About this property

A Recreational Mecca! Views·Dock·Boat & Jet Ski Slips·Kayaks·Fire Pit·Pool Table

Our lakefront home is an escape from reality. A place to come and forget your troubles, spend true quality time with friends and family, soak up some sun, float your boat and just have some good ol’ fashion fun! Outside of Climax Springs, MO, we are located at the 52-mile marker on Coffman Bend with breathtaking views of the lake and it's surroundings!

The moment you step through the front door you are welcomed into our cabin-like setting with rustic charm abound. The open floor plan offers plenty of room for everyone, yet provides a comfortable and cozy feel. With so many areas to enjoy, there’s room for everyone to find their favorite spot to relax, curl up with a good book, catch a movie, play games, feel the rays of the sun or the evening breeze while gazing up at the open sky.

The entryway/living room boasts the warmth of a sky-lit ceiling and a straight-on view of the main channel. There’s plenty of seating surrounding a fireplace (with electric insert) for chilly evenings along with a mounted flat screen tv equipped with a Firestick and high-speed fiber for streaming.

The open kitchen provides everything you need to prepare a delicious home-cooked meal, including a cooktop, dishwasher, refrigerator-freezer, oven, and microwave, along with plenty of cookware and serving ware. If you prefer outdoor grilling, you’ll find a gas grill on the deck for your convenience. The dining area has seating for six and space for overflow can be found outside on the deck or at the kitchen bar with two barstools provided.

Wake up in the morning and enjoy a cup of coffee or a spot of tea with a fully equipped complimentary coffee bar! Take your morning joe and sip it on the back sunroom or step out onto the deck and gazebo areas to enjoy the early sun and peacefulness of the lake.

The primary bedroom suite is complete with a comfy king-size bed, ceiling fan, tv and large walk-in closet. The primary bath has a double walk-in shower and a roomy sink area for sharing. Two additional bedrooms are on the main level with restful queen beds, equipped with ceiling fans, televisions (w/Firesticks, plenty of closet space and dresser drawers. They share the full guest bath w/walk-in shower, down the hallway.

Descending the open stairway, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find a space full of fun waiting for you! A beautiful stone/granite bar becomes the focal point with seating for 7 and equipped with a side-by-side refrigerator, wine cooler, sink and dishwasher…everything you need for evening entertaining! Challenge your friends to a game of pool, foosball or sit down at the reversible poker/game table and choose your fun from a closet stocked with cards, games and puzzles.

If movie-watching is what you prefer, sit down and kick back in the reclining sofas and stream your favorites on the 65” tv.

Guest bedroom number four is tucked back in the corner providing plenty of soothing sleep with one queen-size and one full-size bed. The room includes a ceiling fan, tv w/Firestick, dresser and small closet. Across from the bedroom, guests will find a full bath with a beautiful, tiled walk-in shower. In between, a laundry room is provided for your convenience.

The back yard is yet another entertainment space all it's own! We offer a large patio with seating area and chiminea, a relaxing water fountain, a picnic table, porch swing, five stackable lounge chairs, a firepit area with 6 chairs, outdoor ping pong and plenty of space for yard games.

Just a few steps down the ramp, you’ll find what may be THE best part of your stay! A playground for boaters, fishermen, swimmers, kayakers, and sunbathers alike! This newly purchased 2100+ square foot cement dock boasts 2 boat slips w/lifts, 2 jet ski slips, a jump platform (no diving please), large sundeck with zero-entry steps to the water, plenty of comfy seating, two high top tables and 8 high top chairs, a high velocity fan and Bluetooth speakers! There’s one open boat slip w/lift that will hold up to a 20' V bottom boat (NO PONTOONS OR TRITOONS), as well as a slip for two jet skis. In addition, we offer two kayaks and two paddleboards. Bring your favorite floatie and get ready to enjoy a day on the lake! (8 adult life jackets are available if needed)

There’s not much we don’t have for enjoyment right here on the property, but if you want to get out and about, it’s safe to take a walk down the roads to nearby neighborhoods. There’s plentiful wildlife residing in the Ozarks. Chances are you’ll see deer, bald eagles, and the occasional armadillo nosing around, along with many other forest and lake-loving creatures. There’s a whole lotta fun waiting out on the lake with plenty of nearby bars/restaurants that offer free music, karaoke and delicious food and drink. Come back after a day on the water and gather ‘round a fire and take time to gaze up at the open sky, it’s an amazing site!

If you want to take a day trip, you are approximately 45 minutes from the Osage Beach and Camdenton areas where there's a vast variety of restaurants, shopping, gift shops, wineries, outdoor concerts, golfing and sightseeing.

Located on ‘the quiet side’, we hope that you’ll agree that the laid back, peaceful, easy feelin’ you get while staying here will bring you back year after year!

Come enjoy the views and stay awhile at The James Gang Lake Hideaway!

Family already wants to re-book for next year
Well maintained and updated property. Plenty of amenities to keep us entertained. The lake has been our family vacation for years and this was the first time that the kitchen had good equipment to prepare meals. We brought many items, knives, pots, pans etc and they had everything you would need. The dock are was great. We spent most of our days there with plenty of activities. Easy in/out access to water and in a quiet cove so we could enjoy the water. They had a fridge in dock are which was great, we stocked it everyday so we did not have to go back up to house to get our drinks and snacks. The basement was full of full thing sto do. Pool table, which I was champ. Fooseball and a game table which we used every night. It was a little tight when we sat down to eat for 8 but we made it work. We even found the little gas/grocery store near by to have what we needed. Their hot prepared foods we fantastic. We are looking forward to booking again next year!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent Experience!
Loved that we picked this place for our family lake trip! We have a larger family and this home had plenty of space for everyone! Great location on the main channel but wasn’t too choppy even on a busier weekend. The owners have really thought of everything to make your experience enjoyable and convenient! Would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Don and Joy James

Host profile image
We're both small town kids from southeastern Nebraska who found our way out of the corn fields and into the beautiful state of Missouri 30+ years ago. We raised our family in Lee's Summit, where we fell in love with all the nearby lakes, which led to a boat, a timeshare at Table Rock Lake, then a bigger boat, a vacant lot in the Ozark woods, a lake house, and then yet another boat....you get the idea! Lake life IS our life!!

Why they chose this property

With lake living, there's lots of fun to be had and work to be done! Can't think of a better place to do both! We embraced the lake life 20+ years ago, sharing many wonderful memories here with our children, extended family and friends. The memory-making continues and we want to share that opportunity with you, our guests, to enjoy what we already know, love and appreciate here at the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks!

What makes this property unique

Just as our title states, 'A Recreational Mecca', we feel this sums up what we have! There are so many different areas of enjoyment; from the sun porch, to the gazebo, to the open patio below, the downstairs entertainment extravaganza, and of course, the dock is in a league all it's own!
