Very easy to get to. The gravel road down to the house is probably the nicest lake road I have ever seen. We had more than enough parking and had even more if we needed it. The house was as advertised and we really enjoyed the back porch as it runs the length of the back of the house. Plenty of room to spread out and relax. The dock and cove were just fine for us and our group of 10 people. A lot of boaters used our cove as a place to anchor and hang out, so that was pretty fun as well. Overall, we enjoyed our time here and would book again.
We needed extra bedrooms for our family and this property provides it. Spotless inside and a large deck and dock for boats and fun in the water. Loft steps are a bit steep so plan accordingly.
We had a wonderful time for our family girls trip!! Being right on the water with access to the dock was wonderful! The entire house was extremely clean!!!! Only downside was the steep driveway for parking (there is other parking available with stairs to get to the house) and the pictures did make the house look a little bit bigger than it was in person.
Owner was super helpful with specific directions on checking in and all the amenities. Our group had a great time at Whitâs End and would definitely stay again! Kitchen is well stocked for cooking for a large family.
Nice and very clean, cool air, plenty of room, easy check-in. Perfect space for us, in a nice cove so the kids could swim. We had plenty of supplies and no needs. We would stay again!
A gathering to acknowledge a family milestone. A lovely, quiet retreat with fishing, kayaking, swimming, and visiting. A great fantastic Ozark retreat!
The location of this home on the lake was amazing. The cove was great for floating and relaxing. Has plenty of outdoor and indoor space for our group of 10. The Property Manager was great to work with and quick to response to my questions. The steep stairs to the loft were the only downer but didnât ruin the trip. I would stay here again!
This was our first time staying at this property, and it was just a perfect setup for our family of 10. The house was fully furnished with everything we would want for a lake vacation. We thoroughly enjoyed the large deck. It was perfect for all our family meals, game time, and just visiting. Loved the fact that there were very few stairs from the deck down to the dock. The cove was nice and quiet.
This was a lovely home to rent! The cove was very family friendly and easy to swim as well as float around. The house you could tell was well cleaned and maintained. Wonderful setting for our family get together and looking forward to coming back again!!
Positives/To be celebrated:
This property offers great water enjoyment on the lake- including fishing, kayaking, and general swimming with inner tubes and the floating Lilly pad for kids. The owners have several games offered for family fun around the living room. We enjoyed this very much. Bathrooms were clean and kitchen had everything we needed for cooking.
Could be better/Better managed:
The stairs to the loft were much steeper than photos convey online and were a bit of a safety hazard for my young nephew and niece. This communication would be helpful. I might suggest using fly traps somewhere as there were a fair amount of flies in the house when we arrived. Would also suggest having more of the cobwebs cleaned off of the porch furniture and dock before guests arrive, but realize itâs also nature and thereâs only so much you can do. The guests before our stay smoked on the property and there were cigarette butts around the grounds, unfortunately. Hard to see unless looking more closely so I can understand why the cleaning crew missed this.
Overall, it was a very nice time to spend with family and enjoy the kayaks + dock for lots of fishing. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
This was a great place to stay, the pictures make it look bigger than it really was, and the only downside was that the dock only had three deck chairs for a house that sleeps 12. I would definitely recommend increasing that as itâs not conducive to using the dock with a large group. Also, the coffee pot is only to be used with bottled water but I didnât see that anywhere prior to checking inâ-would have been helpful. Location was great and easy access to grocery stores. Overall, we would consider staying here again⊠But the chairs issue was somewhat frustrating.
The cove location was great for swimming & floating. The large deck and plenty of outdoor seating was another plus! However, the parking was tight and the loft stairway was steep. Would definitely stay here again!
My family and I loved this property. It had plenty of space so it didnât feel crowded. The area was great for fishing. We also really enjoyed all of the outdoor seating so we could all sit together. :)
House was good. It appeared bigger in the pictures but the cove location was a great place to stay and swim. Especially for kids.
Rental manager was very easy to work with.
Our three families--6 adults, 6 children ages 4 - 14--had a wonderful week at Whit's End. The home accommodated the twelve of us easily, the location on the lake was great. Besides a quiet cove for swimming and relaxing, it is easily accessible to rentals of pontoons or jet skis. The large deck provided ample space for meals, games, and relaxation.
House was clean, beds comfortable and well equipped. Walk to the doc was easy. Parking was tight but doable. Laurie is a small town near and has everything we needed - like big grocery store and few other stores. Boat doc is within 10 miles of the rental. Short boat ride to a few local restaurants. The owner is quick to answer questions. Check in was easy. The cove is quiet and just be a local favorite because on the weekend bigger boats would come in - park and swim. It was nice to be near the back of the cove - make kayaking and paddle boarding a little safer. The owner had life jackets and other water toys available if needed. We didnât use them because we had our own. Definitely would stay again. Ty
Perfect location on the lake for touring with a boat then swimming, floating and kayaking off of a very nice dock The home was spacious with comfortable beds and equipped kitchen. The deck had many chairs and the grill very clean. I would recommend this home.
The use of the dock/kayaks was really nice. The house is nice and in a great location. The only downfall is the stairs to the loft, these are very steep so not suitable for older individuals. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
The renting process was easy. Searched on the website and found the perfect home for our family to stay at. Any questions I had were quickly answered through email.
