I want to take my daughters on a great Ozark vacation, excluding Branson, on the water &prefer a cabin. Ideas?

Question

We'll need a kitchen. We'll have 5-7 days and there will be 4 of us.
We would like to be on the water with access to float trips, horseback riding, hiking, swimming and general relaxation. We don't need a 5-star place but not a Motel 6 either. I want my girls, all young adults, to have a vacation to remember a lifetime as this is the first vacation we'll have taken. My baby is off to college in the fall so it's now or never. Anyone know of that special place?

Answer 1

Well, Lake of the Ozarks is the obvious choice.

Answer 2

How about Devil's Den State Park? They have wonderful cabins, some even have a spa tub. The smallest sleeps 4 and the larger ones 8.

We have several real great places for the family! All are safe, family friendly, and lot cheaper than a hotel.
