friends for over 30 years. We had the best time! The house is beautiful! We had more than enough room for all of us to gather or have a little alone time. The kitchens are very well stocked with everything you need to cook a fabulous meal. We spent most of our time on the outside deck, there are plenty of seating areas and tables. Chris was very responsive to a couple questions I had. I would highly recommend this house!
