Nice place to stay with great rooms and great views. Sounds like the upcoming pub crawl is going to be a lot of fun too. Had breakfast in the bar every morning and thought it was really good. If you wanted to see people in the evening you had to go to osage beach, which was a bit of a drive, but if you're trying to get away from people, it fits the bill. I'd go back.

My husband and I stayed for New Years. Although it wasn't the first time we stayed, we were still amazed at the beauty! The room was wonderful, as always, and this time we even had a fireplace. Staff is firendly and views are spectacular! We love this place and will definitely be back.

Its a little out of the way but none the less Wonderful Resort couldn’t ask for more! The staff at H. Toads and Camden on the Lake was surprisingly spectacular! Fast and speedy check in was wonderful when asked about the hot tub being open and for how long. The gentleman helped us with our bags to load them on a dolly for us (wasn’t expecting that) was a delight to know that hotels still do that. When we got to our room to our surprise it was so big compared to the pictures we seen on the internet. We were a little worried about it being noisy from other reviews we read however we had the best sleep of our lives. The beds are one of the best I have ever had the chance to sleep in. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots and pans and dishes! However we decided to eat at H. Toad's it was nice to know that if we wanted to we could Dine-In. The food at H. Toads was wonderful and service there was amazing. I will be sure to return in the summer when there are a few more things to do in the area!

Overall, I am not happy with my experience at this resort. First, upon arrival, we noticed there were 3 cars in the parking lot, which led us to believe we would have the run of the hotel for the most part, and get excellent service. Boy were we wrong. Having booked our room through Expedia, apparently the resort gives the worst rooms to those who get a decent room rate. With the hotel virtually empty, we got the absolute worst room in the complex with a lovely view of the roof of the valet portico. The manager was nice enough, in a patronizing sort of way, to change us to another room with a partial lake view.

It was immediately evident in the new room that people had been smoking in it. I am a smoker myself, but do not smoke inside. There were stains on the throw pillows that were a white color, making us not hazard any guesses as to what they were made of. Dirty walls, some rotten wood trim, and a large hairball on the bathroom floor rounded out the room inspection.

Don't get me wrong, the room was very nice, but it just needed a good deep cleaning. My guess is a hard summer of partying had taken its' toll on the room. However, it is now December, and I think it's time for a deep cleaning.

Hotel desk staff were not overly friendly, and disinterested in us as guests, as evidenced by the fact that he and the manager were chit-chatting the whole time during check-in.

Perhaps this review is a bit harsh, but I expected more from a resort that has a 4 star rating. Someone needs to explain to the staff that the property is only half of the rating, the other half is the service, and treating your guests as guests. I felt as if they felt they were doing us a favor letting us stay there for our anniversary.

My partner works for Expedia, and he knows a thing or two about the hotel business, we are not fools or first time travelers, but Camden on the Lake staff apparently viewed us as such. Will we be coming back? No.

We did enjoy the jacuzzi.
