Large home on the lake with easy access to the water for boating. Our grandchildren enjoyed throwing rocks in the water and collecting driftwood for the fire pit. The house provided comfortable arrangements for our 4 adult couples and 10 children under 13yrs. Spacious and fairly childproof (some tchotchkes had to be put out of reach of the smaller ones) allowing children space for play with hurting themselves or damaging property. (We had lots of indoor time due to several rainy days). Access was easy from the provided parking; we were able to get four mini-vans./suvs in the driveway about 20 feet from the front door. The neighborhood was very quiet during our stay. The house was spotless with ample linen, clean sheets and comfortable beds. Large appliances (oven-cooktop, microwave, washer, dryer and 2 refrigerator/freezers) more than met our needs. A toaster and 2 coffee pots were also provided. Lots of TVs, but no instructions were found on using the systems; we didn't try very hard to make them work. That didn't matter for our group, but could be an issue for others. I suspect the host would have provided help if necessary; she was very responsive to our messaging through the VRBO system. Check-in and check out instructions were timely and simple. We would definitely consider this property for a return visit. While the cost might seem high, divided among five families (would we have wanted to do that) it's a good price. We highly recommend this property and host.

This property is spectacular! Eleven women ranging in age from 44-65 enjoyed our girl's weekend and all of us want to rent this property for family vacations. The view from the deck is beautiful and serene. Indoor and outdoor spaces have room for everyone to enjoy. Every aspect of the property was clean and well maintained. For boat owners, the boat ramp is in the backyard. Boat slips are on the West side of the house. For families who want to explore the area, it is centrally located for hiking, boating, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing. Shopping and entertainment in Branson, MO or Eureka Springs, AR is within a 30-minute drive. Exploring the incredible Dogwood Canyon is a 10-minute drive--tip is to purchase your general admission tickets and the Tram Tour ticket online and in advance because the tram tour sells out quickly. We also went horseback riding at Dogwood. The price is reasonable and the countryside is beautiful. The restaurant at Dogwood Canyon has indoor or outdoor seating with an incredible view of a waterfall--just one of the many. Lastly, if you don't want to leave the property, it is perfect for relaxing--especially in the screened in deck or on the outdoor deck. Roasting hot dogs and making smores around the fire pit is fun but it's also great for relaxing around, telling stories, and consuming beverages of your choice. I know I am gushing over this place but I have stayed in a lot of VRBO's from Colorado to Florida and I fell in love with this property and the places to visit in the area.

Very nice and clean

Everything was just as advertised.

We had our early family Thanksgiving here. It was great, plenty of room for everyone. We hope to be back in the warmer seasons to be able to enjoy the water. Overall we have no complaints and enjoyed our stay!!

We loved our stay at this facility. Kitchen is surprisingly equipped with everything you need. Beautiful view of the Lake. Will definitely recommend this property.

The rental process was easy and went smoothly.

We loved this house and the view! However, we saw several mice during our stay and found mice droppings and hair in some of the sheets upon arrival. Other than cleanliness, this property was great! We enjoyed being able to take our boat straight down to the boat ramp!

Beautiful view of the lake from the large desk, great place to relax or socialize. Disappointed we had no dock for swimming, or place to dock the boat & wave runner. We had to use shell knob's public boat ramp dock to get my 80 yr old father into the boat. The boat ramp was just below the property which was convenient. The fishermen in the family enjoyed the lake and caught a few. The lake water was a perfect temperature for swimming, tubing, knee boarding, paddle board, kayak etc... The lake home was spacious and comfortable, cute nautical theme décor. My family made memories that will last a life time! Thank you for sharing your Lake home!

Beautiful home, well equipped, comfortable and quiet. 6 adults in our party, plenty of room. Outside area (screened in porch and large deck) was our go-to for ‘happy hour’ and conversations. Firepit was also very enjoyable.

We really enjoyed our stay in Shell Knob! The layout of the house suited our group of 9 with space and bedding to spare! The view of the lake is amazing!!

Nice, large house in great condition with roomy deck. Great views--just right for family vacation. Things owner needs to know about: house was cleaned well except infant booster seat, swing, etc had sticky stuff on them; 17 in our party but only had bed linens for 12--I paid a premium for my group size but felt nothing extra was provided for that fee.

The location is perfect in more than one way. Access to the lake with your boat right at backdoor. Distance to Branson or Eureka Springs makes either one an enjoyable day trip. Lastly, if you just want to sit on deck or screened porch you have an excellent view. Wendy was prompt to answer any questions we had and house was perfectly stocked with items listed. Thanks Wendy for sharing your lakeside oasis!

This was a great property to use for our large family get together. Even with the deck right outside the back porch, it was a quiet get away. We had no issue with large amounts of traffic or any safety concerns for the children. Other than some tuffs of black hair rolling around the house and the basement walkout door being difficult for some to open, we enjoyed our stay and liked the property very much. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a large family getaway. We would come back here again if we do it again

We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay @ the lake! We had 16 people in total and this property had ample space to accommodate our needs. Though it rained most of our weekend, we still were able to comfortably hang out in doors, fish and simply take in the views. Quiet neighborhood and though the boat access ramp is at the foot of the property, we had zero issues with traffic. Would definitely return and believe we may look into having this be an annual event. Thanks Wendy!

We had a lot of fun in this beautiful home! The weather didn’t cooperate, but the downstairs living area was a perfect escape for the kids while the adults played board games upstairs.

We were looking for a place on the lake that was a bit less crowded than some parts of the lake. This was a perfect spot, in a quiet cove, just a short distance from the shell knob business area. The house was great and accommodated out whole group comfortably. I would definitely book again for a large group.

We had a great time. The views of the lake are great. Plenty of room for my entire family. There were 9 of us all together. Really a great place to stay.

We rented this house for our team celebration. We had 10 adults and there was plenty of room for socializing and eating for everyone. The bunk bed and twin beds are better suited for kids than adults but they work. The location on the lake is great! Secluded and peaceful! Highly recommend!
