A Hidden Gem Nestled in the Midwest - 1 June 2010

Move your summer adventure inland this year with a lake and forest getaway to this inclusive, U.S. luxury resort.

Shell Knob, Missouri – Tired of the same, familiar beach vacation that you take with your friends and family? Opt for a new adventure this year and experience the peaceful serenity of the Ancient Ozarks, the gentle waters of the freshwater Table Rock Lake or the adrenalin-rush of ATV rides and zip-lines when you travel to Stonewater Cove Resort and Club, an exclusive luxury retreat hidden in the Midwest among the lush wilderness of the Mark Twain National Forest.

Stonewater Cove Resort and Club showcases a picturesque stone and wood lodge and individually designed suites, all of which combines tremendous natural beauty and outdoor fun with unbeatable indoor luxury. With a nearly 500 acre playground of forested wilderness and a stunning lakefront location, there’s plenty of guided and unguided activities to keep guests of all ages active, inspired and pampered. Here in Missouri among the Piney Creek Wilderness,

you can

Nuture your explorer instincts with a nature hike along the handcrafted trails that meander through the heavily forested lands. Discover hidden alcoves, grassy meadows and magnificent trees that will re-awaken your appreciation for nature’s natural beauty. 

Avoid thick crowds, noisy motorboats and overcrowded beaches at this secluded, family-friendly resort. Located on “the quiet side of Table Rock Lake,” adults and children of all ages can enjoy the clear, freshwater lake with a leisurely, safe swim off a special dock, perfectly shaped like a pool.

Experience the adrenalin-rush that comes with sailing over the treetops on a zip-line, bouncing through the forest on an ATV ride, mastering the art of water skiing or wakeboarding, or learning a new skill such as archery or skeet shooting.

Take advantage of the resort’s inclusive Adventure rate to experience all of the guided-activities (like ATV rides, zip-lines, archery, skeet shooting, boat rides and more) as well as unguided activities (like mountain biking, dock fishing, canoeing), meals and non-alcoholic beverages.

Pamper yourself with spa treatments after a fun day spent testing your physical limits outdoors. Enjoy a deep tissue massage in the privacy of your room or in our newly built spa facility and add on a deluxe foot soak to ease any lingering aches and pains.

Dine in the Lodge on your made-to-order breakfast, as you witness the fog lifting over the quiet, clear lake. Take a picnic lunch with you during your forest explorations or lake adventures. Then, finish the day with a gourmet dinner of horseradish encrusted Tilapia topped with strawberry wine sauce or another gourmet choice from a menu that’s changed daily.

Retire to your custom designed room or suite, which brings the natural beauty of the great outdoors into this spacious, peaceful space. Coffered ceilings, handsome dark wood floors, and custom-made driftwood furniture seamlessly blend into the separate, spacious bath with knotty alder cabinets, solid hand-stained oak and cedar trim as well as a heavenly bubble tub and rainfall shower room – elegantly adorned with ceramic and travertine tile. Luxury living is complete with terry bathrobes, Eco Boutique toiletries, complimentary high-speed wireless Internet access, a mini-refrigerator with icemaker, and a selection of coffee and teas.
