About this property

'Hook House' Lakefront home in quiet cove with beautiful view.

‘Hook House’… a great get-away for the family, couples weekend, fishing trip or just a place to relax and get away from it all. ‘Hook House’ is a cozy, lakefront 1 level ranch house with 3 bedrooms in a quiet, friendly cove. Enjoy the large deck and screened in porch. This lakefront home has a beautiful lake view, a boat ramp, and an 8 slip shared boat dock with an open slip for your boat (no lift). The fishing is good and the concrete boat ramp, next to the house, offers a zero entry to the lake for getting on your raft or swimming. Use our fully equipped kitchen and charcoal grill (will need to bring charcoal) to feed your crew. Sleep 6-7 people with 1 queen, 1 double, 1 bunk bed (twin on top, double on bottom) each in their own bedrooms and a fold-out couch in the living room. Also enjoy board games or TV (accepts Amazon Fire Stick, if you have one). Washer and dryer are available in the ‘wash house’. This home, located on Maritime Lane in Roach, Mo., has provided years of lake fun for generations! Owner will be at the house to greet you upon your arrival.

Wonderful, quiet location

Our family loved our time at Hook House. The zero entry swim area was perfect and our kids swam for hours, and it was great to have access to the kayaks. The location is very quiet, and we loved sitting out on the deck in the evenings enjoying the animal sounds. The house had everything we needed to keep us comfortable. Everything was clean and in good working order. The host was very gracious and welcoming.

River Randy and Crew has a most splendid time

My family and I really had a great time at the Hook House. We spent a lot of time staying cool in the water and catching fish. The access to the water was perfect for my fishing boat and jet skis. The Hook House was perfect for dinners too. The area is very spacious and the big windows and patio doors give great views of the lake. Thank you for having us and we look forward to our next stay. R

Absolutely amazing!

The property is beautiful! Right on the lake, perfect views, walk in water access in a quiet family oriented community. The property owner was perfect, made us feel like we were at home and like we had known each other for years! The home was spacious, fully furnished down to the littlest things. We couldn't have gotten any luckier with this property. Very affordable. We were within 30 minutes of every major attraction, restaurant and marina. We will definitely be coming back! Highly recommend

Wonderful Experience

We just finished up a wonderful four night stay here. I can't say enough about the quality of the property. The view to the lake from the house and the deck was wonderful. We ate at the table at the lakeside on two nights as the sun started to set. It was easy to use the kayaks and the cove is quiet and calm. We had tentatively planned things like cave visits and the water park, but never did that because we preferred staying at the property! This is a gem.

Great family cabin with kayaks!

We had a wonderful time at the Hook House. The house is located on a protected cove with a nice little nature area to explore- and fish- with the provided kayaks. Kept my boys (18, 15, 12) entertained for hours-- in addition to fishing from shore. They were able to catch bass, catfish, gar, and drum. We had bonfires at night and spent the hot afternoons on the swim pad. Lynn was very responsive to emails and offered some local suggestions. It was a great getaway for our family of 5-- so much that we didn't go an do any of the "touristy" things but rather spent all of our time at the cabin.

Great time!

We stayed here for 4 nights in June. The house is really well stocked with everything you could need! There are even life jackets, extra beach towels, a floating mat and kayaks. The house is older but well decorated. The kitchen and baths appear to have been recently redone. The owner, Lynn, was very communicative and the check in process was easy. The only thing we found about the house that we weren't crazy about is it is fairly close to one of the bigger channels of the lake so the water around the dock and swimming area can get pretty choppy during the busy times but my kids were still able to float, swim and kayak without any difficulty. We have it on our list to come back though!

So glad you enjoyed your stay at Hook House, Courtney. It does get 'rough', but, swimming on the other side of the walkway is much less choppy. Hope you all make it back in the future!

Beautiful and convenient location. Lynn had everything we needed to make our 4 days perfect. The Hook House was very clean and set up perfectly. The home was well stocked with kitchen and bathroom supplies. We used the firepit every night. Charcoal grill and kayaks were used. Lynn had charcoal and lighter fluid all ready for us. Fishing from the dock was so relaxing. Location was set back in a cove with easy access to the main lake area. Peaceful! There is a convenient mart a few miles away with live bait. A Walmart was only 20 minutes away. Beautiful and peaceful. It was truly a great getaway. Thank you Lynn!

Wonderful family getaway

Lynn was an awesome host! Everything was ready to go and if we needed anything or had any issues (which we didn't) she was readily available. Plenty of room for the six of us. Location was great, both on the water and proximity to Camdenton, Osage Beach and the dam. Kids absolutely LOVED the zero entry access to the water. The boat ramp was also perfect for getting waverunners in and out, made use of the empty slip all week, very convenient. Would not hesitate to make this a frequent stay for future lake visits. Thanks again Lynn!

A Hidden Gem

This place was just exactly perfect for us. The host couldn’t have been any nicer, or more accommodating. The place was quiet, and had absolutely everything we needed for a great time at the lake with our three kids. The house was exceptionally clean, and very kid-friendly. There is a large, fairly flat lawn that our little people just loved playing on, and a deck that easily accommodated our group, as well as several other guests. The view was beautiful, and our stay was perfect. We will definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Lynn Kilpatrick

Host profile image
Growing up, I spent many summers enjoying my aunt & uncle's 'Camp Niangua' at the Lake of the Ozarks (Lake Rd 5-88). Mark and I purchased the Hook House so we could have our own children enjoy time at the lake with us. We live in Iowa and spend as much time as we can at the lake. Our children are busy and we found we had times when we could offer the house to others. Mark is a 4th generation farmer, farming the original family farm established in 1864. I am a retired elementary principal.

Why they chose this property

This property is in a quiet cove located on the Little Niangua, 7 miles off the 31 mile mark of the Osage. Wilbur Hook purchased the property in the 1970's and since then, the property has been called the 'Hook House'. The original cabin was a duplex, once part of Tall Timbers Resort. The Hook's remodeled, making it a single family cabin. Mark and I instantly fell in love with the cabin, even though we saw it needed some 'attention', we have enjoyed cleaning it up and redecorating the interior together.
The view and the quiet cove are hard to beat. Add in G & G Marina 'just around the bend', proximity to Camdenton, Ha Ha Tonka State Park, Lake Valley Golf Course, Ballparks National, and Osage Beach offering many activities and restaurant choices... we think you will enjoy your Hook House stay!

What makes this property unique

Quiet cove. Private boat ramp to launch boat or your jet ski. Boat Rentals: Jeff Shore (contact # available). Boat slip (without a lift) available no extra charge. Great view of the lake, screened in porch and big deck.
