The cottage comfortably accommodates up to six guests, with two well-appointed bedrooms. One of them featuring a comfortable Queen size bed and the other housing two bunk beds, ensuring a restful night`s sleep after your day`s adventures.

As captivating as the interior is, the true allure lies outdoors. Step onto the expansive deck, where an abundance of seating awaits. Whether you want to soak up the sun, share meals al fresco, or simply revel in the breathtaking vistas, this deck is the place to be.

For those warm summer nights, the screened-in porch provides an ideal spot to gather without worrying about insects. Listen to the symphony of crickets and frogs while relishing the cool evening breeze as it whispers through the surrounding trees.

When the sun sets, the magic of the fire pit comes to life. Gather around the crackling flames, roast marshmallows, and share stories under the starry night sky, creating cherished memories with your loved ones.

Located within a friendly community, you`ll have the perfect balance of privacy and camaraderie. Just down the road is a small public use boat ramp for easy access. Just across the lake is Cape Fair Marina.

    The property had everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen had all the utensils, pots, pans and small appliances needed, as well as a microwave and full size fridge. There was also a washer and dryer as well. The bathtub was very nice to soak in! The screened porch and the large deck were excellent, and well furnished. The lake was right off the deck and views were amazing! Many thanks, Amy!

    So beautiful! Property has a large deck over the lake and we spent 90% of the time that we were at the house on the deck. We were able to go to other activities within an hour. So it was a great location to venture out from. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and it would be our choice again on a future visit to the area.

    Very nice quiet and comfortable. If you need a quiet secluded place to relax and still have the comforts of home this is it.

    The property is very pretty and surroundings are peaceful. I took my 2 teenagers for a little getaway to spend time with each other before my daughter leaves for 10 months to study abroad. It was a lovely quiet place to be together and a short easy drive from spending a day in Branson.

    My daughter and I had a great stay. The first night the air conditioning wasn’t working so it was really warm in the cabin, but the next day a very nice gentleman came and fixed it. It was in a perfect location! We would really like to know where you purchased the chair in the bedroom. My daughter loved it and would like to find one for her apartment!

    My wife and I stayed there for several days. Normally we would have been on the lake every one of those days. However, the deck overlooking the water, and the coziness of the house, found us lounging for two days without hitting the water. The boat ramp is just two houses away and the Cape Fair Marina was just across the lake. We ate there several times. Overall, this is a great place to relax and enjoy the water.

    Property was exactly as described. The deck and lake views are stunning. We didnt catch any fish and was quite the drive to get to any type of store or restaurant but that is expected when looking for lakefront and quiet relaxation. Would return again if ever a need to be in this area.
