Warm weather tends to stir our wanderlust, doesn’t it? After all, the bitterly cold and snowy days of winter are now but a memory, and we’re ready to spend every moment we can relaxing or exploring outdoors. That also means planning getaways when we can fit them into our schedules. If you’re on the lookout for an idyllic place to get away from it all, consider one of these waterfront getaways in Missouri.
The Silo in Bonne Terre might be one of the most unique waterfront retreats in Missouri. Nestled on five acres, this one-of-a-kind Airbnb is quite spacious with two bedrooms that accommodate up to five guests. The inside features a rustic farmhouse decor, but you'll probably spend quite a bit of your time outside, soaking up the views on the double-decker balcony, warming up by the fire pit on chilly evenings, and grilling. Fishing is permitted in the pond that boasts breathtaking sunrises and sunsets.
Another unique Airbnb in Missouri, this A-Frame Lakefront Cabin in Lake Ozark oozes charm. Natural light pours into the home that features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a Level 2 EV charger. Enjoy all of the comforts of home and 70 amenities, including an indoor fireplace, wifi, a full kitchen, and a BBQ grill outdoors. Soak up those lake views from the outdoor dining area.
Just about everywhere you go in this iconic glass mansion in Osage Beach, you'll be treated to breathtaking water views. Can you think of anything more relaxing? The glass mansion is the perfect place for a family or friend get-together as it features five bedrooms and 4.5 baths. Up to 16 guests can easily fit in this 16-bed home that's brimming with nearly four dozen amenities, including a 75-inch HDTV, wifi, a full kitchen, and a BBQ grill.
With a dock that leads straight to the Lake of the Ozarks, the tranquil Ozarks retreat in Gravois Mills is all about relaxation, from chilling on the upper deck or lower patio to binging your favorite shows on the 75-inch HDTV. Boasting 66 amenities and 3,000 square feet, the lakefront home's four bedrooms and three bathrooms easily accommodate up to a dozen guests.
Embrace the rustic cabin vibes that define this waterfront home in Sunrise Beach. The dog-friendly Airbnb offers a ton of space - five bedrooms and 2.5 baths - and sleeps up to 14 guests. While you'll feel right at home in this cozy space, you'll likely spend much of your time outdoors. Spend time kayaking, relaxing by the fire pit, stargazing, and barbecuing on the grill.
Indulge in a luxurious getaway when you check into this lakeside chalet in Innsbrook, a three-bedroom, three-bathroom home that sleeps up to eight guests.
