Camdenton, Missouri
This unique Limestone house was constructed 80 years ago from stone quarried from the property. The house sits on 20 acres and is very private. It was added on and the interior remodeled in the 1960s and just again in late 2019. It is bordered by a park on one side and HaHaTonka State Park on three sides. It is set on a picturesque bank of the Bank Branch Creek that flows into the Lake of the Ozarks. Except right after a rain, the water is 2 ft to 5 feet deep with little to no current, crystal clear and perfect for swimming , kayaking and fishing right outside your door! You can Kayak right into Lake of Ozarks which is a block downstream. There are two double and one single Kayaks , and paddle boards for use at the house. An old iron bridge from the late 1800's completes the setting for this retreat.
If you desire a quiet and private home setting yet within 10 minutes of downtown Camdenton, and all the shopping you could want within a half hour, this is it. There are many beautiful golf courses within a half hour drive and the famous Kinderhook GC is a mere 12 minutes away. A large public boat launch, Larry Gale Center is 12-15 minutes to launch your boat. Many hiking trails are 1 mile away at the Ha Ha Tonka State Park Center with its Castle, waterfalls and caves to explore. The park property surrounds the house. It is rated the best state park in Missouri.
This family oriented house has 4 newly remodeled bedrooms and three baths. The master bedroom and two guest rooms have new queen beds. The fourth bedroom has two sets of bunkbeds with trundle bed. There is a newly remodeled large kitchen and family room with unbelievable views. Can sleep up to 11 in beds and 2 more on pull out couch.
Everyone who sees the house is just mesmerized by the setting and the views! It is a stone house set in the middle of nature.
There is an outdoor grill and fire pit for the evenings. The house is oriented so you can enjoy the deck, privacy and the outdoors. The setting is perfect to spend quality time with friends and family.
This is truly a one-of-a-kind property. When you pull up to a house and need to cross an old bridge to get to it, you know you're in for a unique experience (we soon learned there is a road behind the property that also goes to the highway, so using the bridge isn't a necessity). There are pros and cons, but the pros far outweigh the cons. The house is old and has undergone an addition and a renovation. There's still a lot of upkeep that needs to be done, which the owners seem to be doing little by little. There is also a vacant home right next door (on the same property) which the owners are planning to renovate within the next year. There is a lot of space in the house which is really nice. The kitchen has a huge table to seat everybody. One complaint is the lack of kitchen accessories. Spatulas, another skillet, more coffee mugs, etc, a few of the main things I recall. Also I wish they had a regular coffee maker; there is only a Keurig. These are small complaints compared to the overall greatness of this house though! The location on the water is incredible. It is always crystal clear and calm. Fishing off the bridge, paddling around in a kayak or tube, or just floating around, it was so nice. We spent most of our time outside on the deck playing games and by the fire pit. They should put new pics on the site because it's better than it looks. Being in Ha Ha Tonka was great, what an amazing park. Limited internet and cell service, but sort of worked. Overall: LOVED IT.
We had 6 adults and kids from 5-14. Good time for hanging out with family relaxing, visiting, game, fishing,floating on paddle boards and kayaks. Swimming was a little tricky. Entering water at he house isn’t the easiest nut a short walk to sand bar and beach worked great. Be sure to bring some lawn chairs for sitting around fire pit as there were none. The house is very spacious and supplies in the kitchen were pretty good. Very easy access to activities in town and to Ha Ha Tonka State Park. We really had a great family get together.
We rented this property with the goal of connecting with our young adult sons (23 and 24). They came and went as their work schedules allowed. The old stone house is right on the creek but away from the bustle of the lake. It is truly the most peaceful place we’ve ever stayed. If you go, take a good camera - we saw a great Blue Heron every day, otters, turtles, deer, hummingbirds, and more. The water us so clear you can see to the bottom, and the fish are plentiful. The guys caught everything from bass to catfish, with one catch of a 15 inch large mouth bass. The house itself is very comfortable with good mobility access - lots of common space for “friendly” games of Hearts and Poker, but bedrooms upstairs for privacy too. The owner provides paddle boards and kayaks, and our boys explored the lake this way for a full day. The house is also minutes from the Castle Ruins and the Spring trails at HaHa Tonka State Park. We loved our time hiking. Missouri knows how to do state parks! The internet is as advertised - good for checking email - which means everyone is present and not consumed by their phones. That was priceless! We highly recommend this place for families who want to enjoy each other and make some memories. We sure did!
Absolutely beautiful home in a tranquil setting. Felt like we were a million miles away from reality, yet, still very close to shops and restaurants. HaHa Tonka State Park is beautiful and a must see! We spent one of the days floating in the creek right in front of the house (it was my favorite day)! Highly recommend this property!
This large house is well appointed with lots of comfy seating and beds. The kitchen had everything we needed. It has a HUGE washer and dryer. The A/C runs cold, the bathrooms are updated and they have fluffy towels. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards. It's very close to a lot of hiking trails and just a 20 minute drive to the store. It's a quiet, unplugged place to stay. No TV, lots of games and a pool table. It was a great place to stay for 7 large adults, we had plenty of room!!!
We had a fantastic time. The house was very clean and the extra options for entertainment (pool table, paddle boards, fire pit, etc) made the trip a lot of fun for our kids.
This is a really interesting property with a lot of history. It is a large stone home with big rooms and windows that face the creek. You can swim, fish and kayak out front. Great golf and hiking are just a few minutes away. I recommend a trip to the state park. FYI - there is limited internet and television. Bring a hot-spot if you need internet access.
This place had everything you could need. Plenty of room. Loved the pool table and the beautiful creek.
Our family loved this property and the memories made while staying there. We had two toddlers with us, and they had a blast! The adults enjoyed the view, kayaking and exploring the nature trail. We had family movie night inside with the projector TV after enjoying a peaceful bonfire and view of the stars. There were plenty of wildlife to see as well, including a massive turtle in the spring and a beautiful water snake showing off its hunting skills.
We all really enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect and we really, really loved playing in the creek. From Kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing and just sitting creek side, we loved our stay and the location to Ha Ha Tonka State Park. Having your own private historic bridge was so unique and never would've imagined was even an offering at a vacation rental.
Memories are what we made at this house. Lots of room for the littles to run and the adults to enjoy. The paddle boards and the kayaks were wonderful along with all the toys. We cooked at the house for all of our meals and used the washer and dryer. Rent this house to make your family memories. We are planning for next year already.
This was our second visit. The location is perfect for us. We enjoy floating and visiting with each other. The kayaks were fun. We played games and enjoyed each other's company. First rate trip!
This property is a nice place to stay at. The creek that runs thru is excellent for lounging in. Rooms are spacious. Amenities are great. Well stocked. One word of caution though.. don't cross the bridge in vehicles and the road to the house you need a SUV or truck to not bottom out. Luckily all of us had that and it was a great stay! Dean was easy to get ahold of and super nice!
Really enjoyed this location, lots to do. Especially enjoyed the hiking in the state park, swimming in the water, paddleboards were a hit, fishing was good. Large outdoor area was great for visiting - we enjoyed a music concert from a family member. We had a competitive pool tournament one night. Large dining seating was great for our lunches. Something for everyone (ages 7 to 75) to do. Thanks for the wonderful time with family that we do not get to see often.
A wonderful place to relax and enjoy the beauty of the Ozarks. A beautiful large family home that will accommodate a large group with lots of extras such as kayaks, life vests, board games, and a pool table. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there.
Really enjoyed our stay. Liked being a little off the beaten path and the kids loved the paddle boards and the river. We’ll equipped kitchen. Ha Ha Tonka is a few minutes away and a wonderful park. Internet was iffy at times but with so much to do it was not a major issue. Had a great night around the fire pit stargazing. Owner checked in to make sure everything was in order. Would visit again!
GREAT
