About Us
Rooted in family and tradition, our lakefront retreat blends comfort, charm, and the beauty of the Ozarks to create lasting memories for every guest.

About Tommy's Place
From humble beginnings in North Central Missouri, our family has cherished the values of hard work, community, and connection to the outdoors. Tommy Eugene Melte, a World War II veteran, and his wife Emma Dell built a life centered on farming, family, and creating memories together. Their dedication to the land and love for the Lake of the Ozarks inspired a legacy of warmth, hospitality, and commitment that continues to this day.
As their son, I grew up learning the rhythms of farm life, from riding tractors to managing crops, while sharing in the family traditions that made every moment special. Today, that legacy lives on through our lakefront vacation retreat, where every detail is designed to honor our family’s history and provide guests with unforgettable experiences. Our goal is to combine comfort, charm, and the natural beauty of the Lake of the Ozarks to help families create lasting memories.
