This was a great place for us to stay, especially since we brought our boat and could keep it right at the house. The home is located in a fairly central location on the lake, so it was easy to navigate to any restaurants or areas we wanted to get to.

We were in Lake Ozark for a construction job and found the Deep Woods Cabin in Barnett, MO. What we hoped for was a place with washer/dryer, comfortable beds, WiFi, and a quiet location that we could go to after a long day on the job site. What we got was so much more. The cabin is located on a beautiful stretch of wooded property. Our dog loved getting back to the cabin for frisbee and a walk down the gravel easement. The cabin has comfortable seating and beds and has a nice screened in porch where we would eat dinner and relax. Since we were there for a job, we did not get a chance to use the grills, but the place has several grills and a fire pit for gathering. The best part was that, like many construction jobs, the timeline changes and we needed to extend our stay a few times. The customer support team and Tia, were very helpful getting our stay extended until the job was done ( huge because moving when on a job is not easy!) We definitely will return for a noon work trip since we live a few hours away and love to bass fish at the lake without the hassle of the crowds. Thank you to the Lakecation team for being so responsive and welcoming!
