You Need a Fall Vacation at the Lake of the Ozarks

The fun at the lake doesn't end with Labor Day. On the contrary, there is still plenty of time to enjoy a lot of "summer" activities before the weather gets cold plus lots of fun fall events to attend. If you need a place to stay while you're in town, that's where Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina can come in handy! 

We have not just 1, but 2 of the best vacation house rentals at the Lake of the Ozarks sitting right next door, and we'd love to have you stay with us. First, we'll tell you a little about our spacious waterfront vacation rentals, followed by some of the irresistible fall events happening close by.

The Best Vacation Rentals
The Glass House offers 1500 square feet of living space and can easily house up to 8 guests. The Red House boasts 3,400 square feet of living space and can sleep up to 16. Both offer plenty of room to bring the whole family along or a large group of friends for a relaxing fall stay at the lake. 

Both houses have an amazing lake view with large decks to sit on and admire it from. They contain all the comforts of home you'll need during your stay and are only a short walk away from Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina.  



Annual Fall Events
Tales of the breathtaking scenery surrounding the lake area should be enough to convince you to travel this way during the fall. In case you need a bit more incentive than that, here is a look at some of the upcoming fall events at the Lake of the Ozarks.

Camdenton Memorial Lake Regional Airport

Get The Led Out: The American Led Zeppelin - Sept. 22
