What Vacation Rental Guests Do (and Don’t Do) in Innsbrook, MO
If it wasn’t for the lakefront resort and a few golf courses, hardly anyone would know about Innsbrook, Missouri. The beautiful woodlands and serenity of the waters edge from more than 100 lakes might still be a well-kept secret to its population of less than 500. But today, Innsbrook is one of the fastest growing real estate markets in the country. And, its fall foliage attracts guests who love the view of the water from the A-frame houses available for short term rentals.
Because of its low density and wide variety of forests and foliage, the A-frame homes are perfect for being enveloped by nature. Floor to ceiling windows on the back side of these homes allow for maximum natural light, or even bird watching. The interior of these vacation rental properties typically include a fireplace or wood burning stove.
Family-Friendly Secluded Getaway
Guests are encouraged to do a lot of nothing while visiting Innsbrook, hence the accommodations offering hammocks, hot tubs, and low-slung chairs facing a fire pit. However, should vacation rental guests choose to plan activities around town, the most popular include fishing, golfing, and hiking. Additionally, arrangements can be made for boating, biking and making s’mores at night by the fire.

Innsbruck is also known to be a popular wedding destination. Annual events like Taste of the County also draw visitors for its live music, wine tastings, food sampling and more. Centrally located in Middle America, the town draws from a range of cities in less than a five-hour drive. The nearest airport is the St. Louis Airport (STL), which is about 42 miles away. There’s also a train station in nearby Civic Center Station, but taxis, rideshares and rental cars are also good options.
Winter offers almost as many activities for vacation rental guests as summer does. When lakes freeze over they are safe for ice skating. There’s also snow-shoeing and cross-country skiing available on some of the hiking trails. The Innsbrook Resort has a clubhouse bar and grille which are open to the public. It hosts events that include a variety of entertainment – from karaoke to comedy shows.
In the summer guests enjoy swimming, tennis, and canoeing or kayaking on one of Innsbrook’s many glistening lakes. Equestrian fans can go horseback riding at a beginner or novice level at Innsbrook Stables. Whether fishing is a hobby or a sport, there are plenty of bass, catfish and bluegill to be caught.
If all of these summer activities sound ideal for you and your family, then a rental like this one on Foxtail Lake would be the perfect place to stay. Not only does this meticulous three-bedroom property have private lakefront access, but it also comes with equipment like a paddle board and hot tub. The main floor bedroom has its own screened in porch and ensuite bath, and there is a two-tiered deck looking out over the water.
