Your Paradise Awaits at the Lake! Large game room and New Dock Bar!

Welcome to Emerald Retreat!

This is an amazing 3 story, family-oriented property with lots of room for everyone and is within the highly desirable Buck Creek Cove at Mile Marker 8. The home boasts 5 spacious bedrooms, 3 baths, 2 separate living space, a fireplace, flat screen TVs, game room/bar area with pool table, an entertaining kitchen with a great breakfast bar, lakefront sunroom, shaded patio, dock with one open slip with lift and patio furniture.

From the garage parking, you'll enter the home on the second level. This level has two bedrooms and one shared shower/bath off the hallway. The largest bedroom is spacious with two full size beds and tv that overlooks the lake. The second bedroom is nicely furnished with a queen-sized bed.

Upstairs is an enormous family game room with its treetop view of the lake. Everyone will enjoy the pool table, shuffle board, dart board, game table or just watching tv with plenty of comfortable seating for all. And don't worry about going downstairs for drinks, this 3rd floor level of the home also has a great wet bar - perfect for entertaining - with a mini fridge, sink, and microwave! There are two spacious bedrooms off the hallway; one with two full size beds with single bed pull out and another with a queen-sized bed and tv. Both rooms share a full-sized bath with a shower/tub. The game room also has a pull out bed in the couch.

Downstairs, on the first floor, is the living level of the home. Every cook will enjoy the beautiful kitchen with granite counters, breakfast bar, stainless appliances, dishwasher, and trash compactor. Both the kitchen and dining room have combined seating for 12 people. From both rooms you can enjoy the rock-faced fireplace and a flat screen TV. Just off the kitchen is a great lake-view bedroom with a king-sized bed, tv and hall bath with walk in shower. And access to the laundry room with extra storage for coolers.

When you're not on the water, you'll enjoy visiting and relaxing with family in the stunning lakefront sun room with movie theater style seating, accent chairs and large flat screen smart TV. The perfect spot for morning coffee, reading and just reconnecting with friends.

This 4,000 square foot property is perfectly situated on a great lot with easy outside access to everything. Beyond the French doors of the sunroom is a good-sized patio with multiple seating areas with a gas and charcoal grill. A few steps down from the patio is a sloping sidewalk to a firepit with wood and huge private dock in a very calm cove of the lake. The dock and one slip is available for your use to bring your boat and one pwc parking space with drive on dock. The slip is 9x20 with v-haul lift and there is room beside the dock if you have a larger boat. There is space available for parking your boat trailer. The water is deep and perfect for all your fishing, swimming, boating and floating activities. There is Lake Shores marina less then a mile before you arrive to the house to put in your boat.

This property is just 20-25 minutes away from all the action on the busy side of the lake - Bagnell Dam, Lake Ozark and Osage Beach - vi the community toll bridge. Also, the home is just minutes away from the towns of Sunrise Beach and Laurie for grocery shopping and from a public golf course. By water, we are less than a 10 minute boat ride from four of the hottest lakeside restaurant destinations - Frankie and Louie's, Coconuts, Jolly Rogers and the H. Toad Complex.

The home is furnished for normal housekeeping with dishes, cookware, flatware, glasses, coffee makers, basic appliances and grills outside. We are also pleased to provide bed linens, bath towels, and a starter packet of detergents, trash bags and paper products (toilet paper and paper towels). Please bring your own beach towels, personal toiletries, coolers, camera, life jackets, etc.

The property does have cameras facing the garage and entry way outside as well as the dock area for security purposes. There is also a security system inside the home available for use should you desire.

If you are looking for a property for a wild bachelor/bachelorette party, college party, this is not the property for you. This home is intended for family use only.

Easter Trip 2025

This house is great, plenty of room for a large group and decorated in a beach theme, so cute. The kitchen is well equipped which was great as we made breakfast each day and our Easter dinner. Highly recommend 2 nearby restaurant/bars, Westside Pub (great bar food) and Don Chilillo's (Mexican).We’ll be coming back in the future.

Great Place for Weekend at Ozarks Int'l Raceway

This place was perfect for two drivers and two crew members for a Track Date event at Ozarks International Raceway. Good proximity with plenty of grocery, gas, restaurants, etc. on the way to the track. Lots of living space and beds on a beautiful lake setting. Plenty of parking, including two garage stalls. We met the owners who were very friendly and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again if we return for another visit to the track. We had no issues during our stay.

Perfect Home for Large Family Vacation!

Our family of 6 had a wonderful weekend staying at this home. We especially loved the game room and our 4 teenagers appreciated being able to spread out and have their own rooms. Everything was clean, and it's a beautiful home! Loved the fun dock hang out area and all of the neighbors seem really friendly. Highly recommend!

Emerald Retreat - Wonderful Stay

Our hosts were so kind. Their home was the perfect retreat for our family. Plenty of room, very clean, lots of amenities. The cove was calm and made for perfect swimming conditions for our kiddos. Fun to see so many deer, turtles and fishing was good. We swam and boated every day as we had seven days of perfect weather!

Excellent Home and Renters!

My high school buddies and I reunite once a year and this year we chose the LOZ. This house was all we could ask for and more. It’s 3 levels with the top floor being a full bar and rec room along with 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. The middle floor had 2 more bedrooms and a bathroom. And the bottom floor had the full kitchen, laundry room, bathroom and a beautiful living room overlooking the cove. House also has a big dock which is a short walk off the back outside deck. The owners were great. We had a little trouble with the upstairs TV and it was fixed in a short time. Very friendly and responsive. Would recommend this house to anyone.

Paradise at LOTO

First let me start by saying if I could have given more stars, I would have. We have been coming to the Lake annually for several years and this house is by far, the best house we have ever stayed in. The house is perfectly designed to ensure that there is plenty of space for your entire family. Getting to the dock without having to use a ton of stairs was also nice change. Corey and Melody were amazing to work with. We spent a couple of hours speaking with them and could have spent more. The other neighbors in the cove are all friendly and very laid back. The only thing I would suggest is don’t over think your packing. Melody has gone out of her way to stock the house and has everything covered. Pack your clothes/amenities/food and beverages. You will not regret your stay here. Thank you again Corey and Melody. If we do not find our own we will be back next year!!

One of the Absolute BEST VRBOs!!!

This VRBO and the hosts - Melody and Cory - were absolutely AMAZING!!!! Truly one of the best VRBOs I've ever stayed in, and I've stayed in a lot, and I'm also picky. We had three moms and six preteen and teen boys on this trip. The house setup was ideal. Could not have been more perfect. Melody and Cory are the kindest, most awesome people. Melody greeted us when we arrived, letting us know she was there if we needed anything, and they responded to all of our text questions super fast. We all literally consider them friends now... that's how amazing they are. The house is the most stocked VRBO I've ever rented. From the kitchen to the bedrooms and bathrooms to the INCREDIBLE dock, Melody and Cory have thought of absolutely everything guests could need or want. The house was super clean and in a really great location, too. If I could give the house and the owners 10 stars... I 100% would! Thanks, Melody and Cory!!!

What a great house and great hosts!! Melody and Cody were so nice and accommodating. They made sure we had everything we needed and even left us cookies to welcome us. The house was perfect for our large group of adults and teens. The upstairs party room was huge and had so much to keep us entertained - pool table, darts, shuffleboard, great tv and sound system for movie nights. There was even a pickleball net that we could use right on the large driveway.The house was well stocked with everything you could need - grill, blackstone, kitchenware, towels, extra bedding. The outside area down by the dock was incredible. We were able to park our rental boat in the available boat slip. The location on mile 8 was perfect and close to a lot of restaurants.Great hosts , great house, great times, great memories! Highly recommend!
