The Whiskey Barrel Bunkhouse was a wonderful place for us to stay while visiting friends on the lake! Rod is a super nice guy and a true artist. We were amazed at his handiwork throughout the whole place. The pictures don’t do it justice. We had everthing we needed in the bunkhouse and on the patio and dock. We were pleased with the available kayaks and paddleboards available so we didn’t have to pack our own. We would definitely book the bunkhouse again. Thank you so much Rod!

The Whiskey Barrel bunk house is quite spacious. The open concept living room and kitchen is decorated with cattle ranch decor. All hand crafted by the owner. All very high end and top notch!The living room has a nice sectional couch and 2 large screen tv’s. The bedroom also has a tv! Everything was well stocked with anything you might need and spotless. Highly recommend!

Great Bunkhouse!

Our family if 5 loved staying at the Bunkhouse! It was way more spacious than we expexted with plenty of room for our family of 5 (2 adults, 3 kids ages 17, 15 and 8). We had really crummy weather during our stay, but stillgot to use the lilly pad one afternoon and fished off the dock in the rain. We loved the easy access to the dock. The kids were already planning our next stay before we left
Breakfast at the "whiskey barrell bar" each morning
We fished off the covered dock in the sunshine and rain

We loved staying at this property. The attention to detail and the quiet location is perfect for the relaxing getaway we needed to recharge. Beautiful space to unwind. The home had everything we needed and the dock has plenty of space to swim, float, fish or just sit and enjoy the sunset. Plenty of sunshine and shade for us and our pup! We can’t wait to come back next year.

Just perfect

The house has a lot of love, thought and creativity put into it by the host/owner. It was fun staying in a themed home that is not water themed. The Western/cowboy theme was really fun. The craftsmen ship was spectacular. Very well thought out. Roomy, easy to access, easy to find, easy to park. The weather didn’t cooperate to use the water toys but there are many provided. A very nice patio area is available too. We enjoyed our stay and conversations with the owner. We hope to stay again someday.

River Randy @ Whiskey Barrel Bunkhouse

Kim and I had a wonderful time at the Whiskey Barrel Bunkhouse. Spacious and cozy. Well equipped in the kitchen and bathroom. There is a lot of really nice craftmanship items to use and look at. Access to the dock is easy. Plenty of campfire wood and a nice area to use it. Very close to restaurants, grocery stores and the bait shop. Our focus was on fishing, but we really had a good time relaxing at the bunkhouse and looking at the scenery around it. We look forward to returning.

Perfect for Weekend Stay

I stayed at this property while I was in town for an event at the Ozarks International Raceway. Hotels are too far after a long day at the track and I just needed something simple and nearby. This worked perfectly for me!

Amazing Place To Stay!!

Rod is a super host, friendly and so are his fur babies. Attention to detail is evident through out the entire cabin. Superb hand made woodwork. Quiet and love the deer, chipmunks, fox and squirrels. If someone is wanting the most relaxing weekend of the year this is the place to be. We didn't get to enjoy the water but I bet that would have been great also. Bill & Marci & Iris (Furbaby)

Fun whiskey barrel/western theme… There are so many cool things to look at inside. Every detail is done with such quality craftsmanship & is so well thought out. We more than had everything we needed. The location is very quiet & peaceful. We tried to take advantage of all of the amenities… went out in the peddle boat, used the kayaks & the paddle boards.osmart tv
