This is a truly amazing property in a scenic area of mid-Missouri. It is easy to reach and private when you're there.
This was our family's second stay at Big Oak Lodge and we're already planning our next one. The property is beautiful, tons of stuff to do for everyone, and the owners have thought of all the details. Our family loves it.
Hi, the family really enjoyed the privacy, the lake and outdoor areas. Well kept property.
Was a seamless rental process from start to finish. Randy & Carol easy to reach during planning and the stay. They meet you at the house upon arrival and their pride in their place is obvious! After a brief orientation, off they went and we promptly hopped into the pool. And pretty much never left it. The heater and the cover kept it toasty so our 3-year old guest and her (very pregnant) mom were in it almost every day. (We were too.) Kitchen supplied well- we did turkey and dressing one night and all we had to add was a throwaway roasting pan and a baster to the supplies. We are a cooking family and the only thing I would bring next time would be a couple of additional cutting boards. The grocery store in Belle was good for basics-meat, milk, produce, dairy, etc. We adored the outdoor kitchen, and cooked and ate all the rest of our dinners out there while watching the amazing sunsets. One chilly night, we followed a sunset swim (admiring the pool light show) with ice cream in front of the fireplace in the pool house. Enjoyed the fire pit for s'mores another night. The 3-yr old caught her first fish, and several others were caught and released. She also brought her "critter cage" and she caught a grasshopper, ladybugs, and a GIANT walking stick. Amazingly they survived several days with fresh "food" (grass.) She wanted to bring them home with her but her mom & dad told her their families would be sad without them so she let them hop/fly off to their homes before we left. Loved all the attention to landscaping; summer flowers fading but mums either in bloom or ready to bloom! And the butterflies were everywhere! We were looking for relaxing place for a week and Big Oak Lodge more than fit the bill. We would love to come back with the new family member, and see this gem in another season. (Of course, that would mean no pool.) But maybe the giant tub in the master bath would satisfy the youngsters.) Thanks for sharing this house. GIve Belle, Missouri a try.
I really appreciate Kaiser's family hospitality and making every effort to make their guests feel like home. They were at the site at time of check-in and gave me and my family a warm welcome to their home. They showed us the place and ensured to cover the details that can make the stay enjoyable and smooth. The place is well maintained and looks far better than what pictures say. Kitchen well equipped with all the basic needs and more (even bakery stuff, although would benefit from some organization), the pool is great size with a slide, hot tub provides great view, gas grill is covered in rainy days with a sink and mini fridge nearby, and row a boat in the pond. Lots of activities and can prepare all meals right there (just need some shopping from local store or meal delivery kits). Also there is a nearby (less than 5 mins by car) frozen custard joint that we all loved.
Everything is nice, and what make it like this is the owners prepared the place for their enjoyment too.
Definitely visiting again
I booked this home specifically to view the 2017 Total Solar Eclipse. We brought a couple of friends with us, and our son & wife joined us for one night. This property is the most fantastic place I've stayed in for a very long time (and my husband & I use VRBO at least 3-4 times a year for vacations). It's grounds & view are to die for - the inside of the house and outside is decorated beautifully and stocked with anything & everything you could possible need. The owners, Randy & Carol are extremely helpful and we enjoyed meeting them. I just can't say enough about this place, other than we plan to come back for another trip with the same friends for a week! 3 days was definitely not long enough to enjoy the peace & quiet & serenity of Big Oak Lodge!!! Thank you Randy & Carol :)
What a great place to get away and relax! Owners were very friendly and easy to make plans with. Thanks for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful home and amenities.
In addition to a self-contained property with an upscale home, hot tub, heated in-ground pool, lake and beautiful grounds, the Gasconade River is located 5 miles away and is accessible publically at Rollins Ferry Conservation Access.
