Amazing Stay and Beautiful Home
Our families and friends had gathered for the new year holidays in this home. This home has brought a remarkable memory for all of us. It has great facility for the big family gathering with all bedding, kitchen, game and multiple facilities. All the bedding, bathing, kitchen arrangements are perfect. Rachel - Property Manager was very helpful in providing all the required details very well in advance and flexible in timing. We would love to stay again in this cabin house in future.

Thanksgiving Week
Overall, I would say this house needs attention and upkeep. The main refrigerator leaks(as stated in another review) and it seems to have been leaking for some time because the wood wall next to it is pretty rotten. The hot tub did not work. We were told this came to the attention of the homeowners/managers just days before our arrival but was never told to us. With renting this home during Thanksgiving, having a hot tub was a big perk that people were looking forward to. The TV situation was a challenge with some of the TV’s not working and internet going out. The loft area that is advertised as a sleeping option for 6 is a bit unrealistic because it is out in the open and right above the living area and kitchen. If everyone gets up early, this probably isn’t a concern but if you have a mix of older and younger people, as we did, sleeping in that space was not ideal. Another washer/dryer would be nice since the house sleeps so many. We made it work but I think the house is probably a better option for a summer rental. It is a scenic area, right on the lake. The screened in porch areas would be nice. It is convenient to any store you would need. Lots of seating in the house. The owners/ managers could benefit from a backup contact for renters to connect with during their stay. They had a family situation come up during the week of Thanksgiving so we did not want to bother them, but also had no one to reach out to when we had questions or needed some help.

There is a water stain on the floor board adjacent the refrigerator but when checked after you departed it was not found to be leaking. I apologize that the hot tub was not working for you. The repair person first told us it had been repaired before you checked in so we were not aware it still had a problem. As sometimes happens the initial fix did not work requiring ordering a new part so it took the repair people another 10 days to fix it. We really wish we could control when appliances break and how fast they can be repaired. Each TV has the same remote FireStick control and you had problems learning how to use the remote. All TV's were checked and found to be working during your stay and were still working after your stay. You texted to let us know one TV was on the DVD input and you were told to use the remote to switch the input to watch TV. We also requested you call us if you still had problems switching the input so we could coach you through that. We did not get a call and this TV was checked after your departure and found to be working normally. We do of course have a caretaker who goes to the home when they are needed but the need for the caretaker was not communicated. We did communicate that you could email, text or call anytime and when you did text we replied promptly.

Overall, the house was nice. There was plenty of room for a large family/friend getaway where everyone can be together. It could use a good deep cleaning though as the floors were dirty and cobwebs were found in multiple places. The property manager was easy to work with and answered any questions we had.

Thanks for the 5 star review and I am glad you found us easy to work with. We have struggled to get the home as clean as we would like this year and after a year of trying to coach up our cleaning team we have switched services. We also replaced nearly all of the sheets, got new softer towels, installed soap and shampoo dispensers in all of the showers. Most importantly the owners have moved to the lake which will allow for more frequent inspections of of the property to be sure it is kept in the shape desired by our guest.

Very good facility, we had a great time, but a few repairs needed
The location on the lake could not be beat. We rented a boat and having a private yard was a real plus. The bathroom door on the main floor sticks very badly to the point that it was hard to even get out once you were inside. Someone who knows what they are doing. Could fix it in less than an hour. There is no handle on the sliding glass door downstairs. That also could be fixed in 10 minutes. The washer and dryer were in the bathroom of one of the upstairs rooms which made it a little inconvenient. The main refrigerator leaks water on the floor all the time. That would probably be more expensive thing to fix. Other than those items everything was marvelous and if we ever come back for another family reunion, we will consider staying here again. The kids loved the lake, because it was not cold, which made it very enjoyable for them to swim in. They spent hours climbing up onto and jumping off of the water trampoline. I had to laugh at the sign on the trampoline that said not to jump off of it. Like there’s anything else you would do with the trampoline in the middle of the lake. The swimming pool is tiny, but the littlest children really enjoyed playing in it. The pool table is in good shape and this is the first place we’ve ever stayed where all of the pool cues were in good shape. A lot of grocery stores and other stores are nearby and very convenient to shop at.

Family vacation
This house was perfect for our family. Plenty of bedrooms, a pool, a dock, a water trampoline, pool table, shuffleboard, and air hockey. The kitchen was well stocked with dinnerware and cooking utensils. There was plenty of seating for our family at mealtimes. We made good use of the lounge areas in the house and the porch on the back of the house. It's location was also accessible to places in Osage Beach: restaurants, ice cream, shops, go-carts, putt-putt, etc. The house does need a thorough cleaning and there were a few maintenance items to address, but these did not detract from our stay.

Excellent property for guys golf trip
We had a group of 10 forty-something men stay at the property recently for our annual golf trip/tournament. The property was expansive - allowing each man to claim a room and have space to relax between rounds. The patio area out back was a great meeting spot in the evenings - with enough table space and chairs to accommodate this boisterous group. We also appreciated the plethora of trash cans out front - as 10 men for three nights tend to accumulate a bit of refuse (aluminum cans and otherwise). The only minor item I would suggest that would help improve the property would be to add a basic ladder to the dock (as some of the other reviewers have pointed out). Rachel was very responsive and provided helpful correspondence in advance of our stay. We plan to return to the property next year. Thanks Rachel!

Great family get together
We went down there to celebrate our elopement with some close friends and family, and it was wonderful. The house had an interesting layout, but it all worked because it was divided up a bit so everyone had their own little areas. Some great games for adults and teens to play like pool table, board games, foosball or air hockey. The outside pool was a bit small but decent and the water trampoline was a fun surprise. I would definitely suggest a ladder for the dock and also a microwave for downstairs, one is not enough for a house that size. The property manager was very responsive the entire time and was able to answer all my questions leading up to the vacation.

Large Family Vacation Part 1
Lake House #7 was perfect for us, our nine kids and spouses and 12 grandchildren, ages 14 years to 5 mos. The house was very spacious and accommodations well suited for our group . The dining room was large enough for all of us to eat together and enjoy games and such. The kitchen was big enough for several of us to cook and prepare food at the same time and was well supplied with pots, pans, dishes, utensils and more. There are two refrigerators in the kitchen area and one large one in the lower level bar area. We used a few of our own coolers for icing down beverages. The large pantry gave us plenty of room to store our food items and supplies. We took along our own Blackstones , but there were two gas grills and a charcoal grill available. The bedrooms worked great for our kids and their family units to settle in to their own areas. The main level bedroom with window seat / bed was extra spacious with it's own bath. The other three main level bedrooms share one bathroom. The upstairs bedrooms were a little on the warm side and the families up there used a fan to help circulate the main level cool area. The upstairs bedrooms shared a little deck area, but there were a lot of spiders out there. The lower level bedrooms were cool and restful. The one with a half bath and trundle bed also has it's own outside exit. The game room and pool table / bar area also has a nice gathering area for watching TV. The lower level covered deck also had a lot of seating and was a favorite spot for our younger adults to gather to play cards and games. I hope to submit a 2nd part since I wrote so much.

Wilson Street Review
The location of this property was wonderful. We all enjoyed the water trampoline, pool and hot tub. Access to the lake was great and the dock accommodated the boats and jet skis with no problems. I would suggest a through cleaning of the property and having the necessary bedding available as there was nothing to put on the trundle beds. Also more blankets and bathroom towels were needed. The dock definitely needs a ladder especially for children. However, all 28 of us had a good time and decided it was the best place we have stayed!

Great spot for team bonding
I took my group of 26 team members including their significant others here for a weekend. We had a blast! Plenty of room to spread out. Since there is a range of ages and interests in our team, the layout of the house was great. The bunkhouse is perfect for the teens and early 20 something’s to have their own space, stay up late, and it felt like a sorority sleeping dorm a bit. They loved it! The adults enjoyed the spacious areas to spread out, cook food, and hang out in the pool. There is something for everyone. Great spot!

made the best of the week, but do not plan to return.
Had a large group stay for a week- ages 1-75. Upon arrival maintenance was there attempting to fix a lock on the front door. They were there for 3 hours after our arrival with the door open the entire time allowing for the bugs to enter and still did not have it fixed. They had to return two more times and asked to come at 9pm to fix it. The house was not cleaned-there were crumbs and dirt throughout. I called the property manager who stated the cleaning service left earlier to clean another house before finishing ours. She did have her cleaning service return, but they really just swept and vacuumed because all of the guests had already arrived. The floors were really filthy and needed a good mopping. We had a one year old and his hands and feet were black after crawling around on the floors. The house was covered in midges. We did learn that this year was an extra bad year for these pests, but the house was literally covered in webs and bugs. A good hose spray would do wonders. Having the pool was perfect for the younger kids who found it hard to access the lake. The pool still seems to have a slow leak and we had to turn the hose on daily to fill it back up. The pool pictures are also not updated, and the surround has jagged rock edging, which is not very practical. The dock does not have a ladder on it which made it extremely difficult for people to get in and out of the water. There are stairs to enter at the retaining wall, but since this location is not no wake during the week, the waves crash into the wall making it extremely dangerous to enter the rocky water. We had to rent a lily pad so the kids could get in and out from the dock, which was a huge help. The water trampoline offered hours of fun for the kids. The house size was great for our big group, and the bunk room was perfect for all the kids. You do have to go outside and upstairs to enter the bunk room, so keep this in mind for younger children who may seek out their parents in the middle of the night. All the tables and dining areas were exceptional. The upstairs bedrooms do get pretty warm at night and the sound carries quite a bit. The lower level game room was awesome. The pool table, air hockey and shuffle board provided hours of entertainment. Overall, we made the best of the week and a great time was had by all. The cleaning crew is certainly doing a disservice for the owners. The house needs a good deep clean.

The large open air porch of this lovely home offered beautiful views of a quiet area of the lake. Much time was spent in the pool, hot tub and on the water trampoline. The interior rooms of this home were fabulous with large bedrooms and well placed bathrooms. Several rooms had large areas for aero beds if needed. The pool table and game room tables were challenging and fun for all. Food preparation was easy in the large kitchen. Three refrigerators were definitely appreciated and well placed. We had so many places to sit down and enjoy our meals together and play games. There were two rooms with comfortable leather sectionals, ottomans and large TV’s. Several of the young adults slept in the huge double bed bunk room with bathroom and Play Station. Stores were only minutes away if needed…also interesting shopping areas and restaurants. A big thank you to Property Manager Rachel who was just a call away for any questions or concerns! OH WHAT FUN WE HAD‼️

Great location and lots of amenities
We chose this location because of all of the private rooms and bathrooms. It is close to many restaurants and shopping as well as being right on the lake. It was a win-win for location to golf and hiking opportunities also. We loved having access to all of the tables as we did not have to disrupt a game to serve a meal. Some of them were also used for those who had to check in at work. There were some down sides though. As others mentioned, one of the queen bedrooms on the main floor does not have walls that reach the ceiling so it is loud for that person. In general, it is a loud house - sound really carries. The bunk room is accessed via a separate entrance and not attached to the house so it was not suitable for the young kids. The doors to the top floor king suites would randomly open on their own. It was as if they did not close tightly. The kitchen and baths appeared clean enough but ceiling fans had clumps of dirt. The floors were not clean enough for our grandson who does not yet walk. We had to retrieve toys from under the couch on the main floor - yuck! There was even a sucker stick stuck to the floor. All in all, we made it work. On the bright side, being on the concave side of the lake provided GORGOUS views of the water!

We stayed in this home with a family group of 41 people total (ages 1-68), and there was plenty of room for all of us! The hot tub, pool, and dock were all used constantly during our 4 day stay and our family had a wonderful time! One caveat is that one of the main floor bedrooms is really a walled in office, so the walls don't go all the way to the ceiling. The bunk room was perfect for all of the kids and the generous kitchen and dining room fit us all for our meals! The kids will be talking about this family vacation for years to come!

I met my children & grandchildren at the lake. They had their own place already. I rented this enormous house for the pool. Unfortunately , the pool had a leak and would lose 2’ of water overnight. We had to run the hose constantly which caused the water to be so cold that the kids didn’t want to get in the pool. Very disappointed after spending so much money. Also, we would lose hot water randomly, then an hour or so later it would come back on. They were quick to send someone to look at it but it kept happening. The house is great for large group. Had I known there was an issue w pool, I wouldn’t have wasted my money. Should have been informed before they rented to me and took my money!!

We are glad this home worked out for your last minute reservation. I would agree that the pool had a leak that was notified to us after your check in. Had we had known we would have notified ahead of time. Unfortunately you can't patch and leave so it was nothing that could have been fixed in an hr during your stay. We got this fixed asap where that issue is no longer happening. The pool is no longer leaking. We made sure to answer all your questions in all of your calls and text messages in regards to things you were having difficulties with. The home has never lost hot water, it was taking little longer than a normal water would at your stay but the home has always had hot water. We had one of our workers go to the home after your calls and help with any questions there were about how things properly worked in the home. We had someone there in less than 30 mins to address any of your concerns and before he left he made sure everything was addressed to make sure your stay went well. Thank you -Keyla
