The Fall Atmosphere

The Lake of the Ozarks is the perfect setting to host a spectacular Thanksgiving. The hardwood forests display vibrant hues of red, yellow, and orange, the Lake is calm, and the air is crisp. You can capitalize on the fall beauty even further by decorating the interior and exterior of your home with natural autumn decor such as pumpkins, wheat stalks, leaves, branches, etc. It's a Thanksgiving Day experience your guests are sure to be talking about for years to come!

Thanksgiving Day Essentials

If you're planning to host Thanksgiving Day for your family, you likely have a seemingly endless list of things to accomplish before the big day. It's a lot for anyone to remember, so we felt a friendly reminder of some of the Thanksgiving Day essentials couldn't hurt. So, while you're stuffing the turkey, but sure to "stuff" the kitchen with these holiday essentials:

• Varying sizes of pots & pans
• Ladles, whisks, & spatulas
• Turkey baster
• Meat thermometer
• Pie tins, baking sheets & roasting pans
• Sharp knives
• Dinning glasses

This should cover the necessities for hosting Thanksgiving, and we'll leave the food selection up to you. But it should also be mentioned to check the amount of cooking oil, flour, butter, milk, and spices. You'll have everything you need to whip up and serve delicious holiday treats for all to enjoy.

A Second Home Retreat for the Family

Owning a home at the Lake of the Ozarks to host holiday events can easily become a family tradition. With the vibrant atmosphere, fun activities, and beautiful homes one can easily find themselves yearning for the holidays, just to return to the "holiday retreat" that is your lake home. It's a memorable experience for the entire family, one they will be sure to remind you of year after year.
