1. Ha Ha Tonka State Park


Imposing architecture and breathtaking scenery combine to make Ha Ha Tonka State Park one of Missouri’s most treasured spots. Ha Ha Tonka State Park is a state-owned, public recreation area encompassing over 3,700 acres on the Niangua arm of the Lake of the Ozarks about 5 miles south of Camdenton. The park features the stone ruins of a turn-of-the-20th-century castle, and more than 15 miles of trails traverse the park, leading visitors to sinkholes, natural bridges, caves, a natural spring and down to the Lake.

2. Lake of the Ozarks State Park


Lake of the Ozarks State Park, the largest park in Missouri, has a little something for everyone. From fishing and swimming to hiking and exploring, this park offers a variety of activities for people of all ages. There are two public swimming beaches to enjoy in the summertime. With 12 different trails winding their way through the park, there's plenty of exploring and exercise to be had.

3. Bagnell Dam Overlook


Ameren Missouri's scenic overlook, located on Upper Power Plant Road, provides a spectacular view of Bagnell Dam and the Lake of the Ozarks. The overlook features displays with information about the lake and dam, including a view of the Osage River valley before the dam was built. One of the original turbines used to power the dam’s electric generators is also on display.

4. Willmore Lodge


Perched on a wooded hillside north of Bagnell Dam, historic Willmore Lodge houses one of the best free attractions at the Lake of the Ozarks. This unique log building was completed in 1930, and is now preserved as a historic site. It houses the history of the Lake of the Ozarks region, telling stories of the Osage River, the monumental engineering project that became Bagnell Dam and the development of the Lake of the Ozarks, one of the largest man-made lakes in the country.

The famous “Swinging Bridges of Brumley” are a sight and experience not to be missed at the Lake of the Ozarks! Located just west of Brumley, these two historic suspension bridges offer a great place to enjoy nature.

The Edge of Your Seat

While the topic of seating at your Lake of the Ozarks vacation rental may not be the most exciting topic to discuss, it certainly can play a major role in securing rentals for your property. This is one of those items that gets overlooked, especially in larger homes or condos, especially those owned by someone with a small family.

How Many People Does Your Home Sleep? 


This may seem like common sense to most people, but you should have dining seating and deck seating for the number of guests that your home or condo sleeps. For instance, if you have a two bedroom condo and it sleeps six guests, then you should have dining seating (including the breakfast bar) for a total of six guests. If you have a large home that sleeps 16, then you need dining seating for 16 guests.

Dining Room Seating 


You would not believe the number of large homes or condos at the Lake of the Ozarks that I have seen in the past 13 years that were just a little short on their dining and deck seating. Picture yourself arriving to a three bedroom home with your eight guests and you walk into a home that had no dining table and only 3-4 bar stools at the breakfast bar. In this true life situation, I had to persuade the owner of the home that he really needed a table, in addition to his breakfast bar. His family only had four people so it never really crossed his mind that he needed extra seating for his rental guests.

Living Area Seating  


This same thought process should also extend to the living area. You should be able to seat most of your guests in the living area. If you sleep eight then you need to think about seating at least five to six guests in the living area. If your living area doesn’t look inviting and is not able to accommodate the number of guests that could potentially stay in your home or condo, then your potential guest may look for a property that has more seating so that they will be more comfortable.

Deck Seating 


The same goes for the deck. Guests love to relax outside by the water or on a deck overlooking the water. You should have plenty of deck seating, a table and a few lounge chairs that together will seat at least the number of guests that your home or condo will sleep.

Guests like to dine and relax together and you need to ensure that this item has not been overlooked. Having the proper seating arrangements can give you an edge over your competition.
