Transform Your Ozark’s Lake House with the Elegance of Teak

Nestled in the heart of the Midwest, the Lake of the Ozarks stands as the premier vacation destination for boat owners and water enthusiasts alike. With an impressive expanse of shoreline that stretches over 1,150 miles, it rivals most coastal retreats. While many Midwesterners spend their two weeks of official vacation time in Florida or along the Gulf Coast, the remaining weekends are spent at the Lake of the Ozarks. Here, Lake Life is celebrated with a passion that is second only to Beach Life. This makes it an idyllic escape for the majority of weekends officially beginning on Memorial Day and ending on Labor Day.

The Ozarks Were the Ozarks Even Before Netflix Made it Cool

There is no arguing that the hit Netflix series starring Jason Bateman and Laura Linney has put the rural Missouri lake communitity in the spotlight. However, the Lake of the Ozarks has been a popular summer vacation destination for years. I graduated highschool in 1993 and went to university in nearby Columbia. Needless to say, the Lake was where the action was, especially for holiday weekends.

The growth at the Lake has been exponential since my college days and there are no signs of it slowing down soon. Ozark Oasis Park, seen below, is scheduled to open summer of 2025. It family focused and will feature a roller coaster, ferris wheel and a massive 40,000 sqft, fully enclosed year round waterpark.

The Ozarks Is a Rural Paradise but Quite Far Removed from the Urban Centers of St. Louis and Kansas City

This is both good and bad.

Yes, the Lake of the Ozarks is celebrated as a rural paradise, a serene and expansive waterscape enveloped by rolling hills and lush forests. This idyllic setting is punctuated by quaint towns that serve as the lifeblood of the lake community, each contributing its unique flavor and charm.

Camdenton serves as the gateway to the Lake of the Ozarks. It’s a quiet, laid-back community, with a focus on nature and outdoor activities. Camdenton is known for its excellent schools, family-friendly parks, and community-oriented atmosphere. This makes it the ideal for both long-term residents and vacation-goers alike.

Osage Beach, on the other hand, is where the action is. Osage Beach is the bustling heart of the area, known for its retail outlet malls that attracts shoppers from across the region. It combines enough convenience and modern amenities of lakeside life, but there is certainly something missing. If you’re looking to furnish you multi-million dollar lake house, you’re not going to find what you’re looking for anywhere near the lake.

Despite its charm and attractions, the Lake of the Ozarks remains quite removed from major urban centers. It is approximately 175 miles from St. Louis, 150 miles from Kansas City, and about 90 miles from Columbia, MO. This considerable distance from larger cities means that access to high-quality, durable furniture can be limited. There are few specialty stores and transport costs for luxury items can be high. All reasons why Bali Teak Collective will be a widely appreciated addition to the Ozarks.

Beach Life Sells in the Ozarks

This isolation creates a unique niche for Bali Teak Collective. The introduction of high-quality, durable teak furniture is not just a luxury but a necessity for many residents and businesses in the area. Bali Teak Collective can meet the demand for stylish, long-lasting outdoor and indoor furniture. This enhancement of the living spaces at the Lake will ensure that comfort and style are never compromised.
