Food scene

We love this place - they try to local source as much of their menu as possible and everything we have ever had there is delicious. It's about 40 minutes away from our place but well worth the scenic drive through the Ozark foothills.

Fill your gas tank and satisfy your sweet tooth in one stop. The fun country gas station about 8 miles from our location is the perfect place to do both. Giant ice cream cones in Vanilla, Chocolate or be daring and try a twist of both flavors!!

Rent a boat and cruise the lake - you won't be disappointed. This marina is owned by a local family who all work there so you know they take pride in making sure everyone is well taken care of and having fun. Enjoy a pizza with a waterfront view before you take your boat out! The marina is literally 3 minutes by water from our cove and we visit there often. Well worth the 45 minute drive by land around the lake to get there.

City advice

What to pack

Bring your water shoes and float toys

Lake is great for swimming and lounging the day away - water is clear and refreshing on a hot summer day. Pack your suits and water footwear - it's a lake - there will be the occasional rock on the shoreline!
