A Recreational Mecca! Views·Dock·Jet Ski Slips·Kayaks·Fire Pit·Pool Table

Our lakefront home is an escape from reality. A place to come and forget your troubles, spend true quality time with friends and family, soak up some sun, relax in the lake, and just have some good old-fashioned fun! Outside of Climax Springs, MO, we are located at the 52-mile marker on Coffman Bend with breathtaking views of the lake and its surroundings!

The moment you step through the front door you are welcomed into our cabin-like setting with rustic charm abound. The open floor plan offers plenty of room for everyone, yet provides a comfortable and cozy feel. With so many areas to enjoy, there’s room for everyone to find their favorite spot to relax, curl up with a good book, catch a movie, play games, and feel the rays of the sun or the evening breeze while gazing up at the open sky.

The entryway/living room boasts the warmth of a sky-lit ceiling and a straight-on view of the main channel. There’s plenty of seating surrounding a fireplace (with an electric insert) for chilly evenings along with a mounted flat-screen TV equipped with a Firestick and high-speed fiber for streaming.

The open kitchen provides everything you need to prepare a delicious home-cooked meal, including a cooktop, dishwasher, refrigerator-freezer, oven, microwave, and plenty of cookware and servingware. If you prefer outdoor grilling, you’ll find a gas grill on the deck for your convenience. The inside dining area has seating for eight plus there are plenty of outdoor seating options for dining on the deck, down below on the patio, or on the dock!

Wake up in the morning and enjoy a cup of coffee or a spot of tea with a fully equipped complimentary coffee bar! Take your morning joe and sip it on the back sunroom or step out onto the deck and gazebo areas to enjoy the early sun and peacefulness of the lake.

The primary bedroom suite is complete with a comfy king-size bed, ceiling fan, TV, and a large walk-in closet. The primary bath has a double walk-in shower and a roomy sink area for sharing. Two additional bedrooms are on the main level with restful queen beds, equipped with ceiling fans, televisions (w/Firesticks, plenty of closet space, and dresser drawers. They share the full guest bath w/walk-in shower, down the hallway.

Descending the open stairway, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find a space full of fun waiting for you! A beautiful stone/granite bar becomes the focal point with seating for 7 and is equipped with a side-by-side refrigerator, wine cooler, sink, and dishwasher…everything you need for evening entertaining! Challenge your friends to a game of pool, foosball, or sit down at the reversible poker/game table and choose your fun from a closet stocked with cards, games, and puzzles.

If movie-watching is what you prefer, sit down and kick back in the reclining sofas and stream your favorites on the 65” TV.

Guest bedroom number four is tucked back in the corner providing plenty of soothing sleep with one queen-size and one full-size bed. The room includes a ceiling fan, TV w/Firestick, dresser, and a small closet. Across from the bedroom, guests will find a full bath with a beautiful, tiled walk-in shower. In between, a laundry room is provided for your convenience.

The backyard is yet another entertainment space all its own! We offer a large patio with a seating area and chiminea, a relaxing water fountain, a picnic table, a porch swing, five stackable lounge chairs, a firepit area with 6 chairs, outdoor ping pong, and plenty of space for yard games.

Just a few steps down the ramp, you’ll find what may be THE best part of your stay! A playground for fishermen, swimmers, kayakers, and sunbathers alike! This newly purchased 2100+ square foot cement dock boasts a jump platform (no diving please), a large sundeck with zero-entry steps to the water, plenty of comfy seating, two high-top tables, a bar area, and 11 high-top chairs, a high-velocity fan, and Bluetooth speakers! ) We offer a double slip with room for two jet skis, as well as two kayaks and two paddleboards for your use. (Sorry, we cannot accommodate boats). Bring your favorite floaties and get ready to enjoy a day on the lake! A variety of life jacket sizes are available.

There’s not much we don’t have for enjoyment right here on the property, but if you want to get out and about, it’s safe to take a walk down the roads to nearby neighborhoods. There’s plentiful wildlife residing in the Ozarks. Chances are you’ll see deer, bald eagles, and the occasional armadillo nosing around, along with many other forest and lake-loving creatures. There’s a whole lotta fun waiting out on the lake with plenty of nearby bars/restaurants that offer free music, karaoke, and delicious food and drink. Come back after a day on the water, gather around a fire, and take time to gaze up at the open sky, it’s an amazing site!

If you want to take a day trip, you are approximately 45 minutes from the Osage Beach and Camdenton areas where there's a vast variety of restaurants, shopping, gift shops, wineries, outdoor concerts, golfing, and sightseeing.

Located on ‘the quiet side’, we hope that you’ll agree that the laid back, peaceful, easy feelin’ you get while staying here will bring you back year after year!

Come enjoy the views and stay awhile at The James Gang Lake Hideaway!

Great family vacation!
We stayed with our 3 adult children and all had a great time. The house was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to prepare meals. I especially enjoyed the coffee bar. And the basement was great for hanging out together whether playing games, cards, or pool, or watching movies. At night, we made smores at the outdoor firepit. The dock was a favorite - fishing, swimming, paddle boards, and kayaks; plus a bar and refrigerator, with plenty of seating for everyone. Joy was always very responsive as I was planning and packing for our trip, as well as during our stay. The neighbors were also friendly and helpful.

Amazing Stay: Forever Memories Made!
This was the best stay at the lake we have ever had. We felt welcomed and thought of as soon as we walked through the door. Joy and Don thought of everything and their intent to make you feel at home was palpable the entire stay. This home has everything you need to have an amazing time. We enjoyed home cooked meals, bonfires, backyard games, basement games, morning coffee and endless fun in the sun on the best dock that was also so thoughtfully set up. We boated, fished, paddle boarded, kayaked and floated…. We could have stayed for weeks and not run out of things to do. The owners are so kind, warm and responsive. They want you to have the best time possible! The home is so well kept, spotless and well stocked. Our family had 3 generations on this trip and we all had a blast and made memories to last a lifetime. Thank you for an amazing stay!

Amazing Weekend with Something for Everyone!
First class property with first class hosts. Each summer we do a sister’s weekend where we have three personalities to satisfy. These owners have thought of it all. They care about their home and want the best experience possible for their guests and we couldn’t be more pleased. Joy and Don’s details are accurate so believe the property information AND then add in the emotional experience of a beautifully groomed property, excellent dock and water locale, active and relaxing experiences and lovely hosts. Friendly, clear, and timely communication too. Super clean. Super tastefully decorated. Clear expectations outlined. Plus Endless activities (we needed a week to enjoy it all). We hated to leave.

Family already wants to re-book for next year
Well maintained and updated property. Plenty of amenities to keep us entertained. The lake has been our family vacation for years and this was the first time that the kitchen had good equipment to prepare meals. We brought many items, knives, pots, pans etc and they had everything you would need. The dock are was great. We spent most of our days there with plenty of activities. Easy in/out access to water and in a quiet cove so we could enjoy the water. They had a fridge in dock are which was great, we stocked it everyday so we did not have to go back up to house to get our drinks and snacks. The basement was full of full thing sto do. Pool table, which I was champ. Fooseball and a game table which we used every night. It was a little tight when we sat down to eat for 8 but we made it work. We even found the little gas/grocery store near by to have what we needed. Their hot prepared foods we fantastic. We are looking forward to booking again next year!!!!!!!!!!

Loved that we picked this place for our family lake trip! We have a larger family and this home had plenty of space for everyone! Great location on the main channel but wasn’t too choppy even on a busier weekend. The owners have really thought of everything to make your experience enjoyable and convenient!
