Missouri luxury resort lures travelers with an all-inclusive family vacation that features ATV rides, zip-lines and water sports  

Shell Knob, Missouri – Shake up your vacation plans this year with an adventure getaway to Stonewater Cove Resort and Club that melds a chic, rustic ambiance with myriad lake and forest activities. At this U.S. family luxury resort, you, your spouse and your children can fill perfect summer days with adrenalin-pumping fun, relaxing family time – or the ideal blend of both.

A Table Rock Lake resort nestled in the heart of the Mark Twain National Forest, Stonewater Cove Resort and Club showcases a stunning wood and stone lodge; individually designed rooms or suites; impeccable, family-friendly service; and an enchanting 500-acre, lakefront playground with plenty to do for adults and children alike.

Here on the “quiet side of Table Rock Lake” in the Piney Creek Wilderness area, guests can explore the untarnished forest and lake and then relax and rejuvenate in luxe splendor. The guided and non-guided activities include

• Water Sports: Test your agility, strength and balance by trying out our staple water sports. More advanced water skiers can try the tournament slalom ski course, just three minutes from the resort via boat.
• ATV Rides: Awaken your family’s appreciation of outdoor adventure with an ATV ride that rumbles through the trees along handcrafted trails that meander through the lush forest.  Rides can be as mild or daring as your skills and desires allow.
• Zip-Lines: Sail through the charming wilderness on the resort’s brand new 5 zip lines through and over the forest canopy and enjoy an expansive view of the ancient Ozarks in their verdant summer glory.
• In-Room Spa Services: Work out your muscle aches, accumulated stresses and built-up tensions with a massage or other relaxing treatment that’s on the newly expanded in-room spa menu at this lake spa resort. 
• Boating: Enjoy our professionally-guided luxury powerboat fleet and choose from a leisurely cruise along Table Rock Lake, or the adrenalin-rush of the jet boat that can take you for a quick, thrilling dunk in the cool water on a hot day.
• Swimming: Go for a leisurely, safe swim off our special dock, perfectly shaped like a pool, or simply enjoy the warm sun while lounging in the cove. Table Rock Lake, whose shoreline is owned by the Army Corps of Engineers, strictly limits dock spaces and boat sizes, helping to ensure calm, smooth waters and a quiet, peaceful ambiance.

Complete your fun-filled day at this Midwestern luxury resort with a leisurely visit to The Lounge, a cozy, posh setting elegantly appointed with custom-made driftwood tables and chairs taken from the property grounds, a stunning fireplace and comfortable sofas. The perfect spot for after-dinner cocktails, board games and friendly chats, this room is attached to a smaller media room outfitted with a large, flat-screen television and oversized beanbags so guests can enjoy the Wii or movies. Round out the evening gazing at the twinkling stars in the clear, night sky while cooking s’mores on our outdoor bonfire.

Retire to one of the resort’s individually-designed rooms or suites, each of which incorporates the indigenous beauty of the natural world into a spacious, peaceful space adorned with aesthetically pleasing coffered ceilings, handsome dark wood floors, and custom-made driftwood furniture. From the comfort of your room or suite, enjoy a view of the cove through the wooded shoreline, which is accessible by a scenic amble through short paths and water-lined gardens.
