Nice property right on the lake. I would recommend if you are bringing a boat to put it in the water before going to the property because the driveway is very steep.

The house is right on the lake and the dock was awesome. The cove made it secluded enough that the water was calm. We had full access to kayaks, the slide and lots of chairs to hang out by the water every night.The house was clean and had everything we needed to just stay and relax!

This property was very clean and well stocked. The beds were firm but very comfortable. I loved that the house had ceiling fans in each bedroom and also in the main rooms as well. The location was incredible and so peaceful and we enjoyed hanging out and fishing from the dock and kayaks or just sitting around to read and enjoy the beauty surrounding us.

We really enjoyed our stay here. We were lucky enough to get warm weather in March and were able to use the kayaks, grill, and be by the water. It was nice to be able to stay for only a few nights and not have to worry about picking up things like dish soap and paper towels. It was well stocked. The 4 for cleanliness was simply because of the over stained carpets and desperate need for a coat of paint, but the bathrooms, kitchen, and sitting areas were very clean. We would definitely stay here again. The cove was private and quiet.

Clean comfortable place in quiet cove

Enjoyed a long weekend with friends at Gilly's retreat! Great location in a quiet cove with a boat slip to store our boat overnight. Check-in was super simple and the home was very clean. We had plenty of space for everyone to sleep and make meals. Enjoyed evening on the deck and around the firepit. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice calm water and quiet cove. Perfect for a family getaway!

This property was a perfect location for our family vacation to the Ozarks. The house had plenty of space and we were pleasantly surprised with all of the cabinet space in the kitchen. The dock was perfect and we enjoyed the lilly pad and lounge chairs. We look forward to booking this location again!

Great place

We've been staying down at the lake for over 25+ years and this was one of the nicest places we have been at. We had 10 guests and there was plenty of room. Great house, plenty of room, nice dock, nice quiet cove. Plenty of room for parking. All in all a great place!

Great first family vacation!

The place was perfect! Lots of space, nice amenities, quiet spot on the lake. It was just what we were looking for! This was the first planned family vacation with my 5 adult children. We all were comfortable…and relaxed lounging on the many outdoor and indoor seating areas. We loved our evenings around the outdoor fireplace or playing games around the kitchen table. Would definitely book again!!
