Great communication with host, he was always quick to reply. House was clean and well-stocked, beds were comfortable. Outdoor area was fantastic- multi-level deck with lots of seating, hot tub, and fire pit. It is a little out of the way to get to but in general still just 15-20 minutes to get to most things. Very peaceful area, we barely heard anyone else around. A couple of notes: our fault for not noticing on the listing but there’s no shampoo or bath soap so bring your own. There are also no local (antenna) channels available so you either get things through your own subscription apps or the Roku tv channels. We weren’t able to watch a game we wanted on Fox because it wasn’t on our apps or the tv.This house is great for families and is probably a lot of fun in summer when you can be outside more (was mostly cold and rainy when we were there.)

Nice place to stay in the fairly secluded Cove we were able to bring our boat and park it on the side of the dock which worked out perfect with plenty of bumpers just around the corner. There’s a nice restaurant the boathouse which is a very upscale place has a swim up pool bar. There’s three gas stations within half hour mile of the place the lake is very great miles of boat rides and things to see caught some fish while we’re there we definitely will be back

Excellent stay!

Took my 2 young daughters for spring break somewhere different but similar this year compared to our prior few years. We’ve gone to the Smoky Mountains in recent years but wanted a different type of nature escape this year! Makin’ Waves was legit a great time. My girls loved wandering down to the dock just to hangout and dip their toes in the water. When we weren’t outside, we enjoyed the spacious, comfortable, and very clean house! Stark Caverns black light cave tour was cool, Redhead Lakeside Grill was a good lunch out, and overall, the 5-night stay was great. Andrew was easy to get a hold of when I initially had an inquiry about my entry code. We’d definitely stay again!

A Perfect Getaway!!

We just had a remarkable stay at Makin’Waves Lodge. The view is great and the house itself is spacious, spotless, and packed with every amenity you could want, from a fully stocked kitchen to cozy beds that make you never want to leave. The multiple outdoor spaces are perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails, and the hot tub was a relaxing plus! The hosts were super responsive and went above and beyond. Hands down, a wonderful getaway spot—already counting the days until we can come back!

Family fun on the Lake

We had a good time with family at this property. The dock was great, and the location was nice. There were some things that might need to be looked at in the near future. The stairs down to the dock were needing repair. The last step was hard to maneuver. The BBQ was very greasy and other furniture on the deck also. The house was clean and worked great for the seven of us with plenty of room.

The house was adorable and very clean. We all slept very well after long days of playing in the lake. The kitchen is very spacious for cooking. We loved the options on the property, swimming, using the dock for our jetski, the hot tub, and having campfires. Beautiful!

Great location, perfect for our family of 6

We enjoyed being right on the water - spent time on the lake tubing, floating, fishing. Especially enjoyed the covered deck for morning coffees, afternoon naps, and evening card playing! Not many mosquitoes to speak of which made it even more enjoyable. We ate in some thanks to the fully stocked kitchen and also ate out some too. Definitely used the on-site laundry too. Highly recommend, especially if you want a quieter area of the lake with quick access to everything!

We loved the making waves lodge. We were looking for a relaxing getaway with a beautiful view and that is what we got. We loved having the hot tub and the fire pit which was amazing on a chilly night. The house was beautifully decorated and very clean. It had everything that we could ask for. We reached out to the management company for early check in and was helped right away. Would highly recommend.

Can’t wait to go back

We rent a lake house for a week every summer and have yet to stay at a property more than once, until now. We had such an amazing time at Makin Waves Lodge that we have already decided it’s where will stay again next year. Andrew, the host, was wonderful and even accommodated our last minute desire to stay an extra night. Communication was 5 stars. The property itself was exactly as listed, which is rare in my experience. The house was very clean, beds were comfortable, and there were so many little extras at the house that speak to the thoughtfulness of the host. The towels, dishes, cooking utensils, etc were all in great condition and made making meals easy & enjoyable. The house is 5 stars. The outdoor areas from the huge deck right off the kitchen, to the hot tub, fire pit, covered seating area, and the dock were all amazing. All the areas were clean and well kept. You can tell the owner takes care of everything and wants guests to be able to just relax and enjoy the lake. The swim dock was where we spent most of our days. Everything was meticulously maintained , and the mini fridge was a great touch due to all the stairs. The jumping platform was a lot of fun. We stayed Monday to Saturday and the water was wonderful for swimming and floating. I research a place to stay every year and appreciate honest, thorough reviews. I could go on and on about this property….definitely 5 stars.

Fun getaway!

House was clean and the dock was very nice! We have stayed at several places in the Ozarks over the years and this had the best parking by far! The only things I wish to change was the number of stairs and the amount of boat traffic which caused it to be quite wavy even during the week. We loved the outdoor areas especially since we were able to watch TV under the cover deck while grilling out! Very quiet, private house for a group of moms wanting a break!
