TALK?ABOUT?EATING... In addition to a stocked kitchen with all the utensils to cook pancakes on the gas-oven built-in griddle to a gas bbq grill located on the covered pavillion facing the lake, you’ll have a hard time choosing where to eat your meals. There are 2 firepit areas to roast those hot dogs or have a fish fry...AND, if cooking is not your thing, just WALK across the street to the famous, Pizza Port, celebrating its 30th year in business. An easy walk away, you’ll find “Crooked Hook Deli” inside Carl’s Bait Store and can order up some home-made deli sandwiches (?picnic-style) This bait store has thought of just about of the most organized bait selections you'll ever see!!

The love and appreciation for Vintage Cars is an common topic in Deb & Brad’s lives, as Brad is a lifetime gearhead. Since Deb was born in Illinois in 1957, she has her eyes on an older model and until they find the perfect fixer-upper’ the antique hood, photos and rusty relics will have to do. This bedroom has an ironing board, iron, laundry basket, a window fan to get that fresh air in and a large ceiling fan to move the night air! The large full bath across the hall is a step away and comes stocked with the sundries you’ll need for a tub or a quick shower!

The Indiana (Laundry Room)?is also a tribute to the couples love of gardening, and Indiana life came with a very large garden and the largest crop of 18 year old just the sound of the word, makes our mouths water for it!
The OZARKS is the theme for the Living Room/Dining Room combo as Deb went to College at Missouri State and had a design firm in Springfield, MO for 18 years. The “Show-ME” State opened her eyes to the beauty of water and trees and the couple both feel that this VENUE-Stay! is a combination of all the places they have lived, and loved...
