We look forward to having you back next year.
It was a great property for our family stay. It had all the amenities for everyone from 11 months to over 40 yo have a great vacation. My 8 year old loved the water slide and caught his first fish.

Something so special about a kiddo catching a fish. Our dock has been lucky for us also. Glad you enjoyed your stay.
The property we stayed for our family vacation was a excellent place plenty of beds and spacious it was more than we expected dishes silverware pots pans everything we needed for the week carl was quick to reply back when we had a question about something we will definitely go back again
This property was perfect for our vacation. Located in a wonderful little cove, with plenty of room. The two living areas are large enough for everyone to be together or perfect to split up between the kids and adults. Be sure to take advantage of the kayaks, canoe and paddle board!!! On top of everything the house has to offer, the owner is extremely friendly and helpful!!! We had a wonderful stay!

Glad you had wonderful time at our lake home. The game room is great to keep the kids and adults entertained in the evenings. Hope to see you again.
We enjoyed our stay for the second straight year at this spacious lake home. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is well-stocked with pans, plates, glasses, silverware, utensils, and the kids love the game area. We love the quiet cove and the fun little town of Camdenton, but also went over to the busier area to play mini golf. We are already planning our next trip!

We are glad your family was able to return again this year, Amy.
We just spent time at Vista Cove. It was perfect for our family. We enjoyed coffee and breakfast on the upstairs deck every morning and our fishermen utilized the dock quite a bit. The host was very responsive to our needs. I recommend this property for families with children, so much to do.

So happy you enjoyed your stay. We also loving sitting on the deck drinking our coffee in the morning. Very peaceful and relaxing.
We had a great time here! Definitely recommend renting the owner’s kayaks and paddle boards to entertain the kids. Very calm location on the lake and very friendly neighbors. We did not realize that the place did not have WiFi ahead of time, but it ended up working out fine and our family had lots of fun and was comfortable.
Love the location. The kids loved the slide. The whole family really liked this house, very spacious and enough bedrooms for everyone. Could have been just a little bit cleaner, but all in all, it was awesome. We would stay here again.

Thanks for the review. Glad your family had a good stay. I will pass the information onto my maid service.
House is great. Fully stocked kitchen. Plenty of room for everyone. No one was on top of each other. Loved the upper and lower decks. We enjoyed all the water activities to rent. We had a great time fishing and hiking.
This house has everything we were looking for, and more! It immediately felt like home, and had everything we needed. Check-in was a breeze, communication quick and friendly, kitchen supplies, cookware, dishes, all plenty for our large family. The location was great for our needs of water play and fishing, along with easy access to town. We are already planning for next year to come back here! We loved our time at Vista Cove, and highly recommend for families with young kids.

We are glad you enjoyed yourselves. The off season months are fabulous at Lake of the Ozarks, you might want to look at a three day weekend to recharge in the quiet of nature.
See you next year.
Loved the area! It was a less busy part of the lake which we appreciate. House was spacious and met all of our needs. We had a boat delivered that we rented which was super convenient. The manager of the property was very responsive. We had a couple issues that were addressed by him in a very timely manner.
This house was perfect! It was nestled in a cove on the lake which allowed for water activities such as paddle boarding, kayaking , swimming and using their super fun water slide off the dock. The home offered enough space for 3 families to spread out and yet enjoy our time together. House was clean, beds were very comfortable and Carl was super responsive to any questions/concerns we may have had! We had a great time!
The owner responds VERY fast if you have any questions. Location on the water is perfect. Far enough away from main channel for good swimming. Well stocked kithchen. Comfortable beds. Would give it a 10/10.

Thanks for staying at our lake home. You can book year round.
This place was perfect! There was the right amount of space for our family group. The house was stocked with everything needed for the kitchen, a few laundry pods, salt and pepper, and dishwasher pods. Carl was very easy to communicate with. The beds were comfortable. The only suggestions I would have are a few more dish towels and one or two blankets for the couch (we just like them when we watch TV).

Glad you had a great time. Sorry for confusion on the towels, there are drawer full in the buffet next to the table. we look forward to having you stay with us in the future. the fall colors are amazing.
Our family enjoyed the home and the cove of the lake. The kids especially enjoyed enjoyed the rented canoe, kayaks , and paddleboard. The small cove of the lake was calm and peaceful. The two levels of the home let our group have time away from each other when needed! The lower level game area was really popular! Appreciated the “little” amenities around the house to make the stay feel more like home.
We stay with a total of 15 or 16 people, mostly kids 6-17, for 9 days. The dock was awesome for fishing, and hanging out. The open floor plan of the house made it comfortable for everyone. Carl was very responsive to all messages.. having the life vests and water toys available was also great, they all got used all day. The house is located on a narrow road, I recommend launching your boat and leaving the trailers at Larry gale launch ramp,.

It’s great to have a large group stay at the house. I’m sure the two levels of family rooms was a CV plus for the kids and adults alike.
You are right the only place to launch your boat is at Larry Gale launch ramp two coves over but there is a turn around at the end of our road and ample parking for two trailers across our road in our own lot.

Poor Parking and Turn Around Area for Trailers
Turn around area is someone's yards at end of road. Little space for our crew to park with narrow road. Lots of steps down to house and down to dock. Steps leaning downhill not good for young and old alike. Nice inside house.

I’m glad you liked the inside of our home. We take pride in maintaining an updated home and provide needed amenities for our guests.
Our VRBO pictures 3, 4 and 6 show the step to the house and to the dock. We feel the pictures clearly convey the steps on the property. We do have a gate on the upper outside deck and the upper stairs inside the house for toddlers to be safe.
Our property has 5 parking spots. Three in front of the house and two additional across the street, clearly marked. These are also pictured in our VRBO rental pictures.
The turn around area is public land maintained by one of our neighbors, it does look his yard but is actually the right of way of the neighborhood.
Lake of the Ozarks lake is formed in the foothills/mountain of the ozarks so there are very few lots that don’t have steps leading down to the lake.
The interior roads leading to homes at Lake of the Ozarks are narrow in most of neighborhoods, the drop in elevation to the lake does not lend itself to wide open spaces. We can only change things on our property not the layout of the lake.
We have always been available to our renters by a phone call. I’m sorry you didn’t reach out with your parking issues when you arrived.
You had lovely weather during your stay. We’re glad you were able to enjoy Lake of the Ozarks.
