Great Spot

This is a great house for a big group. There are a lot of areas to hang out, but as the other people have mentioned in their review, the path to the dock is treacherous. I can't imagine trying to carry a cooler or a child down that path (the trek back up is actually worse). We only went down to the dock once because of the path. They should probably look into some stairs with landings. Other than the path to the lake, the place is great and I would stay there again.

Amazing Property

The house was fantastic for our Thanksgiving! I do have to echo what others say about access to dock. You have to be in some pretty great shape to make it!

Great place with plenty of room

13 of us stayed for a golf trip at the lake. The place was clean and had a lot of space for everyone. We loved the fire put outside and access to dock. We ended up walking down to dock and it is very steep but doable. We did not try other road down to lake by vehicle. We would stay here again

Lots of great space

We enjoyed our stay at the Birdshack. There was plenty of room for our group of 20, lots of comfortable seating in 3 different living spaces.There was plenty of room for dining, too. Most bedrooms were good size with comfortable beds. The big pantry closet in the kitchen was great for all are food. The grandkids enjoyed all the games, including the pool table .The walk to the water on the sidewalk is a bit steep but doable if you take it slow. The porches on the back were nice, including the screened in area. A great place for a family vacation.

Extended family vacation

We had a wonderful time! The house was the perfect size for all of us and the layout was great! The kitchen and eating area was a good size for our big group. There was plenty of space to spread out, but also good sized "common" areas so we could all be together! The only surprise was that the hill down to the lake was extremely steep! We would definitely go back!

Wedding Weekend

We booked this property for a wedding weekend with friends and family and could not have been happier with the turnout! We had our ceremony in the backyard and it was absolutely beautiful. There was plenty of entertainment for the kids and adults and everyone raved about it. We will be booking again in the future 😊

Summer fun

We were a group of 20+ adults visiting the Ozarks for the first time. We all loved the dock and spent most of our time enjoying the water. The hill is steep but it kept us in shape for the week! The house had plenty of sleeping and eating areas to accommodate our large group. We did run into a couple of issues but Jill at LOZ was wonderful to help resolve quickly.

Great weekend with friends and family

We stayed at the Birdshack home to celebrate with family and friends before our sons wedding. The home and amenities were exactly as described and is a beautiful home. Others reported a steep walk to the boat dock.. well this is not over exaggerated. Its VERY steep and a challenge to the younger adults in our group, as well as this 59 yera old.

Awesome Dock!!

We had a group of 25 stay here for a week. Everything was as described. House can handle a group of this size with ease. We spent most our time one the dock...yea all 25 of us at once. The dock can handle this group with ease also. The hike from the house to dock...is horrible, way steeper than pictures lead on. We drove up and down most of the time, you do need a truck or 4x4 to make the drive with ease. I would definitely consider staying here agian!

Awesome!

Had a fantastic family reunion at The Birdshack. Everything was awesome. The only drawback was the steep walk to and from the dock. That hindered some of the older family members from getting down to the dock for family time. Otherwise it fit our group perfectly..More than enough play space inside the house and basketball outside. More than enough pantry and refrigerator space.

Annual family vacation

Perfect location, perfect house set up for big family (12 adults and 10 kids). We loved the dock and luckily had a 4 wheel drive vehicle or you wouldn’t be able reach the water without walking down a very steep, precarious path. But we managed and really enjoyed our stay so much. Loved the firepit and screened in porch. The house could have been a little cleaner, and the metal bunk beds were very noisy but the wood ones were great. Kitchen was fully stocked but didn’t have very much silverware for large crowds. But honestly, none of those negative things would keep us from coming back, just nice to know before you go.

Spectacular

Property was exactly as described. Plenty of space to fit our large group! The Dock!! Perfection! Such a large space for everyone to hang out. I read other reviews about the hike up the hill and how awful it was but as to be expected for the lake! The path from the house to the dock was in fantastic condition making the walk very doable and it was a great way to get in a little cardio while consuming so many calories that weekend 😉. But if you are traveling with older adults or someone not able to make the walk there is a very convenient drive that a truck or SUV can pull up right in front of the dock. Wonderful stay! Will be back!

Large family getaway

Our big family needed a getaway, and this property did not disappoint. A newly redesigned home with high end appliances that comfortably slept all 26 of us, had everything vacationers would want including a large kitchen, multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, screened in porch overlooking the lake with breathtaking views, multiple televisions and sitting areas, complete household sound system, beautiful basement with a poker table, pool table, and full kitchen area. Although the walk to the lake is long and steep, it is well worth it. A beautiful dock area with a full bar, refrigerator, TV, and sound system. There is a new concrete path to the water, but it is steep. There is also a stone path on the opposite side where you can drive a truck or SUV that is AWD/4WD and park on the grass. The owners were great to deal with, and is a property we will look forward to staying again.

Very pleasant stay

First RENT A GOLF CART OR 2!!! It’s a game changer and makes this property even more amazing! Ours came from CR Golf Carts and I highly recommend them. We did find upon arrival that the house wasn’t as clean as we expected and would have liked. The house has a fantastic layout and the dock…..AMAZING!! We had so much fun listening to music and just hanging out on the dock when we weren’t on the boats or Sea-Doos that we rented. Those were rented from Montego Bay Marina which is just up the lake from the house. They were so great to work with and I also highly recommend them. Bring lots of towels but leave the paper goods at home. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes and bathrooms were stocked with toilet paper. There were 2 coffee pots, 2 refrigerators in the house, 1 in the garage, one on the dock and a gas grill in the garage. All you have to do is ENJOY yourself and your family! We will definitely be back!

Wonderful place to enjoy a great getaway or vacation

We rented the "Birdshack" to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary. Our seven children and their families(28 people)stayed here for 4 days. The house and dock area were way better than we expected. We found everything we needed for cooking and the wood supplied was great for making smores in the fire pit in the evenings. The dock was awesome and being able to watch TV and pipe in music was a great addition to an enjoyable time by the water. We enjoyed boating, jet skiing and fishing all day down by the water. Evenings were spent playing games and eating great food prepared by the family. Sleeping accommodations for all 28 people made for a comfortable stay. The screened in porch was nice for morning coffee and late night conversations minus the bugs. The steep paths that lead down to the dock were the only difficult trials we encountered, but we rented a golf cart for the older folks to be able to come down for the day. Although there were minor repairs that needed to be fixed through out the house, it would not keep me from renting this home again. The manager was very helpful and informative. I would recommend anyone with a large group or family to definitley stay at the "Birdshack"!

Great house and dock BUT needs a deep clean.

Hard to review because of the dichotomy of the experience we had. Please read until the end. The house was wonderful for our big group. Lots of large family areas and huge (if disorganized) kitchen. The pantry was large and well stocked. Most of the bedrooms and bathrooms were wonderful. One bedroom was actually just a closet with no window. The dock area was fantastic. We spent many hours boating and swimming at the dock. We had to bring all of our own water toys as there is nothing available at the house. The screened deck and patio were lovely and enjoyable. There were two main drawbacks to the property. As noted by other reviewers, the hill going down to the dock is BRUTAL. Anyone with mobility or health issues will have trouble going down and up the hill. The biggest complaint we had was with the upkeep of the house. It is a pity that such a great property/house has NOT been kept up. Perhaps it was because our stay was at the end of the summer season but many places were dirty and disappointing. Major problems with cleanliness and upkeep. Some of the things we’re experienced were; Trash under beds from previous occupants Two TVs unusable because remotes were gone Broken kitchen drawer Dirty kitchen cabinets Mouse droppings in kitchen Mouse in master bedroom Broken chairs downstairs Dirty baseboards in many areas Advertised toiletries not there Filthy shower in master bedroom Problems with the induction stove

Great property but has issues - dock is NOT easily accessible

We had 3 generations come for a family reunion, ages 13 to 77. We had a great week and this was a beautiful area and home. This home has great TVs (however, we looked for over an hour for the dock TV remote and finally came upon it in a kitchen drawer w/ no batteries) & a beautiful covered patio on the basement level - great fire pit with bench and view of the lake. The screened in porch was a huge hit, as we could sit out there and enjoy meals with a beautiful lake view and no bugs! The dock has a wonderful bar area, bench seating and two picnic tables, as well as space to fish off the dock. However, we did have one massive complaint and that is access to the dock! There is a very steep concrete sidewalk that was even difficult for the teenagers to get up and down. On the opposite side, there is a very rocky, torn up, steep road. You really need to rent a golf cart to access the dock - an additional $500 added to our weekly expenses. This was not stated in advance of our rental agreement. Even with the golf cart you can only use it on the very rocky torn up dirt road and the elderly had a hard time with the bouncing. This was a big stress to our stay. Other issues included a shortage of towels, loud/squeaky door hinges, hair in shower drain and clogged drain, “do not touch” thermostat, not enough silverware, disorganized kitchen and toaster that only halfway worked. We would not stay here again due to the dock issue but hopefully they can improve this for future guests.

Great for large families

We really enjoyed our stay here. We had a large family gathering (22) people and had plenty of room where we didn’t feel crowded. The dock is an amazing place to relax, listen to music and swim. Highly recommend this house for any large groups looking to enjoy the water. Caution on the very steep walk to the lake. We rented a golf cart and it was the best money spent.

Great house!!

We had 18 guys out for an annual golf trip and this is one of the best houses we've stayed at. Great layout and everyone had their own bed. The dock was amazing and had a great speaker set up as well. If you are looking for a large space for a group gathering, this one would be hard to pass up. Great communication from the owner/property manager before and after the visit. Would highly recommend and hope to stay here again next year.
