About this property

Peaceful Lakefront Retreat with Private Dock, Fire Pit, Kayaks

  • www.fryelakehouse.com

    We’d love to share our beautiful modern lakefront home with you and your family. Designed for gathering and relaxing, the home features large open spaces, soaring ceilings, and oversized windows that fill the house with natural light. There are four full bedrooms plus a fifth bunk room for kids. A recently renovated garage adds a fully climate-controlled hangout and sleeping space, allowing the home to comfortably sleep up to 15 guests.

    The house offers two spacious living areas—one with a cozy fireplace and the other with a large sectional, 60-inch TV, game table, and seating perfect for movies or lounging. The remodeled kitchen opens directly onto a fully furnished screened-in patio overlooking the lake, a favorite spot for morning coffee and conversation as the sun comes up over the water.

    The main-floor master suite includes a king bed, private TV, and access to the upper deck. On the lower level are two bedrooms, one with a private en-suite bath and the other with easy access to a full hallway bath. One of the bedrooms has a king size bed, and the other queen. Both feature sliding glass doors with direct lake views—many guests fall asleep watching the moonlight ripple across the water. A smaller lower-level bedroom includes a twin bunk bed for kids, and an additional cozy loft bedroom upstairs with a queen bed.

    The converted garage is a standout feature, serving as a game and sleeping room with carpet, heating, and air conditioning. It includes a king loft bed with a full bed underneath, an additional sofa, and space to sleep up to five. Entertainment includes classic arcade games (NBA Jam, NFL Blitz, Pac-Man), ping pong, foosball, a 65-inch TV for your gaming system, and a vintage pop machine—perfect for kids, teens, and young-at-heart adults, especially on rainy or cold days.

    Outside, enjoy double decks with dining space and a Blackstone grill, regular grill, plus a lakeside fire pit with Adirondack chairs—ideal for s’mores, sunsets, and unwinding with your favorite drink. The spacious yard is great for games, and we provide several yard games stored in the garage.

    Just steps from the house, the private dock features lounging areas with fans, a covered table for dining or games, a bar area, Bluetooth speakers, and a diving platform. Guests are welcome to enjoy the provided water toys, including floatables, a surfboard, skis, a wakeboard, two paddleboards, three kayaks, and a Lilly pad. Boats are welcome but must be tied to the dock, as the slip is owner-occupied. Boat rentals are nearby and can deliver directly to the dock, and a public boat ramp is just minutes away with ample driveway parking for cars and trailers.

    The quiet cove is tucked away from the main channel, offering calm water for swimming, floating, and fishing, while still providing easy boat access to nearby gas docks and waterfront restaurants. Groceries, restaurants, gas, tackle shops, and convenience stores are about 10–15 minutes away by car. Golf courses, caverns, antique shops, hiking and biking trails, and the Osage Beach Outlet Mall are all within a short drive.

    Please note this is a family-friendly home in a peaceful cove with mostly year-round residents. This is not a party location, and we ask guests to respect the quiet, relaxed atmosphere. Parking is limited to five vehicles unless prior approval is given.

We loved this lakehouse! Plenty of room for our 4 families and plenty to do. Next time, we will probably rent a boat or jet skis prior to going as most places were pretty booked up and its hard to look at them around us and not want to have one. However, they had really nice kayaks and standing boards. I rated a couple of things 4 as I did notice some dusting issues in the loft room and spider webs etc on decks but to be expected living on lake in summer. I would suggest more lighting or instructions on how to put the outside lights on by the walkways. There were solar lights but not enough in our opinion. Maybe more dishes such as strainer and pans unless we didnt find. Overall, this place is a nice place to make family memories. Thanks!

Great Family Vaca

The house was exactly what we needed with room to spread out. The dock was great and the kids swam like crazy. Communication with Todd was quick and responsive. We would definitely stay here again for our family lake trip.

When can we come back?

This house has it all. Plenty of comfy beds. A stocked kitchen and great outdoor grill. An amazing dock on a quiet cove. Great communication with host. Short drive to nearest restaurant. Convenience store near as well. Garage takes a bit to cool down so turn on a/c promptly. Can’t wait to come back!!!

Family birthday weekend

This home was beautiful, and our entire family enjoyed the beautiful setting and the many amenities! We loved the quiet vibe on the lake, the stone fireplace, and the secluded dock. We were too late in the season to enjoy swimming and boating, but we hope to come back in the summer! Everyone loved the game room, big and small kids alike! Thank you so much!

Perfection every time

This is the third time we have stayed, and we will keep coming back. You don't need to wait till the summer to enjoy this home. It has everything and is beyond comfortable, no matter what you are doing. Todd is great to work with, very responsive if needed, and ensures you have everything you need for a good stay. If you find this home available, book it!

A space for everyone

All our introverts loved the early morning solitude of the dock, screened porch, lower patio swing, and upper deck. Each had their own space for quiet study and reflection. Later in the evening, our party of nine had a blast playing board games around the oversized kitchen table. And with three refrigerators total, we could easily store all the perishables we had for the week.

Family with lots of kids

Can’t say enough about our stay. Todd was SUPER responsive. The game room was a dream for the kids. The screened in porch allowed us to read and hear the cicadas. Kids swam and swam and swam off the dock. Caught lots of crappie and sunfish. The house really had everything you need and we barely left during our stay. Most relaxing trip ever. I would say this was one of the best VRBOs we’ve stayed at.

Relaxing Family Vacation

This house and the owners are absolutely amazing!!! The house is more stunning in person! The entire process from booking, paying, and communication with the owners was seamless. We had a total of 10 people 4 adults and 6 young adults and teens. The young adults loved the house, the dock, and the screened porch. The 2 teen boys had the best time sleeping in the converted garage, fishing in the kayaks, and jumping off the dock. Everything you need is at this home...from the kitchen, to the views in the living room, to the spacious bathrooms, the games in the garage...I could go on and on. Todd and Melissa were absolutely the best!!! Communication was never an issue, they are so generous and easy to ask questions, and so helpful. We plan on coming back to this house next year...we had the best time at this house and on the lake. When we get our lake hpuse, I hope its exactly like this one!!! Thank you Todd & Melissa!

Wonderful Lake House Experience

Our family had an amazing time at this beautiful lake house. It comfortably accommodated our family of five and our six additional extended relatives. As frequent visitors to the Lake of the Ozarks, we can confidently say that this is our favorite place to stay. The location on the quieter part of the lake was perfect for our younger family members who were learning to water ski. Having a boat ramp just minutes away made it convenient to put our jet ski in the water (the private ramp was even visible from the home). The dock was spacious and ideal for lounging, watching the kids play in the water, and fishing. Our children absolutely loved the water toys, including kayaks, a lily pad, diving platform, and paddle boards. Indoors, we enjoyed playing board games, retro video games, foosball, and ping pong. The screened sunroom and large deck provided a great spot to enjoy the lake view, rain or shine. The fire pit was a cozy addition after long days on the water. The kitchen was impressively large, and we especially enjoyed cooking on the Blackstone Griddle. Although we didn’t use it during this visit, the full-size grill will be on our list for future stays. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable for all the guests. Lastly, the outstanding communication—from our initial inquiry to the check-out process—made our experience even better.

This was our first visit to the Ozarks and didn’t quite know what to expect. We were very happy with the place we stayed at with ample room and access to the water. There were plenty of amenities to use in the water and being the quieter side of the Ozarks we enjoyed not being on a busy waterway. Would be happy to stay here again in the future!

This was our second visit to this property, and it was just as great as the first. There was plenty of room for our family, and having the master bedroom, kitchen, and deck all on the main floor made it easy for my elderly parents to enjoy the space.The kids loved the game room and the dock amenities. The property is located in a quiet part of the lake, making it perfect for water skiing, tubing, and jet skiing without heavy boat traffic. The boat ramp we used was directly across the cove from the house and only a couple of minutes away by car.Communication was excellent from booking through check-out. We look forward to returning in the future.
