Woodland Retreat with Private Pool and Boat Parking near Truman Lake

Experience Fall at Boulder Hollow Hideaway – A Peaceful Truman Lake Area Getaway

Autumn is one of the most beautiful times of year here—our favorite season! The hickory trees turn golden, fall wildflowers bloom, and warm days linger just long enough to keep the pool open. (Please inquire for pool availability after September 15.) Local fall festivals pop up around the area, and the cooler temps make for perfect fishing weather on the lake.

Our cozy and well-appointed walkout basement apartment offers everything you need for a comfortable stay: a spacious king bedroom, large living room, oversized walk-in shower, and a generous kitchenette area for easy meals and snacks.

Step outside and discover what truly makes our place special:
600 sq. ft. of covered deck space with a dining area, Weber grill, lounge area, porch swing, bar, dart board, and a private above-ground pool with its own sun deck. At night, gather around the lit firepit under the stars.

Wander the garden paths, visit our quarter-acre pond, and meet our giant Blue Catfish (feeding only, no fishing allowed). The property is surrounded by lush forest with large boulder gardens at each end of the yard—our namesake. Lit walking paths let you enjoy the outdoors day or night.

For fishing enthusiasts, Windsor Crossing (Tebo Creek arm) is just 3 miles away—a quiet launch spot for crappie fishing and perfect for kayakers (ask us about directions to the old quarry site for a great kayak/swimming experience)—while Long Shoal Marina is 8 miles in the other direction, with boat slips available. A fish cleaning station is provided on-site, and we’ll happily compost the waste in our garden.

Nearby favorites include boat rentals at Hickory Hollow Resort (2 miles), plus local spots like Dollar General, Running Wild BBQ food truck, Frank’s Fish Shack, and Donna’s Diner—famous for the best tenderloin around. NOTE: restaurants nearby are usually closed earlier in the week so be sure to check first for hours of operation.
