12 Best STR Finds | December 17, 2024

If the Midwest had a crown jewel for short-term rentals, Table Rock Lake would be sparkling at the center. Last year alone, STR demand in the region jumped nearly 20%, thanks to lake lovers, adventure seekers, and family reunions flocking to this Ozarks hotspot for year-round fun.

Today’s listing? It’s not just a property—it’s a revenue machine wrapped in luxury. A 10-suite lodge (yes, 10, and each with its own bathroom) featuring a private, heated indoor pool and award-winning interior design. Guests aren’t just staying here; they’re swooning. With a 9.8/10 rating and 76 glowing reviews, this home practically books itself.

But let’s talk location—because it’s a knockout. Guests get lake views and easy access to boating, cruises, and on-the-water dining. Add in a resort-style community pool (with a waterpark slide for good measure), pickleball courts, and lakeside strolling? You’re looking at the ultimate year-round draw.

Fully furnished, completely turn-key, and already a proven performer, this lodge isn’t just a smart investment; it’s your next cash flow dream.
