About this house rental

This property was completely updated and it shows! Beautiful lake views and the perfect balance of natural beauty and close proximity to attractions and shopping while avoiding the heavy traffic and bustle of the tourist centers. Located in a quiet, secluded community in Needle's Eye Point, this is the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway with the family! The house offers an open floor plan ideal for family gatherings and entertaining. The main living space includes a huge living area which opens up to the kitchen and dining areas surrounded by large, floor to ceiling, picturesque windows and panoramic lake views. Enjoy your morning coffee on the expansive, partially covered deck which runs the length of the house or enjoy the sunsets around the propane firepit. Comfortable deck seating is located throughout around both the firepit as well as the outdoor, extendable dining table. The covered area can be beautifully lit in the evenings with decorative lighting. A propane grill is also available for use with additional tanks as needed. The kitchen is fully updated with stainless steel appliances, induction stove, dishwasher, granite countertops and additional seating around the kitchen island. We stock all basic kitchen necessities such as dishware, glassware, cookware, and utensils. There is a coffee maker and grinder on the kitchen counter as well as a blender, crockpot and mixer in the cabinets. Please be mindful that the house is on a septic system and all kitchen waste should either be disposed of in the garbage disposal side of the sink or in the waste. The large, lake facing primary bedroom is very spacious with a King bed, walk-in closet, and private bathroom. This bedroom offers a secondary living space with a large entertainment center, loveseat and work desk. The second bedroom is also lake facing with a King bed. The third bedroom is the perfect retreat for the children with two bunk beds and an additional twin trundle mattress underneath! Perfect sleeping arrangement for two families looking for a weekend getaway! If you are looking to spend time on the water during your stay, please inquire with the nearby marinas regarding boat rental availability or, if you are bringing your own boat, slip availability. These do tend to fill up quickly, so please reserve with as much advance notice as you are able. If you are unable to secure slip rental, there is a public boat launch just a few miles away across the 39 bridge on the west side with space to park your boat on-site, if needed. Unfortunately, due to local requirements, all docks on Needle's Eye are private docks and the owners are unable to rent these to guests. Due to tight turns and steep ditches around the driveway, we highly recommend dropping your boat and/or trailer off at the marina prior to your arrival at the house. It can be very difficult to navigate a trailer out of the drive without causing damage to your trailer or nearby property! Although there is plenty to do on the water, we are thrilled that there are many other nearby attractions just a short distance away! Some of our favorites include Roaring River State Park for some great hiking and trout fishing, Dogwood Canyon Park (great hiking, cycling, fishing, and scenery - there are also tram and segway tours available), day trip to downtown Eureka Springs, AR (Quaint town with shopping/dining just 45 minutes away), Top of the Rock - just south of Branson and offers golf cart tours of Lost Canyon Park, nearby cave adventures such as Onyx Caves or take a daytrip to see the endless attractions in downtown Branson! We hope you enjoy your stay with us! Please feel free to contact us with any additional questions!

The house was as expected. We even added on an extra day to Sri e a little earlier and an accommodation was made. There was a small hiccup with the access code but it was immediately fixed.

My family and I LOVED our stay at the Owl's Nest. Its open floor plan with high ceilings and big windows made it feel spacious, homey, and restful. We loved sitting out on the deck and looking at the lake. The kitchen was well-stocked. The mattresses were super comfortable (including the bunk beds!). The rooms were lovely. There were plenty of linens and all the needed shower supplies were stocked. Stacy was a great host and we will definitely try to stay again next year. We never wanted to leave!

We so enjoyed our stay at the owls nest! Beautiful view, very clean and comfortable house. Plenty of room. There are 5 of us, but beds for more if you have more. Friendly easy to communicate with owner. The marina was very nice and located about 15 minute drive but really super easy to get to. We did have a challenge though, as other reviewers have said with the driveway situation. Thank goodness we only had to do it one time as we left boat and trailer at the marina starting the morning of our first full day. We arrived late in the evening with our long bed truck and boat and it was very difficult to get into the pull- through drive. There is plenty of parking in the back of the house as the listing states and you can pull through but because of the sharp turn needed to get out it’s really hard to do with any sort of trailer. If at all possible drop your boat before arriving to property. Also don’t miss the turn for the driveway or you’ll be backing that trailer a long way bc there is no turn around on the the street! Lol Loved this house and will most likely book again

Lovely deck

Lovingly cared for property with a sweeping view of the lake. The drive out to the end of the peninsula was picturesque and interesting. Home is thoughtfully decorated and supplied with the things that a family would enjoy. The large master bedroom, closet and bathroom was awkward for our group of 8 adults, but should be just the spot for parents needing a room of respite.
