Set on the scenic Lake of the Ozarks, this family-owned resort presents an inviting balance of simple comfort and lakeside charm. Guests can choose from a variety of accommodations including rooms, apartments, and cottages, many equipped with kitchens for added convenience. The property centers around its marina, offering access to boat ramps and docks for water activities.
Indoor and outdoor pools provide year-round relaxation, while the Blue Cat Lounge serves classic American fare along with a casual bar atmosphere. Although the restaurant operates primarily on weekends, its reputation for friendly service and good food is well noted by visitors. The location is quiet yet close enough to local attractions such as Lake Ozark town and the nearby state park.
With pet-friendly policies and kid-friendly amenities, the resort welcomes families and those traveling with pets, making it a versatile choice for a low-key lakeside getaway. The rooms are noted for cleanliness and recent updates, though the overall style remains modest, focusing on utility rather than luxury.

“Very cute place! It looked like its newly remodeled, beds were cozy, very clean. Has a kitchen. There’s a restaurant but only open on weekends (Thursday thru Sunday I believe). Pool was very clean. Great view! Lots of areas for fishing.”
“This is one of the friendliest, cleanest resorts. All the workers are so friendly and go above and beyond. The restaurant has great food, fast friendly service. I will definitely be back.”
“Only used the boat ramp but was nice of them to let us for a small fee. I said the $10 to launch isn't worth a flip but the $10 to unlaunch and get your boat back is well worth it! If not staying there is why charging but I understand”
“This was our first family vacation/fishing trip and it was wonderful the rooms were very nice! Every employee I spoke with was very polite. The restaurant had amazing food and friendly service! Huge thank you to this place and the staff for making it a wonderful memory! We will be returning next year!”
“What a hidden GEM! If you are wanting a taste of nostalgia of the former Lake of the Ozarks including incredible service then look no further than the Alhonna Resort! Our room had been recently remodeled and was just a few steps to the BLUE CAT Lounge and the Swimming Pools! The staff truly goes above and beyond to accommodate their guest and they make you feel like a part of the family.”
“5/2026: Stayed again for a couple of nights. Check-in process was smooth and easy and front desk gal was friendly. Had room #43 this time, and it's actually a neat little set-up. Downstairs had a half bath, small couch/loveseat with foldaway bed, small kitchen with table/chairs, small table and a tv. There were steps leading upstairs to a nice sized bed with nightstands, full bath, closet, dresser and another tv. Room was clean and had plenty of windows for light. I enjoyed the stay and facility was nice and quiet. Would stay again. 10/2025: This was a nice little place in a quiet location. Cabin I had (#6) looked really neat, even though it was behind the "hotel" part. So not much of view except of the building. Still had neat "curb" appeal with a nice little deck. Inside was a little dated and had some issues due to age. Furniture was older and worn, and cover for the daybed had what looked like dried blood. Bedroom was pretty bare (bed/nightstand), but clean. Water pressure was good & actually had hot water, so that was nice. Bathroom was clean but only 3 small bars of soap for toiletries. I bring my own anyhow. There were dishes and a coffee pot, but no coffee supplied. I didn't use any, since only there overnight. Fireplace was a nice touch, but it's a real fireplace and I didn't buy any wood to try it. Furnace worked great on the same note. Overall, neat place and would stay again.”
