Description Description
As you head out away from the home to explore the greater Lake Ozark area, take the short drive or boat ride to stop in for a meal at Tap & Grill Lakeside Brew Haus, the lake’s first and only lakefront micro brew pub, or discover all the shopping options at the Millstone Marina. Head out by boat to the Bagnell Dam to snap some photos at the scenic overlook, stopping in for lunch and shopping on the strip located along the shoreline. A scenic cruise along the winding waterway in just about any direction will take you additional delicious dining options, including H. Toads and Franky & Louie’s, just to name a couple.

Indoors, soaring vaulted ceilings sit atop open spaces designed to maximize your downtime while keeping those preferential lake views front and center at all times. Sink into plush sofa seating in the living room while you stream all your favorite entertainment on the smart TV, the views keeping the ambiance relaxing all season long. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to whip up all your favorite homecooked meals, with stainless steel appliances and plentiful countertop space and cabinetry for preparation and storage. Gather around the table to dine on your fare, afterward clearing the dishes to host a fun-filled family game night for the ages.

We enjoyed our stay at this location. It was clean and welcoming. My only complaint is guests don’t have access to the fireplace which wasn’t clear to me before I booked or I may not have booked here. Having a fireplace was one of my big criteria I was looking for in a place. It was in the pictures and it wasn’t til we were there the first night that we were told guests don’t have access to it. We were celebrating 35 years of marriage and a romantic fire would have been nice. That being said, there was a fire out outside, which was nice.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for choosing to stay with us for such a special occasion — congratulations again on 35 years of marriage! We truly appreciate your kind words about the cleanliness and welcoming feel of the place. I’m very sorry for the misunderstanding regarding the fireplace. We do note in the listing description that the indoor fireplace is not available for guest use, but I understand how that could have been missed, especially when browsing photos. I appreciate you bringing this up, and we’ll look at how we can make that detail even clearer for future guests. We’re glad you were still able to enjoy the outdoor fire feature, and we truly hope the rest of your anniversary getaway was memorable and special. We’d love to host you again anytime!

The best part is the walk to the dock. It truly is a very gentle slope with no steps. It’s right out the back door. There was plenty of room for 11 of us(5 preteen/teens and 6 adults). My parents stayed on the bottom floor in the master bedroom and everyone used the shower or bath in that room at some point. It is HUGE! Everything we needed was provided. We always travel to LOTO with a boat so it was great there was trailer parking nearby at no cost. It is a few minutes drive to the closest boat ramp though. A second king bed upstairs was accommodating. One full bath upstairs and a half bath downstairs so we didn’t have to run up and down stairs all day. The grill worked great. Easy check in and out instructions and very responsive host to texts. We also had 2 bass boats and were able to tie off at the dock with ease. This house is nice and we would stay here again.

Thank you so much for your detailed and kind review! We're so glad the property worked well for your group and that you enjoyed the easy access to the dock, the spacious layout, and the responsive communication. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the early check-in charge. The reason we charge an additional fee is that our cleaners incur extra costs if their cleaning schedule is disrupted, which is why we have to implement that fee for early arrivals. We hope you understand, and we’re glad it all worked out in the end! We’d love to have you stay again. Thanks again for choosing our property!

We loved being so close to the water and the sun coming up over the lake was spectacular. Our whole group spent a lot of time between the patio and the dock. The deer came into the back yards and were very close so we got a good look at them. We definitely would visit again

Overall we had a great time. Plenty of sleeping room. My biggest complaint was the kitchen items like pots and pans have a lot of wear and tear and not seeming very clean but wasn’t a huge problem.

It’s great to know it didn’t take away from your stay, and we’d be happy to host you again in the future!
