Santa is Coming to Lake of the Ozarks! Are you?

December 6, 2012 – 4:23 pm

Since Santa and his elves are planning a getaway to Osage Beach this weekend, we hope you are too!  Our Lake Christmas Parade is this Saturday, December 8th, beginning at 1PM. The floats and bands will line up along Highway 242 and proceed down Bagnell Dam Boulevard (AKA The Strip) towards Bagnell Dam.  Mrs. Claus is coming with Santa because she’s heard those stories about Party Cove and tiny swimsuits on tiny, curvy bodies! This certainly is not the time to distract Santa from his chores! Wait till you see Santa’s ride! Sure enuf, it’s unique to our part of the world. Can you guess what’s under that red sleigh?

Deck the Docks Christmas Cruise on board the Celebration will take place each Friday and Saturday evening at 5:30 between now and Christmas. At the Lake, we view Christmas lights from the water – of course! Reservations are suggested because this is such a fun time and if it’s winter temp time they’ll need to know how much ‘hot chocolate’ to have on board for your sipping pleasure. Call 573-40-3212 and one of Santa’s helpers will fix you right up!  (Stay with us and Santa Sue will do the legwork for you!)

Have you heard the rumor that we have an Outlet Mall here – with 110 stores?!? Santa Sue offers a special money $aving coupon clip for B & B guests and a map to our local gift shops and boutiques. Enjoy dinner at one of our fine dinning restaurants, a dip in your private hot tub at the Inn, and a cuddle with your favorite elf in front of a flickering fireplace.  Surely, you’ll fall asleep ~ relaxed with thoughts of sugar plums and a finished shopping list dancing in your head!

So. . .when planning your next Lake of the Ozarks getaway, we suggest you innclude time to enjoy our many special holiday activities and a romantic sleepover at the Inn at Harbour Ridge, the Lake’s Most Inviting Bed and Breakfast.  The Inn is located just outside of the heart of Osage Beach, city close and country quiet, where there’s always a memory waiting to be made!

Happy Hearts! Happy Holidays!

Snowfall at the Lake of the Ozarks

Little tiny snowflakes continue to fall this afternoon at the Lake. It makes for a pretty scene and a good time to enjoy a crackling fire in one of fireplaces at the Inn. Guests at the B & B decided to head towards Bagnell Dam this morning to see if the eagles were flying and they were (3)! The eagles love to catch a fish (stunned) as it comes thru the spill gates of the dam and then fly over to the huge sycamore trees that line the bank of the Osage River. Sushi, anyone? Come visit the Lake between late November and late February and enjoy a visit with our wintering eagles! Our annual Eagle Days is the first weekend in January but as long as you remember your binoculars or camera lens you’ll be set!
