Welcome to Shady Shores – Your Lakefront Escape in the Heart of the Action!
Get ready to experience the ultimate Lake of the Ozarks getaway at Shady Shores, a lakefront gem located in the highly coveted Shady Gators cove! Just minutes from all the excitement at Shady Gators, Lazy Gators, and Camden on the Lake (H. Toad’s), this home offers the perfect blend of convenience, relaxation, and unbeatable lake vibes.
This spacious retreat features three comfortable bedrooms and can easily sleep up to 12 guests — perfect for family vacations, couples retreats, or fun weekends with friends. You'll find two full bathrooms, both stocked with fresh linens, luxury towels, and complimentary toiletries to make your stay even more carefree.
The fully stocked kitchen and dining area offer everything you need to whip up meals at home, and our gourmet coffee bar ensures that your mornings start with a delicious brew — whether you’re fueling up for a day on the water or a night out at the lake’s hottest spots.
But let's be real — you won’t want to spend too much time indoors. Step outside and soak in panoramic 180-degree views of the sparkling main channel from not one, but two lakefront decks. Fire up the grill for a sunset barbecue, kick back in the private hot tub, or gather around the lakeside firepit for s'mores and late-night laughter under the stars.
Bringing a boat or jet ski? You’re in luck — Shady Shores offers its own private dock, with plenty of space to park your water toys safely during your stay. Spend your days cruising the lake, docking for lunch, or simply floating in the cove soaking up the sunshine.
Whether you’re here for a full-throttle party weekend, a chill lakeside recharge, or anything in between, Shady Shores puts you right where you want to be — close to all the action, but with your own private slice of waterfront paradise to come home to.
Amenities:
Extra outdoor fridge on upper deck
Patio furniture on both upper and lower level
Large sized iced cooler to take down to the dock to keep drinks cold on those hot summer days
BBQ Grill- Enjoy the evening grilling out on the flattop gas grill (propane is provided) with your family and friends on the upper deck. We also have a portable weber charcoal grill available (if you'd prefer using this grill, please bring your own charcoal)
Outdoor games (Cornhole and jumbo sized jenga)
Hot Tub with stunning views of the beautiful lake! (Main channel)
-A total of 3 parking spots directly in the front of the house (with 1 single carport)
Book your stay today and make memories that will last a lifetime at Shady Shores — where the best days happen by the water!
