We enjoyed our weekend with our adult children and grandchildren. The house had plenty of space for the 10 of us. We loved playing pool in the evenings and sitting on the screened in porch with our morning coffee. The house was very clean and well kept. We would stay here again!

Perfect accommodations for our family of 11. We appreciated the large dining table & having a booster seat and pack n play for the baby. REALLY appreciated the fully stocked kithen including mixer, mixing bowls, spices, cookware.. griddle, crockpot, large gas grill keurig, coffee pot, and plenty of dishes & silverware. Loved having the pool table, hot tub & large screened porch. Although a tight fit, we were able to park 4 vehicles in the driveway. Nice neighborhood, great club house & pool! Great location everything we planned was less than 20mins away.Thank you for letting our family stay in this nice home, we'd definitely book again!

Best Vacation Ever

This was one of our best vacation getaways ever. We had a wonderful time exploring the area in and around Branson. The home had plenty of space for our large family and all the amenities we needed. The pool table and swimming pool were lots of fun. It's a wonderful home for relaxing after a day of Branson fun.

Property was big and quiet. The location was great to get to Branson. The ice maker didn’t work and no maintenance person was ever sent out despite communication with property owner. We had a great time and would stay there again.

Family Trip 2026

Overall a nice property. Hot tub was somewhat foamy. Knives and scratches on walls need touched up. Several bad light bulbs. Just little small things. Would have been nice to have pots and pans large enough to accommodate up to 12 people. No scrubber or sponge for washing dishes. Slow drains in bathrooms upstairs. Had a nice visit and would stay here again, judy giving our suggestions for a perfect 5 star rating.

Beautiful home

It was the perfect place for our family get together. We wanted to bring our children and grandchildren to Branson to see Noah. This was a great rental. Clean ,comfortable, great beds, the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. I communicated a couple of very minor things to the owner just so he was aware of them, and his response was immediate. Great place.

Thiessen family

House was great - plenty of space.Kids loved the pool table. Only two issues we had were no extra toilet paper/paper towels and the ice machine wasn’t working correctly. There had been some type of meltdown before we got there and I had to chisel out the ice canal. It happened again during the stay. The bedding was great and there were plenty of towels.
