We had a fantastic stay! Our group included my husband and I, our kids, my mother, and two of our friends and their kids (5 adults plus children ages 3-9). Each one of us had a wonderful time.
We visited during the busy, popular 2024 eclipse time and spent an extended weekend relaxing and enjoying the lake view from the sunroom, the pier, the fire circle (perfect eclipse viewing spot!), and the back porch. The kids played foosball, collected sticks for our fire, played with games/books that were provided with the house. (Kayaks were provided but we did not take them out because we had young non-swimming kids.)
We were the first guests to stay at this beautiful and newly renovated house. As such, there were a few very minor things that we had to ask the host about (for example, we didn’t see instructions for how to use the dry sauna). Each time we contacted the host, they were very responsive, friendly, and prompt. OzarkStays went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful stay.
We cooked all meals at the house in the fully stocked kitchen. I was pleasantly surprised to find a few extras beyond the basics (e.g., garlic powder, cooking oil, ziploc bags, kids dishes/utensils). I was also pleasantly surprised that a Walmart was close by to what seemed like a secluded, remote vacation home, but it turned out we never needed to shop because the house had everything we needed.
Our entire group has vowed to return again soon! It was a great experience all-around.
