Great room couch/dining area. Note the view of trees thru oversized windows.
Location: Lake Ozark, Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri, USA (15 minutes from Osage Beach)
Accommodations: House, 4 Bedrooms + Loft, 3 Baths (Sleeps 16-26)
Keywords: lakefront
Designed from the ground up with large family gatherings in mind, this 2,800 square-foot lake home has four spacious bedrooms, each over 200 square feet, and three spacious baths, the smallest over 70 square feet. In the main level, a 23 foot cathedral ceiling exposes oak beams and a tongue-and-grove oak ceiling, adding to the spacious feel of the 800 square foot Great Room. Two 8’ dining tables comfortably seat 16. Two full-sized leather couches provide plenty of seating with a terrific view of the lake and woods. The television is located in the lower level common area so the kids’ movie and game noises don’t interfere with conversation elsewhere. But it can be moved to the great room so everyone can enjoy an evening movie. The loft provides an extra sleeping area and has been the location of many spirited foosball matches.
The 360 square-foot cedar deck feels like an extension of the Great Room because of the over-sized windows. The deck is pleasantly shaded by the house in the morning and by oak trees in the afternoon.
Our home is built on 100 feet of heavily wooded shoreline. You can keep your boat(s) in either of our dock slips (10x28 and 10x24)(...However, ask about the availability of our second boat slip). The dock also has a 300 square foot swim platform with a six-foot tall slide into the lake. And our cove location allows for safe, protected swimming away from boat traffic, while still providing a wonderful view of the lake and easy access to the main channel.
Our VRBO is also a VRBBO (vacation rental built by owners), completed in July 2008. The project began with the owners, two brothers, cutting down dead oak trees, milling them into timbers, and then shipping the entire frame on a semi-trailer to the lake. It's been a family project the whole way with over 5,300 hours of volunteer work contributed by family and friends. Although it's been challenging at times, it's also been very rewarding, and we're excited to share the completed project with our guests.
Design Layout and Wheelchair Accessibility:
The main level, with access to the driveway and deck, includes the kitchen, dining area, living area, master bedroom, and bathroom. The entire main level is wheelchair accessible, including 36 inch doors throughout, a ramp from the driveway into the main door, and a grab bar next to the toilet. If someone in your group has difficulty with stairs, they will find everything they need conveniently located on the main level. The lower level consists of three bedrooms, all facing the lake, and two bathrooms.
Sleeping Arrangements:
One bedroom has two queen beds (sleeping four). Two bedrooms each have one queen bed (sleeping four). The bunk room has two queen bunk beds (four queen mattresses, sleeping eight) and beneath the bunks are a twin and full mattress that can be pulled out (sleeping 3). If you have children in your gathering they’ll love camping out together in this room. Or, feel free to move the full and twin mattresses to another room to better suite your family sizes and sleeping arrangements. Finally, there are three queen mattresses in the loft (sleeping 6). Up to 26 can sleep on mattresses, or up to 13 adults can each have a mattress to themselves. Your whole party can sleep comfortably under one roof. (For those of you doing the math, the 26th spot is in the crib.)
Location and Convenience:
Located at mile marker 4 on the North Shore, this home is located 15 minutes or less from: Bagnell Dam, Lake Ozark, Osage Beach, HyVee, Wal-Mart, go-kart tracks, miniature golf, golf, shopping, health care, and a wide variety of restaurants and bars. A convenience store, with a surprising variety of goods, is less than two miles away. Adventure Marine is a good choice for boat and waverunner rentals, and it is located less than ten minutes away.

Celebrating our son's 30th Birthday!
Guest: David and Jackie Vogt- VERY happy renters!!!!!

We just got back from our lake trip celebrating our son's 30th birthday. When you book a home over the internet, you can't help but to be nervous about what you are going to actually see when you arrive. While I worried the entire trip to the lake, I was so happy when we arrived. The house was amazing and the way it was built, was great for a large party! We enjoyed it very much. I was also very impresssed with the way the kitchen was stocked. While we brought lots of food and actually pre-ordered or Friday evening meal, the kitchen was amazing. I loved how people left things and we did the same thing. While we had plenty of our own goodies, it was nice to see the sharing of people. We had a crab legs and shrimp boil Saturday evening. Sat everything up our front of the house and made it so easy and convenient to the kitchen. The weekend was perfect!!!! We also loved the swim dock and slide. Everyone enjoyed the floating devices and we even left some behind for the next group. I cleaned the house before we left so I hope the cleaning lady liked that. She was also very nice too! I will say that if one thing was a negative, it was that the trash cans were all full when we arrived but thank goodness we had a big truck and that became our dumpster until we took it to be dumped early Sunday morning. But that's pretty awesome when only one thing is a negative!!!! Thank you Scott for the ease of booking the house as well as talking with us on Saturday morning when the power went out after the crazy storm that blew in Friday night!!!!! Our son was very happy with everything and so were his friends!!!!!

19 friends and I spent 4 awesome days at this rental! The house itself is beautiful and well-maintained. The owner clearly takes good care of his house and renters, and is very welcoming of pets! I would definitely recommend this house for large groups, family reunions etc. There are quite a few stairs down to the dock, however, so it might be a little tough for the very young or very old to navigate. Once you make it down to the dock, the owner has a huge selection of fun floats. We also had fun fishing off the dock! Thanks again for a wonderful stay!

Dad's 8oth birthday

Your home was a wonderful venue for Dad's 80th birthday. It was beautiful and relaxing and had many nooks for people to escape to as needed, whether it was out on the deck...down to the dock...up to the loft etc. We did use a lot of paper products, but your kitchen was great. One family member brought a Bunn coffee pot to keep up with the crowd and two brought roaster ovens to help make a roast beef dinner for 32.

Labor Day Weekend

I rented the lake house over Labor Day Weekend and everything was more than we could have asked for. The living space on the first floor was great for a large group, and the sleeping arrangements worked out perfectly, I think everyone had a bed. The deck had a great view and the dock also worked out nicely for everyone.
