We had a wonderful stay! My only regret was we didn’t book a longer stay! My parents joined my husband and I and we all were very comfortable and content. I’d love to come back and stay again some day.

Great hospitality, location, friendly hosts
An excellent experience from start to finish. The property was spotless, which made it feel instantly comfortable and inviting. The location was incredibly convenient, just minutes from the lake, making it perfect for anyone looking to spend time on the water or enjoy the surrounding nature. The hosts were outstanding – friendly and attentive without being intrusive. They truly thought of everything! From fully stocked essentials to small touches like travel shampoo and conditioner , it felt like they anticipated our every need. I highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a peaceful and well-cared-for getaway near Mark Twain Lake.

The 'Peaceful Retreat" @MTL was everything as advertised AND more. Very clean, comfortable and well stocked with items that we had forgot to bring. Check-in and check-out was easy. The back deck is great for relaxing morning coffee and evening drinks. When travel takes us back to the north side of MTL we will be hoping the Peaceful Retreat @ MTL will be available.

Peaceful Reconnection!
Vicki quickly responded to each inquiry and was most kind. The property was spacious and well-stocked with most anything you might imagine. There is plenty of room for yard games, a huge deck overlooking the oversized pond, and an amazing corn crib fire pit! Our 7 and 8 year olds enjoyed trying to play badminton and it was fun feeding the fish in the pond too. Smores was definitely a highlight.

You'll feel right at home!
It's not too often that you book a VRBO simply as your vacation destination, but this is one of those places! We booked this home as a destination for our son's birthday weekend getaway. He wanted fishing, campfires and open spaces to play; and we got all that and more! Grandparents joined us for the weekend and there was more than enough room for sleeping arrangements, preparing and eating meals, and relaxing outdoors. The pond providing great fishing all weekend as well. The owners were kind and accommodating. There was plenty of firewood, good fishing tips, and the outdoor amenities were amazing! On the first day, our son said "We should come back here every year!" It was that good from check in to check out. Thank you Vicki for sharing your slice of Heaven with us and making us feel right at home!

This stay exceeded our expectations. There were thoughtful, handy little extras everywhere. We didn't want for anything. The highlight of my stay was I learned how to use an espresso machine! When we needed to communicate with the host, their response was always prompt and kind. We will definitely stay here again.

Awesome property!
This was one of the most well-stocked and well equipped rentals I have ever stayed in. I can’t think of anything else that I would have wanted to find in a home. We slept very well in the very, very comfy, cozy beds. Vicki answered any questions we had immediately, and is a very gracious host. The weather turned out much more cold and rainy than we had hoped, but the house was so wonderful that it really didn’t matter.

Beautiful home and property!!!
We had the BEST time. The owners thought of everything! They even left us a big tray full of snacks and TWO bottles of wine. There is a beautiful large pond out back with a dock to fish from. Off of the deck at the back door, there is a nice fire pit. They have firewood for you to use and metal sticks to roast marshmallows. My favorite part was the sunken bathtub in the master bathroom. The owners do live on the property but they leave you be and if you need anything, they respond immediately. HIGHLY recommend!!!
