Unlike staying in your parents' basement, lodging in a hotel includes housekeeping, clean towels, and permission to watch the scary parts of Home Alone. Luxuriate in liberty with today's Groupon: for $169, you get a two-night stay at Rock Lane Resort, including $50 to spend at Charlie’s Steak Ribs and Ale in Branson (up to a $352.96 value).

Nestled between the Ozark mountains on a private peninsula in Branson, Rock Lane Resort lavishes guests in lakeside views and amenity rich accommodations. Two bedroom condominiums lodge up to six people or 12 Keebler elves for two evenings of recreation beside the shores of Table Rock Lake. Fall into serene somnolence while watching the rolling waves from a private patio or balcony as fresh eats boil their way to edibility in the provided kitchen. Or wile the day away with one of their many amenities, which include pools, boat-rental options, a fishing dock, and multiple athletic courts.

After a day of water and sun, guests replenish energy reserves at Charlie’s Steak Ribs and Ale. The flame wielders at Charlie’s grill up succulent cuts of meat, all aged 21 days, on an open-pit barbecue and seasoned tap masters quench parched gullets with a selection of their very own craft brews. Chef’s season the barbecue sirloin ($10.99) with a signature rub before slow roasting and basting it in house-made sauce. Visitors dine beneath exposed beam ceilings in a ranch-style room while enjoying country music and oldies sung by house musician Rebecca Dawn on Tuesday–Saturday. Charlie’s encourages its guests to pose for snapshots beside their plaster cattle and notoriously egocentric barstools.
