Spacious and relaxing.

There was plenty of room for everyone to stay and not be cramped. The dock was amazing to swim off. The drive back into town was long so made sure to get what we needed while in town. The may flies were there by the hundreds. Overall..beautiful place with plenty to do!

Millie’s wonderful retreat

There were around 22 of us from 3 different states that met at Millie’s for our family Thanksgiving. This is the perfect set up for large groups. The kids and adults loved playing pool and shuffleboard!! Beautiful setting and the fire pit was wonderful. There is a pantry with griddles, crockpots, and large cooking pots that came in very handy. Thanks for making it a wonderful place to stay!!

Millie’s Getaway was the perfect spot for our family vacation to the Lake of the Ozarks! The house offered a beautiful view from both the deck and indoor spaces, and it was clean, spacious, and comfortably accommodated our entire group. We especially appreciated that each bedroom had its own attached bathroom, which made things easy for everyone.The check-in process was smooth, and the property manager was friendly and quick to respond to any questions or concerns. The dock and boat slips were great, and the kids had a blast swimming and fishing right off the dock. We also enjoyed using the kayaks and making the most of the outdoor areas for relaxing and spending time together.

An Oustanding Climactic experience

Honestly, I cannot say enough good things about our experience. The house was clean and everything was in good working order. The house was well stocked. The beds were comfortable. Particularly loved the gigantic dining room table. It was perfect for our very large family get together. We would definitely stay here again!!!

Weekend with friends.

This place is incredible! Luxurious and spacious accommodations, scenic and private on a quiet section of the lake. Lots of wildlife. The beach campfire was wonderful. We ate like royalty, and had plenty of room to cook and clean. Everyone had a blast, even the dogs! Thank you Millie’s, we will be back again!

Family Christmas

We spent a long weekend at Millie's for our family Christmas. We absolutely loved it. There was plenty of room for everyone and we all loved having our own bathrooms. The open area including the kitchen, dining room and living room was very spacious. We had various activities going on between us and were still all able to be in the same room. We also enjoyed the dock, outdoor firepits and the kayaks. We would definitely stay again!

Fall at Millie’s

Loved the property. We had a larger group of family (23 total) and had enough rooms/beds for all. Location was perfect with great lake views and yard for kids to run around in. Kids loved the sand beach area too. Was beautiful in late October. Plenty of kitchen space and dining space for us all. Property manager met us on check in/check out and was very helpful. Would love to come back.

Second visit, just as nice as the first. Don’t think we will be back as the walk to the dock to enjoy the lake is too steep for our aging group.

What makes this property unique

What makes Millie’s Getaway special to me is the way it brings people together. It’s not just a place to stay — it’s a space where families reconnect, friends laugh late into the night, and memories are made that last for years. The home was designed with gatherings in mind, from the two full kitchens and spacious common areas to the multiple bedrooms that make it easy for large groups to stay comfortably under one roof.

I also think the location sets it apart. Nestled in a peaceful nook on the main channel, the setting is both quiet and scenic — perfect for morning coffee by the water or a full day out on the lake. Having a private dock with boat slips and jet ski lifts makes getting on the water incredibly convenient, which I know guests really appreciate.

To me, it’s the perfect balance of relaxation and recreation — and that’s what makes it truly unique.
