Our two nights stay at WorldMark Lake of the Ozarks in Osage Beach, MO, was wonderful and…read morecomfortable. Check-in was quick and easy. Dilip who checked us in was super friendly and nice. Thank you Sir! Lobby area had lots of board games, fun stuff, movies, and more for guests to enjoy. Inside has really nice space to sit and relax. There is a small desk with one computer for guest use. This relaxing lakeside resort has multiple buildings. There are stairs and elevators. Free self-parking available. Amenities include seasonal outdoor pool & children's pool, year-round hot tubs, community BBQ area, fitness center, arcade/game room, basketball court, and children's play area. Our two bedroom unit was quite spacious, very clean, and cozy. It allows a maximum of 6 guests. My eldest daughter and I didn't need the extra space, but we appreciate having our own room which was nice. Living room has a pull down murphy bed if you prefer to sleep in an open space. Kitchen was fully equipped with the essential kitchenware and liquid detergents. Bathroom conveniently had complimentary shampoo, body wash, hand soap, and lotion. Washer and dryer plus laundry powder detergent were in the unit which is a big plus in my book. Fireplace was present, but wasn't used. Small patio with table and chairs for relaxing and viewing of the beautiful lake. This may be our one and only visit at this resort since we don't live nearby. We added this stay in MO as part of our Route 66 Centennial Celebration road trip in June 2026. I am grateful I got a chance to stay here. One more WM resort checked off my WM resort adventures list. Thank you for the warm and welcoming hospitality. Highly recommend for anyone who loves vacationing at the lake. Enjoy your WM stay!

The property itself is beautiful, comfortable, and luxurious--the mattresses and pillows are made for a fantastic night's sleep. We loved the saltwater pool, which felt amazingly soft and therapeutic. The restaurant was great, though I definitely recommend making reservations in advance; the bar was packed while we waited for a table, but that was on me for not planning ahead! The back nine of the golf course offered breathtaking scenery and some enjoyably challenging hills--hands down the best golfing experience I've ever had. I've always loved the natural beauty of Southern Missouri and Arkansas, and in my opinion, this is the most stunning course around. On top of that, the golf club staff was fantastic, that time around. With our recent return to Old Kinderhook this past August, much of the resort continued to impress. The culinary options throughout the property were outstanding, the saltwater pools remained a highlight, and the hotel staff provided great service. Securing dinner reservations in advance elevated our dining experience even further. However, a couple of areas could use attention: the bedding and pillows seem ready for replacement, & due to the resort's location in a valley, the air can feel quite damp unless the room's air conditioning is set to a notably chilly temperature. Major Disappointment at the Golf Club in 2026: Hostile Atmosphere: The pro shop staff made us feel unwelcome. The overall vibe felt hyper-rigid, full of alienating unwritten rules, and completely non-inclusive. Overbearing Staff: While we respect pace of play, the marshal checked in on us so constantly that it completely disrupted our game. Course Conditions: The front section felt poorly maintained--wooded, but lacking the basic care and upkeep seen at other comparable courses. Poor Value: We only made it through six holes before leaving, received no refund, and paid nearly 200% of our 2024 package price for a vastly inferior experience.

From the fully stocked pool towels, the spotless rooms, the clean fresh scent everywhere, and the well maintained facilities and amenities - nothing here has been allowed to slide. Everything is open longer than other hotels, the service is fast and friendly, outside is well lit and spotless. Chain hotels around here charge more, and offer much less. I highly recommend!

FIVE-STAR REVIEW: Kinderhook Castle & Maureen - A Thanksgiving Dream Come True!…read more If you are looking for the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and unforgettable hospitality, Kinderhook Castle is exactly where you need to be. My family just wrapped up our Thanksgiving Kickback there, and let me tell you--it was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, Maureen made us feel like we were coming home. Her warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail are unmatched. Every question was answered, every need anticipated, and every part of our experience was touched with her personal care. She truly treats her guests like family. The Castle itself? Absolutely breathtaking. The décor, the views, the spacious rooms, the beautifully appointed kitchen, the cozy fireplaces--every corner offered something special. Our family had room to bond, relax, laugh, cook, and celebrate without ever feeling crowded. It was the perfect backdrop for creating priceless memories. What stood out most was how everything felt intentional: Immaculate cleanliness Smooth communication Thoughtful touches throughout the home A peaceful atmosphere that wrapped our entire family in comfort Maureen and Kinderhook Castle turned our Thanksgiving into a weekend we will treasure forever. My family is still raving about the stay, and we are already talking about coming back. If you want a place where your family can truly unwind, connect, and experience luxury at its finest--book Kinderhook Castle. And if you have the privilege of working with Maureen, consider yourself blessed. Highly, highly recommended!

Felt a bit mislead. 4 of us adults stayed Thursday thru Sunday 9/20 thru 9/23/18. We both had…read moremotorhomes and wanted to pull in and back in; so our patios faced. We stayed in sites 1 & 2 on the lake "front" area. Frank the owner met us and I questioned the lake front sites and the price as our sites were really "creek view" at best with views of the Cozy Cove mobile home area and their marina. He said we could stay at the campground if we wanted, but at $40 a night, we figured we'd stay by the "lake" for an extra $10. The hook ups were set so that you really had to back in to use them. Luckily for us, there was some PVC pipe laying around, so we were able to get in far enough to dump and then maneuver into place facing the "lake". Our friends who backed in never had a lakeview unless they walked behind our coaches and sat at the picnic table. We had a fire ring that was filthy and full of cigarette butts, plus an old bbq grill that looked like someone just left it, but at least we were able to move the fire ring towards the "lake". I have a new appreciation for KOA campgrounds cuz at least for the price you pay, you get a nice clean site when you arrive. Luckily there were some good sized fallen branches that we could burn cuz I didn't know they sold wood till I saw and asked Frank on Sunday after it was too late. Also beware...there are a lot of neighborhood dogs that roam the area off leash AND beware that the lake sites are literally 4 to 6 feet off the main road. This could be crazy loud/annoying during peak summer season. Despite all this, we still had a good time here because we were with great friends. I would have given this place 4 stars if it wasn't so spendy for what you get (or don't get in this case). Will we ever stay again...probably not. Did we have fun, yes. Pros -Papa Chubbys. They had a live band Friday but their Saturday band cancelled due to rain that never came...they also had great Pina Coladas and a nice beach area -It's pretty quiet during off season - Friends were able to pick us up at Papa Chubbys with their boat - Grocery store about 3 miles away - Close to community bridge but it is a toll bridge that cost $3 each way. CONS of lakesites Over priced Bogus Lakeview from sites 1 & 2 Neighborhood dogs running free Campsites right next to main road No dumpsters near No bath/shower house near No dump station
