GOOD TO KNOW Please bring sturdy shoes or hiking boots. There are stairs into the cabin and natural terrain throughout the property. Accessing the dock requires walking down a graded slope to the dock stairs. There are two fire pit areas. One is level and located behind the cabin near a picnic table. The lakeside fire pit has beautiful views but sits on a slightly rocky slope. Insect repellent is recommended. This is a cabin in the woods on a lake. SECURITY DISCLOSURE Two Ring doorbell cameras are located at the front and rear entrances of the cabin only. They are not actively monitored and are used for security and check-in verification. There are no cameras inside the cabin, at the dock, lakeside, or near the outdoor shower. OPTIONAL HUNTING ADD-ON Hunting fee is $300 per stay. This covers either two adult hunters or one adult with up to two youth. The property includes 42 acres with pass-through deer, turkey, rabbit, and waterfowl. There is 1,000 feet of lake frontage suitable for duck and goose hunting. Hunter’s liability insurance and valid licenses are required prior to arrival. Guests must bring their own tree stands. The hunting fee will be requested after verification of insurance and licenses. This is more than a typical lake rental.

We enjoyed exploring the property in addition to our time spent on the lake. It had everything we needed and accommodated our group of 7 (plus 2 dogs) well. The kayaks and lily pad were a big bonus. It was a great way to slow down and reconnect with nature after the last few months spent at the ball fields! ##### Michelle K. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Allison B.

Clean, accommodating and furnished with everything you could need. The wifi works well. The dock and the lake are so amazing. The dock is large enough to allow the adults to sit while watching the children enjoy the Lilly pad and kayaks. We hiked in the woods and explored the creek. The location was remote and very relaxing. Would highly recommend! ##### Allison B. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Cheryl D. Nov 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiet & Relaxing Enjoyed the stay over all. Well furnished and well stocked with cooking items. The boat house at end of quiet cove was great for watching wildlife - deer, bald eagles, white pelicans, Canadian geese and of course jumping bass 😁. The only issue we had with the property was lack of task lighting (bedside lamps) and the lack of back deck to enjoy a morning of watching wildlife while drinking our morning coffee. ##### Cheryl D.

Jul 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful cabin with great amenities This cabin paired with the location was perfect. The hosts have thought of everything when it comes to things needed inside the house. It also has its own private dock at the end of a cove that can’t be matched. If you are looking for a peaceful getaway with an updated place to stay, this is it. The hosts are responsive and are willing to take care of their guests anyway they can. We have stayed in many VRBO rentals at both Tablerock and Beaver, but this one has been by far the best. ##### Carrie L. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Cortney L. Sep 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful remote location, bad for bugs There are a lot of pros to the "Make A Mistake" cabin, including location (gorgeous and remote), ease of check-in, ease of communication with host when isues arrise (they respond relatively quickly), privacy, kitchen suplies, and outdoor ammenities. This is the perfect rustic bunkhouse situation for a large family or chosen-family gathering if you are looking to be off the beaten path. Cons: The water heater didn't keep up with the needs of the 4 adults in the cabin-- 4 showers per day, one load of dishes. There was no hot water when I tried to bathe or rinse off my baby. We ran out of toilet tissue on day 2 and had to run 40 mins to town to get some as there was a delay in the host's supply delivery (to their credit, the host is not responsible for the delivery delay). We also had a wasp infestation in the main bedroom. We counted at least 8 wasps in the corner of the room, which were dicovered when they stung our 15 month old daughter while she was napping. When we contacted the host about our concerns, they asked if we saw a nest and claimed no one else had mentioned wasp problems. This was the only situation where the host was not helpful at all. We understand things happen, especially in cabins, yes/and if things happen while you visit it's best to keep expectations in check. Be prepared to be self-sufficient. ##### Cortney L.

We found it to be extremely relaxing and just what we needed before our crazy back to school/sports schedule. We did a lot of fishing off the dock, cruising around the calm waters in the canoe, camp fires and just chilling. The location is remote and not close to many restaurants/shopping locations however we didn't mind that at all. We came prepared with all our food that we needed.

It was perfect. Driving through the winding roads and arriving at a quiet cove of Lake of the Ozarks, we arrived at the nicely-appointed, stocked, and well-kept cabin. Each day we awoke to see wildlife outside either side of the cabin, walked down the path to the large covered dock, watching fish jump all over the cove. In the 10 days there we caught over 70 fish, including several that were 2-5 pounds...bass, bluegill, crappie, drum, and catfish. Our boys kayaked and explored both creeks (to the near left and far left of the dock) for days. Our hosts communicated well and timely with us. The only issue we ran into was a microwave that stopped working, which the hosts replaced the very same day by delivery.We also tried local places to eat around Roach, Camdenton, and Osage Beach.No "mistake" about it... staying there was exactly what we needed. We made a lot of wonderful memories there...and would highly recommend to all. ##### Jason S. Stayed 10 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mitzi S.

The hosts are great communicators and helped out right away with a technical glitch upon our arrival. We absolutely had a great time and enjoyed the use of the lake toys. The kids loved the swim mat! I would definitely recommend for wonderful lake getaway. ##### Mitzi S. Stayed 8 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nate W.

It had everything we were looking for - nice, clean, and with great amenities. We hiked the creek and spent time on the dock swimming and using the kayak. The secluded location was good for us, so the kids could be in the water without worrying about boater traffic. We only saw a couple jetskis and boats across the lake from us so the kids could be out in the kayak. We will definitely book it the next time we are in Lake of the Ozarks! ##### Nate W.

The boating dock is a lot of fun for families in the more shallow water. Its quiet and peaceful with occasional atv on land. Great place to observe wildlife and kayak doen the river and lake. Cabin is small as expected but it had everything we needed for great meals and to bake. The wifi was good to watch movies and plsy some video games. Overall it was a good fathers day get away. ##### Mary S. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bryan D.

Even tho we had to set up camp in the rain we were able to make a good time out of it. We enjoyed camping, fishing, bonfires, exploring, catching lizards, being and to just being away from normal busy life and spenting it with each other over a fire cooked meal. I'd highly recommend this property to anyone who is looking for the real deal camping experience and not the run of the mill "campsites". It reminded me of being out in the wilderness but also feeling like we were back home at our pervious lake house.. we loved it! Thank you guys again! ##### Bryan D.

Kayaks and paddleboard a plus. Property clean and had all the utensils, linens, etc we needed. Very reasonable drive “to town” for the Lake of the Ozark area. ##### Mark L.

Aug 1, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Cabin with Great Lake Views and Private Dock Our family of five spent the weekend in this beautiful cabin and had an aweseome time! The cabin was fully stocked with everything you could ever need. We had a nice slip to park our boat and tie up our jet ski. Lots of lake toys on the dock to play with that my three year old grandson loved! Lots of swimming, kayaking, and fishing! We caught the bluest catfish I have ever seen, lots of big and baby catfish, some bass, perch, and a few crappie. Loved that we had our own space at the dock that felt secluded and private. Enjoyed working with Pege and Cory, we never had any issues but they were great communicators! Highly recommend if you would like to get away and have private stay! Like most of the Ozark area, getting down the hill to the dock is a challenge, but it is totally worth the effort! Be sure to wear tennishoes to get up and down the hill easier! Water shoes and flip flops make for a rough walk up and down the hill, so put them in your bag for use on the dock! ##### Jerri H. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Malachi K.
