Our property sits on the cliff with a little over half an acre overlooking the lake. It is located in a remote rural area that is developing. The home is newly updated and completely furnished with all that you will need. During the day, you can enjoy the views or access Belton Lake through various parks throughout the season. The kitchen is fully stocked with cooking appliances and spices. The living space is perfect for relaxation or playing board games provided. In the evening, you can grab a blanket to cozy up by the fireplace outside on the patio. Whatever you choose to do, we are sure you will feel right at home! \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* NOTE: This home comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests. It does NOT include the 4th bedroom. For extra parties, the guest house with a 4th bedroom and full bathroom is available for an additional cost of $125/night + a one time $65 clean fee. Please message us prior to booking if you and your guests are interested in securing this space. ————- Other important items to note prior to your stay: Owl Creek Hideaway is tucked away on the north side of Belton Lake. Due to our slightly remote location, the wifi signal can be weak from time to time. As the property is on a cliff and not fully fenced in, please take caution especially with pets and younger children. We do not have lake access and highly discourage exploring beyond the cliff as the terrain is unpredictable and unsafe. In addition, wildlife, snakes and insects (spiders, wasps, bees, flies, mosquitos, gnats) are very common in the area since we are near water and trees- especially during the summertime. We do have our home treated consistently through the year to help reduce the incidence of bugs, but are unable to control the natural elements surrounding the home. We ask that guests be vigilant by keeping doors closed, food covered and trash picked up as we will not be responsible for any injuries during your stay. We do provide life jackets along with a SUP board, a kayak, and some inflatables. Do ensure that equipment is strapped down properly when transporting - you will be response for any damage. Use these at your own risk and only when weather conditions permit. \*\*DUE TO THE DROUGHT, LAKE LEVELS ARE EXTREMELY LOW AND MAY NOT BE ACCESSIBLE. PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND PRIOR TO YOUR ARRIVAL. You can check the state site for updates on park closures. Our first and foremost priority is your safety. Please do not disregard these items when booking our space. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 23 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - In-room accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a zoo - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Bicycles - Billiards/pool table - Kayak - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Swimming nearby - Water tubing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Bicycles - Garden - Unit size: 1,400 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/40000000/39990000/39989800/39989751/9c696c90.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Great 'Lake House #2' Just Yards From Marina & Lake Access Clifton - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Air-conditioning 9.8 Exceptional 19 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-26&endDate=2026-02-27&selected=39989751&PinnedHotelID=39989751&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace, books, computer monitors](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/105000000/104250000/104243200/104243120/9f2ee5bb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lake Access, Kayaks, Firepit, Screened Porch Whitney - Pet-friendly - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning - Parking available 9.4 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-26&endDate=2026-02-27&selected=104243120&PinnedHotelID=104243120&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/73000000/73000000/72999000/72998944/0d7396f8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Levi Gin - Luxury Vintage Retreat Lorena - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Free Wi-Fi 10 Exceptional 24 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-26&endDate=2026-02-27&selected=72998944&PinnedHotelID=72998944&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111400000/111400000/111399971/67c2dcc2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Pecan Place with Game Room near Scott & White Temple - Kitchen - Washing machine - Pet-friendly - Air-conditioning 8.4 Very good 5 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-26&endDate=2026-02-27&selected=111399971&PinnedHotelID=111399971&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV, fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/98000000/97060000/97053800/97053786/b71edafa.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Shared Outdoor Pool & Patio: Whitney Retreat!

It was so relaxing to sit on the porch and enjoy the calm. The house was clean and well stocked with whatever we needed. Pots, pans, utensils, dishes and the best coffee pot we’ve had at a VRBO. The home was comfortable and had great feel. Like most lake homes, the surrounding neighborhood doesn’t always match the type of house you are headed to.

If i could make a couple of suggestions, replace the furniture as it is hard to set in and very uncomfortable. Secondly, area rugs should have backing or done away with as they are slick and present a slip hazard. Couldn't get hot water to work in main bathroom. Just a few tweeks it will be perfect! Beds were incredibly comfortable!! Thank you for the use of your property!! ##### John M.

Could enjoy it even from indoors though all the windows. Comfortable beds, cozy living area, delightful bay window & dining area. Bunk room small & obviously it does have bunk beds but the beds are comfortable. The extra guest room is probably best for one person but we were 2 & made it work for us. Enjoyed playing corn hole toss on the patio and pool in the garage with the door open and the sun coming in. Best spice cabinet I’ve ever seen in a VRBO. We loved it. & thank you Vickie for working with us. ##### Suzie C.

The house was adorable and clean, I didn’t have any problems with that at all. What’s not mentioned in the listing is that this house sits in the middle of an area where we didn’t feel safe. Some of the windows didn’t lock and the back double doors could have easily been broken into. The host was very easy to contact and was always prompt in responding to questions. ##### Lorie S.

It was confusing. It felt as if we were sneaking around trying to find it. There was very little lighting when entering. I thought there were beds for 3 couples. The 3rd bedroom had bunk beds. A couple slept on an air mattress. Everything else was great! Upon leaving, the gate broke and my husband fixed it. I think it was a bit over priced. I think the guest house should not be extra. We loved the patio and the view of the lake. ##### Lea J. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### mary kay r., Bolivar, MO 13 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Really unique with a beautiful view! We were concerned upon arrival due to passing through lots of run down areas getting to the house. The property didn't have me expecting such a huge side yard and the pool table/game room in the garage was really a bonus! We enjoyed the family centered layout of the house and the views were phenomenal. The owner was very easy to work with as well. We knew that internet would be spotty so that wasn't an issue. We found the beds to be extremely comfortable too. The house is stocked with high end dishes/utenils/cookware/linens which is always a plus. There was a strong smell when we entered the house--like a dog smell, maybe? But the house was immaculately clean. We got some Febreze and fragrance plug ins and it became something we just barely could notice. I have a nose like a blood hound though so that's likely more me than the property. We ran out of hot water because of the big tub and having five people so plan around that, but the games, the porch, even the extra upstairs space we also rented--met our needs perfectly and we hope to return again! ##### mary kay r.

Stayed 2 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel A. 7 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy The house was great, beds were comfortable and view of lake and sunset were amazing. House has all the comforts of home except a broom. Neighborhood is sketchy and will make you question staying but overall it was very nice! Back porch is perfect for morning coffee or a relaxing evening! Perfect for a family. Driveway is a little tight if you have a boat but not bad. Overall the host is amazing and communication is top notch! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8308f350-8b2f-4a28-a805-3b0b023e129c-1757265447711.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/67fd3d3b-50a2-45c0-a4a8-8937fd7f7c1d-1757265542243.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/31d00e01-9dd8-4573-9983-a4fc1e517e62-1757265542661.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d664c439-4869-43ed-8a55-4b42c9ce0117-1757265542830.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rachel A.
