Modern Lake Front House Lake of the Ozarks 4 bed 2 bath Dock Boat private MM44

Overall, we enjoyed the location and having a boat dock and the spaciousness of the house. However, the driveway is extremely steep so parking was a mess. The driveway is definitely not safe. The cleanliness of the house was pretty bad. Looks like they haven’t dusted in a long time. Spiderwebs and insects everywhere. The main floor bedroom had hardly anywhere to store clothing as drawers were filled and also a chunk of hair was just sitting on a shelf. The basement was musty and smelled weird. The steps to go upstairs are unsafe as there’s no guard rails. We were there at a chillier time, fireplace doesn’t work. We did enjoy being able to have a fire at night outside. The beds are not very comfortable. We just felt overall like the place was unclean. I wouldn’t stay here again, but it was fine overall.

We had a wonderful vacation and it was awesome to be able to rent the boat. Kitchen, dining area were fine. New decking above. There was garbage all over the property. The boat dock is in terrible shape making it worrisome when grandkids were playing. How this property is listed as sleeping twelve is crazy. One mattress on floor in basement. Three others like cots. Pull out bed terribly uncomfortable. No curtains on windows in basement and a window you can’t fully shut as they have an air system propped thru window to keep up with the house. I would not allow grandchildren to sleep down there. No one should. Two cot like beds in upstairs bedroom that squeaked to the point I threw a twin mattress on the floor and gave my daughter and family the king bed and my two teen grandchildren the queen. Comfortable sleeping I’d say 4. Had to tell my elderly parents they couldn’t come due to sleeping situation and driveway they wouldn’t have made it up and down. We barely did. Dust and cobwebs on vents fans and light fixtures. Kitchen area clean. Bre was fine to work with. Check in fine. This house is a house in progress with potential, but should be listed for what it is at this time. We planned this vacation for several months and to have to not let family come that had planned to a disappointment.

The slept our entire family of 8 comfortably, the parking is a little tricky but the host explains it well and we made it work. The private dock and quiet cove was enjoyed by all. Having a boat launch close the house was an added benefit as well. We enjoyed the location on MM44, it is definately a lot quieter and more to our liking than being at the lower mile markers.

Great location, but would not book again. Positives: cove location, kitchen, dining and living rooms. Negatives: grounds were covered with weeds and trash, home was not very clean (mold in the shower, building materials strewn about) and the dock was in disrepair. The hill to the house is very very steep with no steps, so avoid if there are any mobility issues. Be aware, the downstairs area is not on the main house HVAC and was very hot and humid even with the window unit and dehumidifier going. Host communication was very poor. No entry code to the home was provided before arrival. Even after messaging via the VRBO app, direct text to the host and call to the host no access code was sent for over half an hour. In addition, no wifi information was sent (password did not match info provided). Again, no answer (or sent same docs with wrong info) via VRBO message, direct text message or phone call. Took over 7 hours to get usable information from the host. All in all, would not book again.

Overall we enjoyed our time and had a good stay!

Home was in a great location on the water with plently of room and great amenities including pet friendly. Owners were easy to work with and very accommodating.

The neighborhood was great, quiet, and just what we were hoping for. The check-in process was more detailed and cumbersome than other VRBO properties we have rented. The owner required additional personal information after the reservation was confirmed, which was concerning. Also a long list of requirements--what we could bring, documenting anything that was damaged, etc. It didn't appear the housekeeping service documented or addressed issues between stays. There was a pile of trash at the driveway from the last renters. The walk from the street to the house was steep, uneven, and would be inaccessible for people with mobility issues. The lower level had a portable AC unit, and the hose disconnected during the night, waking up people in the room. The float for the lake had a large tear down the middle. There was poison ivy growing between the steps leading to the dock. The house itself was fine, but there are many other options in the area that would be better choices for a future stay.

We loved our stay and the place was perfect for our needs. The host was so responsive to everything. Would definitely stay here again!

Great place! A little older but perfect distance to the lake. Great dock for hanging out and swimming and fishing. Boat was wonderful to rent as well! Would definitely go again!

While there were some nice aspects of our stay - comfortable bed, easy check-in, quiet neighborhood, most needed items available at the home, family pets allowed - there were many aspects that didn't thrill us. We did not consider the home to be clean. The floors were very dirty, bugs/insects/ants in many places throughout the home. Flooring and grout were falling apart (dangerous for our crawling infant). There were many safety hazards throughout the home (uneven flooring/stairs, uncovered electrical outlets, loose wire piles, etc.). Had we not brought a 4-Wheel drive truck, we would have been stuck on the parking pad. The hill down to the house is VERY steep. The stairs walking down from the parking pad were closed off due to damage, so we had to walk up and down the steep, uneven/unrailed driveway. We were also disappointed when we had to cut our trip short and leave a night early. The county had a power outage, which unfortunately affected us. There were many reasons we needed power (due to our infant, among other things). We debated staying, but the power was out for hours, through sunset. We were unable to find any lanterns or natural light source in the home (no generator), so did not feel safe staying in the home in the dark, due to the safety hazards we encountered while there. While the outage was not the hosts fault, we were not offered any sort of compensation - due to the power returning after we left. Our final messages were not returned and acknowledged.
