We used the house for a family gathering and it was perfect! Everything we could possibly need was there. The host was super easy to work with and even checked on us after a bad storm rolled through. The kids loved being able to use the kayaks and paddle boards. We would definitely stay again.

Awesome stay!

This property was perfect for our vacation. Located in a wonderful little cove, with plenty of room. The two living areas are large enough for everyone to be together or perfect to split up between the kids and adults. Be sure to take advantage of the kayaks, canoe and paddle board!!! On top of everything the house has to offer, the owner is extremely friendly and helpful!!! We had a wonderful stay!

Another wonderful week at Vista Cove!

We enjoyed our stay for the second straight year at this spacious lake home. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is well-stocked with pans, plates, glasses, silverware, utensils, and the kids love the game area. We love the quiet cove and the fun little town of Camdenton, but also went over to the busier area to play mini golf. We are already planning our next trip!

This place was perfect! There was the right amount of space for our family group. The house was stocked with everything needed for the kitchen, a few laundry pods, salt and pepper, and dishwasher pods. Carl was very easy to communicate with. The beds were comfortable. The only suggestions I would have are a few more dish towels and one or two blankets for the couch (we just like them when we watch TV).

Enjoyable vacation

Our family enjoyed the home and the cove of the lake. The kids especially enjoyed enjoyed the rented canoe, kayaks , and paddleboard. The small cove of the lake was calm and peaceful. The two levels of the home let our group have time away from each other when needed! The lower level game area was really popular! Appreciated the “little” amenities around the house to make the stay feel more like home.

Family vacay

We stay with a total of 15 or 16 people, mostly kids 6-17, for 9 days. The dock was awesome for fishing, and hanging out. The open floor plan of the house made it comfortable for everyone. Carl was very responsive to all messages.. having the life vests and water toys available was also great, they all got used all day. The house is located on a narrow road, I recommend launching your boat and leaving the trailers at Larry gale launch ramp,.

Response from VrboOwner on 22 Aug 2022
It’s great to have a large group stay at the house. I’m sure the two levels of family rooms was a CV plus for the kids and adults alike. You are right the only place to launch your boat is at Larry Gale launch ramp two coves over but there is a turn around at the end of our road and ample parking for two trailers across our road in our own lot.
