It’s a cool little place. The price is relative to anything else around Branson you would actually want to hang out on property for. You can find cheaper but you will have nothing to do. At The Ozarker the lobby/breakfast area is inviting and useful. The area on the back side of the building has a great small creek and awesome lounging area for that down time between all the running between this and that. It’s centrally located and I don’t think we drove more than 10 minutes to anything we did. I will provide not a warning but a heads up. If you have high standards of cleanliness you might not enjoy the primacies. It’s only my experience maybe not all rooms are the same but the first floor was concrete with one large rug I would say on the floor. But here’s the deal it’s a pet friendly place. And hand I not seen pets there, I would not have known. It smelled nothing of animal, there was an obvious stain on the rug, but it could have been anything, I just assume it’s pee due to the animals but I couldn’t tell you that? Listen every place has some flaws thus the good rating all around. It’s not great, but so few thing are today for what we have to pay for. I would stay again.

After a horrible experience at Thousand Hills we were beyond thrilled to stay at The Ozarker!!! Extremely clean, updated, beautiful pool, and 2 hot tubs! Can't say enough about the staff! So very friendly, kind, and helpful. Collin, Kristi, and Ashley are the best there are! Would definitely stay here again.

The Ozarker staff was so welcoming to us. The property was decorated and maintained SO well. They are dog friendly- which is hard to find in Branson! They had a trail along the creek, dog bag stations, and even an adorable dog stick “lending library!” We loved our stay.

This is a motel type hotel not a 4 star by any means. It was clean though but for the price we paid we could have booked an actual 4-star. No elevator. It was clean. Bed was ok. AC made a creaking noise. Breakfast was not that good but I don't expect much from continental breakfast anyways. If I wanted to book a motel for half the price I would've given 5 stars in review, but I can't anymore because hotels.com mentions its a 4 star hotel whereas its really a well-kept motel.

My wife and I very much enjoyed our stay at the Ozarker Lodge. We found the room to be clean, updated, and the lobby/lounge area to be a great place to spend time with family. The breakfast was not what you'd expect at a hotel traditionally in America, but included items like overnight oats, hard boiled eggs, bagels, cereal, and fruit (no scrambled eggs or bacon, no waffles or pancakes, etc.). The coffee was above average, especially for a hotel. We also really enjoyed the location, as it is near Branson but far enough away from all the kitschy things and hustle and bustle. The creek outback and the amenities on the property were nice and made for a relaxing retreat at the end of the day. The BBQ place next door was very good and affordable. I would also add that we ended up booking an extra night and that the staff was very helpful with accommodating that, ensuring that we didn't have to change rooms, and took care of that request promptly. Finally, the cocktails were very good at the bar!

From the moment we arrived, we knew this place was special. It was already dark outside, but the property felt so warm and inviting. Families were gathered everywhere—people were watching a movie from the pool, others were sitting around fire pits making s’mores, and when I went inside to check in, there was a family playing a board game in the lobby. It honestly felt like stepping back to a simpler time when families spent quality time together instead of staring at screens.

The family bunk room was perfect for our family of five. It was comfortable, well-designed, and gave everyone plenty of space. We also loved the complimentary continental breakfast, free parking, and all the family-friendly activities. It’s easy to see why they’re known for their family experience.

The staff was incredibly courteous and friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.

This place is truly something special, and we will definitely be back!

Love this motel near a creek. I wish there were more motels like it across the country. We chose it because it is pet friendly and looked so cute. Did not disappoint. Rooms were unique, a bit small, but they were too cute to care. Beds were comfy. We did not use spa or pool but they looked inviting. We reserved a fire pit and had fun sitting around enjoying our drinks by the water. They offer standard breakfast fare. They also have a bar and coffee shop onsite. Bar drinks good. Lobby is inviting. Highly recommend.

Such a fun nostalgic place to stay! All the details are so intentional to make families feel welcome, and never be bored! Our room was clean, and we were even offered an extra hour after checkout time for free! A noon checkout is unheard of, so we were on cloud 9 that we got to stay longer and enjoy the amenities! The breakfast was your basic continental breakfast, but was super handy to grab and go! And was matched perfectly with the amazing coffee bar! My iced vanilla oatmilk iced latte was 10/10!

I loved that they had a laundry area for guests that was free to wash and dry. The things I disliked was the room size no where to walk no chair with a back to sit on, the floors were dirty. We spent 3 nights and no one came to bring extra towels or take out the garbage, shade didn’t work you couldn’t put it up or down. We asked someone and they said most of the rooms the shades are broken and the breakfast was just a cold breakfast very small.

Did not get any housekeeping services during our stay (not even trash pick up) I did love the location next to the creek. Was a very relaxing vibe.

Overall the stay and property were good, amenities were nice, perfect for families! The only complaint I have is that the room smelled very musty, and damp the entire time. I know it’s in a humid area and expect some dampness, but this was overpowering and I found it difficult to even sleep. I did notice the ac units outside the rooms looked pretty dirty, maybe they need a good clean and something in the rooms to offset the smell life an air purifier? Unfortunately, this issue will deter us from staying there again. I really, really wanted to love the place!

We always stay at the Ozarker Lodge when we go to Branson. The only times we haven’t stayed is because they were booked up and no rooms available. It’s located a few miles off 76, so it’s generally quiet and there are two restaurants adjacent to the property for convenience. The lodge is very clean and the people there are extra nice. My husband likes staying in the rooms at the back so he can just walk across to the creek that runs behind it. They have a great swimming pool and soaker tubs plus several fire pits out by the creek. They also have a coffee and wine bar in the lobby with a fireplace and games and books for you and your kids. There are fire pits outside too if you want to enjoy the great outdoors. The atmosphere and people are great and they always do their best to accommodate any requests we may have. Like I said we always go back here whenever possible. Make your reservation early so you can get the room you want. You can’t go wrong staying at the Ozarker Lodge.

The Ozarker has made the most out of their property. Even with the smaller, motel-sized rooms and the temps too cold most days to take advantage of the pool, our family of five did great. The bunks-above-queen beds combo worked well with no creaking. The lobby/bar area is not sterile like most hotel lobbies - it has an amazing, welcoming vibe with plenty of family-friendly games and activities. Between that space and the beautiful creek area in the back, our family had no problem enjoying our downtime between outings. Breakfast was great - there was a warm option and overnight oats every day, alongside standard cold options.

We’ll be staying here again next time we visit Branson!

We were only there for one day and didn’t have time to enjoy the hot tub or pool which looked pretty neat. The room was clean and the beds were pretty comfortable. Behind the lodge there are some woods/trees and a pretty creek with large rocks that makes a little waterfall effect next to the hot tubs. That looked nice and relaxing. The decor was attractive and retro. The breakfast however was about the worst I’ve had. The only protein source were those cold, hard boiled eggs that seemed to have been shipped from some far away land. The other choices were very limited. Coffee was old and burnt tasting.

Good location. Unpretentious room. What shines most brightly at the Ozarker is the staff. Each person I engaged with — from the manager to barista/bartender to housekeeping — was warm, helpful, and clearly wanted me to have an enjoyable time in their community. People actually use the lobby area for games and conversation. Hospitality and community ties are clearly important to this locally-owned establishment.
