The Reviews Are In & We've Got the Best Vacation Rentals in Town!

Our Lake of the Ozarks vacation rental houses were brand new for us this past summer, and they seem to have been a hit! Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina has two amazing rental houses that are available all year long. 

Our inaugural season made many visitors to the lake very happy. We have gathered a few of the reviews that were left for us this year. After reading about the experiences these people had, we bet you'll want to vacation with us and make a few memories of your own!  





THE RED HOUSE


If you truly want to take your time and experience all that the lake area has to offer, making yourself at home in one of our two rental houses is the way to go. The Red House offers 3,400 square feet of living space and can comfortably sleep up to 13 guests. Both rental homes have lakefront access and panoramic lake views.   

Awesome House
"This house was perfect for our large group, with lots of room to spread out and lots of large tables, inside and out. There are 2 refrigerators and dish washers and plenty of living space. The house is newly remodeled and had everything we needed. The staff at Shorty Pants Marina and at the bar and restaurant were all wonderful and very helpful. The walk from the dock to the house is short, and even better, has a bar in between. Loved this place and we will be back." ~Diane G.




Exactly what we were looking for, great experience!!
"We rented the house for a bachelor party weekend and this setup was perfect for us! It's a non-traditional bach pad set-up, although I don't see why it couldn't be used for a more family oriented trip - it was very clean and nice. We had 11 people, and could have slept several more comfortably. The house is a stone's throw from Shorty Pants Lounge, which I think is under the same ownership. This restaurant / bar was fun to hang out at and had live music. The owners / management team were responsive and accommodating. The grill's propane tank ran out, and within 20 minutes they had gone out to get and delivered a replacement. The house has a spacious upper deck with good patio furniture, as well as a great lower screened in patio with a long table - both were perfect for hanging out and playing games! Highly recommend this as a great getaway spot!

~Tucker W.

Great location next to food and marina.
"The house was perfect four our needs. 4 bedrooms and 4 baths was great for our large group. Everything in the place is brand new so there were no problems. If we had any questions Ashley was just a phone call away. The proximity to food/bar and the marina were great. The two patios gave us plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the weather. Loved that the second patio was screened in. We had a great experience renting from Shorty Pants, and we would definitely do it again!

~Tim G.



Amazing House
"It was obvious that the house has been redone and it looks perfect! Great location right by the lake. I would definitely stay here again." 

~Austin B.


GLASS HOUSE

If the Red House is a little larger than you need, our other house is just as comfortable and inviting. This Lake of the Ozarks vacation rental house boasts 1,500 square feet of living space and sleeps up to 8 guests.  



Great Experience
"The house is adorable and very clean. Just steps from shorty pants restaurant which made dinner easy. They also have a marina which made forgetting a toothbrush an easy fix. Ashley was great to communicate with and left her cell number on the chalkboard inside in case we needed anything. Myself and 7 other girls had a great experience!

~Brandi B.

Awesome place!
"Great experience! Perfect location and had everything we needed!

~Steve L.

Nice home and great location!
"This house has a nice deck & grill. All the amenities you need and more. The place looks new.

~Brett B.

Join Us For the Lake of the Ozarks Bikefest 2016

The lake area is surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery you will find across the nation, which makes this the perfect place for motorcycle enthusiasts to visit. You can enjoy a beautiful and relaxing ride no matter which direction you venture out in. One gorgeous ride is out to our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront restaurant, and once you're here, you can take a break and enjoy our spectacular lake view. 

The 10th Annual Lake of the Ozarks Bikefest will be taking place Thursday-Sunday, September 15-18, 2016.

The 2016 Passport Ride
The biggest reason to purchase a passport for Bikefest is the fact that it encourages you to travel far and wide and really experience many different areas around the lake. Another pretty good reason to join the fun is the fact that you can win your very own 2015 Harley-Davidson Street Bob Breakout Motorcycle! 

It's simple to enter. Pick up your passport for a $20 donation at any of the stops along the way, and every time you visit another stop, get them to stamp it for you. Completed passports need to be turned in to the Official Passport Booth at Lake of the Ozarks Harley-Davidson no later than 2 pm on Sunday, September 18. While you are there, they will have some amazing live music all weekend long on their outdoor stage set up especially for this event. You may turn your passports in during the following times:

Thursday, 9/15: Noon - 6 pm
Friday, 9/16: 8 am - 8 pm
Saturday, 9/17: 8 am - 8 pm

Not Your Average Chicken!
Shorty Pants Lounge is well-known for our amazing Cajun flavor, and chicken is featured in many of our recipes.

Here are a few of our more popular chicken dishes to get your mouth watering.

Blackened Chicken Nachos 
Tortilla chips piled high and smothered in our Turbodog cheese sauce, then topped with spicy chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, green onions, and jalapenos. We serve it along with sides of our salsa and sour cream.
