Fun times at the lake!!

We loved the dock being able to walk directly from the house to the dock. We fished and paddled boarded around. The hot tub was awesome. Basically we were outside and in water from the lake to the outdoor shower. We also visited haha tonka state park for a hike, checked out the castle. Great time!

We are happy you were able to invite your extended family at the last minute to your vacation! We are always happy to accommodate early check-ins when we can and it seemed to work out well with your parents arriving several hours prior to your arrival. Thank you for the great communication so we could address your issues immediately. Apologies again about the electric issues in the bedroom on your first night. At times there are issues out of our control and I am glad we were able to get an electrician there by 1pm after speaking with you. Glad you enjoyed your birthday cake we left. It is always fun to leave our guests something in the house, especially if they are celebrating a special occasion. -John & Kim Powell

Beautiful views with all the comforts of home

Our stay at the Powell Lakehouse was exactly what I had wanted - clean, plenty of water activities, beautiful views, places to relax and enjoy the views, with no need to leave. Their home had many nice, little extras as well and the owners were friendly and professional. We look forward to our next visit!

Glad you enjoyed your stay and we made it work to side tie your fishing boat to the dock for the week. The water is not as rough during the middle of the week, but as you know the weekends can get a bit rocky. Come back and see us again soon!

The pictures don’t do this place justice. It is so clean and literally has any amenity you can think of. We definitely over packed for this trip! It’s such a cute place, right off the water, and in a great community where it was fun to walk around and see all the wildlife and views. The water in the area was pretty rough so for those with sensitive motion sickness, it may be a challenge but there is lots of seating on land to still enjoy the lake scene.

Wonderful place for a getaway

The owners are extremely friendly and helpful and the property was very clean and had nearly all the necessary amenities. The fireplace worked nicely, the kitchen was very usable and the living areas were comfortable with a great view of the lake. The highlight was the hot tub that we used to soak under the stars, and in the middle of winter. I can't recommend this place enough.

My wife and I stayed at the Powell house and it checked off all the boxes: immediate access to water, hot tub, outdoor grill, fire pit, very comfortable bed, and even spa robes. The living room has a very comfy couch and reclining chair, and when we weren't lounging and reading outside, we did so here in complete view of the lake. We would return in a heartbeat, and recommend this property for anyone wanting a relaxing lake experience.

Cozy and peaceful place to spend the holidays. Perfectly set up for a family of 3-5.

The cabin was clean and tastefully decorated. It has a beautiful view of the lake and in winter is peaceful and quiet. All the furniture was comfortable and the house had everything we needed. The owners were very helpful as well when we needed stuff. Our kid lived the Wii and we enjoyed watching the lake, sitting by the fire, and reading our books. We really enjoyed our time here and could definitely imagine coming back!

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and Happy New Year! I enjoyed talking with you and your family. So glad you were able to enjoy the house during the off season. I knew Santa would find you on Christmas Eve to deliver the presents underneath the tree. Thank you for keeping us informed of your needs during your stay. We appreciate the feedback. Winter provides a spectacular view of the Lake. I'm sure it helped that the weather was in the 50s during the day. HaHa Tonka and Bridal Cave are great places to visit any time of the year. We look forward to your return in the future. Have a safe drive home! Kim & John Powell

Relaxing Get Away!

We enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit, went to Osage Beach and Ha ha Tonka State Park. We fished but the water was still cold so we only caught a few. It was nice to just relax on the dock too. The living room was so cozy and the view of the lake is awesome. The house had everything we needed. Living on lake time was an awesome break.

Glad you were able to feel at home at Powell Lakehouse. Ha Ha Tonka State Park is our favorite place to hike, with a range of hiking trails from easy paved trails under a half mile to more demanding longer hikes into the Ozarks. All the trails have a great view and the the Castle Ruins are a must see with a breathtaking vista. The weather seemed to be mild and I am glad to hear you enjoyed the outdoor firepit, and fishing off the dock. We just installed a new sound bar on the living room TV, and makes movie watching and lake viewing a cozy place to hang out. Come back anytime! -John & KIM POWELL

About the host

Hosted by Kim Powell

We met in 1984 on a cruise to the Mexican Riviera as teenagers, and 30 years later we are reunited. We both love the water and the ocean. John is a retired deputy and Kim is an art teacher. We hope you enjoy our home as much as we do. It is our fairy tale ending and you are a part of our story.

Why they chose this property

Because of the location on the property, you are right next to the water. There are great views and loads of windows in this quaint lake cottage. Kim was a waitress at Tan Tar A, Chief's, and Shooter's 21 when she was in college. John has always lived in Orange County CA near the ocean all his life. Living near the water is a must for this couple. Enjoy your stay!

What makes this property unique

Everything is new at this Lakehouse! The previous owner gutted the place and started fresh inside. In 2014, we added a garage and guesthouse (where we stay) on the property. New landscaping throughout the whole property in 2018. Brand new concrete dock! Privacy fence and many outdoor sitting areas. You are going to love our outdoor spaces. We do.
