About this property

Cozy Lake Front Cottage w/dock, perfect family retreat!

Welcome to our little slice of Heaven. Our 3 level lake cottage is a perfect family retreat. It is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath (walk-in showers) home with a twin loft and 1 day bed for sleeping up to 8 people ( 8 is 2 person per bed, 2 on sofa sleeper, and 1 in loft and 1 in day bed). It is conveniently located just minutes north of Camdenton near Bridal Cave or on the 11MM of the Niangua Arm by water. This is a lake front house with actual shoreline (deep water) and a dock with two empty slips 10x20, this is not just lake access. Located on a quiet street.

The kitchen is fully equipped with dishes, pots, pans, baking dishes, utensils, and a variety of cooking gadgets. We keep sugar, flour, oils, and spices on had so you don't have to worry about the basics. We do have washer and dryers. Basic laundry supplies are available.

The walk in level has a parlor that has one futon and the twin loft bed, bathroom with washer/dryer, and lake view bedroom with a full size bed and walk out deck.
The second level includes a spacious living room with lake view, a futon, sofa, and kitchen with dining area.
The third level includes a bedroom with a queen size bed, bathroom, and a walk out door to the lake. Laundry service is available. Owner lives next door, so you will be able to have quick communication if needed.

We have Wi-fi and our TV's are equipped with YouTube TV, Hulu, Netflix, and more. Cell service is spotty in the house but good outside.

A great house for 2 family's with children to share. It's an off season paradise for fishermen, minutes by water from the Larry Gale public access ramp.

Good stay

The house was as listed. The kitchen was well equipped for us to cook. The beds were comfortable. The deck area was nice, but it did need a good cleaning. The owner is very responsive. The home was comfortable and a good option for our family of 6. The road leading to the house isn't super well kept. We had a mini van pulling a trailer and had a hard time not bottoming out. I imagine this wouldn't be a big issue with a bigger vehicle. Overall, this rental is a good value. We'd stay again if we were back this way.

5 stars for cleanliness, but be mindful of the owner’s presence

This was by far the cleanest rental we’ve ever stayed in—absolutely spotless and very well-maintained. It’s clear the owners take great pride in the interior of their property, which we appreciated.One thing to note: the owners live next door and are quite present. During our stay, they were quick to comment when my adult children had the door open for what they felt was too long, calling over to ask that it be shut. It’s something to be aware of if you value complete privacy or prefer a more hands-off host experience.Overall, a beautiful and extremely clean home—just be prepared for a bit more oversight than you might expect from a typical vacation rental.

Rainy June boating trip with friends

The hostess was very responsive to messages. She allowed us to stay a little longer on the last day so we could wait out a storm when we needed to load our boat. The location on the lake was great. Having a covered boat dock was amazing. The inside of the home was clean and a quintessential, quirky lake house. The kitchen was well equipped. However, our stay was very rainy and the roof was leaking in multiple spots and has been for a while based on the damage on the ceiling. The provided trash cans were not large enough for our group of 8 for 3 days. The dock, decks, walkway down to dock/lake could use some maintenance and powerwashing. We did enjoy our stay but we had to monitor the leaky ceiling throughout the weekend and were concerned with mold/mildew. Rub rails and cleats are missing off of dock, so if you bring a boat, be sure to bring extra bumpers and ropes to tie up. With a little TLC, this place would be absolutely perfect.

Great spot on the lake

While it was a bit of a challenge to get to (we were on motorcycles) the property was great and totally as described. The owners were warm and welcoming and even provided us with a couple of SUPs to use during our stay. Will definitely book again when in the area.

Weekend away

Everything was clean and we enjoyed our stay so this isn’t a complaint rather a suggestion. You should probably get a better grill you need to be able to close a lid when grilling pork steaks so you can cook them more evenly.

Loved this place. Sitting on the deck and seeing the water was so relaxing. The property owner is so amazing. Great communication. Even let us know about bad weather and the best place to be in the house if something happened. Above and Beyond!! The location is great for Ha Ha Tonka Park and Bridal Caves. We had the best time exploring the trails and doing the Bridal Cave tour. Very quiet and amazingly comfy home! Thank you!!!

Nice house. Lots of room. Very well stocked kitchen. Drive was really steep and narrow. Was ok with just a car but pulling a boat and backing a boat is difficult. Other than that Host was wonderful house was great and the view of the lake was absolutely beautiful

Located close to Camdenton on the Big Niangua

We loved our stay at this property. We had a total of 7 people. Two bedrooms, 2 futons and 1 bunk bed. We had two families and everything was just perfect. We loved the outside porch where we hung out and played games in the evening. I really can't find anything negative to say about the accommodations. It was also close to town to pick-up groceries. It was very private and we hope to reserve it again next year!
