Friday Afternoon: Arrival and Check-In
Roll into Innsbrook around 3:00 PM. As you pass through the gated entrance and take in the wooded scenery, let the pace of life begin to slow. Check into your lakeside chalet or modern villa — whether you’re staying via the resort or Airbnb, many rentals feature private docks, outdoor firepits, and large decks for stargazing.
Friday Evening: Dinner and Sunset at Lake Aspen
Grab dinner at the Clubhouse Bar & Grille, Innsbrook’s on-site restaurant overlooking Lake Aspen. Try the signature burger or trout and a glass of Missouri wine. Afterward, walk down to the water and watch the sunset over the lake — a perfect photo op.
Saturday Morning: Kayaking and Coffee
Wake up early and grab coffee on your deck while listening to the birds. Rent a kayak or paddleboard and explore Lake Alpine or Lake Wanderfern. These no-wake lakes are quiet and serene — ideal for wildlife spotting.
Saturday Midday: Hiking and Lunch
Head out for a hike on Tyrolean Trail, a wooded loop that takes you through pine forests and beside small creeks. Pack a lunch or swing by Wright City for local bites. Return by mid-afternoon for a nap or hammock session.
Saturday Evening: Bonfire & Stargazing
As the sun dips low, light a fire in your private firepit or use one of the shared pits near the lakes. Roast marshmallows, sip a drink, and catch a dazzling display of stars — Innsbrook has minimal light pollution, making it a fantastic stargazing spot.
Sunday Morning: Brunch and Departure
Enjoy brunch at the Clubhouse or cook a hearty breakfast at your rental. Take a slow walk down the trail one more time, or toss in a fishing line for a relaxing hour. Depart by noon — rested, recharged, and already planning your return.
