Congrats to The Ozarker Lodge - Branson, Missouri, the 7th best new hotel in America according to USA Today. The ranking says that it excels by "offering vintage accommodations that stir up nostalgia of family road trips, along with modern amenities like an outdoor pool, creek-side soaking tubs, and on-site mercantile shop". I've bolded the nostalgia part of that because the wood finishings do remind me of the times when my mom and dad would take me to Branson and we'd end up in a very 1960's looking motel or hotel. This one is much nicer and fancier than those.

To give you an idea of what a special result this is for this Branson, Missouri place, the others in the top 10 were from big places such as New York, Chicago and California. Tiny little Branson representing Missouri in a big way.

I always put more stock in rankings like this that come from the audience and not a lone blogger giving their opinion. When your audience applauds you, you must be doing something right.
