Welcome New Members!!
Welcome to Peaceful Valley Lake Estates, one of the premiere lake developments in central Missouri. PVL offers its members and their families several amenities, to include access to our beautiful 180 acre lake, a campground complete with electrical hook-ups and bathhouse, a marina for temporarily docking boats, a beautifully landscaped gazebo area, a swimming pool and wading pool, a swimming beach and picnic area, and a lodge that contains recently remodeled bathroom and shower facilities, a small kitchen area, and two floors of open space suitable for hosting parties and receptions. Both the gazebo and lodge are available for rent for private use--see the information at the "Amenities: Pool, Campground, Fishing, Lodge Rental" link to the left.
PVL started in the mid-1960s as one of many lake developments in central and southeast Missouri. Conveniently located an hour and a half west of St. Louis, PVL offers the amenities already mentioned above, with some key exceptions. Most of the other lake developments had few or no restrictions on mobile homes, size of residential buildings (or any buildings for that matter), and most relied on septic systems and well water rather than a sewage treatment system and community water service.
PVL went a different direction and put in place rules and regulations designed (1) to maintain the integrity of the development and, (2) to ensure that the lake and its environment retains its value and protects your investment. For example, there are building restrictions dealing with new construction or modifications which must be approved by the board of directors. In addition the developers built a water and sewage system that provides members with state-inspected and approved water and sanitation. These restrictions and guidelines have allowed PVL to stand the test of time for the last 50+ years and, with your cooperation and adherence to the rules and regulations listed below, we can look forward to another 50+ years of fun in the sun at Peaceful Valley Lake.
