A Little Slice of Heaven in the Ozarks!
Located approximately 20 miles southwest of Theodosia
near Protem, Missouri on Bull Shoals Lake; our cabin on 9
secluded acres is remote and serene. Built in 1994, the cabin is nestled
in amongst oak and cedar trees, commanding a majestic view of the main
channel of Bull Shoals Lake. The rustic décor includes lots of pine
and wrought iron including iron-latch pine floors, ponderosa pine cabinets, doors, and built-ins;
and takes you back to when times were simpler.
Grizzly Turtle Lodge has 1700 square feet of main living space including 3
bedrooms, 2 baths, and a great room with a fireplace and loft area. The
loft is home to a solid mahogany pool table, and the walls are covered in
quilts, taxidermy (including Moosey our good luck Alaskan Moose
head, and Lucky the Deer),
along with other rustic decorations. A breezeway connects the cabin to a new log screened porch, providing an additional 600
square feet of outdoor
living space including a children's game table, and outdoor rock
fireplace. It's a great place to sit back and watch the lake or the stars
or grab a bite of dinner. The huge deck is ideal for watching the awesome
sunsets and wildlife.
Grizzly Turtle Lodge sleeps up to 10 people. There are
2 sets of bunk beds in the Rooster Bedroom, twin beds in the Turtle
Bedroom, and a Queen Log Bed in the Master Moose Bedroom upstairs. In addition there is
a King Futon and a fold out sofa-couch. Towels, linens, pots, pans, plates,
and eating utensils are included. Also included are a VCR, color TV, private
phones, BBQ Grill, washer/dryer, and heating and air
conditioning. Remember to bring food, but a variety of small stores
are within 10 miles of us that also rent VHS movies. A public
boat ramp and lake access is less than a mile away at the end of McBride
Road. Also
within 10 miles are gas pumps, marinas, and the only remaining Ferry on
Bull Shoals Lake. In particular, Buck Creek State Park and Boat Dock
is 8 road miles or 4 lake miles away and has camping, swimming, boat and
slip rentals. Buck Creek Boat Dock is a great place to stop for gas, oil,
bait, and sundries while on the lake. Refer to our LINKS page and call
them to reserve a slip.
The Pioneer Store in Protem is about 5 miles away.
This is a great local stop for groceries, gas, video tapes, or ice cream.
Next to them is the Dinner Bell a popular family style restaurant. For
more grocery stores, restaurants, and shopping needs Theodosia is 17
miles away on charming country roads.
The Bull Shoals area features excellent fishing,
hunting, and water sports. Not too far away is Branson, Springfield,
and a number of rural attractions like caves, float trips, golf courses,
Silver Dollar City, and shopping. Our cabin makes a great getaway, business retreat,
family reunion, or
honeymoon spot. If you love nature, you won't believe the quiet beauty and
spectacular views from our deck and porch, and you're likely to see deer,
birds, fox, roadrunners, and other critters around the house. Everything stops for sun downs
at the lodge... they're truly spectacular. Even a friendly game of pocket
billiards, puzzles, or cards seems more fun when you're at Grizzly Turtle
Lodge. A wonderful place to "de-compress" from the stress
and hectic pace of modern life, it's a little slice of heaven just waiting
for you!
