You'll find a kayak on site at this family-friendly cottage. Thanks to the convenient nearby parking, you can either leave your vehicle behind and let your feet make short work of the 6-minute walk to Mark Twain National Forest, or easily tackle the 26-minute drive to Crown Valley Winery.

Spend a day at the nearby beach, relax by the outdoor pool, or sip a drink by the firepit of this cottage, which also features a BBQ grill. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi, TV, and DVD player.

As you settle into this 7-bedroom, 4-bathroom rental, you'll find a living room, air conditioning, a ceiling fan, and a desk. The kitchen is equipped with an oven, a stovetop, and a dishwasher, as well as an ice maker, a microwave, and cookware. And because there's a dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
