Accessible Lake and Farm Retreat w/Fresh Eggs, Nature Trails, and Gameroom
PEACEFUL & ACCESSIBLE LAKE RETREAT ON BULL SHOALS – 4BR/2.5BA | FAMILY-FRIENDLY WITH FARM PERKS
Tucked away at the end of a quiet dead-end road on the Theodosia Arm of Bull Shoals Reservoir, this newly constructed 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers a serene escape in the heart of the Ozarks.

SURROUNDED BY NATURE, STEPS FROM THE LAKE: Relax on the spacious covered wraparound deck or enjoy the shaded patio on the lower level. Deer and other wildlife often pass through the surrounding woods, and “The Maze” walking path just outside the front door invites quiet exploration. Guests are welcome to roam the seasonal fruit orchard and u-pick garden. Your host, a beekeeper across the road, offers honey tastings and shares a glimpse into beekeeping life.

Awesome Family Weekend!
What a wonderful “home away from home!” We had an incredible time enjoying this amazing property with our large family. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very comfortable and accommodating. The kitchen was very well-stocked and designed for multiple cooks. It was a very nice touch that we were able to pick peppers, tomatoes and onions from the U-Pick Garden and cook them for our Taco Night. We also very much appreciated the homemade brownies, honey and farm fresh eggs left for us as a gift from the hosts.
We spent a lot of time in “The Barn” basement room playing board games and had epic Ping Pong and Foosball battles. Our Grandkids thoroughly explored the very unique Maze in the woods behind the house as a wonderful place to play hide and seek. All in all, highly recommend staying here with a large family or just seeking a very peaceful yet entertaining getaway.

Relaxing Time
The house was perfect for our group of 8. We had 4 adults and 4 young kids with us. The kids loved playing downstairs. The table games kept them occupied. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and relaxing. Steve (the host) was so quick to respond to anything I asked him about to do in town. He even gave me a map! This place was great and we'll be back at some point!

Missouri Family Reunion
Beautiful home built with comfort and convenience in mind. We loved it from the moment we arrived. The owners, Steve and Sherry, greeted us with goodies and were happy to share their garden with us. Seven of us stayed here including my 85 year old mother. We gathered on the deck and in the kitchen every evening. We played games and had fires in the fire pit. We look forward to a return visit.

Beautiful home and amazing hosts!
This home was spectacular! All the furnishings were comfortable and there was everything we needed for a longer stay. The hosts live right across the road and were the sweetest people! Some of our favorite things were the deck and the shuffleboard table. We had fun family game nights downstairs. It was very peaceful in the Ozarks, with about an hour drive to family attractions like Branson and Silver Dollar City. We are looking forward to coming back to this home away from home!
