** Below are some of the Letters and Comments about Poco Risco**





Kevin,

Just wanted to let you know that the week we spent in your Horizon Home was the best family vacation we have ever had. The home is beautiful, comfortable and equipped with all the things you need to have a relaxing week away from home.

I also want to thank you for your help the day of our arrival. Fixing a flat is not the best way to start a vacation. Your assistance was greatly appreciated.

Would you hold on to my security deposit and pencil us in for two weeks next year begininning June 14th? We have shown our vacation pictures to Natalie's brother, sister, mother and father and they would all like to join us next year.

Thanks again for you hospitality. Let me know if there is a problem with my request for the rental next summer.

Regards,

Ron

To Whom It May Concern:

It is rare that a family makes a long distance commitment for a vacation to a place that they have never been to, and to lodging that they know nothing about.  I made the arrangements to stay at Poco Risco Homes based on data downloaded from their website, and from discussions with the owner, Kevin Fehrmann.

We were driving from Colorado Springs, Colorado with our boat to a place that we had never been to, or know anybody else that had.  Are the location and lodgings as good as the web site pictures showed?  Was the owner as truthful about the quality of the accommodations? My family and I were overjoyed to discover a vacation home that was much more than we expected and hoped for.  The home was immaculately clean, extremely well equipped, and exceptionally beautiful.  The pictures and descriptions that Mr. Fehrmann provided us were an understatement.  He has an exceptionally well built home, in both looks and functionality.  As hot and humid as the summer can be in Missouri, the air conditioning worked perfectly.  The views of the lake from both decks were breathtaking.  The boat dock and slip were perfect for our 19 foot boat and for the kids to swim from. 

I plan to make Poco Risco Homes a regular vacation destination and have recommended it to family, friends, and my business customers.  I hope to be able to purchase a retirement home on the lake from Mr. Fehrmann  in the next few years. The people in the town were very friendly.  Everything we needed for our stay was not far away.


I would recommend Poco Risco Homes to anybody who is looking for 5 star accommodations for vacation or for purchase of a lakefront home. Please feel free to use this letter of recommendation for anybody that inquires about Poco Risco Homes.

Our family rented one of the Poco Risco Log Homes during the Christmas vacation of 2001. The home is lovely and very spacious. Our group consisted of eight adults and three small children. We did a lot of cooking and found the kitchen lacking for nothing in small appliances and cookware. The view of the lake was beautiful. Kevin was so very accommodating in making all the arrangements. We plan on coming back in the future.

Kevin,

I wanted to let you know that my family and friends enjoyed our stay at your log home over the Thanksgiving weekend. We left yesterday at 10 am and had a good drive back home.

Now that we have discovered Poco Risco and the Ozarks, I can assure you that I will return with more family and friends.

Regards,

Rahul

How awesome in the mornings while fishing off of the dock to see Eagles flying & Pelicans gliding on the water! Looking out at night at the stars & glistening water you couldn't help but feel the essence of God's beauty!!!

Artists who were looking for a place to paint a picture of pure serenity (water, trees, wildlife) that's exactly what you find at the Pelican house!!!

The comfort & tranquilly of your home was everything we wanted, therefore we're making it our number one choice for a lake home.


Thanks again,

I want to thank you on behalf of the four couples that spent five wonderful days at your beautiful log home. Over the past 25 years that we have been coming to "the Lake" we have had the good fortune to stay in some nice places and meet some great people. This year was the best yet. Not only is your place beautifully maintained but the views from the house and the deck were superb. Add to that the fact that we were away from the normal noise and traffic that you can find on the lake and you have the makings for a perfect getaway. If this weren't enough your hospitality and willingness to make sure that everything went well were an added bonus. Thank you again for a great time and we look forward to spending time in that new four bedroom house that you are starting!

Kevin and Karen, my wife and I and our guests had a wonderful time at Poco Risco. The home was beautiful and as well equiped as our own home. It was well worth the drive and expense. If anyone is ever looking for a relaxing weekend at the lake, without all the busy action on the water in the Osage area, this is perfect. Waters as calm as a river and a view around every corner. We will no doubt be back.

Dear Kevin and Karen,
We wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay AGAIN! Everyone in our family raved about our last vacation with you a few years ago and vowed that we would all meet there again. It's a nice midpoint for the families traveling from the east and west to meet. We love the fact that the log homes are somewhat secluded and very private, the homes are very clean and well maintained and the views are beautiful! We had people from age 6 to 78 and everyone enjoyed the fishing, swimming, boating and just lounging around. It was nice to know that you were there if we needed you, but you respected our privacy and we appreciated that very much. We are hoping that we can all make it back for a spectacular vacation for the third time! Thanks again for everything.

Hello Kevin and Karen,
Thank you so much for the wonderful place to take a family retreat!

Thank you for the wonderful weekeend. My friends and I all gathered from all over the Midwest to enjoy the holiday weekend and we could not have picked a better place. The location was excellent as it was not in the heart of the business, but down a bit futher where it was more relaxed, but not so far that we couldn't find some activity if we looked for it.

Your log home is beatiful and spacious and your customer service was truly second to none. Thank you for making the weekend the best it could be.

We had an excellent time at the home. There were 8 of us, and it was wonderful. We will definitely be going back. The lake is fairly quiet where we are which was really nice for teaching water skiing to our kids. The water is clear and beautiful and goes on forever! Kevin and Karen are very kind and always around to help out. Our boat broke down mid week, and they towed us in. This is a great family place to be, and we are looking forward to our next visit. The home itself was beautiful and spacious. The two decks are huge and have great hammocks.

By reading the rest of this page of this page I see it will rough to be original unless I have something negative to say about our stay. Well that not going to happen. Are whole group had a good time at a great place. I have been renting vacation homes for a few years with the same group. Your place ranks at the top all the way around. Keep up the great work and thanks for a good time.

What a wonderful place to get away from it all and relax. After staying in all 3 log homes, I couldn't pick which one we like best. They are all very nice and roomy and have everything we need. Each time we bring someone different, they are very impressed with the log homes and the area. Very peaceful. Thanks for everything. Looking forward to our next trip to Poco Risco.

Kevin/Karen--
Thank you so much for letting me know about your gorgeous log home! As one who usually stays in hotels while working on the road, I was a little nervous about the change to "rustic" facilities. I couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised! The cabin had every amenity I needed, and more. It was clean, comfortable, and quite relaxing.
I hope to come back to the Ozarks in the warmer weather, and will definitely see if you have room for me.

The house was beautiful, spotless, cozy and relaxing enviroment. I can't wait until our next trip to your place at the Ozarks.

We had a wonderful family vacation at the Lake of the Ozarks this past August, and your Horizon home was exactly what we were looking for. I knew it was a success when our adult daughter from Baltimore said it was exactly the family get-together she was hoping for and our 11 year old grandson from Kansas asked if we could come back next summer. We enjoyed your spacious log home so much, I hope we can return soon. Thanks again.

My family spent 4 wonderful days at the Poco Risco Log Home! Keven was great to work with and I knew even before we got there that it was going to be a wonderful experience. The home has every thing you could ask for and the view is perfect. We did a lot of fishing off the boat /swim dock. We even caught a couple of fish! We rented a pontoon boat for a day and we enjoyed getting out on the lake. What a peaceful, relaxing time. Thank you for a great family experience.

Thank you for letting us stay at your log cabin, it was more than we expected, everything was nice inside and outside, and the fishing and boating was great, This was the best vacation ever, The travel from Iowa was well worth the travel to your log cabin, but we were all sad that the week went so fast and had to pack up and go back to iowa. We will definately be back in the future.

Thank you for the wonderful time we had at the Little Niangua Home. We've vacationed for 22 years together with another family and this house rates among the tops. The only suggestion I could have is to add a firepit somewhere on the property as we like to have campfires. We would love to come back again sometime. You were very helpful and I appreciate you sending back the videotape we left in the vcr. Thanks again.

Thanks Kevin for sharing your awesome vacation home. We had such a great time and plan to come back in August. We had considered driving to Florida in August but after having such a great time at the Little Niangua getaway we just had to come back. Kevin is very helpful and always available. He helped us with the boats and also helped us back out a boat and trailer from the driveway when we did NOT pay attention to the no turnaround sign. Sorry about that :) Anyway we had an awesome trip and never left the house by car. We took the boats to HA HA TONKA and the rest of the time we stayed near our dock. The area is so calm which was perfect for a large group with many small children. Thanks again.

Kevin,

I have to say that we were a little apprehensive about renting a cabin from a website, but were so pleased the minute we drove up to the cabin. Our family rented the Little Niangua Getaway cabin for our vacation first of November, 2003. It was very convenient to be near family in Camdenton. The accomodations were perfect. We were all very pleased with our stay and plan on staying there again on our next visit to Missouri. We definitely recommend your cabins to anyone looking for a nice, quiet getaway in the beautiful Ozarks area.

Thank you so much for helping make our getaway so perfect! We desperately needed a peaceful, just-the-two-of-us retreat, and thanks to your patient assistance, we found it in the Ozarks!

We loved just spending time in the Horizon home, which more than exceeded our expectations both asthetically and practically. Just yesterday we were reminiscing about waking up to a lovely view of the water and hearing nothing but the rustling leaves on the trees. Nothing could have been better!

We very much look forward to a return visit.

Thanks again!

Thanks for being a part of our memories of a great vacation--hope to see you again!! They WILL be back ( in my best Arnold impersonator voice), so we'll all be back.

Take care Kevin,

Kevin-
We had a wonderful time and thanks for letting us stay in your beautiful home. It was very clean and everything we had hoped for. It was even better than the website shows. We will be back next year and will try to stay longer.
Thanks for all your help!

Dear Kevin,
This year we were looking for a place to spend our 19th cousin's reunion, my daugther found your places and looked as if they might be large enough to accommodate our family. As it was they were and lovely places, we were very comfortable and had plenty of space and good thing because it rained all weekend and we only were able to get into the lake one afternoon. We still had a great time and are checking with the whole crew to see if they all want to come back next year. We will be in touch. Thank you. Sincerely, Sue Sassmann

Hi!
We had a wonderful and relaxing time while staying in the Little Niangua Home. We were all comfortable and enjoyed the convience of having our boat and swim area just of few stairs away. The hammocks are great, too!

We (my husband, myself and our two children ages 10 and 5) stayed in the new home on lot 7 in late July 2003. We had an absolutely fabulous time. The weather was warm, but not too hot. The lake is clean and the water refreshing. The house is unbelievable - beautiful inside and out. We had such a great time that we have already booked a repeat trip for next year which is something we have never done before!

Staying in a Poco Risco home was one of the best vacation decisions we've made. If you stay in one of Kevin's homes be sure to check out Ha Ha Tonka State Park, jumping from the "cliffs" (you'll have to ask someone where they are) and The Fish for both lunch and dinner.

Kevin,
I found your Little Niangua Getaway Home on your website and booked a week-long vacation for 5 couples and our children in the hopes that the pictures weren't misleading. To say we were all a little nervous upon arrival is an understatement, myself especially, as everyone had trusted my judgement. We were more than happy with the accomodations which met and exceeded our expectations. Unlike most vacations, we had the comfort of home in a vacation-like atmosphere. It was like living on the lake. The house was equipped as promised and once we settled in, we never had to run back to town. We prepared all meals at the cabin and had plenty to do on the lake to keep us going. I only hope the walk up the stairs from the dock helped me burn some of the weight I put on eating!! An extra thanks for returning with a new blender at 10:00 pm on the first night of our stay-that was really going out of your way. You will definitely see us again and hopefully others who we have eagerly recommended.

Thanks,
Kevin Poe

Kevin,

Thank you for letting us stay at the log home. What a wonderful vacation! The weather and water were great and the home couldn't have been any better. We plan to come back again. Next year our family reunion is at Windermere Baptist Camp (close to you), so we may try to tack on a few extra days with you during that vacation. It sounds like our friends, the Ericksons, who stayed with us are considering a trip back too, as well as other friends from here in Colorado who are looking for a great spot. We'll keep on passing your name around!

Thanks and we hope to see you again.

Hi Kevin,
We made it home alright. We just wanted to thank you for everything; we had a great time! It was the first year i didn't hear dad complain about the rough water. We will never stay on any other side of the lake again, it was beautiful! We'll see you again next year.

Hi, Kevin.
Thanks for a great week!! Our family had a wonderful time. The log house was beautiful & so comfortable. The area was just what we wanted--quiet & peaceful. It was the perfect setting. We can't wait to come back!!!! We were hoping to see you before we left. Hope the house was okay. We cleaned before we left. Let me know about the deposit. How soon do we have to let you know about next year? When do the reservations start?
Thanks again! It was really a fantastic week!

Dear Kevin,
Our son, daughter-in-law, and their two daughters invited us to go on vacation with them to your beautiful log home. We had a wonderful time. What a gorgeous view we had of the lake, and the castle across the water was an enjoyable attraction to see. You were so gracious and everything in the home was in good working order. We had a marvelous vacation. We hope to return again in the near future.

I am writing this for anyone who may find themselves in a similar situation. We needed a vacation, wanted to do something new, someplace new. My wife used the internet to search for vacation cabin rentals within a 10-hour radius south of our home (Northern Illinois). We found this and many others. After a few unpleasant conversations with other locations, a few uninformative exchanges with other locations, and a few that were just not what we were looking for, we decided on Poco Risco. Kevin was very informative and responsive leading up to and after our arrival. The accommodations were as good or better than "advertised". Kevin was/is very pleasant and professional. We stayed with our two daughters (3 years old) and my parents. We all had a great time; the cabin/home was clean, well laid out, and just a pleasure. The girls (actually, all of us) didn't want to go home. Booking a vacation over the internet can be, by its nature, risky- this was a very pleasant experience that I fully recommend. BTW- this section of the lake was quiet- we loved it.

Kevin, we had a great time over New Years. A very nice place with a great fireplace made our stay exactly what we wanted for the holiday. We saw several bald eagles that flew within 30 feet of the house. They were so close you could see their eyes. AWESOME!!! The snow that we got made everything so beautiful. What's up with the castle across the lake? Would definately stay there again.

Kevin-

We had a wonderful stay in your log home over thanksgiving. The house is beautiful, the view is great and the location is easy to find but still private. The house is in great shape and has all the amenities we could want! I look forward to our next trip to the lake and Poco Risco. Thanks for a great vacation!

Hi Kevin,

Just thought I'd look through your website a little and learn more about the Lake of the Ozarks.

Kevin,
We are making our family vacations an annual event, mainly because we such had a wonderful stay at the log cabin. The lake is beautiful in the spring AND the fall. The surroundings are so peaceful. I miss sitting out on the deck watching the birds as they float over the water.
My little nieces love to go on walks and pick wildflowers for the table. They also love to fish from the dock althought they haven't gotten the casting down yet.
I grew up in Missouri and live in California now but going to the cabin at Poco Risco makes me appreciate the beauty of Missouri.

Thanks again for your hospitality!

B. LaRocca and Family

Kevin - Beautiful place for our family gathering.
We really enjoyed our stay. Hope the picture of
our 22 mo. old graddaughter catching her first fish off the dock turns out. Hope to visit again
next year.
Sincerely,

Kevin,
I live in New York, and knew nothing about the Ozarks before visiting. I found your internet site, gave you a call, and you walked me through not only the amenities of your beautiful homes but of the Ozarks area. I especially appreciate your putting me in contact with people who rent boats in the area.
Again, your homes were indeed top notch, well cleaned, and in a beautiful, rustic setting.
Thank you!

Loved our stay at LNG log home. We had found the house on the internet, so were very apprehensive and didn't know what to expect, especially as we had never visited Missouri before. The house was lovely, very spacious and immaculate. That part of the lake provides the exact peace and quiet we were looking for. We loved the views over the lake, the private access, the sunsets, air conditioning--everything about it. I recommend poco risco log homes highly.

Kevin,

Hope we didn't wake you with our early departure yesterday. Our daughter is in medical school and we needed to leave early to avoid the early morning fog so she could get back for classes.

I wanted to let you know we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Poco Risco. The accommodations were outstanding. I look forward to our next visit.
