Glass Octagon /Waterfront Villa /Lake of Ozark

There are many choices at Tree Top but I’m certain we got the best one! This three bedroom, three bath octagon is perfectly situated near the point of a cove close to everything. Morning coffee with the friendly heron on the private martini dock is the way to start the day. Cocktails on the top deck off the family room at sunset feels as you’re in a living post card.

The facility is completely outfitted with everything you could possibly need to feel right at home. This spot on the lake is no more than 15 minutes away from everything.

We’re already looking at the calendar to see when we can come back.

The property was very clean and well organized. The view was beautiful from the kitchen/living room area. No views of the lake from the two upstairs bedrooms. Ground floor bedroom had view of the lake. The dock was very stable even with the wake coming in from the main channel. On Saturday, when the channel is busy, water is a little rough, but all other days it was super calm and dock provided a perfect spot for floating and swimming, out of the way of any boat traffic. No lights on the dock, so if you like night fishing, be sure to bring flashlights. Water is deep, so great for swimming and fishing. Lots of stairs on the property including a spiral staircase in the kitchen/living room area. If you have small ones or dogs, would recommend bringing a baby gate(we did and cable tied it to the iron railing of the spiral stairs to prevent any falls) Home is stocked with dishes, cookware, utensils, linens(sheets and towels), dishwasher soap, but no other cleaning supplies, so be sure to bring your own if you need them. Overall, loved this property. The community is very quiet with lots of trees, so very park-like. This house, in my opinion, has the best view of the main channel of all of the houses in the community. At night, the view is beautiful with lots of sky and water to gaze upon. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

Beautiful location. We had a great time.

We had an absolutely relaxing stay and everything was PERFECT! Many thanks! We'll try to find time to come again this summer.

Loved the location! Just inside the no-wake zone in an arm of the lake, but near enough to see the main channel. Used the lowest martini deck a lot to hang out and watch the lake, as well as get in the water and cool off. Loved seeing the wildlife (had more than one visit from a Mallard couple). We also used the uppermost deck to eat breakfast one morning, instead of trying to find another restaurant, while being squawked and twittered at by birds in the trees all around us (which I loved).

The villa was plenty spacious for four adults, with yet another bedroom that could have been used. Three bathrooms was plenty. Loved the full kitchen, which we used to make our own breakfast. The brown pelican carving in front was pretty nice.

I can't give the rental 5 stars for a couple of reasons. Reason #1 is that, although the place was very clean, the windows hadn't been cleaned in awhile. Very disappointed, considering the floor-to-ceiling windows were a draw to this villa. Just the windows--everything else seemed perfectly clean.

A very minor point--all pictures here seem to be for another villa similar to ours, but not our exact one. Not a big deal, but a tad misleading. For instance, no BBQ grill on the deck...I'm assuming they are all pics of the neighboring villa, which we could see from the parking area, and through the trees. Another minor point, and something not within the owner's control, is that the lake level seemed to be low, so using the ladder to get into the lake was a necessity. No jumping in!

All in all, we enjoyed our stay very much--just wish the windows had been cleaner!
