David our host met us at the house, was very friendly & showed us all around explaining everything. The house was perfect for our family. We enjoyed our stay very much.
We absolutely loved our stay there. We were a bit of a smaller group so our kinds were in love with all of the space. The lake is so peaceful, and the blooms in the morning are a must see!I wanted to live in the greenhouses, they were my personal favorite. The host very very curious and so accommodating and very quick to respond!I highly recommend this to be your next stay, you don’t even have to leave the property because there’s so much to see and explore!
Perfect location for our college reunion, so much space both inside the house and out. Quick to respond to any questions we had. Would definitely stay here again!
Very beautiful place,lots of space. We had a wonderful time here. You could get lost in the house very big. Communication with the owner was quick and everything was great!
The lodge and grounds far surpassed what we were expecting. Lots of space to spread out. Lots of areas to gather and talk or play games. Lots of fun on the lake. It was perfect!
This property was absolutely beautiful!! They provide everything you could need from the bedding, kitchen dishes and appliances, towels, life jackets, kayaks, paddle boards, fire pit, and more! We had an amazing time with our church’s youth group (35 ppl) and will definitely be coming back again!!
The house is fantastic, with plenty of bathrooms, beds, and gathering spaces for everyone. The kitchens are the best stocked kitchens I've ever seen in a vrbo rental. We loved the lake and having access to paddleboards and kayaks was awesome. Everyone had a great time and all the kids are asking when we can go back. We definitely want to return some time!
We gathered 8 families on the property for Labor Day weekend and it was perfect! Everyone had their own room/space and the house is big enough that we didn’t feel cramped at all.
Outdoor there were so many things to do - we rode on the pontoon, swam, fished, sat around the fire, played cornhole and so much more! They had everything stocked and ready for us to enjoy the weekend and time together. Would definitely come again!

What a wonderful getaway
I have been using VRBO for many years, but my experience staying at Kabekona was by far my best experience. Very seldom are your expectations met when renting a vacation home, here they were greatly exceeded.
The hosts could not have been any more accommodating ,or easier to work with. The pictures do not do justice to the size, or the beauty of the entire property.
We will definitely be planning another trip there in the near future.
34 recent high school graduates celebrated together for 3 nights. The property offered so much for the kids to do. The spaces in the house were generous and well furnished. Kids could watch movies, build puzzles and sign yearbooks together.
The proximity to the town of Rolla made food shopping easy.
The entire trip exceeded my expectations in every way.
My brother and I rented this for our adult children and grandkids from ages 6 to 18! TX, IN, AR, and WI were all represented! So much for the kids to do, golf, disc golf, basketball, room for some baseball... fishing of course the highlight was swimming endlessly! Plenty of room for 22 people and ample kitchen spaces. We are hoping to return!
Our entire group absolutely loved it. There is something for everyone. Serenity, Privacy w/ a house that feels like home and every thing you might need. It fit our group perfectly. If we had any concerns there was always someone right there to take care of it. These people are fantastic.
We always have an amazing time at this property. You have the lake area to yourselves and they have lots of life jackets and floats to use. This time we took advantage of the hiking trails as well. The paths are well marked and maintained. The home has plenty of towels, dishes, cooking utensils and even extras if you forget something. The only mishap we had this time around was checking out. We removed the comforters with the sheets and pillows assuming they were washed with each guest. Comforters are not changed with each guest, only sheets. Final check out is texted, and we followed the printed instructions in the kitchen. So just make sure you wait for Julie’s text and you’ll be set!

The House was Great for our Family and friends.
We had a group of 16 family and friends stay in the house for an extended weekend. The house was great and had more than enough room for all of us. Although the weekend was raining we had a great time sitting in the sun room and gathering room talking and catching up. The one nice day/night we spent time around the fire pit and enjoy the hot tub. The house is huge and area is very nice. Would love to had been able to do some hiking but the weather and timing was not right. Great place to spend a week in the summer just enjoying the lake and land. Thank you for allowing us to spend time is your home.
Our family of 26 stayed comfortably in this house! We were so impressed by the cleanliness of the home and what it had to offer. Whatever is in your home can be found in this house…and then some! From ample amounts of paper towels, trash bags, and TP to crock pots, life jackets and beach towels, this vacation rental had it all. Our kids and grandkids enjoyed the canoes, boating, and fishing. The dock is perfect for kids of all ages. Just can’t say enough! Check in and check out we’re a breeze. The owner and property manager were very helpful and prompt with responses. Don’t hesitate to book this property if you’re looking for fun and relaxation.
