Big Bear Bungalow

Get ready to take full advantage of the winding waterways of the Lake of the Ozarks from this newly updated home set right along its shoreline! You’ll be primed and ready for a fun-filled vacation by water or by land, no matter the season. Whether you’re traveling as a group of friends or an extended family, Big Bear Bungalow offers enough room for everyone to spread out and find their own private space to call home. Near the 40 Mile Marker of the main channel, this more serene part of the lake is perfect for all water-themed activities such as swimming, floating, fishing, kayaking, and as many boating adventures as you can imagine. Just 10 minutes out from the town of Laurie, you’ll be within easy reach of delicious local dining spots like Phat Sal’s and Val’s, or pop into the charming coffee shops of Mo Java and Omega Coffee for your morning fix. If you’d rather explore by boat, waterfront dining is in abundance just a short ride from the home. Should you encounter a rainy day or two, don’t be discouraged as there’s plenty more to do away from the water. Axe throwing, bowling, movie theaters, and shopping will keep you and the kids busy all day long. A bit further out, you can be in Osage Beach or Camdenton for even more entertainment options.

Guests will have access to communal outdoor amenities shared with the home's sister property just next door such as the spacious, partially shaded two-tiered dock with 10X30 boat slip, two PWC lifts, beachfront firepit with Adirondack seating, lounge area, and barbeque grill. You can already picture yourself down by the water with a good book and refreshing beverage in hand, listening to the waves lap gently against the shore. Dine al fresco on the gorgeous back deck at the shaded dining table with seating for 10 or relax on the outdoor sofa while you soak up the ample sunshine.

Heading indoors, the brightly lit, modern interior is a welcome respite from outdoor adventure. Its open floor plan is conducive to gathering and entertainment, all the while keeping the views of the tranquil water front and center. Kick up your feet on the living room’s U-shaped sofa while you stream a movie on the large, mounted smart TV. Steps away, the stylish kitchen is a chef’s dream, fully stocked with stainless steel appliances and all the cookware and dining ware you’ll need to prepare delicious meals right from home. The sizeable island can serve as an option for meal prep or dining on the high-top barstools for 8, or seat together for formal meals at the table for 10.
