The property was just as pictured. The house is beautiful and comfortable right down to every little detail! There was nothing lacking. We had two almost 14 year old girls who loved sleeping in the loft in the bunkroom. All of us adults had rooms with beautiful views and balconies/decks right off of them. We spent most of our time out on the main deck which had plenty of space and seating for all 10 of us. The dock was great, too! They have a couple kayaks and a lily pad to use plus we brought paddleboards and floats- so we had plenty to keep us busy right out in front of the house and the water was just perfect. I was nervous after other reviews mentioned how busy the lake was and the waves, but we really only started to notice that on Friday and then we left Saturday morning. We never had any problems being on the lake near the house. We also rented a pontoon for a few days and enjoyed boating to all the nearby restaurants for meals- there are tons to choose from! It was insanely hot and humid the week of our stay, but the house was so nice and cool inside and the ceiling fan over the main deck outside made it comfortable enough to sit out there- which was so nice! The kitchen has everything you could possibly need including a ton of spices and all those little things you don't always think of bringing along. The house- every room in it- is decorated perfectly! Usually I'm ready to head home after a week away- not the case here! It was the perfect location, too.

The house is great! Plenty of room for a big group with lots of amenities. The main channel location can be daunting if you're not used to the lake but we found that early in the week there are less waves and the larger waves on the weekend were quite fun!

The house has been very well renovated, the views were wonderful and the styling of the house was beautiful and very efficiently laid out. It was a perfect size for our family of 6 adults and 3 kids. The deck space was abundant and we spent a lot of time out enjoying the views on the various levels. We had small children with us, and while they were always supervised outside, it felt much safer than other lake houses we’ve stayed at. Chad was also very responsive with questions and flexible as we requested to add a night to our stay after we arrived to the house and he was able to accommodate. We would be very happy to stay again.

Awesome House

Was a huge disappointment to find out it was on the main channel, on a Harbor Hop weekend especially !!! When we looked at the blue dot that VRBO puts up on location for the house on 2 different computers, it shows it being in a cove approx. 5 or 6 houses back, and I was not made aware of address, or that it was on the main channel until after booking and no refund was available !!! Our criteria was for a cove house with a boat slip, the house is amazing and Chad and his wife have done an amazing job with the remodel. But it ruined 1 of our jet skis paint job and sank another one twice, with the tremendous waves that were happing on the weekend! We also had 2 days that were not able to access the house or be trapped in because they were re doing the tar on the street above unit, But Chad did graciously give a some credit for that inconvenience, ( Thanks Chad ! ) But overall great house !!! really steep driveway that has very limited room to turn around and go back out and very little parking - 2 cars max - with no room for trailers, pictures also show empty slips and upon arrival there is 1 slip used and 1 jet ski there ? I wouldn't say its bait n switch, but vrbo dot location was way off, empty dock was kind of misleading, and the fishing was really bad time of year I think ! I just think some of this stuff should be mentioned right out front so people are not shocked when they get address. Thanks, Don P.S. It truly is an amazing house !!! Kids and whole family enjoyed it !!

Best rental ever

This rental was the best house we have ever rented. The pictures do not do it justice. The owners have decorated this home with such detail you feel like you are home. The outdoor decks are incredible. The dock is amazing with kayaks to use. Every detail from kitchen to bathrooms to bedrooms is thoughtful. Communication with the owners was excellent. The owners knew we were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and left us a card and champagne. Even without that extremely thoughtful touch, they hit every detail. The house was immaculate when we arrived. We would highly recommend this house to anyone who is looking to rent at the lake. The views are incredible too.

Lovely stay in thoughtfully designed space

This place looks just as it does in pictures -- newly renovated with clever touches all over. The bedrooms and common spaces are maybe each a bit small if you fill up on sleeping capacity, but with the overflow space outside our group of 6 adults and 3 small kids were very comfortable. Appreciated the host's ready communication throughout. Only downsides were BYO shower supplies and beach towels, and you have to carry your own trash up the road. But overall definitely recommend! Beautiful property.

Beautiful modern rental with enough beds for everyone

We loved the Little Black Shack! Such a beautiful view of the lake and we enjoyed having access to the dock and the water. All of us had our own beds and the addition of rhe little cabin was perfect for our teenage son. The deck was lovely and we enjoyed grilling and hanging out with such an amazing view especially at sunset. The only downside perhaps for some future guests would be the extremely steep driveway and the inability to just walk out the door and take a walk or bike ride due to the hilly and windy and steep road. However the home itself and the dock made it all worthwhile. Everything was comfortable and modern. Some of the appliances could use an upgrade eventually but not a deal breaker. Communication with the host was great. We would definitely return and make this our home away from home.

Little Black Shack for the Win!

Great property which is as advertised. Prior to check in, Chad was highly responsive via text to answer any questions we had regarding the home, nearby attractions, etc… Our party consisted of two adults, two 19 year olds, two 17 year olds, and a 15 and a 14 year old. The home had enough space for all, and enough space to not be on top of each other. The two kayaks, splash pad, and ample dock space made for great afternoons on the water. The available boat slip makes it convenient for boat access. If you are looking to rent a boat, I’d highly recommend Rad Dad’s Boats. They deliver, and pick up which makes for a hassle free rental. Additionally, our rented tri-toon was perfect. In regards to location, Little Black Shack is on the main channel, which allows for easy access to head towards the Bagnel Dam to hit many of the popular restaurants, or head toward Bridal Cave area and find a quiet finger or cove to relax in. Lastly, after a long day on the lake, the views from the deck are amazing. Everyone had a great time, and we hope to be back.

As Good as Advertised!!

The place is perfect for a family or group, plenty of places to sleep and 3 full bathrooms! Kids loved the bunk bed room and the teenager loved the newest addition - the bunk room, attached to the deck- for some privacy from the little ones! We enjoyed the deck in the morning, especially the two swing chairs. The dock was perfect for our boat. Very clean, all the amenities and an owner who answered our call - can't beat that!! Excellent!

The house was great and accommodated two familys with two children each. They had everything that you could ask for. We only had one draw back and that was have to take our trash the Y and pay $3.50 for kitchen trash bags and $5 for big black trash bags. The owner was great and responsive and was easy to get a hold of. We would love to stay with them again.

Pros/cons

The house is very nice, clean, and neighbor was nice. I would love to see something added to the shower floor in the master bath. I slipped twice and my kids completely fell. Garbage is expensive - they charge per bag and type of bag. Friday thru Sunday, the wake is terrible!!! I would not bring a bass boat. It broke two dock lines, scuffed boat pretty good, and broke fishing poles. We did follow the recommendations from the owners on how to park the boat and the neighbor warned us.

I've spent much of my life at the Lake of the Ozarks. I've seen a lot of places. This one's the best. It is utterly charming. The rooms are outstanding. So are the views of the main channel on the 30 mile marker. The kitchen is just right, too.
