The Lodge

Old Kinderhook Lodging at Lake of the Ozarks

A Lake of the Ozarks getaway looks different for everyone. Some guests arrive with golf bags and a tee time already locked in. Others come for a long weekend away with family, a spa afternoon, or a corporate retreat with a view. Old Kinderhook Resort offers lodging at Lake of the Ozarks that fits all of it, with 84 hotel rooms, 25+ vacation villas and cottages, and a full resort campus that gives every guest something worth coming back for.

Stay in the Lodge

The Lodge is the heart of the resort. Its 84 guest rooms are appointed with king beds with sofa sleepers or queen/queen configurations, with recent upgrades including mounted TVs, new accent walls, and refreshed furnishings. Whether you’re here for two nights or a full week, the Lodge gives you a comfortable, well-maintained base with direct access to everything the resort has to offer.

Guests booking through Old Kinderhook receive advance tee time priority on the championship golf course, a perk that matters during peak season when the course fills fast. The Stay and Play package bundles your room and golf reservation into a single booking, so you arrive knowing your tee time is already set. It’s the resort’s most popular package, and it’s easy to see why.

Stay in a Vacation Villa or Cottage

For guests who want more space, Old Kinderhook’s vacation rentals offer a private setting within the resort community – with four distinct unit types to choose from depending on your group size and preferences.

Golf Cottages (1–2 bedrooms) are centrally located near the golf shop, restaurants, and pool, making them an easy base for guests who want to stay close to the action. Villas (3–4 bedrooms) sit along fairways #12 and #14 and include access to a dedicated neighborhood pool right by the fairway – a more private option for larger groups. For those who want the most room, two 5-bedroom Estate Homes are available, situated along the #5 and #17 fairways, respectively.

Guests who book directly through Old Kinderhook have full access to resort amenities, including the pools, fitness center, and Driftwood Spa. The property spans over 700 acres of Ozark hillside, so villa guests get the feeling of a private retreat without giving up any of the resort experience. Virtual tours of the cottages, villas, and estate homes are available on the Cottages, Villas & Homes page.

Explore Resort Amenities

Old Kinderhook is built for guests who want more than a hotel room. The resort includes an outdoor saltwater pool, an indoor pool with an adjacent hot tub, a fitness center, sand volleyball courts, and on-site dining at The Trophy Room and The Hook Cafe. The Driftwood Spa offers a full menu of treatments for both individual guests and group bookings.

For families, the combination of pools, outdoor courts, and wide-open grounds makes for an easy weekend. For golf groups, the Stay and Play package, the driving range, and a course Golf Digest has rated 4.5 stars make Old Kinderhook a trip worth planning months in advance.
