Ways to Love Lake of the Ozarks
To help you navigate Missouri's vast (and vastly popular) Lake of the Ozarks, we've picked some essential experiences that will put you on the fast track to vacation mode.
Lake of the Ozarks: where to stay
Some of our favorite lodgings are listed below, but the Lake of the Ozarks' website lists nearly 200 more. Choose from resorts, inns, cabins, condo rentals and even houseboats. Expect to spend an afternoon clicking through websites and making phone calls. If you choose a cabin on the lake's peaceful west side, you'll sacrifice convenience. When you book, ask owners how long it takes to get to the business district (i.e. groceries) in Osage Beach.
