You can take a 3-4 mile walk all the way around the edge of the island for some alone time, exercise or meditation. Bring your golf cart and take evening rides around the island! YOU CAN EVEN RENT A BOAT FROM THE NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR! There is a full balcony on the upper level with multiple seating areas and a gas grill, accessible from the kitchen/breakfast nook area and also the master bedroom. Also a full lower level deck, accessible from the living area and one bedroom. Multiple seating areas available. There is a large concrete dock with a 10 x 22 slip and two jet ski lifts for your use.

A fire pit down by the water with a picnic table for your evening enjoyment roasting hot dogs and making s’mores. What a way to end your evening at the lake!

This is a 4 Bedroom, 3 1/2 Bath home on MM1 of the Little Niangua. Walking into the main level is an entry with hardwood floors. You will immediately see beautiful, tall, arched windows looking out onto the lake from the family room. A large gas fireplace with a 55” TV on top situated between these windows allows for sitting in front of the lake view windows, watching TV at the same time. There is a couch and two recliners all surrounding and facing the windows/tv. Well stocked kitchen for preparing meals with plenty of cabinet storage and granite countertop space. The kitchen faces the lake, so you can enjoy views while preparing to feed your group. There is a breakfast bar, which separates the kitchen and breakfast nook. The bar seats four and the breakfast nook seats six. Windows facing the lake surround the breakfast nook, so you can start enjoying the view of the lake first thing in the morning. There is an additional dining room with a large table seating eight. Great space for playing games together as well. The laundry is a separate area behind the kitchen separated by a door with a large table for extra storage of your “stuff” or folding laundry. There is a half bath for general use on the main level as well. The master suite is on the main level with a king sized bed and a wall of windows with a door to access the deck on the lake side.

There is a large bathroom with tub/shower, single sink vanity, toilet and built-in makeup vanity, which is accessible from bedroom two and also the main living area. The covered deck on the lower level runs the full length of the house. You can access the deck from bedroom two and from the family room through sliders. Plenty of deck furniture for sitting outside. The way the house is designed allows for each level to have privacy and separation needed at times when traveling in a big group. Very gentle walk from the lower level to the dock. Parking for 5-6 vehicles and a grassy area across the road in alignment with the house for extra parking of vehicles or trailers.

Only 10-20 minutes by boat to popular lake restaurants, such as The Cave, Larry’s on the Lake, Fish & Co., and Captain Ron’s, about 20 minutes by car to Wal-Mart and Gerbes for groceries or the Butcher Shop for your grilling needs. Golf courses, such as Old Kinderhook is within a 15 minute drive.

Absolutely Excellent!
This is the perfect house for a family lake vacation! The house was very clean, very well stocked and Brenda is wonderful to work with. She checked on us multiple times to make sure we had everything we needed and that everything met our expectations. This house is on a quiet cove and quiet area of the lake, which is what we prefer. We will definitely be returning to this property!! Thank you Brenda!!

This was a family get together so the cousins could have fun with each other.
We all had so much fun! The kiddos 8-15 yrs had a blast on the lake with the paddle boat, paddle boards, canoes and lily pad. All the adults were able to join in on the fun with them. The house is beautiful and well stocked, we had everything we could ask for. This will be a memory we all talk about the rest of our lives. Thanks so much!!

Big Island Stay
Although it was a very hot week, our family ages 2-66 enjoyed all the water toys and then cooling off in the spacious beautifully furnished home. The dock area was wonderful with our entire family spending hours down there daily. We loved the location on the inlet. We rented a pontoon for two days from someone that the host recommended, and also a jet ski for one day from a local marina. We would recommend this VRBO to any family who needs a week of relaxation and fun by the water.

Fantastic vacation home on the Lake
This home has everything you will need for a great vacation. From all of the amenities for a wonderful time on the lake kayaks,paddle boards, paddle boat and a Lily pad. The home was very clean and had enough room and space for our group of 13! An extra large dock in a cove off the busy parts of the lake. I would definitely rent this home again unless I needed more space for a larger group!! Thank you Brenda for such a wonderful home!!

Great Family Time
The well supplied House was not only beautiful but spacious enough for our five grandkids aged 14-21 and 6 adults to not be crowded. The swimming dock and water toys were enjoyed by all! We rented a pontoon from next door, and spent a day tubing and enjoying the area! Our week went too fast!

Exactly As Advertised
My family has used this service several times and its VERY rare you find a home that is as perfect and beautiful as it appeared in the pictures. This home was amazing and came with everything you will need for your stay. Brenda (owner) contacted me moments after booking to give me a run down of some of the high points of the area. She gave us several great ideas for activities, many of which we did. This home also comes equipped with a friendly neighbor right next door who rents boats at a very reasonable price. Long story short, we are already planning a return.

Quiet cove and great dock amenities
The owner is very responsive, the house suited our needs, dock toys were great: paddle boards, kayaks, paddle boat, and lily pad. Great area for s’mores by the shoreline, and able to access a boat rental very close by (ask the owner). House is situated on a 3.5 mile “island”/peninsula perfect for a morning jog or walk. We would stay again! Thank you!

Wonderful Vacation Spot!
This home was perfect for our three generation family vacation. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and dining for our family of eleven.....and appreciated the additional kid-sized plastic plates, bowls and cups for our little ones. The Larry Gale boat ramp was easily accessible and only a short distance from the home. Tucked away in a cove, the swimming and boat dock was safe and enjoyable any time of day---plenty of shade and sun! We'll be back! J and N

Our Big Island vacation
The home we stayed in was very clean and amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this home. We enjoyed having the use of the Lilly pad, paddle boards, kayaks and paddle boat. We enjoyed fishing off the dock also. We hope to visit this home again.

Most relaxing vacation we ever had
The layout of the house was excellent, we had thirteen family members and everyone was comfortable, you felt like you were in your own home. We spent most of our time on the dock fishing, swimming, paddle boarding and in the paddle boat. One of the best thing was the neighbor rent boats and he just so happened to have one that we could all ride in.. Overall it was the most relaxing vacation we ever had and are looking forward to returning.

Love this Place - Heaven on earth
This is a lovely home located on a very calm part of the lake, which is what we were looking for. The kitchen is very well equipped as well as the dock with a lily pad, kayak, paddle boat, 2 SUPs and more. This house was very, very clean with everything you would ever need. We are a family of 11 and there is more than enough room and beds for all of us. Brenda is great to work with - if I had any concerns or problems she was quick to resolve it and was easy to get a hold of. She was in touch with me several time before our arrival. Our stay there was heaven and yes we hope to return.

Great
The owner doesn’t an excellent job of communicating with you before the stay. Her description of everything, check in, and check out process was wonderful. One of the main reasons we chose this place was the bedroom layouts. We had three other families with us for our stay and all of us had beds and plenty of room. The place was clean, clean, clean. We loved how we could use the lily pad, paddle boards, kayaks, fun noodles, paddle boat, fishing poles, etc. Although this place did have steps going down to the dock, they were nice and wide. One member of the party uses a walker and was able to navigate on the wide steps to the dock. We would definitely come back.

A perfect weekend at the lake
We needed a weekend getaway after months at home, and couldn't have had a better time. The home was beautiful (and spotless!), the cove is peaceful and quiet, just perfect for families with kids. We had more than enough room for everyone to sleep - the layout of the house was ideal for two families with kids, plus grandparents. The dock has plenty of space to relax and enjoy the sun, great for jumping in the lake. Lots of equipment for your use: lily pad, 2 SUPs, a kayak and a paddleboat. The house was beautiful and spotless. The kitchen was so well equipped, we had a great time preparing meals there. There are two large decks with plenty of seating, and the lake view is fabulous . Brenda was lovely to work with, a wonderful host. You will not be disappointed!

About the host

Hosted by Brenda Dunahee

Host profile image
We are Dennis and Brenda Dunahee from Chenoa, IL. We have five children and 11 grandchildren. We all love Lake of the Ozarks. We bought our first vacation lake home in 2010. We made so many wonderful memories with family and friends. We sold our home in June of 2018 and in November of 2019 purchased our second vacation lake home. There is no better qualtiy time spent with the people in your life, as the time spent just enjoying each others company at the lake. We especially enjoy sharing our home with other families as a vacation rental, so that they can also make the same kind of memories with their family and friends as we do. We look forward to getting to know each group that chooses our home and hearing about your time spent at Big Island Time!

Why they chose this property

This property was a no-brainer for us. Tucked away in a quiet cove on a quiet island, just far enough away from town, but yet close enough to town. Nice roads, timber, so there is wildlife. Historic original fishing camp on the other side of the cove. Great concrete dock. Spacious house with two levels, each level with bedrooms, kitchen area, family room and bathrooms. Decks on both levels, Great walk around the perimeter of the island. Lots of parking space. Safe swimming in calm water for children. Fire pit down by the lake. Easy walk to the dock. Great fishing in the Little Niangua. There just was not a negative about this property.

What makes this property unique

Good proximity to things to do by land and water.
