About this property
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.

We have loved coming here the past couple of years. It’s situated in a quiet part of the lake but still close to many attractions and town. Perfect for our family.
Beautiful home. So inviting with lots of space and every detailed considered. Great spacious dock with lots of area for gathering as a family, relaxing, fishing and swimming! We all agree that we would stay again!
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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!!
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!!!
An excellent house for a family vacation!! Melody is such a gracious and accommodating host, and we look forward to the opportunity to stay there again! Thank You!
This house has it all! Our family had a great vacation staying here. The house had lots of room and the dock was great. We spent a lot of time swimming off the dock. Lots of seating. Nice quiet cove.
The property exceeded all expectations! Plenty of things for all ages to enjoy! Everything was in working order and fully functioning so there was no unexpected surprises. All the grills had plenty of gas and utensils for use. Very very nice home, would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to stay in the area!
Wonderful family getaway! The house had plenty of room for all 10 of us and was fully stocked with everything you could need. The dock gave us hours of boating ang floating fun. Great location on the lake. Melody and Cory were very helpful. We will be back!
Great house with an excellent outdoor space including a dock with plenty of room to get some sun and places with shade to relax. The house is three levels with space and areas for all ages. Highly recommend and will book here again!
This was the third time that we have stayed at this vacation home. We keep coming back because of it's location, cleanliness, space and is well stocked. We can't say enough about Melody. She is amazing. We had some family issues this year and she was so accommodating and understanding. We definitely would recommend this place for you to stay.
Property could not have been better. Everything about the home inside and out was amazing. Highly recommend this property for anyone to rent. Hosts were awesome to work with.
2 families of 4 comfortably fit. The game room was a great hangout place, as well as the dock. The home is in a quiet cove with minimal wake and we were able to keep 2 boats in the slips. Great house!
It was a nice rental, lots of space for the family. House was clean and tidy. Air conditioner kept it pretty cool. The dock space is a little tight, but we had a blast.
We had a great time at Emerald Retreat. The house was fully stocked and clean. It had everything we needed and more! We really enjoyed the lake during the day and the game room every evening. Melody and Cory were amazing hosts! We had a group of 12 and had plenty of room. Definitely would recommend this property and hope to stay again!
Came down for a little weekend get away with 11 other friends for my birthday and had an excellent time! The house is very clean and spacious, nice, good bedroom sizes and the game room WOW! It is huge with a bar, pool table, darts, shuffle board and enough seating for everyone! Great experience we will definitely be back!
This is by far the best house we have stayed, and so far!! There was plenty of room for our family to not be on top of each other throughout the trip!
There were 9 adults and 3 kids 4-10. The home owner was more than attentive making sure our stay was incredible! I will be using this listing again!!!
