About this property

Come and play at Escape 2 the Lake!

A great get-away for the family, couples weekend, girls weekend, fishing trip, or just a place to relax and get away from it all. A cozy, remodeled lakefront 2-bedroom home in a friendly cove. Enjoy a bright sunroom, large deck, 2-well dock, and PWC lift. This lakefront home is literally just a dozen feet from the lake, with an expansive lake view, great fishing and swimming, and a variety of toys: paddle boat, standing paddleboard, and kayaks. Use our fully equipped kitchen and large gas grill to feed your crew. Sleep up to nine people with 1 king and 1 queen-size bed each in their own bedroom and a fold-out couch and bunk beds (twin on top, full on bottom) in the sunroom. Also, enjoy board games or flat-screen TV with streaming services and a DVD library. There is also a small TV with children's DVDs in the sunroom. A washer and dryer are also available during the summer months.
This home has provided lake fun for generations. You can start building your memories here today. We are located at Mile Marker 45. Gas and groceries are available by water at Mimosa Beach Marina, just across the channel. We are just ten minutes from Laurie, Missouri where gas and groceries are available by land. If you’re interested in shopping or tourist activities, we are 45 minutes from Osage Beach with go-carts, helicopter rides, outlet malls, and numerous restaurants. Being at Mile Marker 45 is great if you have a smaller boat, the boats and waves aren’t as big on this part of the lake as it is closer to the dam. We are also near a couple of great lakeside restaurants: Bear Bottoms with a waterslide and live music and Red Fox who has the best margaritas on the lake. We’ve been enjoying the lake from this location for years! Come be our guest!

(Just in case you missed the house rules we request No pets please and no smoking in the house).

This cozy little place was described exactly as it was. It was well furnished with everything we needed. It was very clean upon our arrival, and we'll stocked with essential items. The directions were spot on, and had ample parking with additional parking across the street. It was so quiet and relaxing... LOVED IT!!!

About the host

Hosted by Tracy

Host profile image
We have been coming to lake for years. We own the home next door and purchased this home when our neighbors moved out. We use this home for over-flow when the whole family comes down and rent it out when we are not using it. We've been coming to this part of the lake for over 15 years. Our kids grew up on the lake and the whole family still comes down regularly. One of our sons was even married lakeside! We love sharing the lake with friends, it's our favorite place to be.

Why they chose this property

This property is located in a cove, but with a view of the main channel. So you're out of the traffic but not hidden away with no view. The house is newly remodeled and quite comfortable. Our favorite place is the sun room or the deck. This location is an easy drive from KC and has only about 1/2 mile of gravel road to traverse. It's close to Laurie, so trips for groceries and gas are quick and easy.

What makes this property unique

There's a dock for your boat and a lift for you PWC. There is a boat ramp just two houses away (it's gravel, so best for 4-wheel drive vehicles) We offer a paddleboat, standing paddleboard, a canoe, and kayaks. We just want you to have as much fun as we do at the lake!!
