About this property
Modern Lakefront Retreat Steps from the Water in a Quiet Cove
www.fryelakehouse.com
We’d love to share our beautiful modern lakefront home with you and your family. Designed for gathering and relaxing, the home features large open spaces, soaring ceilings, and oversized windows that fill the house with natural light. There are four full bedrooms plus a fifth bunk room for kids. A recently renovated garage adds a fully climate-controlled hangout and sleeping space, allowing the home to comfortably sleep up to 15 guests.
The house offers two spacious living areas—one with a cozy fireplace and the other with a large sectional, 60-inch TV, game table, and seating perfect for movies or lounging. The remodeled kitchen opens directly onto a fully furnished screened-in patio overlooking the lake, a favorite spot for morning coffee and conversation as the sun comes up over the water.
The main-floor master suite includes a king bed, private TV, and access to the upper deck. On the lower level are two bedrooms, one with a private en-suite bath and the other with easy access to a full hallway bath. One of the bedrooms has a king size bed, and the other queen. Both feature sliding glass doors with direct lake views—many guests fall asleep watching the moonlight ripple across the water. A smaller lower-level bedroom includes a twin bunk bed for kids, and an additional cozy loft bedroom upstairs with a queen bed.
The converted garage is a standout feature, serving as a game and sleeping room with carpet, heating, and air conditioning. It includes a king loft bed with a full bed underneath, an additional sofa, and space to sleep up to five. Entertainment includes classic arcade games (NBA Jam, NFL Blitz, Pac-Man), ping pong, foosball, a 65-inch TV for your gaming system, and a vintage pop machine—perfect for kids, teens, and young-at-heart adults, especially on rainy or cold days.
Outside, enjoy double decks with dining space and a Blackstone grill, regular grill, plus a lakeside fire pit with Adirondack chairs—ideal for s’mores, sunsets, and unwinding with your favorite drink. The spacious yard is great for games, and we provide several yard games stored in the garage.
Just steps from the house, the private dock features lounging areas with fans, a covered table for dining or games, a bar area, Bluetooth speakers, and a diving platform. Guests are welcome to enjoy the provided water toys, including floatables, a surfboard, skis, a wakeboard, two paddleboards, three kayaks, and a Lilly pad. Boats are welcome but must be tied to the dock, as the slip is owner-occupied. Boat rentals are nearby and can deliver directly to the dock, and a public boat ramp is just minutes away with ample driveway parking for cars and trailers.
The quiet cove is tucked away from the main channel, offering calm water for swimming, floating, and fishing, while still providing easy boat access to nearby gas docks and waterfront restaurants. Groceries, restaurants, gas, tackle shops, and convenience stores are about 10–15 minutes away by car. Golf courses, caverns, antique shops, hiking and biking trails, and the Osage Beach Outlet Mall are all within a short drive.
Please note this is a family-friendly home in a peaceful cove with mostly year-round residents. This is not a party location, and we ask guests to respect the quiet, relaxed atmosphere. Parking is limited to five vehicles unless prior approval is given.

We had a great time with our family at this beautiful home. We had a few issues, but the host has agreed to make those changes so future guests can have a wonderful stay. Highly recommended
We loved our stay at the Frye lake home! The house was spacious enough for our large family with so many rooms and bathrooms. The beds are comfortable and rooms are nicely decorated. We had lots of laughs around the big kitchen table playing games and loved the game room. We also appreciated all of the fun lake toys and the stereo system on the dock. We would absolutely stay here again!
The host was very communicative and kind! The house is very clean and nice, with lots of amenities! The Dock is spacious, with great seating, excellent swimming, and calm water! Hard to find much better at the Lake!
This was our second year for my family at this location. There was ample space for the 11 of us. Would absolutely book again next year but unfortunately the house was not available. The dock is terrific and had plenty of lake floaties, life jackets and space, for all of us to hang out.
We loved this lakehouse! Plenty of room for our 4 families and plenty to do. Next time, we will probably rent a boat or jet skis prior to going as most places were pretty booked up and its hard to look at them around us and not want to have one. However, they had really nice kayaks and standing boards. I rated a couple of things 4 as I did notice some dusting issues in the loft room and spider webs etc on decks but to be expected living on lake in summer. I would suggest more lighting or instructions on how to put the outside lights on by the walkways. There were solar lights but not enough in our opinion. Maybe more dishes such as strainer and pans unless we didnt find. Overall, this place is a nice place to make family memories. Thanks!
Quiet neighborhood, clean , spacious, very well stocked with what you need for cooking and play time. I use vrbo regularly and this was one of the best.
This lake house was the perfect place for our family get-a-way. The owners do such a great job of making you feel at home. They were responsive to all of my questions and made the reservation process easy. Their home is very comfortable with all the amenities you need to have a great vacation. We appreciate the use of their dock and swimming in their quiet cove.
The house was exactly what we needed with room to spread out. The dock was great and the kids swam like crazy. Communication with Todd was quick and responsive. We would definitely stay here again for our family lake trip.
We had a wonderful stay at this property! The manager was communicative and accommodating. The bay was nice and quiet so it was great for the kids to swim and play. The house was clean and in good shape. Would definitely visit again.
We loved being right on the water and the kids loved the paddle boards and kayaks. All the water toys were perfect. The garage was a great place for all the kids to hang out. Great family vacation.
We stayed here for a girls trip. We had an amazing stay! The house is absolutely gorgeous and so roomy. Also, the house was well stocked with everything we needed. The dock was a huge hit and love that we were able to use the lily pad! Todd was great. He was super responsive and very nice to talk to. I highly recommend this home. We will be back!
The Frye lake house is wonderful. The perfect spot to get our family together. The amenities are great. We really loved the addition of the kayaks this year! Will be returning next year.
What a beautiful home. It was so nice to wake up and have so many choices of where to have your morning coffee. The screened in porch or the two decks. What comfortable furniture. It was very cozy to sit and relax and talk to my friends. The house is beautifully furnished and had every amenity that we needed to feel like home. I definitely would recommend this home for a family or friends weekend!
We had an amazing time! Tons of wake surfing and wakeboarding with the amazingly flat water. Enjoyed all the toys that were available for us to use. Thanks again. We will be back

About the host
Hosted by Todd Frye
Hello, my wife Melissa and I bought this property so we could share it with families like yours. I am a college professor and therapist, while my wife also has a private counseling practice. We understand the importance of play, self-care and unplugging. So, we hope this house will provide you a space to do this.
Why they chose this property
Our primary purpose in providing this property was to create an amazing experience for families to create life long memories. It has about everything you would want for a family vacation/ get together. There are areas for lounging, play with activities for sunny and rainy days. There is room for people to spread out and spaces to come together. The house is beautifully decorated with every detail in mind. Also, being on the lake with a yard and minimal steps to the dock is a special find. We have tried to think of everything to make your time here something you will never forget. Our wonderful guests have confirmed this with consistent 5 star ratings.
What makes this property unique
We fell in love with this home because of it's updated design, views of the lake, spacious living areas and quiet cove. It has a wonderful dock that provides fun all summer long and a game room for rainy or cold days.
