BRANSON, Mo. — Things move pretty easy at The Ozarker Lodge in Branson. You can sit at a campsite, roast marshmallows, watch a movie or take a yoga class.
The check in Lobby also serves as a storefront, doubling as a coffee shop in the boutique hotel. Wine, beer and other beverages are also available.
“It’s a beautiful place to come to work each day,” explained Sophia Meltke, marketing director for The Ozarker Lodge. Meltke should know, her mom and sister also work at the brand forward lodge.
Meltke explained everything in the coffee shop is locally sourced, with the s’mores latte being a fan favorite. It’s adorned with graham crackers, chocolate chips and marshmallows.
The outdoor-inspired lodge blends sleek, contemporary design with the cozy character of the Ozarks. It weaves in retro accents and a rustic landscape.
It takes the idea of a traditional roadside inn and transforms it into a stylish retreat, fitting perfectly within Branson’s mix of family fun and adventurous getaways.
