Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Elk Lodge!!! The home was spacious, clean, and comfortable... just as advertised! We took advantage of the dock, having rented a boat, and even hung out there -- swimming and fishing -- when not on the boat. We also played games around the large kitchen table that was able to seat all seven of us comfortably. We will definitely keep Elk Lodge on our list of homes to rent again!

Our family (3 siblings, 3 spouses and 6 kids) take one trip together each summer. We go to a different location each year, and this was the first time any of us had been to Lake of the Ozarks. We had a wonderful week in large part because of this home and the great communication from Pamela. All the information sent ahead of time was clear and remarkably thorough. The house was exactly as stated, and the layout worked great for our families. The furnishings were nice, and clean. The location of the house on the lake was great for swimming. The cove is very quiet and well protected from regular boaters going down the channel. It’s not far from Laurie which had some good grocery store options and restaurants (highly recommended Phat Pizza). I would recommend this rental to anyone looking for a stay in the Ozarks.

Great place great time

We had a great time on our family vacation at Elk Lodge. The location was perfect on a quiet cove and close to the main channel. The whole family, aged 2-66 years old had a blast swimming, fishing, and boating! We would definitely consider the Elk Lodge property for future stays at Lake of the Ozarks!!

Elk lodge is wonderful. The cove is quiet and perfect for swimming. We had a rental boat and the dock was perfect for rookie boaters . The lodge is equipped with all the things you need ! Everything was clean and spotless ! Pamela was on top of our questions and answered immediately when we had an issue with hot water ! They made a temporary fix and we had hot water for the rest of our stay! Not having a tv on the main level was wonderful it created a great space for us to just talk to each other !!! Fun relaxing time ! We will be back!

We frequently rent houses for sports tournaments and vacations and I have to say the house was great, but the management company was not so much. The home itself was very nice. The kids loved the big bunk room and our bed in the master was very comfortable. The downstairs bedrooms are a little small if you need to squeeze in a pack and play, but fine just for adults. The dock provided hours of fun for fishing and swimming, but be very aware of tics. They need bigger frying pans and more large garbage bags, but that's more of an FYI. Close to a great grocery store, good restaurants and good doughnuts. Bridal Cave and Ha Ha Tonka were a favorite day trip. The worst part of this vacation was dealing with the management company. We were in a unique situation where the owners were switching management companys after we already booked so we had to have more contact with them than usual. Also, we were going for the 4th of July so we had a couple extra questions. They messed up charges, took multiple days to answer questions and it generally took multiple attempts to even get them to respond. It made dealing with this house very frustrating. They advertised having an Xbox, but part of the chord that goes into the wall was missing. Management said they would bring it over that day and they never did and had no follow up even after another request. My brother in law accidentally left a couple of fishing poles and it has been very hard to get communication between the two of them to get returned. Beware if you accidentally leave anything. If I were heading back to the Lake of the Ozarks I would probably pick a different house just so I wouldn't have to deal with them again.

Beautiful cove and neighborhood had the place to ourselves throughout the week weekend is busy with people but all quite at 11 pm Pamela was on top of everything we needed we had a great family vacation not having TVs everywhere was a real plus we actually talked to each other !! We had family game nights! Lake time boat rental was great !

This house by far was the nicest house we have stayed in while at the Ozarks. The dock was great for parking our boat. The cove that the house is located at is located near Lake Burger and our favorite brunch spot Jolly Rogers. Definitely, will be staying here again in the near future if available.

This was our first time using a VRBO property during vacation and had an amazing experience. We will definitely be back. Everything was ready for us when we got to the property. Check in couldn’t have been smoother. The home, yard, dock, etc. were very clean and extra amenities were stocked throughout. We visited during a week that wasn’t a busy period and found out many businesses were closed. The host found area businesses that were open and sent us contact information, saving us lots of time during our stay. Pamela was a great host, easy to work with, quick with email responses, and eager to help if we needed anything.

This was a great property on the “quiet” side of the lake.
