About this property

Best panoramic view of the lake! Winters by the fire or sun deck in the summer

Sitting over the water's edge at the 25 mile marker in Osage Beach is the most famous house ever built on the Lake. This architectural wonder is now available for your family to enjoy. SLEEPS 10

Whether you are sitting in the living room watching all the boat traffic go by, or on the martini deck near the pier, you will not miss a moment of the action, whether it be boats flying by, or quiet sunsets. The Living room also boasts a 65" TV. The living room also includes a beautiful gas fireplace that lights at the touch of a button, and warms your heart and the room on those wintry evenings.

The kitchen is appointed with all the utensils, appliances and gadgets you need for a summer retreat, and you may sit at the dining room table and enjoy that million dollar view.

All three bedrooms boast high end comfort king beds and bedding. Down stairs bedrooms offer a comfort queen bed and bedding along with King.

The master suite boasts more of that view over the water, a king bed, and an en suite bath. Sit down at the chess table and enjoy a quiet game as you ponder that view.

The 2nd bedroom boasts 1 king bed, 1 queen bed more of that amazing view, and another full bath. Let us know if you want to use that sleeper, and we will have the linens ready for your arrival. This room, too, has a 50" flat screen tv for your enjoyment.

The third bedroom has a king bed, a queen bed. This room is an executive suite with a desk for your business needs and a a quiet retreat to finish that project before that vacation begins. This room, too has an en suite and a 50" flat screen tv.

Above on the "top deck" is an amazing gathering area where you can watch the sunset, enjoy a quiet romantic dinner, or catch up on your tan. This is a favorite spot for all of our regulars!

We are also willing to rent one or two bedrooms separately if the house is available at the last minute, and you only need a 1 or two bedroom. Shoot us an email, and we will help you find the perfect fit for your last minute trip!

Perfect Labor Day weekend!

This house has fascinated me from the time I was a little girl boating on LOTO. When it popped up as a vacation rental I was stoked to have a chance to stay at this iconic place! We brought our 6 children and every one of them loved the house as much as we did! Views are amazing and the location is very convenient!

Nice VRBO

The house was extremely comfortable and great location. The amenities were ideal. Just one thing under the couch on the main level was dirty ( could see it when sitting on chair). I would recommend this house to my friends. Thank you.

Best house on the lake

Me, my friends and my family came to the Ozarks and stayed in the amazing pedestal house! It was everyone’s first time in the Ozarks and not only did we have a great time but the house was amazing. It is a lot more bigger and spacious that expected. Very clean and well stocked with necessities. The outdoor deck/dock area is also huge. We had so much fun spending time on the roof and taking in the beautiful view. The owners are quick to respond too with any questions you may have. 10000% recommend staying here and we already can’t wait to come back!!

Neat view

This house has unbeatable views, but is in desperate need of some maintenance. The a/c in the master bedroom was out, but the owner quickly took care of it. The ice maker doesn't work. The lock to the door that gives you access to the roof needs repair. The door stop for the mater bathroom was lying on the floor. The roof in the master bedroom leaks. All in all its reslly a nice place, ot just needs some attention.

Very Cool House

Very cool house with a wonderful location and beautiful views. It was very confortable for 6 adults. Only comment is it could us a bit of a facelift (new carpet) but you can kind of tell that from the pictures. The water pressure was really low in the showers, probably an old house thing though.

Perfect secluded lake spot!

Me and my friends had an excellent weekend celebrating our bride to be at the pedestal house! It was far enough off the main stretch that there wasn’t a ton of boat traffic, but close enough to get to bars quickly. Be advised that it’s a lot of steps, but we got a good workout.

Yearly friend getaway

My friends and I have stayed at this property over the last 5 years. We keep coming back because of the incredible space in the house, flexibility of the property owners, and direct access to the lake. We tried staying somewhere else, but we were sorely disappointed. While some things are in need of repair and a good clean, the property owners are good about responding to feedback and making improvements. We will continue to stay at the Pedestal House for years to come!

Great location!

My husband and I had a great time at the Pedestal House. It has a great view and was in a quiet neighborhood. It is close to many pool bars and state parks for hiking. Our key code to enter did not work, but the property mgr came right to the unit to help us get in and reset the code. Our dog was over the weight limit to bring with us. With that said, the carpet has MULTIPLE pet stains in almost all rooms and stair areas that did not appear to be cleaned or are unable to be cleaned. The gas grill on the small deck is not usable due to rust, but there is a charcoal grill near the parking area which was great. The property itsself could use some maintenance, updates and cleaning. The view and location is worth the price.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Payne

Host profile image
We have loved coming to the lake for many years, and find our "quiet place" here for rest and relaxation. Like everybody that has ever been on the water, we too, marveled at this engineering wonder, and always wished we could "peak inside", so we decided to purchase it! We hope you love this home as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

It is ONE OF A KIND!

What makes this property unique

The best view at the lake. Hands down. Great entertaining area on the top deck, with sunsets to die for.
