We stayed 3 nights at B&B, in Home Sweet Home room with Americana decorations and our own veranda overlooking the lake, complete with 2-person jacuzzi and the other accoutrements. There is no frig or bar in the room but host Debbie encourages use of a common full size frig in the B&B dining area. There were ample hot drinks of all sorts, fresh-baked cookies (I never went to look for 1 and didnt find any left). The beds have a solid spring mattress topped with a 6" memory foam topper. Hall fans and air/heat in the room can be controlled from the hall (on the second floor). Debbie gives ample directions to all dining establishments and interests in the area (we even got a free boat ride with her and Big Ed her partner around the lake). Then- the breakfasts. I have never seen such a ripaste day after day. The first day it was poached eggs in a bacon shell with a cinnamon croissant and fruit, the next french toast and fresh fruit, eggs and sausages, the next asparagus rolled in ham with yogurt and cherry compote (I am probably forgetting something), always with cranberry or orange juice and of course hot drinks. I think she provides something different no matter how long a guest stays. If there is something different you want/need, she was always receptive and helpful. We will return.

This Bed and Breakfast is a lovely gem of a home. We stayed in the Rose Room that had a sunk-in jetted tub, fireplace, and deck to view Lake Ozark. The bed was very comfortable. They had a very large common room with a lovely couch, chair and ottomon if you wanted to hang out read or watch a program.
Deb always had a pot of coffee on and we hired her husband Ed as our guide to fishing large mouth bass. Ed didn't disappoint. Loved the fishing. Be sure to get out on the lake early if you want to fish because this is a very busy lake. Definitely recommend!

We stayed in the Home Sweet Home room for six nights in June. It had a private balcony with a beautiful view of the lake. The private bathroom had a whirlpool for two.
There’s abundant common area on two floors, well decorated with a very Ozark-y combination of fishing paraphernalia and Longaberger baskets.
Outside, there’s another deck overlooking the lake, with several rocking chairs and side tables.
Breakfast is huge! French toast, eggs, ham, sausage — many combinations I’d never had before, always with a side of fruit. If you have special dietary needs, Deb can accommodate.
Speaking of Deb, she and Big Ed (of Big Ed’s Guide service) are wonderful hosts. We felt like family by the second day. They’re available and interested but not intrusive. They’ve lived in the area for some 20 years and can tell you anything you want to know, whether it’s “which is the best cave tour?” , “are there invasive species in the lake?” , or “where are the fish?” They are gracious, kind-hearted, patient, and humorous.
We’ll be back.

We had a splendidly comfortable stay! The property is full of beauty and privacy inside and out, and thoughtful details like water bottles, robes, and wine caddy made it feel like a treat. We were so fortunate to have Ed take us out fishing to his local hot spots and that was real special to us. The breakfasts that were served were top notch and all the details and comforts were available and provided. Thank you for your amazing hospitality!!

Deb & Ed run what is probably the best Bed & Breakfast we have stayed in. Well decorated room, comfortable bed, great bathroom with a shower & a whirlpool tub & balcony with a view of the lake. You can sit on a covered veranda by the lake & visit with other guests. They also have a swim dock. Ed stopped by & told stories while we were on the veranda one evening. Deb makes a delicious breakfast & then stays for conversation. Chocolate chip cookies & soda are available 24/7. You can't go wrong staying here.

The wife and I went down with nothing planned other than knowing we need a weekend away. The property is beautiful right on the water, with a deck that is great for fishing or just soaking in some sun. Deb was an amazing host breakfast was healthy and tasted great, also gave us some great ideas on things to do and even though my wife and I have been vacationing down at the lake since we where both kids she still had ideas and attractions for us to see that we did not even know where there. We will be back!

A wonderful, relaxing bed and breakfast at the Lake of the Ozarks. Deb genuinely enjoys having guests and makes delicious, bountiful breakfasts. The decor is whimsical in some areas and romantic in others, but comfortable everywhere. The water was soft, a rarity at lodging anywhere and at the Lake. The linens were amazing and the mattress was incredible, comforting you in some softness but with a firm base for great back support. As an added bonus, there were multiple opportunities to spot wildlife, including deer and bald eagles, right on the property.

Nicely decorated and spacious rooms. Our room overlooked the lake and had a nice balcony with chairs. Downstairs there is a comfortable sitting area. Deb was nice and welcoming; we did not meet Ed. Breakfasts were served in communal dining room. Food was acceptable... one was excellent; the other average as scrambled eggs and fried ham doesn't quite come up to what we have normally experienced in a B&B. Location is not easy to find and access is by narrow roads. There is a parking issue as well. Very steep incline and tight parking space. Not a place for large vehicles. Seems this could be resolved with assigned parking as there are only 4 rooms. There are lots of stairs regardless of what room you choose. Not a problem for many but guests should be aware of this. Also we made the mistake of not checking the community calendar and ended up being there during Bike Week. Seems there are a lot of big community activities around the lake so encourage you to check the calendar before making reservations.

This Bed and Breakfast is amazing. But let me tell you that Ed and Deb are even more amazing. Super clean and perfectly decorated rooms and commons areas. Great relaxing scenery from a beatiful deck overlooking the water to a super nice dock to sit and relax on or fish or swim off of. Gourmet breakfast served every day by Deb with lots of wonderful fellowship to go with it. Race track and fishing stories from Ed was also wonderful. The hospitality this couple provides during your stay is unbelievable . They truely make you feel like family. We will definitly be going back every chance we get. Thank you Ed and Deb for making our get away so special and relaxing.
