5 Tips for Planning a Family Reunion

Family reunions are a great way to re-connect with people in your family that you rarely get to see. There's no better place to hold your family reunion than the #1 recreational Lake in the country. Not only are there a variety of activities for everyone to enjoy, but the central location makes it the perfect gathering place for families spread out across the country. In today's blog, your favorite Lake of the Ozarks vacation rental company offers some tips for planning a great family reunion.

1. Start Early. 

Planning a family reunion is a big undertaking, so be sure to give yourself enough time. Attendees may need to request vacation time from work and some may need to save money to afford the trip. You also need time to research accommodations, caterers, etc. The earlier you start, the better off you'll be.

2. Enlist Help.  

Don't try planning the entire event yourself. There's a lot of upfront work involved to plan the perfect get-together. Involve people from different areas of the family. Survey your family members and ask for volunteers to help you with the planning process. Delegate your planning tasks to several family members and the stress of planning such a big event will be lessened.

3. Stick to Your Date. 

Choosing the date to host your family reunion could be the most difficult decision you have to make. Before choosing the date, check for any conflicts already set such as weddings, graduations and milestone birthdays or anniversaries. Once you pick a date, you need to stick to it. You're going to have some people that can't attend, but that's okay. If you are continuously trying to change the date to please everyone, you aren't going to get anything else done.

4. Get a Head Count. 

Once your date and location have been chosen, it's time to start looking into accommodations. Many resorts and condos offer group discounts for these types of events. You'll need to get a head count to determine availability and pricing. Choose several possible locations, get the pricing and availability, and then present it to the group. Keep a budget in mind as some members of your family could be tight on money and you want everyone to have the opportunity to attend. You'll also need a head count if you choose to cater any meals or do any group activities.

5. Plan Activities & Downtime. 

While it's good to plan some group activities that everyone can enjoy, it's also good to include some downtime. Spending too much time around family you don't see that often can get exhausting and a break could be nice. For many, this family reunion could be the only vacation they take this year. Possibly have a list of optional activities you've researched and let each individual family do a few things on their own if they wish. Make sure you include activities for every age.

Now is the time to get your Lake of the Ozarks accommodations locked in, and take advantage of those group rates before availability is slim. In addition to helping you choose the perfect waterfront homes or condos at the Lake of the Ozarks, we can recommend the best activities and restaurants in the area. Since 1986 we've helped thousands of guests with their vacation planning. To get started planning the perfect family reunion at the Lake of the Ozarks, give us a call at 877-284-0267.

7 Useful Items Your Vacation Rental NEEDS To Have

What sort of items should you have available to make your vacation rental at the Lake of the Ozarks stand apart from the rest? The local market offers over a thousand vacation properties, so there's plenty of competition when it comes to finding renters for yours. In today's blog, we offer a few suggestions to property owners to help attract more renters.

1. Wireless Internet

The first thing should be obvious in today's environment, you must have Wi-Fi. If your home or condo at the Lake of the Ozarks doesn't have it, you will miss out on a large number of potential renters. Everyone wants to feel connected; they want to check their email, scroll through Facebook and not have to use all their data up while on vacation.

2. Flat Screen TVs

You should also have a large (40 inches or more) flat screen TV in the living room, family room or entertainment room. Other TV's throughout the home or condo should also all be flat screens and the appropriate size for the room. If you have any box TVs, you should get rid of them. They make your property look dated in your pictures and potential renters will move on to the properties that have flat screen TVs.

3. Blu-ray & DVD Players

Along those same lines, be sure to get rid of your old VHS player. The only reason you might keep a VHS player in your rental home is if you have a large library of VHS tapes available for your guests. Otherwise, all it does is date your property. You might as well install an 8 track or cassette player to go with it! If you have a VHS/DVD combo, that is acceptable. However, your main TV should have a Blu-ray DVD player, which plays regular and Blu-ray discs. Having only a regular DVD player limits what your guests can watch.

4. USB Ports 

Another item you should have is USB ports around the condo or home at the Lake of the Ozarks. The kitchen is a good spot or some owners have them attached to the lamps in the bedrooms, which is another great idea. This is a great convenience for your guests, as most charger cords attach to USB ports.

5. Kitchen Equipment

In the kitchen, you should have at least a four-hole toaster and a coffee maker that makes enough cups of coffee compared to the number of guests your property sleeps. Also make sure you have items such as a pizza pan, a blender, a mixer, etc. so that your guests can cook a variety of things during their stay. The advantage of having a well-equipped kitchen is so that your guests can save money by not eating out for every meal.

6. King Beds

In the master bedroom, you should always have a king bed. If guests have one at home, they want one on vacation, and if they don't well, they want one on vacation. You would not believe how many of our guests demand a king bed.

7. Keyless Entry 

Finally, if you don't have keyless entry, you are behind the times. Get with the program and updated your property to prepare for the 21st century! Happy Renting!

Sticking to Your New Year's Resolution to Travel More

With the new year here, many of you have made resolutions and set goals for yourself in 2017. Many popular resolutions focus a lot on eating healthy, exercising more and losing weight. However, there are many other resolutions to consider, like saving more money and traveling more. In today's blog, Your Lake Vacation offers a few tips for sticking to your new year's resolution to travel more!

Benefits of Travel 

Many people dream of traveling more, taking a break from their day-to-day lives, yet many never actually do it. The benefits of travel are many and you should take a regular vacation for more reasons than to just have fun. Both the human body and mind need to rest to function well. Occasionally, you need to just relax, and for more than just one or two days. Taking a vacation can relieve stress, make you feel happier, improve your immune system, lengthen your lifespan and more!

Tips for Sticking to It 

Keeping your new year's resolutions is one of the hardest things to do. Many people jump into the new year knowing they want to make resolutions, but having no plan on how to actually make them happen. Here are few tips to help you get on the right track for keeping your resolution to travel more this year:

1. Save More and Spend Less. 

No matter where you're planning to travel in 2017, you're likely going to need to save up money for the trip. Something to start now, at the beginning of the year, is a budget. One of the most important things you can do is realize where exactly all the money you have is going. There are apps you can download to help you stay organized, on track and on budget. Be sure to add a section into your budget where you set money aside for travel.

2. Don't Get Burnt Out. 

If you deprive yourself of every luxury you used to take, you're likely to quit on your resolution before the month's end. Rather than going cold turkey and not spending any money on anything other than what's absolutely necessary, take small steps. Maybe start by not swinging into Starbucks every morning on your way to work. Maybe skip your bi-weekly nail appointment. How many subscriptions are you signed up for that are unnecessary? There are little things you spend a few dollars on here and there that you don't even think about anymore, but they can really add up.

3. Be Willing to Embrace New Things. 

People who achieve their new year's resolutions are willing to embrace a lifestyle change. Whether your goals are health related, money related or something else, a lifestyle change is your key to success. Albert Einstein said, "If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got." Being mindful is also key to sticking to any goal. Be aware of your day-to-day actions and what their results are.

Where there's a will, there's a way! Where do you want to travel this year? The Lake of the Ozarks is the perfect small step for anyone looking to travel more in 2017. It's central location makes it the perfect meeting place for family and friends across the Midwest.
