There is no denying that the Lake of the Ozarks is a great place to live! Centrally located in the United States, you can't beat the luxury lake lifestyle away from the hustle and bustle of the big cities.

#1 The Lake is Centrally Located

One of the best features of the Lake of the Ozarks is that it's centrally located in Mid-Missouri! The Lake is the best location for anyone who may prefer to live in a quieter, non-congested area, but remain close enough to the surrounding metropolis areas that they can drive there and back in the same day. This also makes the Lake a fantastic place for business owners to relocate since they can quickly and easily jump on the highway and head back and forth to the big cities for meetings, etc.

#2 Top-Notch Quality of Life

Ask anyone who lives here or has visited. Living at the Lake of the Ozarks is by far one of the best decisions you can make! The quality of life is like nothing you'll find anywhere else. From award-winning health systems to the best recreational activities your whole family can enjoy - Lake of the Ozarks is one of the best places to live in Missouri. That's why thousands of vacationers choose to return year after year, and many even choose to relocate to the Lake of the Ozarks once they experience the benefits of spending time here.

#3 Best Wining and Dining

With 5 wineries, a distillery, and hundreds of wonderful restaurants to choose from, your wining and dining experiences are limitless! The Lake of the Ozarks offers some of the best food around and has some of the best happy hours you can find. Whether you're looking for a restaurant to have a nice sit-down meal with family or friends, or a great place to stop and grab a quick bite to eat on your lunch break, the Lake has many opportunities to experience awesome food and fantastic waterfront dining!

#4 Best School Districts Around

At the Lake of the Ozarks, we have some of the best schools around. There are four local high schools in the Lake area and even opportunities for higher education. State Fair Community College offers great 2-year degree programs and they also partner with Central Method University to offer a variety of 4-year degrees as well. Columbia College is another great campus as they offer Associates Degrees, Bachelor Degrees, and Masters Degree programs. What's great is that these educational institutions work closely together with community businesses to educate and prepare their students to succeed in the local workforce! There are several preschools and daycares to choose from in the area as well.

#5 Family Fun All Year Round

There's no shortage of fun activities on AND off the Lake! Of course, the main reason people choose to visit or live at the Lake is to enjoy the lake itself. But once you come off the water for the day, the fun doesn't have to end there. There are several offshore outdoor activities to enjoy, such as state parks to hike in, caves to explore, go-cart tracks to race around, and several golf courses to get a game or two in. There are also several indoor activities to check out that'll keep your family having a blast even on rainy days, such as an indoor trampoline park, a challenging interactive escape room, laser tag, an arcade, and plenty of shopping opportunities for everyone!

Decorating Simply and Tastefully For the Holidays

It's the most wonderful time of the year, and we're just certain you're very excited to show off your holiday spirit with the best decorations around! But maybe you're just not feeling the typical Christmas decorations you usually fill your home with - snowmen and little Santa figurines. You can still decorate your condo tastefully and simply for the holidays. Check out these holiday decorating tips from Isla Del Sol!

Seasonal Scents
While candles are beautiful to look at and can make a great centerpiece for any room, you may not want to burn them for their scent because of the soot they put off. So instead, you can incorporate cinnamon sticks in your centerpieces and tuck them into your garland to add holiday fragrance to every room. You can also buy holiday scented plugins or delectable bars for your Scentsy warmer!

Cozy Colors
While reds and greens are the typical Christmas colors, you don't have to stick to these colors only. Some other great holiday colors are blues, silvers, golds, white, and natural neutrals. Mix and match to spice up your decor. The great thing about using some of these other colors is that you can extend your home decor into the new year and don't have to feel obligated to take it down immediately!

Re-purpose Ornaments
Skip the traditional wreath of reds and greens. Instead, put a fresh spin on the Christmas wreath and re-purpose old bulb ornaments of all sorts of colors! Get a wreath base from your local crafts store and glue those colorful bulbs of all colors and sizes on to make a glitzy glittery shiny wreath that will draw the eye and bring joy to your door!

Capture Photos
Turn any banister or mantel into a showcase of your favorite holiday family photos and Christmas cards. Decorate with garland and mix in some pine cones, then hang your pictures and cards with beautiful ribbons. Feel free to mix and match ribbons to add a little flair and tie in to your unique holiday decor!

With these suggestions, you can decorate your home simply and tastefully. No matter how you decide to decorate for the holidays, we hope that you have a joyous holiday season! Here at the most luxurious condos at the Lake of the Ozarks, we get really excited seeing what locals do with their holiday decorations, and we love seeing creative wreaths and decorations adorn the doors at the Lake. If you enjoy Holiday decor, come out and schedule a viewing for some inspirational and perfect sights of the wintry colors found at Lake of the Ozarks.

5 Festive Ideas to Get You in the Spirit of the Holidays

If you've visited any of the larger department stores recently, you may have already noticed the presence of the holidays starting to make their appearance. And now that Halloween is over and we're officially into the month of November, you can bet that Christmas is going to explode in the stores and all over your social media newsfeed over the next couple of weeks. You may have even noticed some of your friends already sharing holiday related GIFs expressing their excitement (or lack thereof) for the upcoming holidays. Now Isla Del Sol knows that not everyone is as ready to start putting up decorations and singing Christmas carols as the retail industry would like us to be. But for those who are, we've got 5 festive ideas to get you in the holiday spirit!

1. Bake Cookies

The holidays just wouldn’t be the same without all that holiday baking. Whether your go-to is chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin or gingerbread, baking cookies in fun holiday shapes and flavors will surely put you in the Christmas spirit. PLUS, there's not many people who can pass up a scrumptious cookie, so sharing your delicious holiday cookies with others may get them to open up to the spirit of the holidays too!

2. Get Family Photos

Now is the perfect time to start thinking about your holiday cards, especially if your cards usually consist of a family photo! So call up your favorite photographer, pick out a cute theme or color for the family to dress in, and strike a pose for this year's Christmas card! Since having professional pictures usually means there will be a lag in turnaround time, it's best to get these done sooner rather than later to ensure you've got them back in time to send them out. 

3. Shop for Gifts

The earlier you start on your Christmas shopping, the less stressed you'll feel about the holidays, and the more money you're likely to save! If you're planning to go Black Friday shopping, start looking for ideas online now and making a list so you're ready. The Black Friday ads will be rolling out soon enough, so you can even come up with a plan of attack and enlist your family to shop for specific items you can check everything off your list! 

4. See a Holiday Performance

Whether you splurge on a single show or make it an annual tradition, nothing puts you in high spirits quite like a holiday performance. If you are interested in the theater, check out a production of "A Christmas Carol." If you like fine arts, try "The Nutcracker" ballet. And if you are a music junkie or light show enthusiast, the "Trans-Siberian Orchestra" is a must-see (hint: they'll be in Kansas City this year!). 

5. Volunteer

The holiday season is often seen as a holiday about getting, but it is also about giving. Volunteer at a local shelter or food pantry to help people in need, volunteer to be a bell ringer, or get involved with one of the local organization who hosts holiday fundraisers. Not only will it will make you more appreciative for the things that you have, but it will be more fulfilling than any item on your Christmas list. Getting the kids involved in volunteer work at a young age helps to build character and appreciation as well, so it's a great family activity!

There you have it - 5 festive ideas to help get you and your loved ones in the spirit of the holidays! Who knows? In your excitement to celebrate NOW, you may even convince those who insist on waiting until AFTER the turkey's big day to get a little excited! And just know that you're not alone in your "premature" excitement. The holiday festivities will be kicking off all over the place soon enough! If you're moving to the Lake of the Ozarks, be sure to check out all the local holiday events at www.FunLake.com, and don't forget to consider checking out the only private island condo complex at the Lake of the Ozarks for your next home. Our island has the best panoramic views for enjoying the Lake during any season!
