Thunder Cove 8MM - Close to Everything

This property is top notch. Close to everything. Great dock for the family at the water. Great areas for big family meals and card games. We all had such a great experience.

We really enjoyed our stay for the week! Our family loved the dock and the house was plenty big enough for 8 adults and 2 kids.

This house is a great location!! It has everything we needed from the toys to the kitchen gadgets. The living area inside is on the smaller side, along with the kitchen but we made it work. We spent a lot of time on the multiple decks and of course the dock. It would’ve been nice to have the jet ski ramp available.

Charlie was a great host! Our two families enjoyed the house. The Lake Dock, Toys, and Iceberg the kids named Bob, were the biggest hits. We played in the lake from sun up to sundown. Rented a Tritoon from Lake Time Rentals, they delivered to the dock and returned the boat too. The facility and rooms were great. We held a fun competition of family games to see which family won the Family Cup this year. So they Ping Pong, Pool table, family room, outside multiple patios came in very handy. Communication was easy and direct with Charlie. We shared some recommendations and he made them to assist future renters. Overall a great location. Propane Fire place outside was a hit too. Thank you Charlie.

Very nice, second stay at this property

This house was perfect for our group. It was very clean and well equipped. The outdoor spaces are fun, especially the dock. We used the fire pit for s’mores as well as the Blackstone and Weber grill for meals. We would definitely consider staying again.

We had a great time. There were 13 of us in total ranging in age of 7- 68! The house was beautiful and the view was amazing.

This property is an excellent choice for a family vacation. Our group of 8, 4 adults and 4 kids, had plenty of space. It was spotless and the amenities were wonderful. The kids spent several hours every day using the dock area. They loved the jumping platform, the water slide, climbing to the top of the mountain and the floating platform. We played ping pong and pool many times. It was just a wonderful week for all of us! The owner was always available and was very easy to communicate with! Overall, this is one of the best vacations we’ve had!

We had a great week at this lake home. There were 13 in our party (ages 4 through 70) and there was plenty of room for all of us. The home had amazing lake views, was clean, and the beds were very comfortable. The Weber and Blackstone grills were a huge plus, and we did all of our cooking outside. When we weren't out boating, the kids really enjoyed the dock complex and were so excited about how many fish they caught. The home sits on a quiet cove (during the week at least) that was great for skiing and was a perfect location for getting to some of the popular restaurants. We also enjoyed Indian Rock Golf Club that was about 5 minutes from the house. We would definitely return. Things I wish I knew beforehand: Bass Point Resort is the best place to launch a boat that we found. It's the second closest ramp (under 10 minutes by car) but was way better than the closest (Millstone). Lake Shores was right across from Bass Point and also looked pretty good. You can only park a loaded boat trailer on the road above the property for a short time. It was a little tricky backing an empty 25ft trailer down the steep driveway, but it worked and there was still room for probably three vehicles. The boat slip worked well once we figured out the best way to tie up the boat, but there were some large wakes that came into the dock that bounced the boat around pretty hard.

Great place! The location is excellent – nice relatively quiet channel, but close to main channel. Easy boat ride over to H. Toads or Shady Gators for food & drink and entertainment. Next door is nice little fuel station open on weekends. Can land boat at either Bass Point Resort ($10) or Lake Shores Marina ($5) which are just around the corner. The home was well kept. Beds were comfortable. Layout was solid. Plenty of outdoor living space. Parking was great. Two fridges was nice to have. Laundry room was excellent. The downstairs entertainment area was great – very large TV, bar with amenities, couches, and pool/ping pong table. The real show was the dock! Sure, a few steps up and down but size and layout were great! They have nice inflatable items – a pad for lounging and a climbing structure. The dock has a jumping platform (8 feet), water slide (with water running down it) and easy to climb ladder. The water was nice and deep off the end of the dock. There’s an empty boat slip and the dock is big enough for a large group to be out there – both with swimmers and those enjoying the sun. We found ourselves on the dock more than the house! The fishing in the area was solid – crappies, bluegills, bass, & catfish. And, the water temp was amazing - 85 degrees F surface temp - in mid-Aug. It is a windy, gravel road to the place – but fairly easy to navigate. We really enjoyed the donuts from Donut Palace in the nearby town of Laurie, half price pizza on Tuesday at Alley Cat’s in Lake Ozark, and a ‘beach day’ at Franky & Louie’s Beachfront Bar & Grill. The owner was very communicative and did a great job of laying out all of the details, etc. If you are eyeing this place, you should book it with confidence!
