We've put off writing this review, because we hate to give a negative review, and we hope somehow that our experience was unrepresentative. We also really want to forget about our time here as quickly as possible, but in the end it seems only fair to warn other potential visitors. Please make sure you check with the owners about the level of the lake. On our visit, there was no water anywhere near the waterslide in the photos. Boats needed to be dragged out across perhaps 50 feet of solid mud to reach the start of the very shallow water, and we never managed to find a place for us to swim. So our children weren't able to actually play in the water at this "waterfront playground." Also please make sure that the owner knows what day you plan to arrive and that you prefer not to have anyone enter the premises during your stay without contacting you first. Although our dates were confirmed for a Sunday to Saturday stay, we arrived to find that nothing was ready for us. Instead of being able to check in at 2 on Sunday as scheduled, we discovered on arrival that we had not been expected, that cleaners were only just arriving, and the house would not be ready until 6. When I tried to explain to the owner that this represented a serious problem for us as we'd been being very careful to avoid exposure (to protect high-risk family members) he suggested we go out to dinner, opined that I was "making a mountain out of a molehill," complained that he was paying the cleaners $300 (apparently to fix his mistake about the dates), and loudly assured me that if I wanted to just go home that was my choice but that I wouldn't be refunded one penny. In short, the conversation went poorly enough that when we discovered various other problems with the house-- for example, the oven wasn't working and the water from the faucets had a strong smell that made us uncertain about using it for cooking or drinking-- we opted not to try contacting him again. We spent a few days hiking and swimming further north. Friday afternoon we arrived back from a wonderful hike (Bear Slides, in Warrensburg-- highly recommended) to find someone in the house. I was shocked. "But I have the key," I said. "We have one too," she said. She said they thought we'd gone. The owners had both our phone numbers, and of course also could have messaged us through VRBO. We gave up on our plans for a campfire that Friday night and just returned home early without spending the final night there.

This is the perfect small house on the lake. Property owners are very nice and responded quickly to any issue we had. House is very well stocked with everything you need for your vacation home. Great fishing at the lake and lots of fun using boat and canoe on the lake.

We had a great experience. The property is beautiful. We had everything we needed. Ray and Linda were wonderful to work with, very attentive and quick to remedy any minor issues. The double kayak was in need of repair and Ray worked like crazy to get us a replacement. Highly recommended.

Even Better than We hoped
