This was a great house. We really had a ton of fun. The patios are amazing and we loved the big TV since it was raining one of the days we were there. The only negatives were that when we got there, my code did not work to get into the house. However, I called the number in the email that I got and they reset the code and we were in within five minutes so that was not even bad. The only other thing was that there were a lot of little fruit flies flying around the house.

Clean comfortable place in quiet cove

Enjoyed a long weekend with friends at Gilly's retreat! Great location in a quiet cove with a boat slip to store our boat overnight. Check-in was super simple and the home was very clean. We had plenty of space for everyone to sleep and make meals. Enjoyed evening on the deck and around the firepit. Would definitely stay here again.

Great family getaway!

This is our 2nd time staying at the VRBO at the LOTO. The cove is in a nice location for littles to still enjoy the water. This year the slide off the dock was a big hit! It's nice having the lilly pad available, too. Plenty of fridge and freezer space dor big families and the covered area under the deck came in handy for the rainy day. We needed some kitchen towels, but communication with the property manager was very easy and they brought some over the next day.

Great first family vacation!

The place was perfect! Lots of space, nice amenities, quiet spot on the lake. It was just what we were looking for! This was the first planned family vacation with my 5 adult children. We all were comfortable…and relaxed lounging on the many outdoor and indoor seating areas. We loved our evenings around the outdoor fireplace or playing games around the kitchen table. Would definitely book again!!

Excellent Deep Water Cove Location

We had an excellent time staying here and the location is just about perfect for our family. At the 38mm, you have plenty of restaurants only minutes away by water in the lower mile markers, and still have lots of calmer water in the other direction. The house itself was very clean, the dock was huge and perfect for entertaining our family and storing our boat we brought with us. The house also had on site boat trailer parking which was very helpful since we towed our boat there for the weekend.

Very Nice

The dock and deck were the best part of our stay. Large deck and dock with a slide, (very wobbly) plenty of chairs and seating. The kayaks were in good shape and the everyone enjoyed the swim pad. Please note there are cameras around the outside of the property. The kitchen was a little small for 10 people moving around but well stocked. King size mattresses were good but the queen one you sunk in the middle. Bunk beds were the metal rickety kind but will hold kids. Overall a very nice property!

Nice calm water and quiet cove. Perfect for a family getaway!

This property was a perfect location for our family vacation to the Ozarks. The house had plenty of space and we were pleasantly surprised with all of the cabinet space in the kitchen. The dock was perfect and we enjoyed the lilly pad and lounge chairs. We look forward to booking this location again!

Great Peaceful Cove

This property was easy to get to and we loved how it was tucked back into the cove so it was very low key. The house overall was perfect for what we were looking for and the dock was even better. It is very hard finding docks with large boat slips but this one was perfect. The only complaint we found was that the grill, which we use a lot was very dirty and small for a place that can sleep up to 10 people. Overall great place.

Great location...

It's a location that has two lots. Along with that, the lots on either side aren't lived at right now. It was quiet and peaceful. Not a lot of others around. We had a bad weather week, but it would be a great place to be when the weather was nice. Bonus - we caught one fish. 🐟

Good place, Great location.

Some friends and I stayed here during the third week in September, and it was a great experience. The house was clean and well furnished. The upper deck was in good shape and the view of the cove was awesome. The lower level walkout was convenient. The fire place and side yard were an added bonus. We spent a good deal of time on the dock itself and in the lake. It was a great place to float and relax in the lake- which was still about 80 degrees. Overall, it was a good experience, and I would recommend it if you are looking for a good place at the lake.
