This is a spectacular house; every attendee of our reunion thought it was great! Nine bathrooms! - this was a huge factor in our decision to rent this property. Also, the property management was very responsive before and during our stay and clearly wanted to ensure that we were happy. Highly recommend.

We stayed three nights with a group of 14 people ranging in age from 3 months to 90 years-old and everyone had an amazing time! The house has everything you could need and space for everyone to gather but also maintain privacy when needed. We loved the location on the quiet cove. It was perfect for the kids to swim and play in the water. Truly a weekend to remember!

Beautiful Home for Family Vacation

This home is so beautiful and even outdid the pictures. My wife has 3 boys and I have 3 boys and this home was perfect to accommodate all of them and the girlfriends. Check in was very easy and the house was accommodating and very well supplied. The house is located at the end of the cove and the fishing was incredible. My wife enjoyed getting up early and watching the turtles in the cove and feeding the ducks while I fished. The whole house music system was great and the bar with the three televisions was the common place that everyone enjoyed including my 75 year old mother. Overall, we have been coming to the Ozarks for 9 years and this is by far the best accommodations we have ever had. Thank you so much.

The home is beautiful and the lake access with two docks in a quiet cove was perfect. We had 6 children under the age of 12 with us, and they loved swimming and fishing off the docks. There was plenty of room for all 16 of us to gather together or to find our own quiet spot. Beautiful property!

Fantastic for large family vacation

We had a fantastic stay! The layout was perfect for our family with bedrooms having attached bath. The house is well-designed with two kitchens and 3 refrigerators, making it easy to prepare meals and store everything we needed for a large group. We used the upper living room area for our kids to sleep. All beds, including the pull out couch were super comfortable!The downstairs area was definitely a highlight, with a great bar setup and plenty of seating for the whole family to gather and hang out. Even on rainy days, the covered decks gave us a great space to relax and play games like bean bags.The location was ideal—close to grocery stores and restaurants, but still peaceful and private. The dock area was huge, easily accommodating two boats, and was a great spot for relaxing by the water.The house was spotless and very well stocked with everything we needed. Communication with the host was excellent—they were very responsive and helpful with any questions or issues.We would absolutely stay here again!
