3 Reasons to Travel More in 2020

As we near the end of 2019, you may be thinking of ways you'd like to improve your life in 2020. Traveling comes with a ton of health and mental benefits. If traveling is on your new year's resolution list, our family-friendly resort at the Lake of the Ozarks is a great place to help make your goals a reality this year! Take a look below for a few of the benefits of traveling and start making plans for a summer vacation to the Lake of the Ozarks!

Benefits of Traveling:

Stress Relief

One of the most important reasons everyone should take a vacation is to reduce the amount of stress in their life. Whether you're experiencing a burnout or you have too much pressure at work, taking a vacation can dramatically reduce that stress. Don't force yourself to keep working with no breaks: your body and mind both need time away from everyday stressors and taking a vacation is a great way to accomplish that.

Improve Happiness

Studies have shown that stress can actually alter brain structure, contributing to depression and anxiety. Research shows that women who do not take regular vacations are 3 times more likely to become depressed and anxious. People who take regular vacation on the other hand, report feeling extremely happy with an overall feeling of well-being. Many of those reports stated that effects lasted well after the actual vacation as well.

Be Healthier

Research shows that going on vacation can actually improve your health. Excessive stress on your mind and body can alter your immune system and lead to illness. By reducing that stress, you'll not only feel better emotionally, but also physically. Taking a vacation is a great way to help prevent illness, from the common cold and flu to more serious conditions such as high blood pressure and heart disease.

Are you itching to start traveling? Summerset Inn Resort and Villa is here for you! We can help you reach your goal of traveling more by providing the best accommodations at the Lake of the Ozarks. Summerset Inn will open in the spring and we'll be ready for your spring and summer getaways!

Health Perks of Planning a Summer Vacation

As we near the end of another season, we always look forward to the next! We truly love providing a fun, family-friendly environment for our guests to enjoy year after year.

Relax with your Family

Unwinding is what vacation is all about! Taking time to decompress can help significantly reduce your stress levels. It can also improve your blood pressure levels, as stress can correlate to those numbers, as well. It's important to take time to relax and reward yourself for all your hard work throughout the year.

Take a Mental Break

The daily grind can wear down your mind. Your tasks can become mundane and you may start to lose interest in something you once cared about. A mental break is great for everyone! It can give you a jump start and even lead you to be more productive upon returning to your normal tasks.

Improve Sleep

Taking a break from your normal routine can actually help you sleep better. As your usual schedule is thrown off, you may find yourself being able to fall asleep easier and experience a more restful sleep, while on vacation.

Boost Energy Levels

Rejuvenate your body and mind when you take some time away from your daily tasks. Spending time with your loved ones away from the hustle and bustle of your normal schedule can do wonders for your energy levels! As mentioned before, you may return to work being more productive and having a more positive energy about you.

Good for the Heart (and soul)

Reducing stress, sleeping better, taking a mental break, and getting a boost of energy are all great benefits that can lead to a happier heart. Vacations are good for your overall well-being and it's important to take care of yourself. Treat yourself by planning a vacation with the family in the next year!

Less Traffic

We love the hustle and bustle of the busy summer months but it's nice to catch a break and be able to relax  little more during the fall months. The road traffic, number of people at attractions and restaurants, and boat traffic will all drop significantly as we enter into fall. If you'd like to experience a slower paced Lake of the Ozarks, this is your chance! Take a deep breath and RELAX at the lake this fall.

Cooler Temps

The heat of the summer makes a great day of swimming and boating, it may be less than comfortable doing many other outdoor activities. From hiking to shopping to hanging out on the patio, there are many enjoyable activities that are ideal for the fall months. Catch a break from the heat and visit the Lake of the Ozarks in the next few months!

Enjoy the great outdoors when you plan your Lake of the Ozarks vacation this fall. From hiking breathtaking trails to sipping wine at one of the many local wineries, there's sure to be a fun activity or two that appeals to your group!
