December Events at the Lake of the Ozarks

Posted in Things To Do by

December is the season of togetherness, family, and reflecting on all that happened this year.

We’ve so enjoyed having all our guests – that includes you – down to the Lake of the Ozarks!

Even though December isn’t known as the “peak” time at the lake, we’re grateful for those who are making the trek with their families or friends to stay with us. If you’re planning a last minute getaway for 2013, be sure to search for our properties that have fireplaces and/or a hot tub! There’s no better way to stay cozy during your vacation!

Also, the Lake of the Ozarks Convention & Visitor Bureau just put out their list of events happening in and around the lake in December.
