The Little Black Shack is the best house we have ever rented while staying at the lake! The description of the property is accurate, the house is clean and nicely decorated with all the extras that you may need! We enjoyed swimming and fishing from the dock. We stayed Sun-Fri, this house is on the main channel so the water can be a little rough but we were still able to enjoy the water while we were there. The sunsets from the deck are amazing!

The house is great! Plenty of room for a big group with lots of amenities. The main channel location can be daunting if you're not used to the lake but we found that early in the week there are less waves and the larger waves on the weekend were quite fun!

The sunsets!!

Beautiful property that had everything we needed and more! Our 3 year old loved the s’mores basket and we were able to use so many of the amenities. There were a ton of bugs inside the house when we arrived so that was a bit icky, but they don’t come in if you’re quick to go in and out of the doors. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Get place to start at the Ozarks!

We had a fantastic family vacation at the Little Black Shack at the Ozarks. It was an amazing house that was newly remodeled and very clean. The deck was so awesome with couches, swings and large picnic table. It had beautiful views of the lake. We hope to return again someday and would definitely recommend it to our family and friends. Thanks so much from the Hamilton’s from Omaha!

The house has been very well renovated, the views were wonderful and the styling of the house was beautiful and very efficiently laid out. It was a perfect size for our family of 6 adults and 3 kids. The deck space was abundant and we spent a lot of time out enjoying the views on the various levels. We had small children with us, and while they were always supervised outside, it felt much safer than other lake houses we’ve stayed at. Chad was also very responsive with questions and flexible as we requested to add a night to our stay after we arrived to the house and he was able to accommodate. We would be very happy to stay again.

Our first family vacation with the adult children & grandchildren

Beautiful views throughout the home. Nice amount of room for the whole family to enjoy the outdoors all together as well as inside. The adults enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere while the kids enjoyed the fishing & other water activities. The walk to the dock was a shorter distance than it looks in the pictures, so that was a welcome surprise. I think I can speak for all of us that we would recommend and love to stay again.

Family Vacation

The house was great and accommodated two familys with two children each. They had everything that you could ask for. We only had one draw back and that was have to take our trash the Y and pay $3.50 for kitchen trash bags and $5 for big black trash bags. The owner was great and responsive and was easy to get a hold of. We would love to stay with them again.

The Little Black Shack exceeded our expectations!!!

As soon as we walked in we were blown away by this gorgeous home and beautiful view!! It was immaculate and stocked with games, books, and a lovely s’mores welcome basket. We rented a pontoon boat, delivered right to the private dock, and loved being able to come and go on the water. But our favorite activity was relaxing on the dock, swimming, and laying out on the giant lily pad!!

As Good as Advertised!!

The place is perfect for a family or group, plenty of places to sleep and 3 full bathrooms! Kids loved the bunk bed room and the teenager loved the newest addition - the bunk room, attached to the deck- for some privacy from the little ones! We enjoyed the deck in the morning, especially the two swing chairs. The dock was perfect for our boat. Very clean, all the amenities and an owner who answered our call - can't beat that!! Excellent!

Lovely stay in thoughtfully designed space

This place looks just as it does in pictures -- newly renovated with clever touches all over. The bedrooms and common spaces are maybe each a bit small if you fill up on sleeping capacity, but with the overflow space outside our group of 6 adults and 3 small kids were very comfortable. Appreciated the host's ready communication throughout. Only downsides were BYO shower supplies and beach towels, and you have to carry your own trash up the road. But overall definitely recommend! Beautiful property.

Great space

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the little black shack. The remodel has been done outstandingly by whom ever designed and built it. We love the deck we love the master suite, we like that there were three bathrooms, we like that we had access to television and the networks we wanted. Overall great stay. We will go again. The steep drive can be an issue if you have any mobility issues. Be advised this property is on the main channel.

Lake house extraordinaire!

I've spent much of my life at the Lake of the Ozarks. I've seen a lot of places. This one's the best. It is utterly charming. The rooms are outstanding. So are the views of the main channel on the 30 mile marker. The kitchen is just right, too. (We don't have young children anymore, but our 20-year-old daughter LOVED the hammock in the bunk-bed room!) There is so much deck space here. We truly loved our stay. Highest recommendation!
