This one is a bit tough for me to respond. We did fail to properly communicate the change of not being able to use the lift and needing to side-tie boat. For that we apologize. Last year was a learning experience for us with us being new and we strive to learn from those mistakes. If had given the opportunity, we would have tried to make it right. Even though we hate seeing a 1-star review, Lina does bring up a very good point that we try to stress in the booking and that is we are on the busiest part of the main channel. Waves get very large on busy weekends. If you plan to side-tie, please be familiar with the process and know how to properly do it. We spent a lot of time and money last year trying to keep up with fixing damage done from boaters improperly tying their boats. The boats should not be tied tightly but instead with their bumpers down loosely tied allowing the boat to move freely and independently of the dock without ripping off cleats, damaging the dock, or damaging the boat. The right side of the dock (side with all the cleats and bumpers and closest to break wall) is setup for side tying and should be used.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a nice, detailed review. We truly appreciate that! Being a lakefront home in the hills of the Ozarks, there are a few realities we always try to be transparent about. Bugs and spiders can be present at the lake, especially seasonally, but we do have professional pest control servicing the property monthly to help keep this to a minimum. Our cleaners also wipe down all outdoor furniture between stays to reduce dust and dirt that naturally comes in with the lake breeze. In addition, we hire a professional outdoor cleaning service at the beginning of each year to deep clean decks, railings, and exterior areas to help maintain the space throughout the season. You are correct about the terrain. Lake of the Ozarks is very hilly, and this property has a steep driveway and multiple sets of stairs. We do our best to note this in the listing, as it can be challenging for small children or guests with mobility concerns. The home is intentionally maintained as a, classic lake house, which does mean some features—such as the bathrooms—are not going to be your new modern look. That said, we understand the importance of cleanliness and freshness regardless of style, we continue to work with our cleaners to maintain proper cleanliness. We’re glad to hear you still found the property charming, enjoyed the upper deck views, and felt it was a great space for teens. October can still bring heavy boat traffic and rough water conditions, and you’re right—this area isn’t ideal for swimming with younger folk which is why we ask little ones to have on life jackets even when hanging out on the dock. For adults and teens, the waves make for a fun time when swimming. And lastly our friends and neighbors there are what makes the LOTO community so awesome! It’s all part of the experience and we’re happy you got to see that. Thank you again for your stay and for sharing your experience. We take our feedback seriously and are always finding way to continue improving and enhancing the experience!
