  My family of 5 stayed 3 nights. The place is nicely decorated, clean and had all the basics that we needed. We had a very relaxing long weekend. Host was very responsive and welcoming through text messages. Host provided a booklet with lots of local information that we found to be useful. I would consider this property again. Final note, {in my opinion} the 3rd bedroom with the triple bunks is most appropriate for younger/smaller individuals. Thank you for great weekend.

  Thank you Kathy, we’re glad you enjoyed your stay. Please come back in the future for more family lake time! The built in triple bunk is structurally sound enough to handle 250 plus pound adults and have xl mattresses, my own adult children use them. Of course, there comes a time when adults prefer not to sleep in bunks, and we understand that.

  The owner was great to deal with. She is super nice and very responsive. The house was super nice, it was decorated really nice and modern. I very much appreciated that the kitchen was stocked. I didn’t have to bring condiments or spices. They even provide a Keurig and pods! (We went and bought our own pods because we like our coffee stronger, but I’ve never stayed at a rental that provided that.) They even have an ice machine, which had ice in it when we got there. There is a washer and dryer and they provide soap and dryer sheets, and they even had seven beach towels, one for each of us!

  Access to the lake and dock are very easy without a million stairs. The deck was really nice and our boys enjoyed the fire pit one night. We didn’t have to haul our kayaks because they had kayaks that we could use and a paddle boat. One of the kayaks had a crack in the bottom, which was no big deal because we still had two to use. The paddle boat, the kids couldn’t get the steering to work, may have been user error.

  The water was like glass the entire time we were there. It is a very quiet part of the lake. We rented a boat from the marina nearby to take the kids tubing. (I suggest driving farther to a different marina. The boat was filthy, and the tube would not hold air. They did send us with a portable air blower which should have been a clue! We had to pull the tube in at least every 10 minutes and put air in it) the kids tubed for hours because the water was so calm. Two days later we drove to Osage Beach and rented a boat there. The boat was much cleaner and the tube held air, but the kids were absolutely exhausted because the water is so rough in that area.

  If you are looking for a quiet vacation, this is a great spot. One drawback is it is a long drive to get to anywhere. Count on 30 to 45 minutes to go to a grocery store. Another drawback is the water is very shallow off the dock with a mud bottom so the water is pretty dirty there. But those would be my only two complaints about our stay.

  From the owner: "We are so glad you enjoyed your family time at the lake. I will definitely follow up with the boat rental company. We have ordered replacement parts for the pedal boat, which lost its rudder assembly, and the kayak has been replaced with a new one. We appreciate you letting us know that those items needed attention.
  In order to provide a calmer and safer water sports environment, we, by necessity, are a little farther away from the tourist areas where you will find more shopping; this is why we highly recommend picking up groceries on your way to the property. Thank you for your comments; we hope to have you back!"
