There are quite a few nice places to rent and some of them have decent sized docks to have a party on them. If it were me coming to the lake for the first time I'd definitely check into some of the following places:

Camden on the Lake 7mm: http://www.camdenonthelake.com/?gcli...FRPl7AodD3YAug

VBRO Vacation Rentals: http://www.vrbo.com/vacation-rentals...-of-the-ozarks

Tan-Tara Resorts (it's a little older place but the Canadian's said it's a blast, they have both the hotel and rental condo/cabins) http://www.tan-tar-a.com/

We head to the lake almost every weekend from Omaha (5 1/2 hours one-way), for the Shootout weekend we come down on Wednesday to make a long weekend and catch all of the festivities... Jim
