Lodge of Four Seasons

The Promenade essay

What it feels like to stay here

Four Seasons Drive climbs through a 3,500-acre lakeside community on the Missouri shoreline, and the Avila condominium buildings sit inside it as the resort's vacation-rental address at 315 Four Seasons Drive, Lake Ozark. The Lodge of Four Seasons has welcomed guests here since 1964, when founder Harold Koplar set out to build an all-ages destination in what was then remote country. A $15 million renovation completed in 2016 reworked the full-service lodge inside and out as a contemporary lakefront property. Avila's two-bedroom suite measures about 1,200 square feet, pairing a king bedroom with a second room holding two double beds plus a pullout sleeper sofa in the living area. With the sofa sleeper in use, that layout accommodates up to eight guests and includes two private luxury baths, a full kitchen, and a living-room fireplace. Separate dining and living areas and a private furnished balcony or patio complete the floor plan. Step outside and the waterfront setting on the edge of Lake of the Ozarks does the rest of the work. Golfers have 54 holes of championship play, split between The Cove and The Ridge. A full-service marina opens the water to recreation for anyone who would rather boat than putt. Spa Kyoto covers treatments and fitness, while the resort's Japanese Gardens reward an unhurried morning walk. Dining spans HK's Restaurant & Bar, Breezes casual dining, the Lobby Cafe & Bar, Fire & Ice Patio and Bar, and grills at both golf courses. There is even a movie theatre on the property, which is a rare line item at a lake resort. Booking the Avila condominiums through the Lodge's own vacation-rental listings keeps all of those resort facilities tied to the reservation.
