About this property
Lakefront Getaway | Dock, ATV Trails & Private Dock
Escape to Trail & Shore Retreat — a secluded lakefront getaway nestled on the shores of Bull Shoals Lake. Whether you're here to fish off the private dock at sunrise, explore ATV trails through Mark Twain National Forest, or simply unwind around the fire with the people you love, this is the place to do it.
Sleeping up to 10 guests across 4 bedrooms (2 kings, a queen, and 2 fulls), the property is designed for groups who want space, comfort, and adventure all in one place. Spend your days kayaking and paddleboarding on the lake, hunting at nearby Jones Point, or hiking scenic forest trails. When the sun goes down, gather on the covered patio around the fire pit for s'mores and starlit evenings.
Inside, you'll find everything you need to feel at home — a fully equipped kitchen, Smart TV, and Starlink Wi-Fi to stay connected while you're on the property. The mornings here are something special — grab a coffee and catch the sunrise over the water before the day begins.
The private dock is perfect for fishing, swimming, and soaking it all in. Feel free to tie up your boat during the day — just note that overnight mooring isn't permitted per Army Corps of Engineers guidelines. A winding path leads you down to the water, with the walk varying a bit by season with Bull Shoals' water levels. Cell service can be spotty in the area, but Starlink keeps you well connected on the property.
Come recharge, reconnect, and experience lake life at its most peaceful. 🌿

We had a great stay! The property was easy to find while still maintaining privacy. It was cute, clean, and the beds were super comfortable. As a coffee drinker it was nice to be able to have a complimentary coffee as I enjoyed the lake view from the toasty warmth of the house.

About the host
Hosted by Tara Williams
We've always believed the best trips aren't the ones that are overscheduled — they're the ones where you get up when you want, explore if you feel like it, and sit by a fire if you don't. We built Trail & Shore Retreat to share that feeling with families, friends, and their dogs too. 🐾 Hosting guests and watching them slow down and reconnect with the people they love is exactly why we do this.
Why they chose this property
Bull Shoals Lake is one of those rare places that still feels unhurried. Clear water, real trails, and a sky full of stars at night. Tucked in the Ozarks on the Missouri/Arkansas border, it's the kind of place that's hard to find and even harder to leave. We chose Theodosia because it offers true seclusion without sacrificing adventure — the lake, the forest, and the trails are all right at your doorstep.
What makes this property unique
Trail & Shore Retreat isn't your typical lake house. It's a secluded, duplex-style retreat tucked 3–4 miles down a country road on Bull Shoals Lake — offering the rare combination of true privacy AND adventure all in one place.
What sets us apart:
🚤 Private dock with kayaks, paddleboard, and swim platform — right in your backyard
🏞️ Direct trail access to Jones Point Wildlife Management Area and Mark Twain National Forest — ATV trails, hiking, and hunting just minutes away
🔥 Covered patio with fire pit, stocked firewood, and a s'mores station ready to go
📶 Starlink Wi-Fi so you stay connected on the property even in the middle of nowhere
🐾 Pet friendly with no size restrictions — bring the whole family
🚐 Full RV hookup available for groups bringing extra accommodations
Whether you're here for the lake, the trails, or just to completely unplug, Trail & Shore gives you the space and freedom to do it your way. 🌿
