The Grants are great communicators - they answered any question/concerns prior to arrival & during our stay VERY quickly. Wi-Fi is great, plenty of space & great kitchen.
This place is great if you are interested in being near all the hot spots. The view is beautiful, and the owners were very accomadating. The place is perfect for large groups. We had 4 adults and 3 kids and felt comfy. I would highly recommend and definitely come back.

Nice family weekend
We stayed for 3 nights & had the house full: 6 adults, 1 toddler & a baby. It was very nice – nothing special, over-the-top, or fancy, but worked for our family. There were a few things that could use improvement, but overall, I would recommend this house to someone looking for a generally clean, comfy, quiet place to enjoy the lake.
CONS:
*Few things that needed maintenance:
-dishwasher closed funny (weren’t sure if we used it right)
- shower head in master bathroom
- one sliding door to screened-in porch was stuck; couldn’t open
- gas grill did NOT work & needed a good scrubbing – icky.
- cleaning needed around downstairs windows & walk-out area.
*Instructions for the AC/Heater would’ve been nice – we could not figure it out
*Instructions for the TV – couldn’t change channels the first day. It took 2 calls to Dish Network to get everything working correctly, and we had 6 very intelligent adults trying…
*Dining table wasn’t big enough for all of us at once. 2 adults had to sit at the Kitchen bar (tables in screened-in porch area offered plenty of seating though!)
*Single bedroom with 1 full bed needed another side table or something. Not enough room for our stuff to be out. Take out the tiny TV we never used & put in a little dresser or something.
*Downstairs bathroom/laundry room combo needed more counter space. For 4 adults, we had to spread our stuff out on top of the washer & dryer. Maybe a couple towel hooks too. And more towels.
*Crib that was provided looked a little cheap & dusty. We used the pack & play we brought instead.
PROS:
*The important stuff was very clean & well-kept. No problems using the towels, sheets, bowls, cups, etc
*Had a view of the lake from the front & back of house. Nice, quiet neighborhood that was easy to find.
*Screened-in porch was lovely! Wish we could’ve used it more!
*Big, wide driveway was perfect for our 3 cars with room to spare
*Comfy couches & accommodations
*Xbox 360 was a welcome perk & fun to use! Games were provided
*Kitchen was well-stocked with bowls, cups, kitchen tools, etc. Had everything we needed. We brought paper plates, but for a larger group, there might not be enough plates, etc.
*WiFi was also a nice touch. Helped us find local info easily on our smartphones!

To address the CONS noted here we have taken the following immediate actions:
-Repaired Dishwasher door which now operates normally -- dishwasher was purchased new in 2012
-Purchased new shower head for Master Bath
-Sliding Door to Screened Porch repaired and now operates normally
-Purchased new Gas Grill with Infrared heating elements
-Special cleaning attention given to downstairs windows & walk-out area
-Instructions for the TV and AC/Heater are now available
This Fall we are also renovating the downstairs bedrooms and 1/2 bath upstairs to further spruce up the house.
We are sure you will enjoy these improvements upon your stay.
It was all around EXCELLENT!! Clean house top to bottom great host excellent communication. We are already planning on going back everyone in our group loved it!!!
We loved everything about this house! It was beautiful and very clean! The screened in porch was perfect for playing cards in the evening! The location is great you can walk across the street to a bar/restaurant, boat rentals or drive 15 minutes to almost anything! We will absolutely stay here again in the future!!
The property was exactly as listed. We loved the screened in porch. We also loved access to the pool and on site entertainment. Would definitely stay there again!
We were disappointed not to find a more private dock to swim from and also the pool accommodations. The girls were most disappointed about not being able to take their coolers (food and drink) to the pool. Otherwise, the property was in a great location and very clean! We loved the screened-in porch! The location did allow us to commute to a public beach without too much difficulty.

Response from VrboOwner on 25 Mar, 2020
Thanks for the review & feedback. Just so that future guests understand, we do not advertise a private dock as we are a 2nd tier home at the Lake of the Ozarks, meaning we are not directly on the water. And the pool at Village Marina is available to our guests to enjoy but they operate a fully functional restaurant & bar that features brick fired pizza and many other menu choices so they don't allow food & drink to be brought in from the outside. That said, our home is only a brief 1-2 minute walk to the pool so you can enjoy food & drinks at the house and walk down to the pool and back at any time, but if you don't want to make the walk, the full service option at the Boathouse is nice to have.
This is a great house with an open atmosphere & large screened porch.
We loved this house and will definitely book it again.
Thanks to the owners for sharing it with us!

Wonderful place and location
This home had everything our extended family needed for a vacation at the lake. Clean, updated home with plenty of space for everyone. The beds were comfortable, plenty of seating for meals, decent water pressure for showers, beautiful setting. The screened in porch was perfect for mornings and evenings in. The location was ideal next to the Boathouse Marina and pool/bar/food.
I would definitely recommend renting this home!

Terrific Stay
Came here with 8 guys on a golf trip. House was very nice, even nicer than the pictures! Owners were prompt with any questions we had. We brought 1 air mattress, and were able to sleep 8 pretty easily. Plenty of good golf courses in the area. Saturday was a little hot, so we canceled our afternoon tee time and decided to rent a boat at the marina across the street from this property. Very nice 22' Cobalt rental unit. Great location on the water. Would definitely stay here again.

Place was fantasic!
House was great! Everything we could have wanted! Location of the bar and pool was an added bonus! Although the drinks were a little pricy. Only complaint is an extremely slow coffee pot :/ Would highly recommend this place!

Clean, comfortable home away from home
Just recently, our family stayed at this home. When we first walked into the house, it appeared sleek, clean, and well furnished. Each of the bedrooms were open and the beds were comfortable. The house has three large, flat screen TVs with countless channels. The bathrooms and kitchen were completely stocked with everything you would need to live comfortably. We will definitely return next summer.

Fabulous stay at the lake !
We had a great long weekend at the lake !
Fantastic side porch, great pool across the street attached to a bar/restaurant. We really enjoyed the food and drinks. With the marina just across the street, it was so convenient to rent a boat and waverunner. We also cooked at the house for several meals and found everything we needed. The owners are so easy to work with -- they provided great information and were happy to answer all of our questions. We would certainly book this house again !

Great stay
We stayed over a week in July, and had my parents, my husband and I and out very young children. The setup was great and was pleasantly surprised that they already had safety gates on the stairs and outlet covers (seriously, it's the small things anymore!). The house was very clean and had everything we could have needed. We cooked most nights and the kitchen was well appointed as well. The screened in porch is where we spent most of our time when not at the pool or on the lake. With the master bedroom on the main floor and other bedrooms downstairs, it gave everyone their own space which was wonderful. Overall, I would highly recommend the house!

Great place, great time!!
Perfect size and location. Nicely appointed decor....everything in good working order. The barrooms were spacious and very clean as well as the rest of the house.
Slip for the boat was included as well as access to the pool at the club next door.
We hung out and ate apps while the kids swam. Perfect!!
