Nice getaway

We really enjoyed our stay. The host was super accommodating and responsive. We spent most of our time out by the lake. There is very limited fishing due to some type of fish that eat everything (clearly not the fisherman) there was swimming for the kids and other water activities which was great.

Good location good value

Stayed here for Fourth of July. Cabin worked perfectly for what we needed. It isn’t 5 star accommodations but you are staying on a lake and it is a perfect lake cabin experience. Owner was very friendly and super helpful with everything. Had a lot of amenities that we were allowed to use such as kayaks, paddle boats, life vests, fire pits and bbq grills. Would stay here again for sure.

Relaxing and comfy

Our stay was exactly what we needed. The first day it rained and we enjoyed Cornhole in the garage that had plenty of space to play, a fridge, and a table. The next days we enjoyed the on site beach, kayak, canoe, and paddle boat. The place was complete with everything listed and was perfect for a family get away. The host truly made the stay, he was kind, checked on us, but also gave us our space. I would certainly return.

Labor Day weekend family get-a-way

This cabin was ideal for our family gathering. We had plenty of room for indoor activity as well as outdoor activity. Plenty of bed spaces. All linens and towels were provided. Full kitchen was also a bonus for meal preparations and was fully stocked with all pots, pans, dishes. The extra fridge in the basement/garage was helpful for our large family Being right on the lake was definitely a bonus. Enjoyed a swim in the lake and the breeze off the water was heavenly. The fire pit and wood provided was nice for evening 'smores snacks. Overall a great place and have already reserved our next stay.

Had a Great Time!

I wanted a vacation that felt like a vacation without all the running around and we certainly found the place to do just that. The kids loved the cabin and choosing where to sleep, so many options. Being on the lake and having a washer and dryer available was so nice to have. The cabin was clean and Richard was so nice to check in to see if we needed anything. This is close enough to our house that the kids wanted to to come back for a long weekend which I am totally on board with. The swimming area was great for our kids, (2) 8 year olds and a 2 1/2 year old. We also had access to use a canoe, kayak and paddle boat which they also provided life jackets for. We used all of them and it was a lot of fun, especially for the kiddos. Plenty of towels for everyone and all we really needed to bring was food. Kitchen was stocked with the dishes, pans and utensils that we needed. There are 2 fire pits, one close to the cabin and one on the lake, we used the one by the lake the most as it had a really nice view. Thank you for a relaxing and enjoyable stay! Looking forward to coming back.

Served it’s purpose but could use some work

We used this as a retreat for a church youth group. Pros: It certainly sleeps a lot of people, which is exactly what we needed it for. And the air conditioning works great. It was easy to find and close to the lake. This is definitely a man’s retreat and held to a man’s standards. It is quite dirty. We found a lot of trash and even a dirty diaper in the outside area. Some thing that is not made clear in the listing is that one of the bathrooms is actually in the garage. It is not finished and while it suffices as a place to do your business, it was quite dirty. The upstairs was clean enough. The grills were also very dirty. The property is not very well-maintained. The docks have seen better days and the grass needs to be mowed. Some thing else to keep in mind, is that there is no shade on the property. Luckily the neighbors across the street were not using their home and so we ended up spending a lot of time under their big shade trees. The owners were friendly and live on site, so they are there for any questions or concerns. Something else to know is that the lake is very shallow and the water is very murky. We did not realize how shallow it was and some of our girls jumped off the end of the dock and ended up hurting themselves. This place was certainly not luxurious but adequate for our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Richard Poland

Judy and I are both retired and enjoying life at the lake. It is busy in the summer with boating and entertaining. The fall and spring are always a welcome season with the cool temps and changing of the seasons. Winter is wonderful with all the water fowl and eagles. The pelican come by in the spring and fall and are always a joy to watch. We have rescued two white pelican and delivered them to the rescue center in Kansas City. The know us as the wildlife rescuers of Big Lake in Kansas City rescue center.We enjoy meeting new people and insuring they have a pleasant stay with us. In our spare time we enjoy playing cards and traveling the different states. I have been to all 50 states and Judy is working to that goal also.

Why they chose this property

Big Lake is an overlooked gem of NW Missouri. It is in both the Missouri and Mississippi river migration fly zones. The bald Eagle are plentiful. We have sighted 53 bald Eagle on the ice at one time. We are away from the hassle and bustle of the big city, but we are midway between Omaha and Kansas City both just and hour and a half away.

What makes this property unique

Almost one acre of land to use for recreation and gathering. Several gas grills available for use. A 20X20 sunshade tent and several tables and chair for reunions and meetings. Five camper hook up available for more housing. We have hosted up to 44 at one reunion.
