Deck & Lake Views: Modern Eagle Rock Gem

We were close to our favorite fishing spot: Roaring River and familiar drive to Branson. Rooms were clean and very comfortable living and kitchen.

I rented this house specifically for the amount of beds they offered. There were 6 beds upstairs and 3 beds downstairs in the basement. It seemed perfect. It was close to town and right on the lake. We were about 1 hour away from Eureka Springs when we received a text from the owner telling us there was a problem with the gutter system a couple days prior and it caused water to get into the basement as well as a smell. The owner stated they put a humidifier and a fan in the basement and it's helping. Upon arrival, the house smelt like complete cat urine. We went down to the basement and the basement was even worse. The carpet was drenched with stains all over it. The humidifier and fan in question were in the very back not doing much at all. There was standing water in a hole as well as exposed wiring. I did not feel comfortable allowing anyone to sleep down there due to the potential health risks from who knows how many leaks. Thankfully we were able to all make sleeping upstairs work but it was not comfortable for quite a few people. I reached out to get some sort of partial reimbursement since we were unable to use half of the living space and weren't made aware until the day of which caused us to not be able to find anywhere else to go, and got declined. Bottom line is if you rent this house for the number of beds, beware of the basement having potential health risks for anyone that sleeps down there from who knows how many floods they've had.

Lovely, comfy home with so much space! Very clean, comfy beds, plenty of bathrooms with nice towels and hot water. Enjoyed the extras like board games, puzzles, and ping pong table, back porch with lake view. Excellent location for daily trips to Eureka Springs, Promised Land Zoo, Roaring River, Dogwood Canyon, Silver Dollar City, and Branson - and of course sits on Table Rock Lake with swimming and boat launch a skip away (hosts even provide beach towels!). Groceries not too far away, some great cafes in area including Depot Diner in Golden.

This home worked out well for us. Loved the number of bathrooms. Helps so much when coming in off the lake. The only problem we had was the really dirty, grease filled outdoor grill. And maybe even the neighbor that kept walking up to front porch dropping off his trash in the trash barrel. It was so full we had to take trash with us.

Overall, the trip was great. The location of the house in Eagle Rock and the surrounding nature was the exact reason we choose this house, along with its private setting. We were not aware, however, of another house or property being built practically in the backyard, with workers occasionally stopping by to work on it (including with a bulldozer at one point), but overall it didn’t affect the trip too much. Other issues we encountered were: a dead automatic door lock which needed battery replacement while we were there in order to lock the door when we left the property, a dirty grill which we had to buy supplies to clean ourselves, and a hot tub that would not heat up. While these issues definitely weren’t ideal, quick and easy communication with the host solved our door problems, and while the others were a bummer we were still able to enjoy the gorgeous area and our trip as a whole.

This home was absolutely perfect for our family! There is tons of space and sleeping areas. We loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom. Everything was super clean! The host was quick to respond to messages and check in was a breeze. Eureka Springs is a short drive away. We hope to return!
