Charming Lakefront Condo Retreat on MM12
Traci’s place was perfect for our needs. Went spent a week here for our 24th anniversary. We really couldn’t ask for more. Lake of the Ozarks has so much to do and everything was within a 15-20 minute drive from Tracis place. It rained several days and the condo was a perfect place to hang out and chill. Loved the deck so much.. turtles, ducks, geese and baby geese to watch swim in the water was an add bonus of nature. We would recommend anyone to Traci’s place. The price was so much better than a hotel plus plenty of room to just hang on a gloomy day. Everything you need (besides food lol) is there for you to cook a perfect meal. If we get back to the Ozarks we would definitely stay here again.

AJ Lake Condo Waterfront *Lake Life Living*
We had a fantastic stay at William's place! The Condo was exactly as described—clean and very comfortable. The bed was incredibly cozy, and we appreciated the thoughtful touch of coffee. The location was perfect—just a short walk to both the indoor and outdoor pools. It felt safe and quiet at night, which was ideal for relaxing after a busy day of sightseeing. Check-in was smooth with clear instructions. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

Serene Waterscape Ozark Getaway - Grill & BoatSlip
This condo was perfect for our group. It fit all six of us comfortably, and the location couldn’t have been better—right off HH and close to everything we wanted to do. The views were absolutely unreal. We caught ourselves just standing out on the balcony soaking it all in more than once. Easy check-in, and just an all-around great place to stay.

Beautiful condo with an amazing view, especially at sunrise. The screened dining area was nice for enjoying the warm afternoons and the beds were extremely comfortable. Justin was a very accommodating host.

Great spot for a quick weekend trip! Peaceful and everything was really convenient. Easy walk up and down from the dock, great outdoor spaces to hangout, overall highly recommend!

Janet is a great host. She was very communicative and prompt. The location of Janet's house is fantastic as well. Its 5-7 minutes from everything. On the lake...with a dock! Really couldn't as for more. It was just some boys enjoying the lake and with floaties, dock, pool table, good wifi, we have everything we needed to enjoy the weekend.

Eagles Nest LOTO 18-1A
Micheal was super kind and thoughtful and took care of anything we needed right away. It snowed quite a bit during our stay and he was out right away clearing the walkways in the freezing temps. Everything was clean and nice and we’re thankful to have stayed here.

Waterfront Cottage & Dock w/ Beautiful View - 5MM
We had a nice stay. The lake views and sunsets were pleasant, but we didn’t realize the water would still be too cold for swimming. It would probably be a better experience later in spring or summer when the weather is warmer.

Lake It Easy this summer in our Calm Family Cove.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful lakeside property. The place was spacious, clean, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The outdoor space was a highlight, with lovely decks to enjoy morning coffee and evenings outside. Our host was incredibly welcoming & provided the cutest welcome gifts! Overall it was a fantastic getaway, can’t wait to return to Lake it Easy!!

Updated Condo in Osage Beach + Boat Slip
The condo was great and would stay here again. We had a bit of trouble finding the place because we didn’t read the details thoroughly and Brittany answered our question immediately. Views were great. Very handy having access to a washer and dryer.

LAKE FRONT~ Private/Updated ~New Deck Sleeps 8-10
The house exactly matched the pictures and has a terrific back deck on the lake. It was a bit cozier than expected, but worked great for our family of four (this wouldn't be much of an issue during the summer with more time outside). For our winter stay, it was terrifically peaceful and well appointed, we especially appreciated the gas range and outdoor cooking options. Finding the house was a bit treacherous in the dark and rainy night we arrived, but Kim's instructions made it much easier than it could have been.

Your guide to Lake of the Ozarks
All About Lake of the Ozarks
One of the Midwest’s most popular destinations for high-energy outdoor activities and low-key rest and relaxation, the snake-shaped Lake of the Ozarks winds through Missouri’s northern Ozark Mountains. Thanks to the lake’s unique shape, there are more than 1,100 miles of shoreline to enjoy, making it easy to find your own little slice of paradise.
Bagnell Dam — which is responsible for the reservoir that forms the lake — is the largest landmark in the area, and you’ll find arcades, ice cream shops, souvenir stalls, and more along the hopping Bagnell Dam Strip. The largest city in the area is Osage Beach, which is filled with boats anchored at lakeside bars, restaurants, and shopping outlets. Big-name musicians are regularly booked at the Ozarks Amphitheater, and popular plays, musicals, and dance troupes can be found at The Royal Theater. On the quieter side of the lake, known as the Niangua arm, you’ll find Bridal Cave, Ha Ha Tonka State Park, and more family-oriented restaurants and activities.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Lake of the Ozarks
The weather is warm enough for beach lounging in spring and hot enough for swimming, boating, and water sports during the summer, but although these are some of the most popular times to visit, expect plenty of humidity and rain during these seasons as well. Fall brings cooler temperatures and fewer opportunities for lake activities, but it also welcomes a new season of excitement thanks to the annual Fall Festival and the Versailles Apple Festival, which are both held in early October and offer live music, vendors, and events around the area. Winters are cold with occasional snowfalls, but dedicated fishing enthusiasts can catch plenty of bass, and those brave enough to face the icy waters can participate in the annual Polar Plunge held in late February.
Top things to do in Lake of the Ozarks
Lake of the Ozarks State Park
Missouri’s largest state park was designed to help visitors maximize their opportunities for outdoor adventure on and around the lake with paved boat ramps, boat rentals, two public beaches for swimming, 13 trails for hiking and horseback riding, and picnic areas. Don’t miss the chance to explore the Ozark Caverns, where you can see multiple species of salamanders and bats, either on your own or with a park guide.
Osage Beach
The center of commerce and entertainment in the Lake of the Ozarks, this small city on the eastern bank exudes energy, especially during the summer months. Most bars and restaurants have nautical themes, live music or DJs, dance floors, and many even have their own pools. Osage Beach is also the best place to book parasailing excursions or to rent boats, paddleboards, and other watercraft.
Ha Ha Tonka State Park
About five miles from Camdentown lies a truly unique state park that provides visitors with a taste of a European vacation in the heart of Missouri: The towering ruins of a stone castle from 1905 serve as the focal point for this 3,700-acre protected park. Situated along the lake’s no-wake zone, this quiet wooded area has 14 hiking trails, natural bridges, a spring, small caves, picnic areas, and lake access.
