About this property

AMAZING COVE! 3 Bed/2Ba Lakefront Home - Hot Tub, Smart TVs, EV Charger, Firepit

  • Welcome to Makin' Waves Lodge on Birdsong Hollow Cove!

    This newly remodeled, 1200 sq ft lakefront home at Lake of the Ozarks has been updated to provide guests with everything necessary to make great memories at the lake.

The kitchen provides all the comforts of home to cook and a Blackstone Griddle is available to barbecue for the family.

    Outdoor space is plentiful including a large covered deck with a brand new Blackstone griddle and Smart TV, martini deck with covered gazebo, and a newly upgraded dock complete with picnic table, mini-fridge, and jumping platform. After a long day swimming or skiing and tubing, relax your muscles in the covered hot tub. It's always fun to end your day and watch the sunset with a fire and s'mores in the the fire pit.

Great place on the lake!

Came up to visit friends and this place was perfect. Had everything we needed to cook and relax. It rained and was cold the entire time but the covered deck still allowed us to grill. Definitely would stay here again.

A Perfect Getaway!!

We just had a remarkable stay at Makin’Waves Lodge. The view is great and the house itself is spacious, spotless, and packed with every amenity you could want, from a fully stocked kitchen to cozy beds that make you never want to leave. The multiple outdoor spaces are perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails, and the hot tub was a relaxing plus! The hosts were super responsive and went above and beyond. Hands down, a wonderful getaway spot—already counting the days until we can come back!

Pleasant stay

We enjoyed our stay at Makin Waves Lodge. Very clean and comfortable, no problems at all. The property is on a very peaceful part of the lake and easy to get to. Also just a short drive to everything around the lake. The owner is very easy to communicate with and very accommodating. We would recommend this property for those wanting a relaxing, comfortable stay.

Cozy Getaway

The house was adorable and very clean. We all slept very well after long days of playing in the lake. The kitchen is very spacious for cooking. We loved the options on the property, swimming, using the dock for our jetski, the hot tub, and having campfires. Beautiful!

Perfect Lake House Vacation!

The property is just as described and pictured and was able to accommodate 6 adults very comfortably. We spent a lot of time in the lake and used the hot tub every night. A short drive to some nice restaurants and shopping. We even rented a pontoon and went bar hopping one day. We all agreed that we would stay here again! Thank you, Andrew, for sharing your lake house with us!

Great location, perfect for our family of 6

We enjoyed being right on the water - spent time on the lake tubing, floating, fishing. Especially enjoyed the covered deck for morning coffees, afternoon naps, and evening card playing! Not many mosquitoes to speak of which made it even more enjoyable. We ate in some thanks to the fully stocked kitchen and also ate out some too. Definitely used the on-site laundry too. Highly recommend, especially if you want a quieter area of the lake with quick access to everything!

Girls Birthday Getaway

We loved the making waves lodge. We were looking for a relaxing getaway with a beautiful view and that is what we got. We loved having the hot tub and the fire pit which was amazing on a chilly night. The house was beautifully decorated and very clean. It had everything that we could ask for. We reached out to the management company for early check in and was helped right away. Would highly recommend.

Excellent stay!

Took my 2 young daughters for spring break somewhere different but similar this year compared to our prior few years. We’ve gone to the Smoky Mountains in recent years but wanted a different type of nature escape this year! Makin’ Waves was legit a great time. My girls loved wandering down to the dock just to hangout and dip their toes in the water. When we weren’t outside, we enjoyed the spacious, comfortable, and very clean house! Stark Caverns black light cave tour was cool, Redhead Lakeside Grill was a good lunch out, and overall, the 5-night stay was great. Andrew was easy to get a hold of when I initially had an inquiry about my entry code. We’d definitely stay again!

Family fun on the Lake

We had a good time with family at this property. The dock was great, and the location was nice. There were some things that might need to be looked at in the near future. The stairs down to the dock were needing repair. The last step was hard to maneuver. The BBQ was very greasy and other furniture on the deck also. The house was clean and worked great for the seven of us with plenty of room.

Can’t wait to go back

We rent a lake house for a week every summer and have yet to stay at a property more than once, until now. We had such an amazing time at Makin Waves Lodge that we have already decided it’s where will stay again next year. Andrew, the host, was wonderful and even accommodated our last minute desire to stay an extra night. Communication was 5 stars. The property itself was exactly as listed, which is rare in my experience. The house was very clean, beds were comfortable, and there were so many little extras at the house that speak to the thoughtfulness of the host. The towels, dishes, cooking utensils, etc were all in great condition and made making meals easy & enjoyable. The house is 5 stars. The outdoor areas from the huge deck right off the kitchen, to the hot tub, fire pit, covered seating area, and the dock were all amazing. All the areas were clean and well kept. You can tell the owner takes care of everything and wants guests to be able to just relax and enjoy the lake. The swim dock was where we spent most of our days. Everything was meticulously maintained , and the mini fridge was a great touch due to all the stairs. The jumping platform was a lot of fun. We stayed Monday to Saturday and the water was wonderful for swimming and floating. I research a place to stay every year and appreciate honest, thorough reviews. I could go on and on about this property….definitely 5 stars.
