Lakes, boats, sunsets, swimming, wakeboarding and more. When we found Lake of the Ozarks, it was love at first sight! As business owners and life long entrepreneurs, we decided to dive in - literally. Our love for the lake blended well with our skills in property management, construction, event planning and experience design. The result serves vacation home owners and guests alike. Buck Creek Cottage is our FIRST vacation rental. Our family renovated the property and created a home we would enjoy to ensure families - big and small - would come to love the lake!

Location, location, location! We were a small group - five of us so we had plenty of room to spread out. It can easily sleep 8 with three sharing beds, and multiple rooms and outdoor space to spread out. The dock is lovely, and room for slip if you're bringing a boat. We rented a beautiful tri-toon from Nick at Lake of the Ozarks Boat Rentals, located in the next cove, who dropped off and picked up the boat rental at no extra charge. For this reason, we were not at the house very much. Owner was easy to communicate with and we will definitely be back!

We had a great time, it was peaceful and quiet. The house was good, typical cheap flip house with a lot of oddities but the setting was great and the hot tub was a hit with the family

The house was lovely with all the amenities needed for a good weekend. Having access to the dock and the associated items was awesome. Would go back again!
