Located directly on Table Rock Lake, our 4 Bedroom, 3 Bathroom home has everything to make your vacation perfect. As you enter our main floor, you will find our open living room, dining room and kitchen area. We have supplied everything you need to cook those perfect meals together as a family. Take a look at the lake directly behind the house as you cook in the kitchen. If you are bringing lots of groceries, we have 2 more refrigerators- a second in the garage, and a third one downstairs in the wet bar area!!

Our main floor also offers a king bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and king bedroom and bathroom. No stairs required to access these bedrooms.

Retreat to the basement for a second living space, queen bedroom, double queen bedroom, and bathroom.

Our second living room is the perfect place to hang out, watch movies, and play a game of pool. You will love the newly added 75 inch TV to watch your favorite games. The wet bar area makes as a perfect gathering space!! If you would like more games, we have converted our garage into our game room with pingpong and foosball. Also enjoy the TV in the garage area if you would like to bring a game console for the kids. If you are looking for more sleeping areas, we have supplied 3 roll away beds and a pull out chair bed for extra sleeping.

All or our bedrooms and living rooms on both levels have sliding glass doors with access to the deck or lower level to enjoy a gorgeous lake front view of Table Rock Lake.

Have dinner out on the deck taking in the outdoor scenery. We offer a propane Weber grill to cook up some barbecue yumminess! We also have 2 outdoor ceiling fans to keep you cool.

Swim, fish, paddle board, canoe, kayak and boat all right behind the house. Relax in the Hot Tub or hang out at the outdoor bar!! We provide paddle boards, a canoe, and a kayak. We also have a large outdoor firepit area for you to enjoy a campfire:) Drop your boat into Table Rock Lake right next door!

The best family meeting spot!

Surprising seclusion with plenty of room for your next family get together. We had six adults and a little one, each space was perfect for any particular needs. Enjoyed the waterfront, but watch your step. If you want game night, check, if you want ping pong, check, billiards, check, corn hole, check! Fill the fridge so you don’t need to leave, it has everything. Highly recommended.

Great Lake access

Couldn’t have asked for better and more private lake access. We thoroughly enjoyed paddle board and kayak. Lots of room for large group. We didn’t go into town because enjoyed the lake trip. Loved yard and bear accents.

The house was great! Within 30 minutes of arriving, my friends all agreed that they wanted to come back next year!The descriptions are accurate. We were very happy that each bedroom had it's own sliding patio/deck doors. The hot tub, grill, fire pit, all as expected. The only ask for improvement is to re-felt the pool table.Communication with the owners was excellent! Check-in and check-out was painless. They checked in with us mid-stay to make sure everything was going well.Thanks for a wonderful time!

Private with lots of recreational activities.

This house was so nice as it was private and not a chain of cabins. There was so much for young adults to do. We cooked all our meals with plenty of kitchen necessities available. Lots of sleeping space and access to the lake was amazing! Would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful stay at this property and thoroughly enjoyed the fire pit. Unfortunately there were some parts of the house that were in disrepair like the dishwasher, dripping kitchen faucet, downstairs TV that wouldn't shut off, deck ceiling fans that didn't work (I think the battery was dead in the remote). These were minor technical difficulties that can be fixed so we would still recommend staying here.

BEST VACATION PLACE IN MISSOURI!!!

Our family stayed here for a week vacation, and it was AMAZING!! The pictures don’t do it justice!! The cabin and property are Beautiful, and have everything you need to just sit back, relax and have Fun!! From the Canoe, and Kayak, ping pong and pool table, we always had something to do! Just sitting down by the water and watching our children play was so peaceful! The Hot Tub was wonderful and so clean and the beds were so comfortable! The place is so clean and immaculate and fully furnished for all you need to get away!! The owners spared nothing on making this the best rental in Missouri! Our family takes a vacation together every year, and we take our children to Silver Dollar City, and this will be the place we come from now on!! It truly was AMAZING!! Thank you for sharing this GEM with other families!! We will be back!!

Wonderful Vacation!

The property was peaceful, very relaxing. With multiple things to do attached to the property. My family enjoyed playing ping-pong and lounging out on the deck. Lake levels were high, sad about not getting much water time. But,that has nothing to do with how amazing the place was.

We had a great stay. Enjoyed the property very much.

House is in a great location. Used the canoe. Rented a pontoon boat for a few hours from the Kimberling Marina, which isn't too far away. Branson is a short drive and we took in a show and some casual dining. Late September/early October is kind of slow tourist wise in Branson. So, light crowds, but not as many choices for shows. Loved the fire pit, and used it almost every night. Saw several deer on the ridge to the south almost every evening - pretty cool. We had great weather, too. I recommend this property for a family or small group. There were 4 of us, and we all had plenty of room. Owners responded quickly when we needed propane tank replacement for the grill.

We had a great time. Loved the hot tub for this time of year. Kayak was taken down to the lake for a short paddle. Plenty of parking a huge plus as we had three vehicles. Property had plenty of space to explore. Was a quick 20 min to Silver Dollar City, and 30 min from the strip.
