Great location on the lake. Plenty of room and beds for our group. Close to Camdenton for groceries, gas, etc. Some of group played golf, fished, and we enjoyed the fire pit in the evening. Well furnished house. We had a great time!
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
It is nice place, we enjoyed are trip.fully enjoyed. I don’t have to bring nothing from my home. I cook some food but house are great & my family members love this house. We prefer some one needs to come vacation we prefer your property to rent. Me and my family members loved your property.
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.
We had a hadfull of managers come together for a meeting where we couldn't be distracted. I worked out great! Plenty of bedrooms and space in the kitchen and living rooms.
Thank you
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.
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.

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 house, great location on the lake. The walk to the dock is very steep and was difficult for our older guests. A Gator or golf cart would be very helpful. Management very responsive
The property is perfect for a large group, plenty of bedrooms and space. The walk to and from the dock can be difficult for older guests, a 4x4 vehicle is a major plus. The property manager was very responsive with out requests.
Loved the seclusion, plenty of space for everyone. We originally thought we would have 22 and only had 17. We would have had plenty of space for all 22. The little family room off the entrance way was an adorable place for our Christmas gathering. There are individual temperature settings for the main floor and the bottom floor. Once we discovered the one downstairs it really allowed comfort for all. We went in the winter so we did not use the dock but it is very spacious. Even had a fridge and TV. The description and reviews are true about how steep it is to get to the dock but there is a paved path. A good workout. Everyone had a great time and commented how beautiful the place was; iInside and view.
This place was everything we expected and more!! It was great for our weekend getaway and the check in and out process was seamless! We are already planning our next trip back!
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!
Amazing property with incredible boat dock for fun water activities. We had a week of memorable times with 4 generations. Just make sure you have a 4 wheel drive vehicle for getting elderly people down to the dock and hauling some of the water toys! Beautiful views from the screened in porch.
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 😊

Family Graduation Celebration at the Ozarks
We had a wonderful time! Our party was a total of 18 adults, and we all fit comfortably. The home is beautiful and very comfortable. The one drawback was the treacherous walk from the house to the dock. We had one Senior Citizen with us who unfortunately couldn't join us when we were on the dock because she couldn't get to it. I didn't read any details in the description of the home that mentioned the extremely steep walk down the hill to get to the water.Other than that, the property was terrific, and we had a great time!
