There are several buildings and different types of rooms here, this is for the hotel separate from the main building. Very clean, beds are pretty comfortable....and that's about it. Old small tv, no microwave, no place to unpack my luggage, no fan in bathroom, uncomfortable chair, bland and boring with a horrible view of just the main building...the lake is... More

I stay at this resort once a year and I always look forward to the visit. That being said, the place does have a 50 year old rustic lodge feel to it. That works on two levels - I really like the lodge feel, the wood everywhere, and especially the heavily wooded area. The lake surrounds the resort, and the... More

I hadn't been to Tan Tar A for a number of years. This resort used to the be one of the best in Missouri featuring luxurious rooms and tons of amenities. It is showing its age, but if you go into it knowing it's not a 5 star resort you'll enjoy it. They would probably have to implode this resort... More

We visited Tan-Tar-A over spring break and chose to stay there mainly because that is where the indoor water park was located. First of all, keep in mind that there's not a lot else to do other than shop during the 'off-season'. Outdoor pools weren't open yet, and it was too chilly to be on the lake. Our 2 kids... More

The other reviews that refer to rude staff , dirty rooms are totally WRONG! Tan Tara A is right on the lake with breathe taking views ! Very comfortable beds with nice comforters and bathrooms with two vanity , nice couch and mini fridge ! The pool is very large and the hottub is superb! The young lady at the... More

The age of this hotel is showing. Hallways smelled musty like they'd been under water. Outside needs painted, inside needs painted and new carpet installed. Could see cracks in the stucco and rust on the patio railings. Great breakfast buffet in the Bears Lodge Restaurant and a great server....however our dinner the evening prior gave me heartburn and kept me... More

If you're looking for a review of the overall resort and activities, this may not be the review for you. :) I stayed here on business during the first week of March during their off-season, so I didn't get to see much more of the resort besides the building I was in. I was fully prepared to absolutely hate this... More

We have stayed at this resort many times and our kids have loved coming for a family get away and my husband and I have also enjoyed romantic get aways as well there. So much to do here. The staff are always so courteous and helpful. This destination is truly a resort and a vacation in its self.

We really enjoyed our weekend at Tan-Tar-A. It was during the winter months so there weren't quite as many things to do, but it was a great getaway for a couple. We used the gym, pool, restaurants, and convention facilities. The Bear Restaurant was above average and the prices were reasonable for a vacation location. The gym was clean and... More
