About this house rental
Welcome to Emerald Retreat!
This is an amazing 3 story, family-oriented property with lots of room for everyone and is within the highly desirable Buck Creek Cove at Mile Marker 8. The home boasts 5 spacious bedrooms, 3 baths, 2 separate living space, a fireplace, flat screen TVs, game room/bar area with pool table, an entertaining kitchen with a great breakfast bar, lakefront sunroom, shaded patio, dock with one open slip with lift and patio furniture.
From the garage parking, you'll enter the home on the second level. This level has two bedrooms and one shared shower/bath off the hallway. The largest bedroom is spacious with two full size beds and tv that overlooks the lake. The second bedroom is nicely furnished with a queen-sized bed.
Upstairs is an enormous family game room with its treetop view of the lake. Everyone will enjoy the pool table, shuffle board, dart board, game table or just watching tv with plenty of comfortable seating for all. And don't worry about going downstairs for drinks, this 3rd floor level of the home also has a great wet bar - perfect for entertaining - with a mini fridge, sink, and microwave! There are two spacious bedrooms off the hallway; one with two full size beds with single bed pull out and another with a queen-sized bed and tv. Both rooms share a full-sized bath with a shower/tub. The game room also has a pull out bed in the couch.
Downstairs, on the first floor, is the living level of the home. Every cook will enjoy the beautiful kitchen with granite counters, breakfast bar, stainless appliances, dishwasher, and trash compactor. Both the kitchen and dining room have combined seating for 12 people. From both rooms you can enjoy the rock-faced fireplace and a flat screen TV. Just off the kitchen is a great lake-view bedroom with a king-sized bed, tv and hall bath with walk in shower. And access to the laundry room with extra storage for coolers.
When you're not on the water, you'll enjoy visiting and relaxing with family in the stunning lakefront sun room with movie theater style seating, accent chairs and large flat screen smart TV. The perfect spot for morning coffee, reading and just reconnecting with friends.
This 4,000 square foot property is perfectly situated on a great lot with easy outside access to everything. Beyond the French doors of the sunroom is a good-sized patio with multiple seating areas with a gas and charcoal grill. A few steps down from the patio is a sloping sidewalk to a firepit with wood and huge private dock in a very calm cove of the lake. The dock and one slip is available for your use to bring your boat and one pwc parking space with drive on dock. The slip is 9x20 with v-haul lift and there is room beside the dock if you have a larger boat. There is space available for parking your boat trailer. The water is deep and perfect for all your fishing, swimming, boating and floating activities. There is Lake Shores marina less then a mile before you arrive to the house to put in your boat.
This property is just 20-25 minutes away from all the action on the busy side of the lake - Bagnell Dam, Lake Ozark and Osage Beach - vi the community toll bridge. Also, the home is just minutes away from the towns of Sunrise Beach and Laurie for grocery shopping and from a public golf course. By water, we are less than a 10 minute boat ride from four of the hottest lakeside restaurant destinations - Frankie and Louie's, Coconuts, Jolly Rogers and the H. Toad Complex.
The home is furnished for normal housekeeping with dishes, cookware, flatware, glasses, coffee makers, basic appliances and grills outside. We are also pleased to provide bed linens, bath towels, and a starter packet of detergents, trash bags and paper products (toilet paper and paper towels). Please bring your own beach towels, personal toiletries, coolers, camera, life jackets, etc.
The property does have cameras facing the garage and entry way outside as well as the dock area for security purposes. There is also a security system inside the home available for use should you desire.
If you are looking for a property for a wild bachelor/bachelorette party, college party, this is not the property for you. This home is intended for family use only.

Great house with an excellent outdoor space including a dock with plenty of room to get some sun and places with shade to relax. The house is three levels with space and areas for all ages. Highly recommend and will book here again!

Our family of 6 had a wonderful weekend staying at this home. We especially loved the game room and our 4 teenagers appreciated being able to spread out and have their own rooms. Everything was clean, and it's a beautiful home! Loved the fun dock hang out area and all of the neighbors seem really friendly. Highly recommend!

This VRBO and the hosts - Melody and Cory - were absolutely AMAZING!!!! Truly one of the best VRBOs I've ever stayed in, and I've stayed in a lot, and I'm also picky.
We had three moms and six preteen and teen boys on this trip. The house setup was ideal. Could not have been more perfect.
Melody and Cory are the kindest, most awesome people. Melody greeted us when we arrived, letting us know she was there if we needed anything, and they responded to all of our text questions super fast. We all literally consider them friends now... that's how amazing they are.
The house is the most stocked VRBO I've ever rented. From the kitchen to the bedrooms and bathrooms to the INCREDIBLE dock, Melody and Cory have thought of absolutely everything guests could need or want.
The house was super clean and in a really great location, too.
If I could give the house and the owners 10 stars... I 100% would! Thanks, Melody and Cory!!!

The house was very nice and would definitely stay there again

First let me start by saying if I could have given more stars, I would have. We have been coming to the Lake annually for several years and this house is by far, the best house we have ever stayed in.
The house is perfectly designed to ensure that there is plenty of space for your entire family. Getting to the dock without having to use a ton of stairs was also nice change.
Corey and Melody were amazing to work with. We spent a couple of hours speaking with them and could have spent more. The other neighbors in the cove are all friendly and very laid back.
The only thing I would suggest is don’t over think your packing. Melody has gone out of her way to stock the house and has everything covered. Pack your clothes/amenities/food and beverages.
You will not regret your stay here.
Thank you again Corey and Melody. If we do not find our own we will be back next year!!

Our hosts were so kind. Their home was the perfect retreat for our family. Plenty of room, very clean, lots of amenities. The cove was calm and made for perfect swimming conditions for our kiddos. Fun to see so many deer, turtles and fishing was good. We swam and boated every day as we had seven days of perfect weather!

This is by far the best house we have stayed, and so far!! There was plenty of room for our family to not be on top of each other throughout the trip!
There were 9 adults and 3 kids 4-10. The home owner was more than attentive making sure our stay was incredible! I will be using this listing again!!!

Each year we visit the Lake of the Ozarks locating in a different rental home. We have done this since our kids, whom are now adults, were young and now we include the grandkids. The home was very spacious and had a great huge family entertainment room. The home was filled with wonderful amenities, none like we have ever stayed in before. The cove was a wonderful area for us all to hang out in the water for hours. The dock was great to simply sit and visit and the little ones enjoyed fishing right off it. Melanie and Cory were the Best of the Best Hosts.
We are so happy that we were able to meet and visit with them during our stay. All of our kids and we too agree, that this was the most enjoyable vacation home we have ever stayed. No doubt - 5 stars!!! Thank you:) M & R from Iowa

We had a great time at Emerald Retreat. The house was fully stocked and clean. It had everything we needed and more! We really enjoyed the lake during the day and the game room every evening. Melody and Cory were amazing hosts! We had a group of 12 and had plenty of room. Definitely would recommend this property and hope to stay again!

Our children and their own families traveled to the Lake of the Ozarks for a family vacation! Our girls picked the place out and did they pick a good one! We had everything and then some of what we needed at this rental-plenty of rooms, gathering places inside and outside (tv room, game room, dock space, 2 patio areas, even garage space if we had needed it for a rainy day). The lake area was quiet and inviting! Thank you, Melody and hubby, for all you did and allowing us to make some special memories with our kids and grandkids!

2 families of 4 comfortably fit. The game room was a great hangout place, as well as the dock. The home is in a quiet cove with minimal wake and we were able to keep 2 boats in the slips. Great house!

We spent 4 days there. The whole house was amazing. The game room upstairs was an excellent place to hang out when it got dark and a bit chilly. The owner stopped by and was extremely friendly. There were plenty of floats and water equipment to float in the lake. Overall, a perfect weekend away.

We loved this property. Melody and Cory were great! We had 11 people and this house fit us all. This house is fully stocked and was clean! It had everything you would need in the kitchen. All three floors were spacious and the game room is wonderful...we spent a lot of time there in the evenings. The dock is big and had plenty of room for everyone. Definitely would recommend this property!

Melody and Corey were amazing hosts. The dock area was in great condition and very private. It is the perfect place to gather and float with almost zero boat traffic. We recommend staying here and plan to return.

Melody and Cory, were great, ready to support if needed. Neighbors were friendly. Getting to the house was easy and unloading into a nice big two stall garage was awesome. We had ten people all adults and there was plenty of rooms for all. Game room was as expected, super cool, although the dock had my attention all week!!! There are three floors ALL had great AC. Third floors can be a problem I've read, not here. Great access to the dock, easy walk, very few steps. The pictures were accurate. We loved it, we'll be back if they will have us. Hope so!!!!

The house and the host were perfect. We had a large group of 12 adults and we were about to comfortably hang out in the huge game room, the main level, the dock and float work no issues anywhere. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Fantastic Stay!
My college friends and I have been enjoying a Lake of the Ozarks weekend on an annual basis for about 15 years. We play a few rounds of golf, play Risk, drink beer(s) and eat too. We have been staying at Emerald Retreat the last 4 years and it is by far the best property we have stayed at. It has 5 bedrooms, a very nice patio overlooking the lake, a large garage, AND a great game room with a pool table. Melody does a great job of coordinating the visit and makes the house spotless for our arrival. We also do our cooking there on the grill (steaks) and in the oven (lasagna). Melody and her husband are great hosts and their neighbors are very laid back too. All 6 of us guys are in our 60s and we plan on coming to Emerald Retreat from now on for our lake weekend. Thanks Melody!

Even Better Than Advertised!
We had two families with lots of kids, and this space worked perfectly for us. At the end of a quiet cove with a great dock, a great layout with plenty of space, and a location that was close to a grocery store, this house worked wonderfully for us! The house was very clean, well maintained, and very well stocked for our big group. Melody was excellent and we will stay here again!!

Fun for the whole family!
We can’t say enough about our stay. The house is great and so are the neighbors. Thankful for the great weather we had but if I the weather isn’t great there is more than enough amenities to keep adults and children occupied. We loved everything and can’t wait to come back!
Thank you to the amazing hosts for everything and for a wonderful stay.

My last flamingle
This property was amazing! We had a fabulous time in this wonderful home. Had plenty of room and beds for everyone. The game room offered almost an entire extra living room even though most of our time was spent swimming g off the docks! The outside space was by far the best and made perfect for entertaining!
The owners by far are what made out stay so enjoyable. Extremely easy to work with and very helpful with any of our needs. The neighbors also made for a great time! We enjoyed every minute!

Great property and family friendly!
We had a great stay at the property! We were greeted with a very nice welcome package of cookies and treats and the kids all loved that. Our group of 6 adults and 5 kids spent every day on the water. The quiet cove was perfect for swimming and the spacious dock allowed us to stay down there with plenty of room all day! I recommend this property for anyone that needs some space to spread out (3 floors!) and is looking for a great time!

Amazing house
We have stayed in several houses along the lake and this one topped them all. The hose is equipped for everything from an outstanding playroom to a beautiful dock and to the last kitchen supply. not cheap but with it. The owner was great, very responsive, and kind.

Family/Friends Getaway
All 12 of us loved our stay at Emerald Retreat! We were greeted with friendly hosts that live nearby and were easily accessible and helpful when needed, but gave us space and privacy to enjoy our stay.
The teenagers in our party loved the game room and floating mats for the lake. The men in our party enjoyed the dock, fishing, grill and enough recliners for all. The women in our party loved the lounge chairs on the dock, the space for everyone to spread out, a well stocked kitchen, laundry room and bathrooms.
Property listing could use some updates but Melody (Host) was really helpful answering all of our questions before we arrived. The next door neighbor Bill and his wife are super friendly and willing to share story about the area, reccomendations for area attractions and a little dock side music.
The road leading to the property is a little rough, but it is well worth the bumps and sharp turns.

A great place to enjoy the lake
This was a wonderful house that was perfect for our group of 11 enjoying the lake. We enjoyed the fun game room, great space and numerous rooms throughout to hang out and relax. The boat dock was amazing with a table and chairs for 6, and numerous recliner chairs to relax on. We enjoyed seeing all of the wildlife - a deer, raccoon, ducks and geese. Our fishermen in the group had some luck as well. We would definitely come back to this home for future getaways!

Family Memories Made
The property manager, Sherry, was wonderful in helping in renting for our family. The owners were on property when we arrived and were very helpful in familiarizing us with the property. The home and amenities were perfect for our family. The kids loved the boat dock for swimming, the game room for pool tournaments, and card games. We highly recommend the property for families that prefer space off the main channel of the lake. Many memories made during our stay!

Family Weekend
We really enjoyed our 4 days and 5 nights at the lake. The House was fantastic with a lot of space to spread out for 7 adults but also plenty of spaces to enjoy family time. House is extremely close to other neighbors, one is which was fantastic! The owner lives at the top of the property and will periodically check in or sit at neighbors house. Overall good experience.
