This place and the hosts are amazing. First, the hosts were the most accommodating I've ever worked with. We had a small issue and they responded, in person, to help us out. The communication was fantastic and thorough. Can't beat the hospitality.The house is excellent. Plenty of space, large yard and driveway. It also has everything you could need outside of your food etc. The house is within 10 minutes of the Route U boat ramp and 20 minutes to a town with everything you could need. I highly recommend the place.

Holder house was perfect. The home was spotless, stocked with so many extras, beautiful setting, minutes from the Marina. The kitchen was stocked with absolutely everything we needed, plenty of towels and linens, tons of games to play. Beth has thought of everything. Our family couldn’t have been more comfortable. We will be back. Thank you Beth!!!

Wonderful location with a quiet yard to enjoy. Minutes to the boat ramp and not ridiculously far from the local shopping. Everything was properly stocked and functional. One minor hiccup was dealt with quickly by the owner. We'll be back!

We had a wonderful stay and were so thankful to be able to stay another year. It's a great location for access to the Mark Twain Lake. Also a wonderful place to gather and relax, even when rain changes your plans.
