What to see: Spring brings new life to the College of the Ozarks campus, and there’s no better place to take it all in than from the private balcony of a guest room at The Keeter Center. Rolling green pastures, flowering landscapes and the iconic chapel steeple create a peaceful backdrop for your stay. Inside the dining room, guests enjoy refined, student-prepared cuisine paired with sweeping views that celebrate the season.

What’s new: This April, The Keeter Center introduces a refreshed seasonal menu highlighting farm-fresh ingredients and locally sourced produce.

Don’t miss: Step outside and explore the charm of the College of the Ozarks. Visit Edwards Mill and General Store, the Stained Glass and Candle Shop or the Ralph Foster Museum for a glimpse into history and craftsmanship. A leisurely walk around Lake Honor, where swans glide across the water, offers a moment of quiet reflection at the center of campus.
