Your Paradise Awaits at the lake. 5bd/3bath big game room.

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 place for family vacation
We have loved coming here the past couple of years. It’s situated in a quiet part of the lake but still close to many attractions and town. Perfect for our family.

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 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!

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.

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!

2023 Family Vacation-Fantastic
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!

Paradise at LOTO
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!!

Annual Family Vacation
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

Perfect Home for Large Family Vacation!
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!

One of the Absolute BEST VRBOs!!!
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!!!

Emerald Retreat - Wonderful Stay
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!

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.

The house was exactly as advertised. Very nice, well kept, well stocked and outfitted. Great!!!!!!!!
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!!!!
