Trimble Creek Lodge is a resort with the privacy of a Vacation Home, the extras of a Country Inn and the adventure of a 72-acre wilderness-location peninsula on beautiful Bull Shoals Lake. We offer one-of-a-kind vacation experiences for families, reunions and groups of 8-16 in a rustic upscale set-up that includes: A spacious Lodge for gathering, three unique and charming, fully equipped cottages, plus private boat & swim dock, bunkhouse, treehouse, disc golf course and horse shoe pits. We reserve the whole place to one group at a time so you would have sole access to the Lodge, cottages and dock during your stay.
You will find lovely extras here like great beds, fresh flowers, nice sheets, homemade desserts & breads and on-site innkeepers. We live in a cottage attached to the West side of the Lodge, but you cook for yourselves in your kitchens with options to purchase additional home baked breads or desserts. One reason our place is great for families and reunions is our Lodge Common Space – an airy room with cathedral ceilings, plank oak floors and fabulous views overlooking the lake where you can gather day or night for games, conversations, or group meals. Then our guests move to our three cottages for greater sleeping and showering privacy. The mile-long cove where our private dock is situated is not crowded and perfect for skiing, wakeboarding and swimming. In fact some days you will be the only boat in the cove. On Google Earth, find us at the end of the Trimble Creek cove of Bull Shoals Lake – we are the entire peninsula there.
All getaways include many extras including use of free boat slips, stand-up paddleboards and kayaks for the week. In addition we offer Two Free Family Style Desserts or Breads – all homemade here at TCL. Enjoy a hand-churned ice cream event with your family complements of us. Or, try a batch of our TCL Crusty Home-made rolls and Lecy’s brownies, one of our cobblers or carrot cakes to celebrate a birthday or anniversary. Optional Free baking lessons from Lulu, the TCL Cook are fun and popular here among cooks of all ages. Private dock, Wi-Fi and kitchens with everything from coffee to crock-pots make your stay distinctive, simple and relaxed.

Bull Shoals has 1,000 acres of shoreline and the water is beautifully clean. Guests love swimming or just relaxing off our swim dock and enjoying the seclusion of our beautiful natural location. This lake is so large, you can boat or water ski without getting close to other boats – one of the reasons families love this place. We are located on a 72-acre peninsula in a wilderness area, have a great swim and boat dock with 28-foot slips, electricity, and a fish cleaning station. Our dock is for our guests only in a private cove on what many think is the most beautiful lake in the Ozarks. We have slips for your boats or jet skis, and you can also rent watercraft from 2 nearby marinas - 125 Marina or Buck Creek Marina. We also have 2 Kayaks, 2 youth size Stand Up Paddle Boards and a Jon boat available for our guests to use during their stay here.
