Award-Winning Lakefront Vacation Home with Unmatched Views and Activities

Voted the #1 vacation home in Missouri by USA Today, this 8-bedroom, 9-bathroom retreat sits right on Lake of the Ozarks’ 7MM. Enjoy direct lake access with two private boat slips, a swim dock, and two expansive patios with fireplaces perfect for cool evenings. The home is ideal for large groups, offering a wet bar with multiple TVs for game day, two kitchens, and a rustic coffee bar.

Located in a quiet no-wake zone cove, this home is perfect for families looking to enjoy water sports like jet skiing, kayaking, and boating, all from your private dock. Swim and relax by the lake, or visit nearby attractions like Camden on the Lake, known for its vibrant nightlife and dining options just a short walk away.

Outdoor enthusiasts can explore the Ha Ha Tonka State Park, a beautiful area with hiking trails, caves, and castle ruins, or tee off at The Cove Golf Course and The Ridge Golf Course, both within minutes from the property. Families will love Miner Mike’s Adventure Town, offering fun for kids of all ages, and Sugar Creek Mini Golf.

For a more relaxing day, head to one of the many local wineries or take a scenic drive through the rolling hills surrounding the lake. The property is just 10 minutes from shopping, dining, and entertainment options, making it easy to enjoy all Lake Ozark has to offer. Whether you’re seeking an action-packed getaway or a peaceful lakeside retreat, this home delivers an unforgettable vacation experience.

There is a boat dock that has a 12 x 32 and 12 x 28 boat slips, 12x12 slip for two PWC's; private launch ramp. Swim dock with loungers for all ages.

Beyond Expectations

It can be challenging finding a location for a large family reunion! This beautiful lake property had it all and more!! Its own boat launch, a dock, two boat slips, kayaks, paddle boards…for fun in the water! We were there on a big football weekend, and the crowd enjoyed their favorite teams on big screen tvs on both the upper and lower levels. Be sure to check it out!

Girls Trip...Beautiful Home!

There were 7 of us, friends for over 30 years. We had the best time! The house is beautiful! We had more than enough room for all of us to gather or have a little alone time. The kitchens are very well stocked with everything you need to cook a fabulous meal. We spent most of our time on the outside deck, there are plenty of seating areas and tables. Chris was very responsive to a couple questions I had. I would highly recommend this house!
