Very nice, second stay at this property

This house was perfect for our group. It was very clean and well equipped. The outdoor spaces are fun, especially the dock. We used the fire pit for s’mores as well as the Blackstone and Weber grill for meals. We would definitely consider staying again.

We had a great time. There were 13 of us in total ranging in age of 7- 68! The house was beautiful and the view was amazing.

This property is an excellent choice for a family vacation. Our group of 8, 4 adults and 4 kids, had plenty of space. It was spotless and the amenities were wonderful. The kids spent several hours every day using the dock area. They loved the jumping platform, the water slide, climbing to the top of the mountain and the floating platform. We played ping pong and pool many times. It was just a wonderful week for all of us!
The owner was always available and was very easy to communicate with! Overall, this is one of the best vacations we’ve had!

We had a great week at this lake home. There were 13 in our party (ages 4 through 70) and there was plenty of room for all of us. The home had amazing lake views, was clean, and the beds were very comfortable. The Weber and Blackstone grills were a huge plus, and we did all of our cooking outside. When we weren't out boating, the kids really enjoyed the dock complex and were so excited about how many fish they caught. The home sits on a quiet cove (during the week at least) that was great for skiing and was a perfect location for getting to some of the popular restaurants. We also enjoyed Indian Rock Golf Club that was about 5 minutes from the house. We would definitely return.
Things I wish I knew beforehand:
Bass Point Resort is the best place to launch a boat that we found. It's the second closest ramp (under 10 minutes by car) but was way better than the closest (Millstone). Lake Shores was right across from Bass Point and also looked pretty good.
You can only park a loaded boat trailer on the road above the property for a short time.
It was a little tricky backing an empty 25ft trailer down the steep driveway, but it worked and there was still room for probably three vehicles.
The boat slip worked well once we figured out the best way to tie up the boat, but there were some large wakes that came into the dock that bounced the boat around pretty hard.

Great place! The location is excellent – nice relatively quiet channel, but close to main channel. Easy boat ride over to H. Toads or Shady Gators for food & drink and entertainment. Next door is nice little fuel station open on weekends. Can land boat at either Bass Point Resort ($10) or Lake Shores Marina ($5) which are just around the corner.
The home was well kept. Beds were comfortable. Layout was solid. Plenty of outdoor living space. Parking was great. Two fridges was nice to have. Laundry room was excellent. The downstairs entertainment area was great – very large TV, bar with amenities, couches, and pool/ping pong table.
The real show was the dock! Sure, a few steps up and down but size and layout were great! They have nice inflatable items – a pad for lounging and a climbing structure. The dock has a jumping platform (8 feet), water slide (with water running down it) and easy to climb ladder. The water was nice and deep off the end of the dock. There’s an empty boat slip and the dock is big enough for a large group to be out there – both with swimmers and those enjoying the sun. We found ourselves on the dock more than the house! The fishing in the area was solid – crappies, bluegills, bass, & catfish. And, the water temp was amazing - 85 degrees F surface temp - in mid-Aug.
It is a windy, gravel road to the place – but fairly easy to navigate. We really enjoyed the donuts from Donut Palace in the nearby town of Laurie, half price pizza on Tuesday at Alley Cat’s in Lake Ozark, and a ‘beach day’ at Franky & Louie’s Beachfront Bar & Grill.
The owner was very communicative and did a great job of laying out all of the details, etc. If you are eyeing this place, you should book it with confidence!

Amazing house
We absolutely loved the house and everything it came with. Swimming off the dock, diving off the platform and going down the slide into the amazing lake was so much fun. If you are looking for a Lake of the Ozarks vacation this is your place to go. Charlie the owner was wonderful in answering any questions we had about the area.
4.0
The place offers a lot of things for kids to do. Ping pong, pool table, outside slide, diving platform and climbing wall in the water. The kids enjoyed this as well as the boat we rented to go tubing. The lake is really nice and was warm in June. The lake also offers a lot of restaurants on the water to eat at. The only complaint I would have is the TV service was not great and reception would go In and out. The kitchen was not that big but we made it work for 10 people. NIce property and communication with the owner great.

Wonderful Stay at Thunder Cove
Our family of 7 adult and 3 kids had a wonderful week at Thunder Cove. This house has the very best location in a large quiet cove on a large busy lake. We enjoyed hanging out on the dock with the high dive, slide, climbing mountain, and large float. We were glad to have found a home that had an available boat slip that we could use. Thunder Cove has all the fun extras, including the ping pong /pool table and although we brought our own games, the home was stocked with plenty of other choices. The home had a safety features on the sliding back door, that made us feel secure with our little ones. Every night we experienced the perfect setting overlooking the lake on the 2 outdoor decks. With our large family it was convenient having 2 refrigerators and we also enjoyed using the outdoor griddle to cook on. Our host was responsive to any questions we had. My only small suggestion would be to have more towel racks or hooks to hang up wet towels.

Perfect Cove
This spot has everything you need to be entertained. Great location, fun toys (indoor and out) and enough rooms to not get in each other’s way! We will definitely be back here!

The location of Charlie's lake home was wonderful. We were a little worried about boat traffic and being able to float/play around the dock, but that was not a problem at all. That is where we spent the majority of our time. The slide and high jump were great dock accessories.
When entering the kitchen it was smaller than what we were used to, however it had everything we needed. The lower level of house and outside decks made up for it. They were very spacious.
The two grills were very nice to have accessible for usage.
We enjoyed the closeness to the towns for any additional grocery or other needs. For the one time we contacted Charlie, he immediately responded. Our family had a very enjoyable, fun filled week.
We would highly recommend Charlie's home to others.

10th anniversary of family vacation
We always enjoy our family time at The Lake. This was our 10th year with 3 generations. Loved our place this year. Plenty of space for everyone to eat, sleep and relax. Spent our time on the dock swimming, fishing and tubing. Will definitely come back.

We loved this place! These pictures do not do it justice. It’s located in a great cove just a boat or car ride away from many places. We loved coconuts and Franky & Louies. The kids had a blast swimming at the dock. Charlie was super helpful and quick to respond. We will be back! Definitely recommend!

Nice family oriented vacation gem. Lots of room and entertainment options. Would suggest it’s more appropriate for ages 8+ We had 3 under 4yo and one very athletic 6yo who wanted to play ping pong, pool and climb the water tower but just couldn’t. (Water tower in need of repair)
Guys had fun trying out the Hibachi Grill!
Early check out time (10 am) required an early rise and extensive cleanup of premise to meet owners expectations (and get deposit back) which didn’t allow time for anything else. Dinner at nearby Franky & Louie’s was lots of fun (beach for kids, music for adults). Bridal Cave is pricey but was a fun activity on a rainy day. All in all we had a great time. Communication with Charlie was easy and he was very responsive. Book early!!

Great lake home. Plenty of room and plenty of amenities for an awesome stay. Pictures do not do this property and location justice. We had a great week with family and friends! The only recommendation would be dressers or shelves in closets for your clothes. Charlie was a great host with a beautiful home. Awesome location and beautiful cove.

Charlie has a fantastic home that is great for families with children of all ages (as well as the adults). The pictures on the listing don't do this home justice. It's located in a peaceful part of the lake and has all the accommodations you would need. Thanks for a great stay!

Want family fun, easy lake access? This is it!
The pictures and description understate what a great family oriented house and dock complex. Super for kids with the diving platform, slide and climbing wall. Multiple deck and “lounging” areas for the adults too. Couldn’t have a better trip to the Lake. Charlie B is a “Super-host.”

Thunder Cove Summer Vacation
This was the perfect location and property for a trip to the Ozarks in the summer. Everyone in our group agreed. The house is so comfortable and has such a fun atmosphere! Especially in the lower level! The set up was perfect. Very easy deck and dock access! We couldn't believe how convenient the Mystic Marina is next door. Perfect tubing/skiing coves all around. Also, there are so many bar/restaurants that are so close by boat. Nice to stop at Frank and Louie's, Coconuts for the kids to swim. (Especially for younger kids, like 3 years) And Bear Bottom was an easy drive! so fun! Everyone would highly recommend Charlie's vacation rental! thank you!

Family reunion at Thunder Cove
This was a great destination for our family reunion. We all had a great time. The home was beautiful and had a lot of outdoor amenities that met the vacation needs of our family from 18 months to 70 yrs old. We had family members that had traveled from Seattle, Denver and the Central Illinois area. All were impressed with the location and the home itself. The owner was easy to work with and very responsive. The 15 photos shown on this site does not do the property justice!

Beautiful home and setting! Close to the water for swimming and views galore. We took our family of 10 for a weeklong vacation and enjoyed every minute. The house had everything you could need and was very clean and modern. We will definitely be back!

Great week at the lake.
We had a great time . The dock worked out great for us and the 2 seadoos. All of us had a blast on the slide and the diving platform.I was surprised how many enjoyed the floating rock climbing mountain.Charlie was very easy to work with and everything was just as they said it would be. We received our deposit back in a very timely manner. It is a great location on the water and it was nice having the marina next door for ice and gas. We were a little worried that it might be too busy but that was not the case at all. I should mention the finished basement with the ping pong table. The kids loved it. There were some pretty heated games. We would definitely go back and stay again.
Thank's Charlie

Terrific home on the lake in a terrific cove
This property was as described in the listing. It slept 13 comfortably, 6 adults and 7 children. The kitchen, appliances, washer and dryer were all in good working order and clean. There are plenty of cooking supplies and dinner ware. (We used the plastic cups so we could go outside or on the boat). The decks are incredible, especially the top deck which is covered and provided some shade in the daytime, then beautiful sunsets at dusk. We were a little worried about the roughness of the water as we had been told that the Lake of the Ozarks can be very choppy, but this house is perfectly located near the end of a long cove that was wonderful for swimming, boating and tubing. The deck was a ton of fun for the kids. There is a nice flotation "circle" a little ways out that the adults enjoyed relaxing within. Nearby the location were some nice restaurants an convenience stores. We tended to make our own meals or take our rented boat (Adventure) to one of many close by restaurants on the lake. The owner is responsive and easy to work with.
