We enjoyed our stay and had a fabulous time. The house was super clean and everything that you need for a great stay. We really enjoyed spending time by the fire pit outside, the scenery was beautiful and relaxing and the wood stacked and ready was a special treat.
Nice clean spacious place, had plenty of room in the home and outside to enjoy our stay. Enough space to park 2 trucks and a our pontoon, electric on the front of the garage made it easy to charge boat batteries. Covered area for grilling, nice deck to sit outside or covered front porch if needed. Second time we've stayed and it works well for us. We do an annual trip for my buddy and I, our boys and our dad's to all get together for a "guys trip". Toys and a trampoline that the boys enjoyed and games that we all enjoyed.
The club stayed at your house and we had 7 bass boats with plenty of room and outlets to plug in. the house was amazing. very nice location, fire pit, grills and very remote! We would recommend this to anybody. Thank you for everything!

So glad you enjoyed it and were able to have enough space to park everything. Come back any time!
We are from St. Louis, but we fell in love with Mark Twain Lake and the surrounding areas during COVID. We have rehabbed and used our home exclusively for ourselves and friends, but we have now opened it for others to enjoy.
Why they chose this property
We love the small town feel in Monroe City, but we also love the many outdoor activities that Mark Twain Lake and the surrounding land offers. Our ideal day is spent on the lake followed by grilling out and enjoying a bonfire.
What makes this property unique
Our home was completely renovated from top to bottom, so everything is new. The house sits on top of a rolling hill that overlooks the surrounding grounds. An occasional "MOOO" might be heard in the distance from the cows out on pasture at a neighboring farm. It's an amazing view and secluded from the surrounding homes. You can cook at home, or head into town to one of the local restaurants. Our favorite is Casa Tequila! The pond can be fished, and you're guaranteed a bite in seconds. Bonfires at night are so much fun! The property has some flat areas to play football, soccer, catch, etc.
