Great Getaway

My husband, myself, and our dog, chose to stay at this cabin again. We love it there. It’s very comfortable and I personally love the big tub. It was a great winter getaway for us.

From the owner: "Hi Jeffrey, we're glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay for the second time. We're sorry to hear about the bad weather and the ticks. Around this time of year, we do get lots of rain that causes moisture around the trees & wooded areas that can cause ticks to linger around. We do have exterminators that come out to spray quarterly for ticks and bugs. We hope that your next stay will be better."

Perfect for family time

Very happy with the home. Looked exactly as pictured. Very clean, well stocked, homey and comfortable. Only thing I did not like was that the queen/full bed rolled and had no headboard, would definitely correct that. Otherwise, very happy with our trip, VRBO and Evolve as a whole!

Lake cabin

Overall the cabin was a nice get away and our dogs enjoyed the backyard/front porch in a quiet area. The property contact was not helpful when asked questions and seemed unfamiliar with the property. Beds and linens were clean and comfortable. Could use a little more attention cleaning wise as there were dirty dishes and the tub wasn’t super clean.

Nice little getaway

My family and our dogs loved this house and the location. If you’re looking for something quiet, cozy, and private then this place is perfect. It’s about 30-40 minutes to Osage beach area and the same to bridal cave. The dogs loved laying out on the enclosed porch, there was a deer in the yard when we pulled up, watched an eagle fly in and land on a branch to eat his catch, and filled up the hummingbird feeders with sugar water so we could enjoy watching them! The only negative was that I couldn’t get the oven to work.

Our cabin only offers a lake view front and no boat ramp/dock. The area of Climax Springs/Lake of Ozarks is more seasonal. Most places close early during the fall and winter and reopen during spring break. If there is anything that we could assist you with please feel free to contact us."
