About this property
Lake Home, near HaHa Tonka State Park, Free Kayaking & Outdoor Pavilion Gameroom
The Norton House sits right on the Lake with a breathtaking view of the Big Niangua arm and features wood floors and a newly renovated kitchen with granite countertops, flat screen televisions and free wi-fi. There are 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths plus two additional queen roll-out sofas. All 3 bedrooms have queen beds.
Enjoy the lakeside picnic grounds and kayaking, relax on the patio and watch the boating activity, grill your supper or eat out, then let the sound of nature lull you to sleep at night.
The kitchen is well equipped with fridge, range, microwave, dishwasher and side bar for your favorite beverages. Enjoy dinners inside in the dining area or outside on the patio so you don't miss the beautiful weather and wildlife! Or, there are several restaurants nearby from casual to fine dining. There is also a big green egg and and offset smoker grill if you like to BBQ. There is a nice, private firepit just outside the front door for your enjoyment.
The Norton House is located west of Camdenton right where the Big Niangua tributary changes from a river to the Lake of the Ozarks. You'll be 'lured' to the Lake where the fishing is amazing for catfish, bass, crappie and walleye. Or play golf at either of two courses, Lake Valley Country club or Old Kinderhook (a Tom Weiskoph signature course).
One of the best features of this property and its sister rental, The Chardonel House, is the easy access to the Lake of the Ozarks. The lakeside picnic grounds is a short walk down the hill from the house or you can drive down the concrete driveway to the park.
About a hundred yards up the driveway from the house is an open-aired pavilion clubhouse with games to enjoy or just sit and take in the lake view.
You have free access to 4 kayaks, singles or doubles, for the length of your stay (a $100.00 value) and can pack a nice picnic lunch and your favorite beverages to enjoy while leisurely paddling the Niangua! Please note that in early spring the Lake water level is drawn down about 5 feet to make ready for the spring rains but you can still launch the kayaks from our dock in the shallower water.
No matter what your perception of a perfect vacation is, you won't be disappointed with the relaxation and serene feeling you will have when you leave this refreshing property!

We enjoyed our stay at the lake cabin and would definitely stay again. Beautiful view of the lake and easy access to the property. We enjoyed the fire pit and outdoor areas. Everything we needed and more! I wish there was better lighting especially in the front bedroom but otherwise no complaints.
Loved this place wanted to stay there way longer than we did. Will come back for sure!. Kayaking for free! Thank you Barb and Ward can't wait for the next time
The property and the house were beautifully maintained. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The weather didn’t allow us to go on the kayaks but we still got to enjoy the dock and catch plenty of fish. As an out of towner make sure you bring bug spray that repels ticks, especially if you plan on going to Ha Ha Tonka. Overall it was a great stay and place! Would stay here again!
The house was great and had everything we needed. We knew the water was low, because of spring, but managed to catch some giant catfish anyway! We would love to return when the water is at the regular level.
Fabulous vacation with amazing lake views! We loved the balcony, fire pit and easy access to kayaks! Also within close proximity to Ha Ha Tonka, local restaurants and shopping. Hosts go above and beyond with personal touches including a well stocked kitchen and fun clubhouse! Quiet and clean!

Highly recommend this locations. We were traveling with our three preteen and teens. It had plenty of room for all of us. We ended up choosing this location over others because the owners were so responsive and informative about the area. It was nice to have someone local tell us what to expect. We loved that we had access to the kayaks and paddle boards. It was a lot of fun! Definitely plan to return. They have another house on the property so i think it would be cool to have a family or friends vacation here. Thank you for letting us use your home!
It was very clean and had plenty room. They had kayaks, life jackets, paddles, and place for fishing. Clubhouse for games and it came in handy for rainy days. I would recommend it and stay again!
The place was very good, lots of room and great location. 20 mins from everything and had a great time sitting by the fire pit and cook some steaks. Will recommend amd go back again..
Great property. Kitchen was good to prepare meals for our group of 7. We really enjoyed the "quieter" end of the lake. The kayaks and paddleboards were so fun for all of us. The dock was adequate for our 2 day boat rental. We loved the firepit and chairs by the lake too!
Met up with our adult kids for the weekend at the Norton House. Perfect place for things to do inside or out--March in Missouri! We had the best time hiking and using the clubhouse. What a wonderful little place!
First glance you see a cute, well maintained cabin. It just gets better. Plenty of room, great views and comfortable beds. Fire pits, picnic tables canoes/kayaks available. The Norton House offers some seclusion as well . We loved it and plan to return.

About the host
Hosted by Barb Morris
Owners are Ward & Barb Morris who moved to the Lake in 1985 and raised our 3 children in one of the most beautiful locales in the U.S.! Barb owned and operated several Lake area restaurants over the past 30 years and enjoys the fine art of cooking and especially, pairing food with wine! Ward retired from his Computer Consulting company and enjoys tending to the grapevines and taking care of the property.
Why they chose this property
It is close to town but still a great, country setting with 8 acres and lots of wildlife from deer to White Pelicans, Blue Herons and more! Ha Ha Tonka State park is just a few miles away and with a dozen hiking trails a great excursion anytime we want!
What makes this property unique
We fell in love with the quiet of the Lake and especially the Niangua Arm tributary with it's amazing wildlife. During the months of February, March, October & November you can often spot as many as 700 great white Pelicans feeding on Lake fish for as long as 2 weeks as they migrate. Other birdlife includes the great bald eagle, blue herons, egrets, seagulls, hawks, owls and host of other. In March, you can spot beautiful red foxes siring their new pups and of course, several deer like to walk through the vineyard and eat Ward's grapevines (to his chagrin)! It's a great family setting for reunions or to get away from the city.
