Highly recommended! Excellent people! Good, safe home away from home.
We fully enjoyed this beautiful & clean cottage! We were so comfortable! It had everything we needed! The privacy & country feel was perfect! Highly recommend this lovely place!
The property was perfectly located for the event we attended at the Ozark Speedway. The property was pristine and well appointed. The only issue we had was the internet was very inconsistent.

From the owner: "James, thank you for your review. We are in a rural area, even though we are surrounded by the Lake of the Ozarks. When we start getting the influx of 5 million tourists, or it is storming in the summer, our internet can get spotty at times. Sorry you experienced a problem."
Enjoyed our 2 night stay. Would 100% stay again. Clean, lots of unexpected extras like fresh fruit and all kitchen accessories you could
Possibly need. Plenty of bath linens and toiletries too.
We do not give 5-stars unless they are earned. This place is perfect for our needs when we are in the area. The property managers make all the difference! They make us feel at home and cared about, without being intrusive. All of our needs are taken care of and more. It is always clean, comfortable, and safe. We would suggest it to anyone whether they are spending time at the track, the lake, or just looking for a relaxing getaway.

From the owner:"Thank you so much for the kind review. You are our most frequent guests, and we appreciate both of you so much. See you in October!"
We were there for another event besides the lake. However, this location was perfect as relaxing central point. It was quiet and out of the busy area, but easily accessible.
Extremely comfortable and started feeling like home.
Owners were awesome.
We will be returning to this property whenever we are on the area.
We were impressed with the home. Tucked away on a quite little road, but many local eateries and pubs just minutes away. (We were very pleased with "Chances R")Well appointed, and quite comfy for our needs. It has a nice nautical feel to get you into the mood if your there for the water experience. Although our stay was short, I noticed the kitchen was stocked with about anything you might need for cooking. Our hosts were very communicative and welcomed us by text offering any assistance we might need.Not right on the water, but access is nearby.
Everything was as described in the listing: two bedrooms, one bath, very spacious living space and spotless! Everything we needed in the kitchen was there. Location was close enough to many things but not too close. The neighborhood was quiet. Easy check in and check out! The hosts are great, even making a safety call to notify us of a tornado warning and inviting us to use their basement, if desired. We highly recommend staying in this cottage! Perfect for two couples!
Quaint home and the stay was perfect. Very clean, easy check-in, everything you could need and communication was always very prompt. We told them we would have a late check-in and they turned lights on for us so we didn't have to walk into a dark home. Cinnamon rolls on the island for breakfast and instructions for warming up with butter (which was in the fridge) to make them even better. We will be staying again when we go back to the Ozarks.
