Guest access
You have access to the entire cottage and surrounding yard. We also have a dock with shared access a short drive down the road that is available from May to October. A boat slip is available upon request from Memorial Day through Labor Day. It is not available for fishing tournaments outside these dates. Our family wants you to have a pleasant stay in our cabin. We meet you upon arrival in spring, summer and fall to show you the lake lot and bring up the golf cart. After that, you might see us at the dock but we generally disappear until you need something. In the winter, it isn’t necessary to meet guests but we are always available. The cottage will be cozy when you arrive.

Other things to note
Cairn Cottage welcomes families with open arms. However the cottage works best for children aged 5 and above. We are not equipped for infants and toddlers nor is the cottage childproof. Additionally, we require guests sign a waiver of liability as a condition of their stay. If you have any additional questions about this (or anything else!), please don't hesitate to ask before booking. We want everyone to have an exceptional stay!

Neighborhood highlights

Cairn Cottage sits on 4 acres, a quarter mile from the Lake of the Ozarks (69MM, Osage Arm). The cottage is only a couple of miles off blacktop on gravel. The lake lot is about a mile further, down the same road. The Brown Bend Public Lake Access and boat ramp is 11 minutes (6mi) away. Be advised that this area of the lake was developed before HOAs were a thing. Expect to see a wide variety of housing in the area. If the occasional ramshackle house or trailer disturbs you, you might be more comfortable in an area that has HOA. Additionally, Cairn Cottage sits right next to woods with a great variety of wildlife. Sometimes this wildlife gets up close and personal. Please don’t feed it and please do consider bug spray. Also keep the front door closed unless you are going in and out to make sure you don’t end up with an unwanted visitor inside the cottage.
