    The house is amazing and couldn't ask for a better place to stay. The convenience of the boat ramp right next to the house is a major perk. We had issues with our boat trailer this trip so needed to stay at the house later than check out time and Julie was so accommodating. So nice to let us stay until the trailer was fixed. This is our second time renting this home and we'll definitely be back.

    We had such a great time during Memorial Day weekend, thanks Julie! The dock and outdoor area was perfect, great space and it was very peaceful. The location was also really nice, it didn’t feel too crowded but could also get to restaurants and the grocery story easy. The layout of the living room was perfect, our group hung out together all day and we couldn’t have asked for much more. Julie was also very nice and responsive, and even gave us some local restaurant recommendations which we really appreciated. Would absolutely recommend this place!

    This was a nicely decorated lake home. We enjoyed sitting on the patio and the window bar seating to watch the wildlife. Saw eagles every day. The dock was great. This was off season, so several neighbors were making improvements and creating some construction noise.

    Home was perfect for our stay. Very clean and had everything we needed while we were there. We had our fishing boats with us and the dock was very useful. With assistance from a neighbor we were even able to use the ramp right next to the property to put our boats in. Couldn't have found a better place to stay. The outdoor area was superb and made for great evenings sitting around relaxing after a day of fishing. I hate to give a fantastic review because it may become too popular and it may be booked the next time we try to reserve LOL. The only thing that could have been better was the location of the full baths. With all of the bedrooms being upstairs we had to share one full bath up there. The other full bath is downstairs next to the kitchen off the dining room. There were 4 adults there so we managed but it would have been nice to not have to go downstairs for the 2nd full bath. Seriously though it was perfect. Check it out. You will not be disappointed.

    The house is nicely layed out. With the bedrooms up and living space down. The dock is really nice and the water inlet quiet and beautiful. Would rent again.

    We loved this house - fit us all perfectly (10 people). We loved the location as well - further out from Osage Beach area but the cove was quiet and calm! Frog mat and other toys were great! Communication with host was fast and seamless. We will absolutely be back.

    The dock with the lily pad, paddle board, and kayaks were excellent! The dock was a perfect fit for the two jet skis we brought. No lake weeds and very easy to bring in and out into the cove. The house was clean and the property owner was very helpful and quick to respond. Absolutely will be returning next year.
