100/10 WOULD RECOMMEND!!!!BEST STAY, SUPER CLEAN, HANDS ON/FRIENDLY OWNERS, EASY CHECK IN, KID FRIENDLY, FOOD, POOL, ADULT BEVERAGES ALL ON SITE! If you'd like specifics, just continue reading.... Check in was incredibly easy. We were given our cabin, boat slip and trailer parking numbers via text message hours before arrival. The site map was up to date making it easy to find all the spaces. We dropped the boat in first thing, and while parking the trailer, we were met by the owner. I was practicing backing the boat trailer up. Let's just say it took me a minute. He waited patiently talking to my boyfriend as I successfully parked it, in only 4 "resets" He called me by my name, (I booked the room) he introduced himself, and asked if we were finding everything ok, or if we needed any help. We said we were good, thanked him for the effortless check in. Our cabin was very clean, had a comfortable bed, with 4 pillows (2 soft, 2 firm) towels were fluffy, hot water was hot. We had an issue being unable to connect to WiFi. I took a chance and texted the number that sent my details. To my surprise, I received a text rather promptly, informing me, they reset the routers and had tech support on the phone and they were coming out the following morning and apologized for the inconvenience. When I awoke, WiFi was working great. I didn't try the food, at either place, or the pool. But the menus looked great, people were eating and having drinks, nobody was loud or obnoxious. The pool was crystal clear, it's re balanced with chemicals and vacuumed every night. If you've read this far, I hope you consider this place for your next getaway. It's family friendly, they have some type of water "activity" going into the lake that floats, coming sometime this month. 100/10 would recommend. We do several tournaments every year, and will be returning here for every one.

Only that I didn't stay longer and that was no one's fault but my own

We were looking for a great staycation at lake of the Ozarks. And we have always heard good things about this place. It was so quiet and so perfect we decorated the cabin for Christmas and had family come over to enjoy the lake while we grilled and while it being 50° outside ! We fished on the dock and we played Christmas music! 😁 It was everything we wanted, literally in our backyard! The owners are kind, funny and helpful I

There wasn't many things that I didn't like. There wasn't any shampoo. But I know we were early! There wasn't many comfortable places to sit, nor were there dressers to place our clothes.

This was my second time staying at Buddys Harbor and the entire staff and the facilities are the best I’ve seen anywhere at the lake of the Ozarks. I would highly recommend you and your family stay at Buddys Harbor. It’s the perfect location, the best lakefront cabin. The best pizza at the Lake Of The Ozarks, the most fun I’ve ever had and I’ve been going to the lake ever since the early 1960s. I can only imagine what it’s like in the spring and summer! Can’t wait to find out the spring.

I liked every single thing.

A really great place to escape with everything you need. The cabin was nice, everything worked as expected. It is right on the lake, with a swimming dock, a pool, a marina, kayaks and paddle boards. Two bars. Games. The staff is wonderful and very helpful. I hope to come back every year!

Buddy's has its own "small community" atmosphere. It has all of the amenities that we were looking for. Very friendly staff. Our room is exactly what we anticipated. We immediately booked Memorial weekend when we got home from our 4/25-4/26 visit. This is an amazing facility, all the way around. I wish them all the success in the coming years. --Stacy Eastwood

Great atmosphere, friendly staff. My son discovered he enjoys kayaking which was cool. Pizza at the lounge was delicious. The vibe is very relaxed. The pool was great, and the bar staff was very accommodating. We hope to come back, great find!

Everything met our expectations - our original cabin had an issue with the water heater and the owner, Oscar responded quickly to move us to a different cabin. Thank you!

Very relaxing vibes. You can order drinks from the bar or lounge or drink your own. There were two different food options so you don't have to leave or cook. You also have options to swim in the outdoor pool or the lake. Cabin was clean and the bed was comfortable. Air conditioning worked great.

Toilet paper provided could be better. I'll just bring my own next time šŸ˜‰

Everything on site and access. So many options, very Cool.

Not enough shelves in the bathroom or towel rods. Little more lighting, check for voltage that are blown out. Quiet time at 10 but the bar and gaming room I thought would be open until 11. I would prefer 11 and change your advertisements to read 10 instead of 11. Overall had a wonderful time will come back again.

The silo bar was awesome. Pool, great. Boat dock and water toys great. The pizza was great.. The cabin was private and quiet. We had a new puppy, and the owners were super nice and accommodating..

Could have used more hot water. On demand only had enough for one shower.

From the moment I pulled in, I loved the location and setting. So did my service dog Bodri, my 9 yr old Hungarian puli. The place is amazing with so much to do. Never short on any activity. Oscar, Jeff and Cory were all amazing, helpful, and Jeff makes the best pizza I’ve ever tasted here at the lake. I can’t wait to come back with my sister and stay in cabin number 10 again. It’s got the perfect view of the swimming pool and the entire cove!

I liked everything!!
