Lake Home, near HaHa Tonka State Park, Free Kayaking & Outdoor Pavilion Gameroom

The Norton House sits right on the Lake with a breathtaking view of the Big Niangua arm and features wood floors and a newly renovated kitchen with granite countertops, flat screen televisions and free wi-fi. There are 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths plus two additional queen roll-out sofas. All 3 bedrooms have queen beds.

Enjoy the lakeside picnic grounds and kayaking, relax on the patio and watch the boating activity, grill your supper or eat out, then let the sound of nature lull you to sleep at night.

The kitchen is well equipped with fridge, range, microwave, dishwasher and side bar for your favorite beverages. Enjoy dinners inside in the dining area or outside on the patio so you don't miss the beautiful weather and wildlife! Or, there are several restaurants nearby from casual to fine dining. There is also a big green egg and and offset smoker grill if you like to BBQ. There is a nice, private firepit just outside the front door for your enjoyment.

The Norton House is located west of Camdenton right where the Big Niangua tributary changes from a river to the Lake of the Ozarks. You'll be 'lured' to the Lake where the fishing is amazing for catfish, bass, crappie and walleye. Or play golf at either of two courses, Lake Valley Country club or Old Kinderhook (a Tom Weiskoph signature course).

One of the best features of this property and its sister rental, The Chardonel House, is the easy access to the Lake of the Ozarks. The lakeside picnic grounds is a short walk down the hill from the house or you can drive down the concrete driveway to the park.

About a hundred yards up the driveway from the house is an open-aired pavilion clubhouse with games to enjoy or just sit and take in the lake view.

You have free access to 4 kayaks, singles or doubles, for the length of your stay (a $100.00 value) and can pack a nice picnic lunch and your favorite beverages to enjoy while leisurely paddling the Niangua! Please note that in early spring the Lake water level is drawn down about 5 feet to make ready for the spring rains but you can still launch the kayaks from our dock in the shallower water.

No matter what your perception of a perfect vacation is, you won't be disappointed with the relaxation and serene feeling you will have when you leave this refreshing property!

This was our second family vacation at the lake house. Fantastic area of the lake. Quiet cove for swimming, great spot to explore the river area by paddle board. The clubhouse is perfect for the grandkids who have outgrown gathering in one living room area,

Lake living fun!
We were in town for our son’s 12u baseball World Series at Ballpark Nationals @ the lakes of the Ozarks. This was the absolute perfect property! It was conveniently located near the ball park, state park and having usage of paddle boards and kayaks made it extra for evening paddles to the cave about a 20 mins paddle. The cabin was clean and spacious and provided all the necessities needed as far as kitchen supplies. I would recommend any teams or families attending the WS there to call the owners and see if you can rent the 2 other properties on the grounds. It was be great for a team group or even a family reunion. Lastly, we brought our boat for fishing and we were able to dock it there during our time. They had a nice fire pit for chill evenings and picnic tables down the hill by the dock and activity area. If we are to return again next year we will be reaching out to the owner Barb to book again!!!

The Norton House was such a joy. The view from the deck is amazing. If your desire for a getaway is a clean and very comfortable home with a view of the lake, you can't beat this place. We have stayed in Barb and Ward's rentals for the last 7-8 years and have never been disappointed. Everything you need to enjoy the peace and quiet.

Such a amazing beautiful place, very clean, kayaking was amazing have never done that before. Had a couple questions and they were very quick to respond. No other houses close by it was very peaceful, went to onyx cave from the book on kayaks. Also went to the castle at haha tonka park that was neat. If your looking to have a good time but be able to relax also this is the place. Promise you wont regret it.

This was our first time to Lake of the Ozarks, and we had a great time ! The home was clean and had a beautiful view of the lake. We saw several deer and lots of birds, including a Bald Eagle! The kids really enjoyed the games in the clubhouse, kayaking, and basketball. We loved the fact that the home was a close drive to Ha Ha Tonka state park, Bridal Cave, and waterfront restaurants. Thanks for a great experience! We are excited to visit again ! Ashley

This was our 8th year visiting the Norton House. It is such a magical place with all the space you could need for a group of friends. Plenty of bathrooms, a nice big kitchen, dining, and living area. The outdoor space is perfect, with the fire pits at the house and down by the lake. It is very serene and peaceful. The hosts are great and responsive. We had a wonderful time as usual!

Kayaking fun at the Norton House
Kayaking was the very best. Lake was quiet. The beds were comfy. Information provided was great. We would have liked to know more about the elevation of the area as we both have bad knees. Beautiful place. Wonderful views. Saw the sunset from the patio one night and one night from the deck. Got to see the cave and the sunrise while kayaking. The kayaks were very dirty and we did spend quite a bit of time clearing the one we used. It would have been nice to have had that done for us. Overall a wonderful stay.

Quick Getaway With Friends
We had a great time at the Norton house. Our original purpose for coming to the lake was for a concert at the Ozark Amphitheater. When I saw kayaks were included in the stay I knew this was the place for our group as we are avid yakers. Accommodations were very clean and comfortable. The location was perfect. Kayaking to the Ha Ha Tonka spring and onyx cave (about 6 Mile round trip) kept us busy before the concert. Our only complaint is not being able to stay longer! We hope to return soon. Thanks Barb and Ward for your hospitality.

August heat
The Norton cabin exceeded my expectations. You walk in and the aroma of cedar envelopes you. The decor and furniture are all comfortable. The kitchen had almost everything we needed, although I did have to sharpen the kitchen knives as they were beyond dull. We made use of both the BGE for an amazing brisket and the offset smoker for pork belly burnt ends. The use of the clubhouse was fun just wished the dock was closer. The water at the dock was not the best for swimming, it was very hot and slimy. We decided to go swim at ha ha tonka instead. Not the owners fault I know the weather has been very hot, but if your used to running off the dock and jumping in the water, probably not the best location for that. Otherwise we made the best of our trip and look forward to coming back to the lake soon.

Summer Vacation
Cannot express how amazing this property was and the overall hospitality from the owners to bring us water and ensure all was well after a nightly storm created a loss of power for a few hours. I work in healthcare...to say the least I am a "germ freak" and this place was immaculate! The views and the overall ammenties are well worth the spend. If you are looking for a quiet place, full of beautiful million dollar views of the lake...book this house. We plan to retun next year and will adjust our dates if needed to ensure this properties availability! Thanks again to the owners for being there and checking in on us! You both are amazingly!

Barb and Ward were fantastic communicators answering all questions about property, things to do and accommodating our vacation ideas. We hauled our boat from MI and they helped us with everything needed. The house was perfect for our family. We loved the club house, used the kayaks every day, enjoyed campfires, dinners on the picnic tables, food on the grill, breakfast on the deck overlooking the lake. Our adult children and 2 grandchildren made the drive and were very glad they did! We stayed at The Norton House and highly recommend you do too!

Perfect place to meet family
We were looking for a respite that could accommodate 7 and two dogs (with permission) and had great lake access and amenities. This rental was absolutely perfect. The kitchen is well equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed floating on the lake, paddleboarding, kayaking, paddleboating, and visiting the cave. Nearby Ha Ha Tonka State Park was fascinating. We also enjoyed Bridal Cavern and Stark Cavern. The hosts were wonderful to work with. I would easily recommend this gem of a getaway to anyone looking to go to the area.

The Perfect fit
This was simply the perfect fit for our family. The home had all the amenities you would expect to find at your own house, and every time we returned it felt like coming home. The owner was a delight to deal with and was quick to respond to any of the questions that we had prior to our arrival. Once there, we found everything just the way it was presented and there were no surprises. And the setting, wow! You are situated on a bluff at the edge of the Lake of the Ozarks where you can sit on beautiful deck furniture and watch the world float away. The kids even took time to check out the kayaks and paddle board. Just the peaceful getaway we were hoping for. If I have the opportunity to be back in the area again you can be sure this will be our place to stay.
