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 you can moor a 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.

It was such a wonderful place to stay that we didn't want to leave.

This place was beautiful, well-maintained and really comfortable. The cove was quiet and peaceful and the views were gorgeous. The owners truly do provide everything you need for you stay besides food (even charcoal for the BBQ). The beds were comfortable, the furniture was nice, and all the household fixtures and flooring were top-notch. You can tell that the owners really care about their guests enjoying the place. I only met Jerry, but he really couldn't have been any nicer or friendlier. I can't wait until we can stay there again. We want to bring some friends along, so they can enjoy it as well.

We had such a fun and relaxing time at the cottage this weekend! It was even better than we could have hoped. The kids had a great time fishing and swimming off the docks and the beautiful cottage was a treat for the adults. There were so many things we would have liked to do nearby, that we hope to get the opportunity to come back and enjoy the area. Thanks for a wonderful getaway.

This cottage is incredible. The owners provide everything you need except food. The fishing was good and the access to the main channel was a mere seconds. The cove is deep enough for any boat. Our 21' boat fit well in the available dock. Get up in the morning to the sunshine coming in the large kitchen windows and sip coffee on the deck. Lots of room for six adults. The only complaint was we had to leave.

This cottage is a rare find ! We had our annual girls weekend at the lake... and We ALL loved this place. We are planning on booking it for next year already! Nothing more relaxing than swimming and floating in this cove. Everything was wonderful !

We stayed at this wonderful lake cabin, the first week of May. Every morning, I took my cup of coffee, 15 steps to the dock and dipped my pole in the water to fish. Very peaceful with a great view. The Owners, Candy and Jerry were very helpful and great to work with. Caution on the drive in and out, the first time, but after that, it is a piece of cake. Convenient to stores and shopping. Can't wait to get back. I know there are more fish to be caught.

What a wonderful cottage. After seeing the pictures and price, we were expecting to some how be let down in some way. Nothing could be that perfect. But when we arrived we were overwhelmed at how wonderful it really was. It has a perfect cove location with great views of the lake from 2 of the bedrooms. All completely remodeled with the highest of quality materials. Flat screens everywhere and wifi included. We unfortunately didn't find the very obviously located dvd's until the last days, but were never there long enough to watch tv anyway because you're usually on the deck , swimming off the dock, or fishing off the other dock. There was also a great side deck with a fireplace that even in the July heat we used frequently. Candy and Jerry are wonderful people and easy to get along with. This is an exceptional find and an Ozark gem. We can't wait to get back to what we now refer to as, "Our lake house". We've been looking for a long time...

We stayed here the end of April. What a nice, quiet home. Private. We didn't get to swim since the water was still too cold, but fishing off the dock was great. The owners are a really nice couple. We will definately return.
