It was a very good place to stay for what we needed. The dock use and swim pad got a lot of use out of the pre-teens. Host was very helpful and responsive to all our questions.
We were there in September and it was super quiet and relaxing. Got entry info the day of but the host is nearby and he'll help with info or anything. The Lake of the Ozarks is really nice, few boats, lots of docks, pretty clean. Saw many eagles over two days. The nearby town has a few restaurants, two coffee shops and even a bakery. The 'bunkhouse' was slightly insecticidy on arrival but gone the next day. It is fully equipped for dining and food preparation. Several TVs if you're into that, you should have your streaming service passwords. Kayaks and paddleboat available. A few minor shortcomings but we would definitely return for another stay.
Our stay at the Wheel Barrel Bunkhouse was outstanding. To start off with - the directions to the place were spot on. Host Rod ( couldn’t ask for better hospitality). The lake view is beautiful with a beautifully equipped dock for relaxing and entertaining- Rod has it all. Now the actual bunkhouse itself was out of this world. The hundreds of hours spent crafting this magnificent place is unreal. The detail is very impressive. A true “ole country feel” to this place that just makes one smile on the inside. There was a patio deck off to the side of the bunkhouse that offered lake views with access to grilling, fire pit and relaxing with all supplies provided for. Another thing to note is that this bunkhouse comes fully stocked with all essentials- only thing you need are clothes and eats. I will say that there is a marina close by (0.3 mi) from the place called Premier Advantage Marine for easy boat access. We thoroughly enjoyed this peaceful stay and highly recommend.
Top Notch!!!! Host is wonderful!!! Beautiful home with everything you need to stay. We had a wonderful time kayaking and fishing. Caught all kinds of different fish. Close to restaurants grocery store and other activities if you want to go explore. Can not say enough positive things about Rod and his wonderful place!!!! Thank you

Awesome spot for a family vacation with quiet cove access. Water activities were easy and the host was great! Will recommend to friends and family. Would definitely come back in the future.
This is such a great place to stay! The theme is fun, location is perfect for places on the Gravois & Osage arm with 2 grocery stores nearby! I had 2 teenage girls with me that loved the dock space; enjoyed paddle boats and lily pad catching rays! The owner was wonderful to work with, as well!

Rod was fantastic! He has put in so much thought and care into this property and it shows! We had so much fun swimming and fishing off the dock. Great place to bring the family, we will be back!
We loved staying at this property. The attention to detail and the quiet location is perfect for the relaxing getaway we needed to recharge. Beautiful space to unwind. The home had everything we needed and the dock has plenty of space to swim, float, fish or just sit and enjoy the sunset. Plenty of sunshine and shade for us and our pup! We can’t wait to come back next year.
