This home is the perfect getaway for you and your family at the Lake of the Ozarks where there is something for everyone to enjoy.
This home is located in the back of a small cove off the main channel just off of mile marker 5 on the popular North Shore. This home is beautifully decorated and gives you a coastal cottage feel which invites you to relax and settle in for a great vacation.
The house is close to the water for easy access to the large dock which has both a swim deck and a sun deck. You can have hours of fun doing activities off the dock including swimming, paddle-boarding, kayaking, and playing on the Aqua Lily – all provided for your use! And don’t worry about filling up your suitcase with a bunch of beach towels – we have those for you too! Even though we are a short distance from the main channel, the water in the cove is calm and safe for swimming.
Brought your own boat or planning to rent one? We have a great 28 ft x 9 1/2 ft covered boat slip on the dock available for your use. By water you are just a short boat ride away to some local hot spots such as Boathouse Lakeside Bar and Grill, Shady Gators, Neon Taco, and Docknockers. We have parking for 2 vehicles directly in front of the house, and parking nearby for additional vehicles and boat trailers for a small fee.
When you feel like staying on dry land, enjoy the beautiful deck overlooking the lake which is located right next the gazebo. It is a peaceful place to relax and enjoy your morning coffee or your evening cocktail. Or move on over to the large hammock for an afternoon nap.
Preparing meals is easy to do with our fully stocked kitchen complete with drip coffee pot, Keurig coffee bar, griddle, pots, pans, knives, cooking utensils, etc. We also have 2 refrigerators to keep all of your food and beverages cold. Located off of the kitchen is a Weber propane grill ready for you to grill out on the deck. There is plenty of seating for everyone both indoors and outdoors. The kitchen has a large table to seat 8-10, with an additional 4 seats at the bar. Finish off your meal with s’mores roasted in the fire pit down by the lake.
There are three bedrooms that are each furnished with a queen bed, and the bunk room has double bunk beds which consist of Twin over Twin bunks and a Twin over Full bunk bed. There is also a pull-out sofa if you need an extra space to sleep and a pack n play provided. This home is best suited to sleep a maximum of 8 adults. We have a washer and dryer with detergent and dryer sheets available for your use.
If it happens to rain, we have plenty of indoor activities to keep you busy. There are plenty of board games, cards, Wi-Fi and 5 TVs throughout the house so you can stream your favorite movies.
If you are looking for activities that don’t involve the water, head into nearby town to walk the iconic strip by Bagnell Dam and do some shopping or dining at many of the local restaurants and bars. Also close by is an outlet mall, go carts, golfing, and grocery stores.
With a relaxing location and beautiful setting, Calm Water Cove is the perfect place to visit any time of year. Come and stay with us for Easter, spring break, summer vacation, or on a crisp fall weekend when the leaves are changing. This is a beautiful home, and we can’t wait to have you as our guest!

This house was absolutely perfect for the six of us for our lake vacation. The hosts thought of everything, right down to labeling the kitchen cupboards so everything was easy to find. Host communication was fantastic, as well. We couldn’t have asked for a better vacation home, and we would 100% stay again!

Thank you so much Lisa, I'm happy to hear you all had a great stay!
We had a wonderful time at Calm Water Cove. The house had everything we needed. We were very thankful for being in the cove as the main channel of the ozarks was always quite rough. We enjoyed swimming off the dock, campfires and boat rides in our pontoon. One of the highlights was all the different fireworks we got to watch on the 4th of July from our pontoon!
Beautiful home with great hosts! The weather was cool and rainy, but this house was the perfect place to snuggle in and be together playing games, cooking and watching movies. Had the weather been better, the house offers many amenities to enjoy the water! These hosts have thought of everything, and we had a terrific stay.

We are happy to hear you and your family had a great time and you got to enjoy the water toys! We would be happy to have to you back again in the future!
A group of 10 (4 adults / 6 children) of us stayed here and we had a blast. The house was cozy and relaxing, the outdoor space was plentiful and quiet, and the kids had a blast with the kayaks. We would recommend this house and would definetly be coming back in the future.
Location was perfect and having our own boat slip made things so convenient. Host were very attentive and responded immediately to questions. Would highly recommend.

We had such a great time at the location! We chartered a boat for a day and it picked us up at the dock on the property! Everything was clean and very roomy. The neighbors were chill and we had an amazing time!

We are happy to hear you had a great time. Thank you for choosing to stay with us and we hope you return!
This was a trip with my kids and their kids. Everybody had such a wonderful time. Everything we needed was there. It was just the best! We will definitely book again.
We absolutely loved Calm Water Cove! There was plenty of room for 6 adults and we spent most of the our days on the dock using the water toys and our evenings by the fire pit. The welcome gift was awesome as well! This was our first trip to the Ozarks and it was just what we needed!
Our group of 8 had a great stay here. The dock is large and the area is perfect for floating and paddling without a lot of boat traffic. The house came with everything we needed to make all our meals, store leftovers, etc. The beds were comfortable, there were lots of towels and good toiletries provided, and we all enjoyed our time here!
We've rented here twice now for spring break we couldn't be happier with it. It's a quiet, peacefull little cove. The kids love using the kayaks on the lake and the parents love watching them and just relaxing with a cup of coffee or glass of wine. We'll definitely be coming back. The kids are already asking when!

Thank you for choosing us again Traci and we are so happy to hear you had a great time. We look forward to having you back!
This was our second stay at Calmwater Cove and once again had an amazing time. The house had plenty of kitchen items and a large table for meals. We spent our days playing in the water and evenings relaxing around the fire. The cove doesn't have much boat traffic so it was great for the kids to play right off the dock.

I hope we can host you again next year.

We had so much fun at this home on Lake of the Ozarks! Our family loved the calm cove and the large dock for swimming. The lilly pad and kayaks added adventure and we rented a pontoon one day to explore the rest of the lake. This house is lovely and had everything we needed to make meals and grill. There were many great places to sit outside and enjoy the lake and the views. The owners provided many extras and everything we needed. One of the best VRBO’s we have stayed in!
We had a wonderful weekend at Calm Water Cove. It was a perfect setup for our 3 families. The house exceeded our expectations and is very well managed / cared for. The extra touches (s’mores supplies especially) were lovely! Thank you for having us, we would love to return next year.

We loved Calm Water Cove! This was our first time to Lake of the Ozarks. There were activities for everyone—we rented a boat for tubing & cliff jumping. Some shopping & restaurants on the Bagnell Dam strip The Lake is peaceful to float around the cove or hang out on the dock. I found this beautiful property to be just as advertised.
Everything was wonderful. Such a fun time using the kayaks and paddle boards. Close to alot of things on the lake if you have a boat. Fun fun!!
