Family-Friendly Lakeside Resort-like Home for Reunions, Retreats & Large Groups

This lodge is waiting for you and your family!
Come and join us for three levels of executive comfort on a private, 37-acre spring-fed lake. This is a wonderful location for a family vacation, reunion, retreats, and more.
Lake Amenities Include:
- Boat Dock: Jump off the dock and swim, float on a raft and enjoy the lake.
- Boat House: plenty of life jackets for everyone
- Lake: spring fed, crystal clear water, abundant fishing, canoes, and kayaks for your use. No gas motors on the lake, just peace and quiet!

After a relaxing day on the lake, perhaps you would like to challenge a family member to a game of disc golf on our 9-hole course?
Or get the clubs and balls out and do some Scottish style chipping?
Bring your bikes and ride around the lake or up in the woods, or hike in our 342 acres, photograph wildlife, pack a picnic and explore.

We also have a Fire Pit with room for everyone (we supply the firewood!)

All space is flexible to meet the needs of your family or group.

Lodge Main Floor Rooms:
- Red Bud bedroom: comfortable queen bed with built-ins, 2 sets of homemade bunk beds, and an adjoining, private full bathroom with shower.

- Gathering Room: piano, couches, chairs, and a unique design with perfect places for conversation or to catch up on your reading.
- Great Room: open, spacious area that is multi-functional. Tables and chairs can be set up for dinner, crafts, movies, and games. Plenty of room for everyone in your party to stretch out.
- Sunroom: plenty of comfy chairs and room on the floor for kids to play with a beautiful lake views on three sides. This is the perfect place to reflect with your morning coffee!

Perfect Family Reunion Spot
We gathered 8 families on the property for Labor Day weekend and it was perfect! Everyone had their own room/space and the house is big enough that we didn’t feel cramped at all. Outdoor there were so many things to do - we rode on the pontoon, swam, fished, sat around the fire, played cornhole and so much more! They had everything stocked and ready for us to enjoy the weekend and time together. Would definitely come again!

Loved this property!
Our family of 26 stayed comfortably in this house! We were so impressed by the cleanliness of the home and what it had to offer. Whatever is in your home can be found in this house…and then some! From ample amounts of paper towels, trash bags, and TP to crock pots, life jackets and beach towels, this vacation rental had it all. Our kids and grandkids enjoyed the canoes, boating, and fishing. The dock is perfect for kids of all ages. Just can’t say enough! Check in and check out we’re a breeze. The owner and property manager were very helpful and prompt with responses. Don’t hesitate to book this property if you’re looking for fun and relaxation.

Memories abundant!
My brother and I rented this for our adult children and grandkids from ages 6 to 18! TX, IN, AR, and WI were all represented! So much for the kids to do, golf, disc golf, basketball, room for some baseball... fishing of course the highlight was swimming endlessly! Plenty of room for 22 people and ample kitchen spaces. We are hoping to return!

Fabulous Lake House
The house is fantastic, with plenty of bathrooms, beds, and gathering spaces for everyone. The kitchens are the best stocked kitchens I've ever seen in a vrbo rental. We loved the lake and having access to paddleboards and kayaks was awesome. Everyone had a great time and all the kids are asking when we can go back. We definitely want to return some time!

Graduation celebration
34 recent high school graduates celebrated together for 3 nights. The property offered so much for the kids to do. The spaces in the house were generous and well furnished. Kids could watch movies, build puzzles and sign yearbooks together. The proximity to the town of Rolla made food shopping easy. The entire trip exceeded my expectations in every way.

Met our needs perfectly.
This was a fantastic place for our family of 27 to spend a week. There is a lot of room in the house. We didn’t feel crowded the day we had to stay inside because of rain. The 3 refrigerators and multiple ovens in the kitchens were very nice. We enjoyed the kayaks, swimming, and fishing off the dock. The only downside was there was no shallow place for the toddlers to play in the water. There were enough life jackets for them to wear while on the dock. There were other outside games to play when not swimming. We made many memories in a very comfortable house.

Awesome Summertime Family Reunion
Our 4-generation family came here to celebrate our folks' 80th birthdays. The lake and water toys were highlights. The grounds are beautifully land-scaped. We made use of the large gathering space in the great room for sharing memories and singing. The outdoor eating area, fire pit, rocky ridge trail, and moonlit pontoon rides were all much enjoyed. We appreciated that the mattresses could be removed from the bunk beds and used elsewhere to make the sleeping arrangements more suitable to our older children. We would definitely recommend this property! There's plenty of fun and relaxation right there, you don't even need to leave the premises!

Incredible Property
Our extended family (30+) stayed here for a family reunion two years ago and fell in love with it. We decided to come back again this summer! We have folks from St. Louis area and Springfield area, so this was right in the middle for everyone! The house and surrounding area is well kept and has everything we needed. PLENTY of beds and places to sleep for everyone, tons of indoor and outdoor seating, towels provided, stocked kitchen(s), paddle boards/canoes/kayaks, life jackets, folding chairs, you name it! We really liked this set up because everyone could be together, but still have some flexibility. Anyone could go to and from the dock and house to cool off, take a nap, fix a snack, etc. Or if some wanted to swim later while others sat up by the fire pit we were all still together. The dock was spacious for everyone and had picnic tables, ladders, and a step down/ledge for sitting/jumping. The owners/caretakers were extremely nice and accommodating. We are planning to come back again next summer! We highly recommend this property for any larger group gatherings with friends or family.

The house and the property was beautiful. They had everything we needed to have a great family trip. Everyone enjoyed spending time on the dock and in the water using the paddle boards and canoes. The lake was clean and fun to swim in. The house was well equipped with everything we needed including blankets, towels, lawn chairs and games. Perfect location for family time. Just wish we would have stayed longer.
