This property was wonderful, the view is amazing, the house is a perfect size for a couples getaway. The hot tub was hot and clean, the area was perfect for a quiet trip! The host was easy to work with, gaining entry was easy and simple. We couldn't recommend this cabin enough, perfect size and set up. Just the space we needed! We ate at the Steak Inn, it was worth it, the best steak I have ever had.

Cliffhanger Cottage is beyond cool! It was extremely clean, the view was amazing, the hot tub awesome. We simply could not be happier with our stay. The cottage is very small and cozy. There were so many little welcoming, oftentimes funny, touches. The Cottage is one minute from a grocery store and 2 or 3 minutes from a number of great restaurants. We suggest Casa Maya. Our getaway was made extra special by this little cottage and Shon and Trish. Do not hesitate! Grab that loved one and get to this little slice of heaven.

Every single detail was beautiful. The color scheme, decor, textures had an elegant and luxurious feel with fun sprinkled in. The binder of tips took the guesswork out of where to eat and what to do. The guestbook was a special addition - I loved reading the entries. Every morning, the shades around the bed came up and we watched the sunrise from under the cozy and soft covers. The location was incredible. On the last day, we drove to the dock across the way just to take a picture of the placement of the home among the cliffs. The soap smelled amazing and in doing some research (to buy it for home) found that its also an incredible company that provides soap and hygiene classes to those in need all around the world. We love to see it. The wide array of games and hang out options in the property itself made us feel like we could've stayed in all day. The hottub was the perfect combination of cozy and private, but we were able to see the sky and stars. The neighbor's dog popped over for a quick visit one morning. He was so sweet and polite - definitely a delightful surprise for two avid dog lovers. We cannot wait to come back.

About the host

Hosted by Shon Gerber

Host profile image

We are Shon and Trish Gerber and we are from the Wichita, KS area. We have been married for over 32 years and it has always been our dream to own a lake home and more recently to own a VRBO property that we love and can share with others. We love being a host because it provides us with the opportunity to share our Table Rock Lake cottage with our guests. This home is our "little slice of heaven" and whether you’ve come to relax, explore, or just enjoy a change of scenery, our cottage is yours to unwind and feel at home. We’ve taken care to make this space cozy, comfortable, and fully stocked for your stay. Feel free to settle in, and let the cottage be your retreat to recharge, make memories, and experience the peaceful surroundings.

Why they chose this property

Imagine a cottage that is perched on a cliff, tucked in amongst the cedar and pine trees, with breathtaking views of Table Rock Lake. As you wind around the small road that leads to our cottage you are enveloped by the beauty and peacefulness of the surroundings, a quiet neighborhood that draws you in to sit back, relax, and enjoy nature.

What makes this property unique

The Cliffhanger Cottage is a unique and comfortable bungalow-style cottage that provides a stress-free, relaxing vacation for our guests. Built in 1932, this charming cottage is the perfect couples’ hideaway to enjoy the tranquility and scenery of Table Rock Lake from inside this small 500 square foot home or from the outside on an equally large wrap around deck that boasts views of the lake, the Shell Knob Bridge, amazing sunsets, star gazing, and bird watching.
