The Ozarker Lodge, a lifestyle hotel experience in the Ozark Mountains, has opened as a completely revamped roadside lodging concept in a family adventure destination in Branson, Missouri. The Ozarker Lodge offers 102 all-new guestrooms, modern amenities, heated outdoor pool, cedar soaking tubs, engaging programming for all ages, coffee and wine bar, and easy access to the Ozark Mountains.
Upon entering the revamped lodge, guests are enveloped by a brand-new open lobby that is the heart of the hotel and serves as a social hub for guests. It has a modern lounge, indoor floating fireplace, and a dining area and community pantry.
The Ozarker’s brand-new guestrooms are designed by Midwest-based design firm PARINI. The Bunkbed Rooms are ideal for families or friends, accommodating up to six people and offering double bathrooms. The Fall Creek King Suites can sleep up to four or five guests with one king bed and sleeper sofa. For special occasions or guests seeking more spacious accommodations, the Ozarker Master Suite is 483 square feet and is equipped with a full kitchen.
Located beside Branson's historic Fall Creek, The Ozarker Lodge is well-suited for al fresco gatherings with its large heated outdoor pool, cozy fire pits, creekside cedar soaking tubs, a natural playground for little ones, and a dedicated space for local food trucks, such as Jamaican Patty Co., to pop up throughout the year.
In addition, the lodge works with local artisans and craftsmen to provide guests with experiences only found in the Ozarks. Regular programming includes guided hikes on nearby trails that leave right from the lobby, group kayaking, poolside movie nights, live music, fireside s’mores, seasonal foraging workshops, wine or beer tastings, charcuterie board and topography map reading classes, and seasonal food truck nights. The lodge is also an ideal place to hold private events or small affairs with friends and family with indoor and outdoor venue space equipped for intimate gatherings or buyouts.
The lodge’s new lobby bar, Storeroom, has partnered with several favorite brands from the region, including Kingdom Coffee to offer locally sourced coffee, Terrell Creek Farm to supply charcuterie boards and Grandma Ruth’s for cinnamon rolls offered throughout the day. Guests can get a taste of local flavor by sipping on the lodge’s official roast called “Scenic Blend,” roasted in the Ozarks.
In the evenings, Storeroom showcases a carefully selected assortment of all-natural or “low-intervention” white, red, and rosé wines from small producers and local craft breweries. Guests can also opt for Spring Branch kombucha in addition to non-alcoholic selections like delicious espresso drinks and flavored waters. The Lodge also offers complimentary saltwater taffy made at the Silver Dollar City upon check-in, as well for sale by the pound at Storeroom. Guests will also receive wooden nickels at check-in, which can be redeemed for coffee, kombucha, or beer at Storeroom. S’mores kits are available for-purchase and popcorn is provided complimentary to enjoy by the outdoor firepits.
