So relaxing!!!

We wanted a lowkey relaxing Bachelorette party weekend and that is exactly what we got! The location was perfect, the house was beautiful! The host was very accommodating and checked on us numerous times throughout our stay! The property was very nice and watching the wildlife added so much to our weekend! The cove was quiet, and even when it wasn’t, it wasn’t bad and kept us entertained! We had so much fun and would definitely come back!

Loved this place!!

Great location!! On a quiet cove yet close to stores & restaurants. When we were there is was very hot but the AC worked great. The cabin was clean, nicely decorated, had comfy beds. They had everything you need in the kitchen & to grill out. The outside area was huge! We enjoyed kayaking & swimming off the dock. Michelle, the host, was very pleasant & responsive. We will definitely stay here again!

Cute lakefront cottage

Cottage is impeccably decorated, pleasant, and relaxing. It was a little challenging to find the entrance; it was blocked by a closed gate that wasn't in the description. The kitchen is well stocked with the necessities. Beautiful view of a cove off the main lake.

Excellent Property!!!!

This was our first experience with Vrbo and it was great! The property was exactly as listed and better. The cove was quiet so the water was calm, great for swimming and fishing! The cottage was perfect for our family of 4. We enjoyed every second. The owner was so easy to communicate with and responded quickly to any of my questions. Will definitely recommend and hope to be back soon! Thanks for a great stay!

Great place to relax

This cottage is the perfect place if you are looking for a quiet, peaceful getaway. Located at the end of a cove, it is great for swimming, paddle boarding, and generally just getting away from it all. The house is very well stocked with kitchen items, bedding, laundry supplies, and tons of water toys including kayaks. All you need for your vacation is just yourself! Michelle was extremely attentive and communicative. We look forward to coming back!

Perfect family getaway!

This was the most enjoyable and hassle-free family vacation I have ever taken! Before the trip ever started Michelle kept up great communication and made sure we were ready for a great vacation. The property is amazing! Right on the water with beautiful views and docks that made the water so much more accessible. The whole family enjoyed the water toys/crafts available. The cabin is beautifully decorated, clean and had all the accessories available we would need for our stay. We would highly recommend Lazy Z Cottage and our family of 5 are excited for our next trip there!

Great visit!

We chose this property as this will be the last family vacation with our mini-schnauzer. This was a great yard for her to wander around in and nice and cool inside. Charming house on a great property! It was wonderful to be so close to the water. There were so many extras that we didn’t even have a chance to use (paddle board, paddle boat, canoe, private boat ramp and lift.) The fire pit, hammock, and lots of outdoor seating were all loved. Kitchen and toiletries were well-stocked. The sunfish were biting like crazy—great fishing just from the yard! The owner was amazing to work with.

Exactly as described! Very secluded. Very clean updated cabin. Nothing was missed! We will be back and would recommend this to anyone including friends and family. My only con would be the steep gravel road. If you don't have four wheel drive I would not recommend. We have 4x4's so had no issues.

Magnificent Memorial Day

My husband, myself, son, daughter-in-law, grandson and fur baby stayed and had a great time. Grandson and kids practically lived in the lake and played with all of the lake toys the owners allowed us to borrow. My husband sat at the lake and fished the entire time. Fur baby chased chipmunks the whole weekend. Fed the fish also. I relaxed and played also. Couldn't have been happier!!! All of us loved it and grandson asked to stay and didn't want to leave. Great communication with owners at all times and they checked on us to make sure we were happy and had everything we needed.

Lazy Cottage

The cabin was absolutely perfect, very well kept, perfect location right on the water with your own boat launch and dock. The drive way was a little tricky but we got it. Lots of near by places to drive your boat to. There is everything you could think of needing stocked in the cabin. Ice machine was a big plus. Im pretty particular on beds and bedding, they were very nice. Our dogs loved the lake, the side fence was really nice so they couldn't go bother the neighbors, although they were too tired to anyway with all the swimming. Michelle was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Ziesch

Host profile image
VRBO is experiencing booking issues online. Please call them to book. You can also reach out to the host directly. We booked our first time vacation to the Lake of the Ozarks, packed up the dogs, the boat and headed to Missouri May 2018. Loved it so much we stayed an extra week! We found this little gem, something everyone could share quiet moments with minutes to activities, restaurants and entertainment. We love and our guest love it here and hope you do as well. We look forward to getting your vacation request. Warm regards, Michelle 303-552-1388

Why they chose this property

Our home sits on 4 acres just off MM 8. Located at the back of a quiet cove. Has spectacular views of Lake of the Ozarks. Private boat ramp.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with this little retreat because it had a large yard for our dogs and love to entertain, We enjoy being right on the lake and love that we are at the back of the cove which gives us privacy that we are grateful after a day of boating! Our favorite part of being here is waking up to the beautiful sunrises with a nice cup of coffee. We like that everything is just minutes away by land or boat.
