This place is truly a gem! Lucy was an amazing host, and extremely helpful. She truly goes above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience. We were driving all the way from Oklahoma with our boat and she gave us detailed instructions on where to launch, how to back into the driveway or where we could leave our trailer for the week. We ended up just leaving the trailer in the area she described, which was fine. The cabin had an amazing view and we loved all the different patio furniture, especially the hammock! We used the boat slip, which was really nice being able to take the boat out as much as we wanted without having to launch and load each time. The dock has a power outlet, so we could recharge our troll batteries. The Patriot Point Marina/store directly across from the cove has boat gas and just about anything else you would need if you forgot anything. Come on in Cafe is good for breakfast, and we ate at Tavern Smokehouse and El Caporal in Camdenton which were both excellent. We toured the Bridal Cave on a rainy day which is worth checking out if you like caves. This is our favorite vacation so far, it was very relaxing and the fishing was also very good. We caught several bass, catfish, and even a couple drums. I caught a 10lb blue catfish, which is my biggest ever fish so far. We already want to come back! If you're looking for a quiet lake getaway with great fishing and amazing views right in your backyard, this is it.
