About this property

“Calm Water Cove” A Fun Family Lake Front Retreat

Welcome to “Calm Water Cove”.

This home is the perfect getaway for you and your family at the Lake of the Ozarks where there is something for everyone to enjoy.

This home is located in the back of a small cove off the main channel just off of mile marker 5 on the popular North Shore. This home is beautifully decorated and gives you a coastal cottage feel which invites you to relax and settle in for a great vacation.

The house is close to the water for easy access to the large dock which has both a swim deck and a sun deck. You can have hours of fun doing activities off the dock including swimming, paddle-boarding, kayaking, and playing on the Aqua Lily – all provided for your use! And don’t worry about filling up your suitcase with a bunch of beach towels – we have those for you too! Even though we are a short distance from the main channel, the water in the cove is calm and safe for swimming.

Brought your own boat or planning to rent one? We have a great 28 ft x 9 1/2 ft covered boat slip on the dock available for your use. By water you are just a short boat ride away to some local hot spots such as Boathouse Lakeside Bar and Grill, Shady Gators, Neon Taco, and Docknockers. We have parking for 2 vehicles directly in front of the house, and parking nearby for additional vehicles and boat trailers for a small fee.

When you feel like staying on dry land, enjoy the beautiful deck overlooking the lake which is located right next the gazebo. It is a peaceful place to relax and enjoy your morning coffee or your evening cocktail. Or move on over to the large hammock for an afternoon nap.

Preparing meals is easy to do with our fully stocked kitchen complete with drip coffee pot, Keurig coffee bar, griddle, pots, pans, knives, cooking utensils, etc. We also have 2 refrigerators to keep all of your food and beverages cold. Located off of the kitchen is a Weber propane grill ready for you to grill out on the deck. There is plenty of seating for everyone both indoors and outdoors. The kitchen has a large table to seat 8-10, with an additional 4 seats at the bar. Finish off your meal with s’mores roasted in the fire pit down by the lake.

There are three bedrooms that are each furnished with a queen bed, and the bunk room has double bunk beds which consist of Twin over Twin bunks and a Twin over Full bunk bed. There is also a pull-out sofa if you need an extra space to sleep and a pack n play provided. This home is best suited to sleep a maximum of 8 adults. We have a washer and dryer with detergent and dryer sheets available for your use.

If it happens to rain, we have plenty of indoor activities to keep you busy. There are plenty of board games, cards, Wi-Fi and 5 TVs throughout the house so you can stream your favorite movies.

If you are looking for activities that don’t involve the water, head into nearby town to walk the iconic strip by Bagnell Dam and do some shopping or dining at many of the local restaurants and bars. Also close by is an outlet mall, go carts, golfing, and grocery stores.

With a relaxing location and beautiful setting, Calm Water Cove is the perfect place to visit any time of year. Come and stay with us for Easter, spring break, summer vacation, or on a crisp fall weekend when the leaves are changing. This is a beautiful home, and we can’t wait to have you as our guest!

Family Lake time

The house was great. 2 families with teenagers. 2 rooms in lower level that the kids stayed in and 2 rooms on main level for the adults. Lots of space and big kitchen table for all to eat and play games. Great dock to fish or float in the cove. Overall a great time was had by all and the house has almost all you need.

Great property!

We had so much fun at this home on Lake of the Ozarks! Our family loved the calm cove and the large dock for swimming. The lilly pad and kayaks added adventure and we rented a pontoon one day to explore the rest of the lake. This house is lovely and had everything we needed to make meals and grill. There were many great places to sit outside and enjoy the lake and the views. The owners provided many extras and everything we needed. One of the best VRBO’s we have stayed in!

Such a wonderful place to stay

We had such a great vacation, staying at Calm Water Cove. We are a family of 6 and allowed some of our kids to bring friends. Comfortably slept 8. Great area, perfect dock for swimming, kayaking, tanning, etc. House had everything we could need. From kitchen supplies, to S’mores ingredients, beach towels, and so much more. I personally appreciate having nice shampoo, conditioner, laundry soap, etc - felt just like home. Will definitely plan to stay again.

Great getaway for families and friends

A group of 10 (4 adults / 6 children) of us stayed here and we had a blast. The house was cozy and relaxing, the outdoor space was plentiful and quiet, and the kids had a blast with the kayaks. We would recommend this house and would definetly be coming back in the future.

Family Getaway

We enjoyed the house very much! Had 6 adults and 5 children with plenty of room. The kids loved using the aqua lily off the dock and trying the paddle board and kayaks within the cove. We were there Monday through Friday and the lake and cove were very quiet early in the week. Only started seeing neighbors late on Thursday. We should have bought fire wood early in the week because it rained a bit and everything was wet so we couldn't get a fire going for smores our last night.

Great week of floating!

Our group of 8 had a great stay here. The dock is large and the area is perfect for floating and paddling without a lot of boat traffic. The house came with everything we needed to make all our meals, store leftovers, etc. The beds were comfortable, there were lots of towels and good toiletries provided, and we all enjoyed our time here!

Family Vacation

We loved Calm Water Cove! This was our first time to Lake of the Ozarks. There were activities for everyone—we rented a boat for tubing & cliff jumping. Some shopping & restaurants on the Bagnell Dam strip The Lake is peaceful to float around the cove or hang out on the dock. I found this beautiful property to be just as advertised.

We absolutely loved Calm Water Cove! There was plenty of room for 6 adults and we spent most of the our days on the dock using the water toys and our evenings by the fire pit. The welcome gift was awesome as well! This was our first trip to the Ozarks and it was just what we needed!

The Perfect Relaxing Getaway

We've rented here twice now for spring break we couldn't be happier with it. It's a quiet, peacefull little cove. The kids love using the kayaks on the lake and the parents love watching them and just relaxing with a cup of coffee or glass of wine. We'll definitely be coming back. The kids are already asking when!

Great Stay!

We had a fabulouse stay at Calm Water Cove. There were 11 of us, including 7 kids ages 1-13. The cove was perfect for swimming off the dock, using the lily pad, etc. We brought our boat and were able to easily access the lake and restaurants. The 4 bedrooms allowed for plenty of room for everyone to sleep. We appreciated all the included amenities so we didnt have to worry about packing towels, toiletries, soap, etc. We had a great stay and would love to return!

Perfect location

This property is exactly as described. We arrived to a cute welcome basket with goodies and an adorable house to enjoy for the weekend. The water is perfect and safe for swimming without worrying about a lot of waves from boaters. Perfect location and close to everyplace we wanted to go. Family had a great time! We will likely try to rent this same location next year for our annual Ozarks Family Trip!

Amazing Getaway

This was our second stay at Calmwater Cove and once again had an amazing time. The house had plenty of kitchen items and a large table for meals. We spent our days playing in the water and evenings relaxing around the fire. The cove doesn't have much boat traffic so it was great for the kids to play right off the dock.

Perfect location!!

This spot was perfect for the two families that stayed with a total of 6 kids ages 2-7. Waters were calm back in the cove so we were able to swim right off the dock with the little kids. There was a lily pad and even had a little splash pad setup that the kids LOVED! Everything was fantastic from the calm cove waters, close boat ride to restaurants, organization of the house and amenities. We would definitely book this again!
