COVE RETREAT LAKEFRONT HOT TUB OUTSIDE BAR PRV DOCK LOCATION FIRE PIT & MORE!!
🚨 Now Booking 2026 – Your Lake Ozark Cove Retreat Awaits! 🚨
🏖️ Summer Fun, Fall Getaways & Winter Escapes — perfect for families, friends, and groups up to 16+.
🌞 Summer at Cove Retreat
Float all day in a calm cove, paddle board, relax at the outside bar with your favorite game on TV, and watch sunsets from the hot tub. 🌊✨
Guests say they never left the house because there’s so much fun right here! But if you do want to explore, you’re minutes from golfing, boating, swimming, floating, lakeside restaurants, caves, state parks, shopping, and family adventures.
🎆 July 4th Fireworks – A Front-Row Lake Experience (2026 is America’s 250th!)
Fireworks are launched at the end of our cove and can be enjoyed right from our private dock — no crowds, no traffic. If you rent a boat, you can also float to the mouth of the cove where boats gather and watch the show from the water. It’s one of the most memorable Lake of the Ozarks experiences — and 2026 will be an especially unforgettable celebration of our country’s 250th birthday 🇺🇸✨
🍁 Fall / Thanksgiving at Cove Retreat – Available Now!
Fall is stunning — crisp air, cozy fires, and lake views from every deck. Enjoy game nights in the game room, football on the big screen at the outside bar, and Thanksgiving dinner by the fireplace. 🦃🔥
