Come and play at Escape 2 the Lake!

A great get-away for the family, couples weekend, girls weekend, fishing trip, or just a place to relax and get away from it all. A cozy, remodeled lakefront 2-bedroom home in a friendly cove. Enjoy a bright sunroom, large deck, 2-well dock, and PWC lift. This lakefront home is literally just a dozen feet from the lake, with an expansive lake view, great fishing and swimming, and a variety of toys: paddle boat, standing paddleboard, and kayaks. Use our fully equipped kitchen and large gas grill to feed your crew. Sleep up to nine people with 1 king and 1 queen-size bed each in their own bedroom and a fold-out couch and bunk beds (twin on top, full on bottom) in the sunroom. Also, enjoy board games or flat-screen TV with streaming services and a DVD library. There is also a small TV with children's DVDs in the sunroom. A washer and dryer are also available during the summer months.
This home has provided lake fun for generations. You can start building your memories here today. We are located at Mile Marker 45. Gas and groceries are available by water at Mimosa Beach Marina, just across the channel. We are just ten minutes from Laurie, Missouri where gas and groceries are available by land. If you’re interested in shopping or tourist activities, we are 45 minutes from Osage Beach with go-carts, helicopter rides, outlet malls, and numerous restaurants. Being at Mile Marker 45 is great if you have a smaller boat, the boats and waves aren’t as big on this part of the lake as it is closer to the dam. We are also near a couple of great lakeside restaurants: Bear Bottoms with a waterslide and live music and Red Fox who has the best margaritas on the lake. We’ve been enjoying the lake from this location for years! Come be our guest!

(Just in case you missed the house rules we request No pets please and no smoking in the house).

Relaxing week at the Lake
We had a wonderful, relaxing week at the lake. Pleasantly surprised at how quiet our little cove was. Water was lovely-very warm. We spent a lot of time kayaking and floating on tubes, which hosts provided. Excellent communication throughout. We had the pleasure of meeting Steve while we were there. Property was perfect for the 4 of us. Great view from deck. Would highly recommend!

Great house for a long weekend at the lake!
We really enjoyed our stay! House is clean and well stocked. The kids LOVED the paddle board, pedal boat, and kayaks. The cove is quiet and perfect for swimming and paddling. The deck is great for BBQing in the evenings and the view is great! The house was easy to find and access. It is close to the water without a ton of stairs which is nice for the little ones. We would definitely stay here again.

First rental
This was the first time we have rented a house for a vacation. The house was very clean, well organized and stocked. The hosts were great. They were there and greated us when we arrived, answered any questions we had and were available if we needed anything. We would definitely consider staying there again, and will recommend it to others.

The house was amazing. The host was great! Our kids really enjoyed the lake and the things they offered like a paddle boat and some kayaks. We did rent a boat and explored the huge lake one day but overall they wanted to be at the house.

Relaxing cabin!
This was the perfect cabin for a nice, relaxing stay! The house was clean, cove was super quiet despite being right on the water, and the views from the deck were amazing. Fishing from the dock was relaxing and the kids each caught their first (and second, and third) fish ever! Steve is super friendly and considerate of the guests, but also fits right in if you invite him to hang out. ☺️ Loved the place and the stay!!

Great place for kids!
We took our summer vacation here for the first time at the Lake of the Ozarks. This cabin was perfect for us! All of us loved the water toys the cabin provided and swimming by the dock. We have two littles that are almost 4 and 6 years old. I was a little anxious about the depth of the water near the dock, but as long as they had their life jackets on, they were perfectly fine! The host is very friendly and was great with answering any questions. Their cabin was very well stocked too, didn't need to bring half of things I packed! Such as meat thermometer, tin foil, batteries, even a large stock pot for our annual vacation crab boil! The kids loved the porch area with their own space of a little TV, DVDs and bunkbeds! The host also painted many rocks for the kids to find and was able to keep one! They loved being able to do that! We also visited a nearby cave, winery and Landshark Bar and grill. All was about 30+ minutes, but we still enjoyed our cabin and location enough to be okay with the longer drive to the activities! We hope to be back soon someday!

Perfect for small family
We enjoyed our stay at Escape2. The owners were friendly and communicative and the house suited our needs very well. We especially enjoyed the paddle boat and kayaks as well as the baby pool which was perfect for my 8-month old grandson. Recommend stocking up on more bath tissue as we ran out before our stay was over which caused some hassle having to share the last roll between two bathrooms. Otherwise everything was great.
