Location: Horseshoebend, Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri, USA (3.5MM On Beautiful Lake of the Ozarks)
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 6)
Crappie Cottage (named for the fish) was recently remodeled and is perfect for fishing, swimming, and relaxing. Charming, but not rustic (WiFi, 3 LCD TVs, DVD), it's equipped with everything you need except food and bait. There's a covered boat dock for fishing and a hoist for a small boat or PWC. You can moor a larger boat dockside. There's a large swim dock next door for playing or sunning. Crappie Cottage is in a park-like setting in a quiet residential cove.
Horseshoe Bend is one of the nicest areas of the lake, providing golf and fine dining on the Bend and a wide choice of vacation activities within a 15 minute drive.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2007
Jerry and Candy Griffin have owned the property next door for thirty years and since 2001 have made it their primary residence while often commuting to pay the bills. Jerry currently works at the University of Missouri in Columbia and Candy has retired from IT consulting to teach high school. We have a couple of reunion weeks each summer when we use the Cottage for family and the rest of the time we enjoy seeing others have the same kind of fun our family has had here over the years. In the short time we've rented the cottage, we've been thrilled with the 100% "happy campers" who have visited.
