When you own a lake home or recreational cabin or cottage, you likely spend more time outside the walls than you do inside. Some understandably find adequate beauty in the natural landscaping that Missouri’s woodlands, meadows, creeks and lake shores have to offer. Others seek to attract certain types of wildlife to their property, and some just love a rainbow of colors and an array of scents.

Start designing the outdoor area of your dreams by getting inspired by some of these outstanding outdoor spaces at Innsbrook!
