Your Own Private Lake & Lodge—The Midwest’s Hidden Gem Retreat

Welcome to Dovetail Springs, your dream retreat on 122 private acres in the Ozarks—where relaxation, adventure, and connection come naturally.

This 4-bedroom, 2-bath lake house overlooks your own 22-acre private lake, complete with a dock and net lounge for sun-soaked naps or lazy afternoons over the water. Spend your days kayaking, fishing, or hiking peaceful trails to a hidden waterfall just 30 minutes from your doorstep.

Evenings come alive on the wrap-around porch, where a cozy couch and fire pit invite late-night chats, marshmallow roasting, and unforgettable moments under the stars. A screened-in porch with a bar makes hosting friends or family a breeze, while the outdoor ping pong table adds a touch of playful competition.

Inside, unwind in the spacious living room with a buttery-soft couch that doubles as a bed, and take in the serene views from every window. Stargaze with the telescope after dinner, grill your favorites over the outdoor BBQ, and let the quiet, natural rhythm of the land reset your soul.

Speaking of nature, don't forget to search for the family of bald eagles or wave to the herd of ponies on your way into the property.

Whether you're gathering with friends, planning a family getaway, or seeking solitude with nature—this place was made for memories.
