Top 10 Midwest Vacation Resorts: Tan-Tar-A Resort

Tan-Tar-A Resort pulls into our tenth spot on the Top 10 Midwest Vacation Resorts list. We chose this Lake of the Ozarks destination because it lets you experience a little bit of everything in true, relaxed, Midwest-fashion. Fishing, swimming, golfing – it’s all here in the heartland!

Sweeping lake vista views abound at this 420-acre haven. Here you can cast a line at the marina and golf 27 holes of the onsite championship course highlighting the beautiful countryside in Osage Beach. Or simply relax in your room and wait for dusk, when the majestic skies turn from pink to orange to blue and reflect on the lake waters making it look like a painter’s palette.

Tan-Tar-A Resort isn’t for those who are looking for the glitz and glam of a fast-paced city resort; it’s best enjoyed by those who appreciate natural beauty and the lazy lakeside lifestyle. We all need to slow down sometimes; why not at Tan-Tar-A?
