Awesome stay!! It's definitely a cabin on a lake, a little dirty on the floors but I prefer that since we were in and out with dirty feet. Plenty of towels, very responsive and kind hosts. We will most certainly be coming back next year!

Relaxing and comfy

Our stay was exactly what we needed. The first day it rained and we enjoyed Cornhole in the garage that had plenty of space to play, a fridge, and a table. The next days we enjoyed the on site beach, kayak, canoe, and paddle boat. The place was complete with everything listed and was perfect for a family get away. The host truly made the stay, he was kind, checked on us, but also gave us our space. I would certainly return.

Nice owners, fair accomadation, not good for elderly or disabled. Too many stairs. Better for a mens group. Owners tried to meet every need. Elevator available but in an adjacent building.

Had a Great Time!

I wanted a vacation that felt like a vacation without all the running around and we certainly found the place to do just that. The kids loved the cabin and choosing where to sleep, so many options. Being on the lake and having a washer and dryer available was so nice to have. The cabin was clean and Richard was so nice to check in to see if we needed anything. This is close enough to our house that the kids wanted to to come back for a long weekend which I am totally on board with. The swimming area was great for our kids, (2) 8 year olds and a 2 1/2 year old. We also had access to use a canoe, kayak and paddle boat which they also provided life jackets for. We used all of them and it was a lot of fun, especially for the kiddos. Plenty of towels for everyone and all we really needed to bring was food. Kitchen was stocked with the dishes, pans and utensils that we needed. There are 2 fire pits, one close to the cabin and one on the lake, we used the one by the lake the most as it had a really nice view. Thank you for a relaxing and enjoyable stay! Looking forward to coming back.

As someone who holds a lot of value in reviews, I feel inclined to leave honest feedback regarding our stay. This property was very disappointing and I would consider most amenities of the listing inaccurate. The owner was very friendly, the check-in process was easy and it lakefront. However, the "cabin" is the top portion of a garage that was converted into lodging. The inside was unclean, floors were dirty, shower was nasty, fridge was full of food/condiments--some of which were expired and the dishes needed to all be cleaned before using. The beds were all nicely made, but the mattresses were old and very uncomfortable. It was advertised as being great for big groups, however, the layout of the living room area was small with only 4 chairs and a small loveseat which made it difficult for our group of 8 adults and 5 kids to all sit together in the same area. The furniture had many stains and/or most of the chairs were broken in some way. The kitchen was very small with only 1 table that seats 6--not conducive to a large group. The basement area was rather creepy and an unrealistic place for the kids to hang out. The outside gathering area had random old appliances, broken chairs and items sitting around--this area is also in between the "cabin" and the owners residence so there is no privacy. The "swim beach" was all muddy with wires and logs sticking out. The water slide is an old rusty hazard-unfit for use especially by children. The list goes on-would NOT recommend.
The "cabin" above the garage with all the old/broken items stashed underneath the stairs.
The outdoor area between the two properties- no privacy for the group.
The lakefront view.
The "swim beach". There is no sand, it's all mud. Large logs sticking out of water. Water was filthy and unfit for swimming.

This is a lake cabin! Lots of beds and plenty of outdoor activities. Don’t forget bug spray (our fault-it is right on the water!) and sunscreen. It isn’t the Ritz Carlton but it made for an enjoyable weekend with friends.

Family oriented

From 18 month old to 62 year old this was an ideal place to accommodate all. Small confined beach pool for 18 month to 7 year old, Canoe, Kayak, paddle boat, and super float mat for the 35-45 year old ones, and glider rocker for the 60 year old to just watch and enjoy. There is a kennel out side for larger pets, playground swings etc for little ones. Super friendly hosts.

About the host

Host profile image
Judy and I are both retired and enjoying life at the lake. It is busy in the summer with boating and entertaining. The fall and spring are always a welcome season with the cool temps and changing of the seasons. Winter is wonderful with all the water fowl and eagles. The pelican come by in the spring and fall and are always a joy to watch. We have rescued two white pelican and delivered them to the rescue center in Kansas City. The know us as the wildlife rescuers of Big Lake in Kansas City rescue center.We enjoy meeting new people and insuring they have a pleasant stay with us. In our spare time we enjoy playing cards and traveling the different states. I have been to all 50 states and Judy is working to that goal also.

Why they chose this property

Big Lake is an overlooked gem of NW Missouri. It is in both the Missouri and Mississippi river migration fly zones. The bald Eagle are plentiful. We have sighted 53 bald Eagle on the ice at one time. We are away from the hassle and bustle of the big city, but we are midway between Omaha and Kansas City both just and hour and a half away.

What makes this property unique

Almost one acre of land to use for recreation and gathering. Several gas grills available for use. A 20X20 sunshade tent and several tables and chair for reunions and meetings. Five camper hook up available for more housing. We have hosted up to 44 at one reunion.
