Planning a Lake of the Ozarks Vacation? Stay With Us!

A Lake of the Ozarks vacation should be on your list of things to do this year. If you don't already have a home in the area, one of the first things you should take care of is finding a place to stay. Our waterfront vacation rental houses at the Lake of the Ozarks are perfect for groups both large and small and best of all, they are located right next door to Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina! 

There are tons of fun things going on around the lake area year-round and especially in the summertime. Making reservations early gives you a much better chance at snagging the most popular dates. Here is a closer look at exactly what you'll find inside these spacious vacation house rentals, plus reviews from people that have already enjoyed staying with us.  

The Glass House
Both of our lakefront vacation houses are located in Osage Beach off Hwy. KK on the 21-mile marker. The Glass House contains 1,500 square feet of living space with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and the ability to sleep up to 8 comfortably. 

You'll find all the comforts of home, including a washer and dryer, full kitchen, and a gas grill on the 44-foot deck. A courtesy dock is available upon request for your boating needs and we have partnered with BomBay Boat Rentals to bring you the option to rent a watercraft during your stay. Shorty Pants Marina has a full-service gas dock and a convenience store. 

"Wonderful Long Weekend
We spent a long weekend at The Glass House with two other couples and had a wonderful time. The house was very clean and decor was perfect for a lake house getaway. The boys loved playing the arcade game while waiting for the ladies to get ready to head out for an adventure. Location was perfect as just across the street from Shorty Pants Lounge where we were able to stop in for a convenient and tasty meal! I highly recommend this property for your vacation!" ~Kirsten P.

"Amazing
The Glass House was amazing. Went for a girls weekend and everything was perfect. Nice and clean, great decor, fully equipped kitchen, and plenty of towels. For sure would book again." ~Sash B.

"House on Lake - Osage Beach
Great place. Spacious and just across from Shorty Pants. Easy access to all. Quality throughout from linens, to dishware, and furniture. Very nice place to stay and owner was great with quick answers to any questions." ~Becky Y. 

The Red House

Next door, the Red House also contains all the comforts of home needed to enjoy a relaxing stay plus the same, gorgeous lake views as the Glass House. This property is larger at 3,400 square feet of living space and has two 44-foot decks. There are 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and this house can accommodate up to 16 guests. There is also an apartment-like space detached from the house that we call the "Love Shack."  

"Perfect House for Large Group/Family
This house has everything you need; plenty of space, screened in porch with a huge table for hanging out in the evenings, enough bathrooms for all guests, TWO kitchens, and a great deck (you can listen to the live music from Shorty 

Pants which we loved). We will definitely stay there again, thank you for making my wife's 30th birthday a great weekend!!!" ~Dan G.

"Great time!!!
LOVED the house. Just enough room for our family trip. Enjoyed the decks, being able to sit and just watch the scenery. House very well equipped for your needs. Loved the Shorty Pants Lounge! Excellent dinner there. Nature at its best, as I couldn't believe the amount of deer we saw. Always in the drive in the mornings. Great walking area, well maybe not the hills, but sure got lots of exercise... Beautiful place and enjoyed it tremendously. Thanks so much! Can't wait to go again!!!" ~Brenda L.

"Absolutely Breathtaking!!!!!!!
This property was so incredible! Beautiful and so clean and new! Has literally everything you need in it! Ashley was so amazing and helpful with everything! We are already planning our next trip! If you are looking for a great place on the lake look no further! This is the place! Thank you so much Ashley for everything! I wish I could give more than five stars!!!!" ~Julie J.

Book Our Vacation House Rental for Fall at the Lake of the Ozarks

Currently, our Lake of the Ozarks vacation rental houses are booked up for Shootout Weekend and Labor Day Weekend, but the fun at the lake doesn't end after the Labor Day holiday. Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina stays open well into the fall because not only are there still all kinds of things to do in the lake area at that time, but the view when the leaves begin turning is something incredible to experience. 

Another bonus to visiting the Lake of the Ozarks in the fall is the fact that the pace is a little slower and more laid back than you regularly find mid-Summer. (Unless, of course, you're here for Bikefest, September 12-16, 2018. Things get crowded that weekend, but oh, so much fun!) If you're considering a fall vacation at the Lake of the Ozarks, the following reviews from some of this summer's visitors will convince you that you want to stay right here with us.

The Glass House
The Glass House offers 1,500 square feet of living space and can easily house up to 8 guests. These reviews were taken from the Glass House booking page. 

"Wonderful long weekend!
We spent a long weekend at The Glass House with two other couples and had a wonderful time. The house was very clean and decor was perfect for a lake house get away. The boys loved playing the arcade game while waiting for the ladies to get ready to head out for an adventure. Location was perfect as just across the street from Shorty Pants Lounge where we were able to stop in for a convenient and tasty meal! I highly recommend this property for your vacation!"

"We loved the Glass House.
My family and I stayed during the week over Independence Day. Ashley was great, answered all of our questions (believe me we texted a lot!) There are some pool noodles there, plenty of towels and we were excited to learn we could use a couple of paddleboards and a kayak. Bill down at the marina was super friendly, we enjoyed free popsicles and got to use their pump to inflate our giant floaties. Dinner at Shorty Pants was delicious, my husband is from New Orleans and he agrees their Cajun food was great! The master bedroom upstairs is the smallest room and there was no place in that room to put clothes (no closet or dresser) but the bathroom attached is a good trade off. The other two bedrooms are good sized both with a closet and one had a dresser as well. All the rooms had a nice lake view. Even though they had a same day turn around on check out she still gave us an extra 30 minutes to check out. Believe me with a 5 year old and 10 month old that was a HUGE help. Fun decor, had all the necessities and super nice host. Thanks for a great trip!"

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The house was clean, had plenty of beds, bathrooms, towels, kitchen items, etc. the view was beautiful & convenient to the restaurant and marina. Would highly recommend!! Thanks so much!!"
~Dawn P.

"Beautiful home - can't wait to go back.
This home is stunning & was absolutely perfect for 16 of us this past weekend. We had so much fun and Ashley was so accommodating to all of our needs from the get-go. Can't wait to book it again next summer. Thank you Ashley for everything!!!"
~Aubrey L.

"Everything we were wanting and more!
Right off the bat, Ashley was quick to respond and super helpful with anything we needed. The house was so spacious and clean. We had 11 people stay here and we all had more than enough space. It was so nice being as close as we were to the Shorty Pants Marina too. I would definitely stay here again and I would recommend it to anyone!"
~Jillian L.

December Fun at the Lake of the Ozarks - and You Can Stay With Us!

The lake area is beautiful in every season, and if you haven't had the joy of seeing it in the fall and winter, then you really should make the effort to get yourself here soon. We've got the perfect vacation rental houses at the Lake of the Ozarks for you to stay in during your visit that are spacious, comfortable, and centrally located with an amazing lake view. In case you need more incentive than the natural beauty of the area, Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina has come up with a list of some fun things to do in December while you are here.   

Holiday Shopping
Tis the season to frantically search for the perfect gifts for everyone on your list! The lake area has lots of wonderful places for you to do just that. You'll find name brand stores that you are familiar with at the Outlet Mall and the other shopping centers. There are also lots of smaller, local shops with unique and amazing items you won't find anyplace else. Our Lake of the Ozarks vacation rental houses are centrally located in Osage Beach, so you're never very far away from great shopping, no matter which direction you travel. 

Holiday Lights & Activities
If you'd like to take in a few sights and sounds of this festive season, there are lots of options available to you throughout the month of December. For holiday lights, parades, cruises on the lake, and entertaining shows, this is the place to be! A few that you may enjoy are:  

• Osage Beach Holiday Lights in the Park
  Osage Beach City Park is filled with a free drive-through light display through December 31, and there are also many displays up for you to enjoy along Osage Beach Parkway.

Deck the Docks goes out from 5:30-8 pm to view the many holiday displays on the water every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday through December 30. Their Frosty Float is fun for the entire family on December 3 & 10 with daytime cruises at 10 am, 1:30 pm, and 5 pm. These include children's activities, Christmas carols, and a visit from Santa.  
• Christmas on Main Street
  The Main Street Music Hall in the Landing in Osage Beach will be putting on their holiday show through December 17. It's filled with music, laughter, and incredible entertainment for all ages. 

A Quiet Retreat From the Holiday Hustle

Both houses are tucked away just past Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina, and each features the same breathtaking lake view that you enjoy from our restaurant every summer. (Just with fewer leaves on the trees!) 

The Glass House can hold up to 8 guests, which is perfect for a family getaway or a weekend away with a few friends. It's 1,500 square feet of living space has 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, a washer & dryer, and a full kitchen with everything you might need during your stay except the food. There are also some lovely decks to sit outside on if the weather allows.
