Cozy Lakefront Retreat for Every Season

Escape to FireFly Lakehouse, a beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath lakefront home offering 2,700 sq ft of comfortable living space for up to 14 guests. Perfect for fall weekends, holiday gatherings, family getaways, or a cozy retreat with friends, FireFly is designed for relaxing, reconnecting, and making unforgettable lake memories in every season.

Enjoy tranquil cove views from the primary suite and two spacious living areas, each with access to a private deck or patio. In the cooler months, sip coffee while taking in the peaceful lake views, curl up by the indoor gas fireplace, or gather together for conversation, games, and a relaxing evening at home.

The lower level is the ultimate entertainment space for fall and winter stays, featuring a bar area, large TV, ice maker, ping pong table, and arcade game. The bunk room gives kids their own space to play and relax, making FireFly a great choice for family gatherings and multi-generational trips.

The spacious kitchen and living areas make it easy to gather for holiday meals, game days, movie nights, or a weekend away with family and friends. With plenty of room to spread out across two levels, everyone can enjoy time together while still having space to relax.

Outdoor living is beautiful year-round. Step onto the expansive decks to enjoy crisp fall mornings, peaceful winter lake views, and evenings gathered around the fire table. A gas grill is available for cooking outdoors, and the private two-level dock offers a quiet place for fishing and taking in the scenery even during the off-season.

During warmer weather, guests can enjoy swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, and relaxing on the upper sun deck. Great fishing can be found right off the dock!
(For safety and insurance reasons, jumping from the upper dock is not permitted.)

The home comfortably sleeps 14 guests across four bedrooms. The main level features a lake-view primary suite, two additional bedrooms, a guest bathroom, a fully stocked kitchen, and an inviting living area with vaulted ceilings, oversized windows, and a cozy indoor gas fireplace.

A circular driveway provides plenty of parking, including space for a boat trailer, making arrival easy and convenient for larger groups.

Located at the 8-mile marker on the west side of the lake, FireFly is directly across from Shady Gators and Camden on the Lake, with restaurants, groceries, and other lake-area conveniences only minutes away.

Whether you’re planning a fall getaway, Thanksgiving or Christmas gathering, winter weekend, family reunion, or simply a peaceful escape from everyday life, FireFly Lakehouse offers a warm and welcoming place to slow down and enjoy time together.

FireFly is a peaceful, family-friendly retreat and not a party house. It’s a place to relax, recharge, reconnect, and create lasting memories with the people who matter most.

Your stay includes professional cleaning and an exterior security camera for added peace of mind.

We had such a fun stay here! Definitely an excellent place for everyone to have their own space and spread out, but still spend quality time together and have a little fun! Great outdoor spaces, and great game selection! Only downside is the roads might make you not want to eat a huge supper (but totally worth it for this stay)!!

Great house and location!

We loved everything about this rental house. The location on the lake was ideal being in the quiet cove with views of the main channel. The house was very nice and well stocked for our week vacation. We visit the Ozarks each summer and would absolutely rent this home again. The owners were very responsive.

Perfect for a stay at the lake

Firefly Lodge was perfect for our trip to the Ozarks. We had 7 adults stay and there was plenty of room. The location on the lake was great. Close to bars and restaurants and the cove was perfect for swimming right off the awesome dock. Everything was clean and well stocked. Loved having the laundry facilities, WiFi and bar area. We would absolutely return to this property!

My family and I stayed at Firefly for a weekend getaway, and had a great time! The house was clean, spacious, and perfect for the 8 of us. The check-in and check-out processes were easy, and the ladies were always available if we needed them. We loved our stay at Firefly and would definitely recommend to anyone.

Great for family trip

Booked this house for a family trip with my in-laws, most of whom had never been to the Lake of the Ozarks. There were 9 adults and one child and we all slept very comfortably. Location was great, close to everything! My only complaint is that I wish the diving platform on the top of the dock had been accessible!

Perfect stay!

This place was absolutely perfect for our group of 8. Every space in this house has been beautifully decorated. There was more space on the outside to enjoy as well. The location is close to shopping and several restaurants. The communication between Robin and I was so easy and she was quick to respond each time I reached out to her. The only thing I would have changed is the number of days that we stayed. We should have added a few more days. We will definitely be back to this place.

Perfect family vacation home

It was our first family vacation with our little boys and this house was perfect for them. At one point one of our boys said “I love our new house I want to live here!”. The house was decorated perfect and the kitchen was stocked with the best kitchen utensils. If you are a coffee lover like me, you have three coffee makers to chose from! The boat dock was perfect and fit our tri toon. The location was perfect for all your water must stop locations. I would suggest making sure you grab all your groceries before heading out of town because it wasn’t an easy “run down the road” spot. Over all we are extremely pleased with our stay and are already excited come back for next years trip.

Wonderful home!

We loved this property! The house was clean, comfortable and had a beautiful view of the lake with easy access to main channel but was also quiet snd serene. The dock was perfect for fishing and relaxing. Our young kids especially loved the lower level with the tv room, ping pong table and arcade game. We especially appreciated that the kitchen was so well stocked as we did a lot of cooking while we were there and it had everything we needed which is rare to find in a rental property. The beds were comfortable and we loved the style and attention to detail throughout the home. We came with one other family and found the home to be well laid out for multiple families with kids. We’ll definitely come back and would recommend this place to others. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Great Week at the Lake

We brought our pontoon with us for a week at the lake. We chose this rental property based on the lake access, available covered dock for our boat and the ability to park our trailer in the driveway. It was easy putting in our boat in the water at the public ramp but there was another ramp very close to the house that would make it even simpler. We have a truck and a long trailer and were very happy with the driveway space to park. We had 3 kids with us and they were thrilled to each have their own room and plenty of space to hang out in. It was very hot the week of our stay so jumping off the dock and floating in the water were big hits with our family. We had many meals at the house but also loved the number of restaurants we could drive out boat to go eat at. The kids also loved the outdoor fireplace for making s'mores even in the heat!

Great Stay

We ended up taking both sides of the family. This was a great location and the house was set up perfectly. The owners communicated perfectly. Our trip was flawless and will rent again from this owner. My recommendation if you bring your boat bring extra bumpers. This is no way any fault to the owners. This is a nice quiet cove. However on the weekends due to heavy traffic on the main channel. (If you come to the LOTO often, then you know what I mean.) This tends to be a spot were others will go to tube and ski to get off the main channel. During the week it was fine. They just tend to rock the boats not on lifts. Bring a couple extra bumpers and you will be fine on both sides.

Looks just like the pictures but better!

Truly enjoyed our stay at the “firefly” enough room to accommodate our family comfortably. The house was clean, organized, and spacious. Supplies were easy to find and well stocked. Our stay was very relaxing with the beautiful view of the lake. The extra touches (game room & fire pit) was perfect for our game night and added an extra point for me. The only confusion I had with our stay was within the rule book for cleaning. We paid a cleaning fee, but within the book it stated we had to follow the cleaning rules in order to receive our deposit back. However, we never paid a (refundable) deposit nor did we expect one back. We asked for better clarification but it was still unclear why we paid the cleaning fee. It stated we had to clean prior to leaving in order to receive our full deposit back. It was a bit stressful cleaning for a larger group where at times we wanted to relax and enjoy our vacation time. I just think if we pay a cleaning fee doing laundry is a bit silly. Nonetheless the house is just like the pictures and beyond our expectations!

Plenty of space for 2 Families!

There is a lot of space to spread out inside. Plenty of seating when relaxing in the two living rooms, kids brought their Xbox & played on downstairs living room TV after a long day on the lake. We rented a boat and docked at the house overnight while we stayed. The dock is spacious & the kids all enjoyed fishing, floating on the lily pad, & swimming off the dock. The kitchen had plenty of cookware & utensils, we cooked several meals. A grocery store is just 10 min away. (FYI: there’s a few miles of gravel to get to & from the house.) We were there during probably the hottest week of the summer, the AC did have trouble keeping up, but it felt good still when coming in from outside! The deck had plenty of seating too & we used the grill a couple times. There were several wasps nests including inside the patio umbrella, so we weren’t able to open it. The mosquitoes were pretty bad at night, so we only spent one evening eating on the deck. There are several nail heads sticking out of the decking, so shoes are a must on the deck! The primary suite was a nice layout, we didn’t use the soaker tub, but it looked nice! One night, I was the last to shower after 9 others & there was no hot water left..trying to get shampoo out of my hair took longer in the primary shower where there was consistently very little water pressure was- brrrr! The washer & dryer were a nice convenience, we didn’t have any dirty clothes to take back home. Overall, we enjoyed our stay & would stay here again!
