COVE RETREAT LAKEFRONT HOT TUB OUTSIDE BAR PRV DOCK LOCATION FIRE PIT & MORE!!

🚨 Your Lake Ozark Cove Retreat Awaits! 🚨

🏖️ Summer Fun, Fall Getaways & Winter Escapes — designed for unforgettable memories with family and friends (sleeps 16+ comfortably).

✨ Prime dates are OPEN!
We currently have availability in May and June—arguably the most beautiful and desirable time to experience the lake. This is when everything comes alive… trees blooming, water warming, and sunshine stretching longer into the evening. It’s peaceful, uncrowded, and absolutely magical.

This is your chance to experience one of the most sought-after locations on the lake before peak season fills up. Once guests discover Cove Retreat, they return year after year—and these dates go quickly.



🌞 Summer at Cove Retreat – Where the Lake Life Happens

Wake up to calm water and quiet mornings with coffee on the deck…
Spend your days floating in your private cove where the water is peaceful, safe, and perfect for all ages…
Then wind down with laughter, music, and sunsets that reflect across the water like glass.

At Cove Retreat, every summer day feels like a Saturday—no schedules, no rush… just lake time, laughter, and making memories from morning to night.

The property blends classic lake life with a relaxed beach-inspired feel—palm greenery swaying in the breeze, soft outdoor lighting, and laid-back spaces that make you feel like you’ve stepped into your own private escape.

✔ Float all day in a calm, protected cove
✔ 2 Paddle boards, paddle boat, or relax on the Lily pad
✔ Watch your favorite games at the outdoor bar with a lake view
✔ End the night in the hot tub under the stars

🌊 Guests often tell us: “We planned to go explore… but never left the house.”

And if you do want to explore—you’re just minutes from boating, golfing, swimming, waterfront dining, shopping, caves, state parks, and family attractions.



🎆 July 4th Fireworks – A Front-Row Experience

One of Cove Retreat’s most unforgettable perks.

Fireworks are launched right at the end of the cove—giving you a front-row view from your private dock. No crowds. No traffic. No stress.

Want the full lake experience? Rent a boat and float to the mouth of the cove where boats gather and watch the show from the water.

✨ Already booked for this year? Ask us about availability for next year’s celebration!



🍁 Fall & Thanksgiving – Cozy, Beautiful, and Unforgettable

Fall at the lake is a hidden gem—crisp air, vibrant colors, and peaceful surroundings.

✔ Coffee (drip + 2 Keurigs) on the deck wrapped in a blanket
✔ Football at the outdoor bar
✔ Game nights in the game room or enjoy your favorite shows or games on any of the 13 TVs throughout the home
✔ Thanksgiving dinner by the fireplace

🦃 The perfect setting to slow down, reconnect, and create meaningful traditions.

Extremely clean, lots of amenities provided and everything you could need in the kitchen, and grills outside. Absolutely beautiful views, every deck has a fire table and tons of seating, including the large dock, the firepit outside and the outside (covered) bar. HIGHLY recommend and we will definitely be booking this again!!

Perfect place for our annual lake stay. We had 5 families with small and adult kids all in one house and had plenty of room for fun, and also some privacy if we needed it! Big dock with everything we needed to hang out from sun up to sun down! The hosts had the best stocked cabinets we've ever had, and they were very responsive and helpful through the whole process and even during our stay :) This is the first time on the lake in over 20 years that none of us felt the need to leave to go have fun! We would definitely stay again, and hopefully soon!

Great place for family fun

Property was just as shown in pictures. So much room inside and outside for a large group. This property has everything you need for a lake trip including a dock for your boat. There are so many outside spaces and when you’re ready to come inside there are tvs everywhere with all the service you’d want. We’ve never stayed at such a well stocked property from dishes to towels and well any small thing you may have forgotten to pack. Their check out process is easy. We had no surprises as everything was clearly said in the listing. Enjoy!!

Picture Perfect Stay

My family loved our stay at Cove Retreat! The home is absolutely beautiful and has anything and everything you could possibly want or need. We fished, kayaked, tubed, skied, cruised the lake and enjoyed each other’s company on the main deck every morning and night. The blackstone was so great to have for cooking big breakfasts and the amount of water toys and accessories would give Target a run for their money. Beds are comfy. Linens and supplies are abundant. Communication with the owners was the best I’d ever had with a rental. I would not hesitate to stay here again and hope we make it back someday. Thanks Jill and Randy! My family made memories for a lifetime.

Perfect Lake Vacation House

This house had everything needed to have a great time. The house and dock are in a perfect convenient location, right across from 2 gas docks with places to rent boats and jet skis. We used all the community areas several times, and the downstairs outside bar makes a perfect place for a poker game or just hanging out! The black stone and grill work great! The stereo system with Sirius at all the outdoor areas was a definite plus. I hope to stay here again soon!
