About this property

Large-group Retreat w/Hot Tub, 2 Kitchens, Grill

You've found the perfect Branson gathering spot for your large group! Driftwood Lodge comfortably sleeps 25 and offers two fully equipped kitchens. Relax in the 8-person hot tub, and have a blast with the theatre room, arcade games, and access to community recreation facilities. Amenity-rich with virtually every convenience, including super-fast Internet, smart-home tech, 3 washers-dryers, and grocery delivery. The cherry on top is spectacular views of Table Rock Lake + the Ozark Mountains.

The unique set-up with full kitchens and laundry areas on two levels and decks and bedrooms on each level (plus a third level) lends itself to two families or groups traveling together that each want their own space.

Note the charming front -porch area as you conveniently enter Driftwood Lodge via keyless entry. Step into the huge, open concept space that includes kitchen, multiple dining spaces, and living space. Gather your large group around the cozy gas fireplace on the living room's large sectional or catch your favorite shows and sports on the TV.

As you begin exploring, discover the convenience of Alexa-powered smart-home technology that allows you to control the lights, TVs and thermostats, as well as stream music throughout the entire house or in a single room. Alexa will offer you a tour shortly after checking in; she will also be able to answer questions regarding your stay and surrounding attractions.

Driftwood Lodge provides TWO fully equipped kitchens to accommodate your large group. Prep and cook meals in the spacious main-level kitchen, featuring double stove/ovens, double microwaves and double dishwashers. You'll have everything you need, including glassware, bakeware, mixing bowls, and all the utensils for meal prep and dining, not to mention small appliances that include a toaster, blender, hand mixer, coffee pot, Keurig coffee maker, and crock pot.

Dine at the huge main-level dining table that seats 16, just one of several options, all of which can provide overflow seating or casual dining spots for smaller groups; these include barstool seating adjacent to the dining table (right next to the coffee station, so a nice breakfast spot), barstool seating at the kitchen island, and barstool seating by the living room. Or you can opt to dine al fresco on the main-level deck, where you can also cook on the large gas grill. And, all this dining space is just on the main level; you'll find more on the lower level.

Step onto the main-level deck and find lots of relaxing seating, and of course, the spectacular views of Table Rock Lake and beyond. Both main-level and lower-level decks offer a front row-view of the fireworks from the Chateau on the Lake Hotel.

Relax in the 8-person hot tub on the lower deck.

Also on the lower level, discover a second fully equipped kitchen with island-dining seating, a dining table, stove, dishwasher, microwave, and full-size refrigerator with ice maker and water dispenser. We have Pinball, X-box, and a shuffleboard table for the kids. An additional 55" TV offers viewing from the kitchen.

Step out onto the lower deck and find seating, amazing views, a small bar, the hot tub, as well as a fire table that makes for cozy gatherings.

The group will have a great time watching movies on the 85" TV in the theater room on eight comfy recliners with surround sound for a full movie experience.

You will likely want to take in Branson's many attractions and entertainment venues, but even on days the gang opts to stay put, they'll find plenty to do at Driftwood Lodge, including indulging in outdoor recreation that includes use of Chateau Mountain community facilities, including heated indoor pool (open year-round) and outdoor pool (open Memorial weekend to Labor Day weekend), cornhole, pickleball and basketball courts right behind the property. The kiddos will enjoy the playground.

After a full day of exploring Branson or chilling at Driftwood Lodge, head to bed and choose from a selection of 10 luxurious bedrooms, many with their own ensuite bathrooms for privacy and convenience. And guests sing the praises of the comfortable mattresses! Bedrooms offer a dresser and closet for your storage needs during your stay.

On the main level, find two luxurious King Masters with private bathrooms, large TVs and comfortable bedding that ensure restful sleep. Both Masters are handicap accessible, and one of the bathrooms is specifically designed to be ADA-compliant. A bunkroom for the kiddos (or kids at heart) sleeps four and has access to a bathroom next door.

Discover on the upper level three beautiful King Masters with large TVs and two bathrooms. One King bedroom has its own bathroom, while the other two King bedrooms share a bathroom. The view of the lake from the upstairs King suite is spectacular. Guests love the soft bedding and high-quality mattresses.

Down on the lower level, sleep selections include two gorgeous King Masters with large TVs and private bathrooms. One bedroom has two queen beds with a large TV and private bathroom. The bunkroom sleeps three and has its own bathroom. Every room provides comfort and relaxation with quality bedding and soothing colors.

You'll love the convenience of a laundry room on the main level with huge double washers and dryers, as well as a commercial ice machine and convertible refrigerator that can switch from freezer to refrigerator with a touch of a button. You'll find an additional laundry area on the lower level.

I'd give 4.5 stars if possible, the place is ALMOST perfect! Some of the cons are nit-picky, but when you pay a premium you expect premium. Pros: lots of space, kids loved the arcade games, showers had good pressure, kitchen has everything you'd need, plenty of parking (even for Uncle's 32' trailer he had to bring), easy check-in and out, communicative and responsive, good A/C, and (most) everything worked without issue. Cons: The nickel and diming, we paid several thousand for a 4 night stay and then they charge for every extra convenience like an early check-in. The floors are filthy; owners requests guests take shoes off, but your feet/socks will end up black from dirt. I don't recommend going barefoot. No sand for the shuffleboard table. Some lights don't work or are hard to find switches. No fans on the main level outdoor deck. Linen's had a weird distribution, had to go hunting for the extra towels. The breakable decor was down low and the plastic stuff up high, not great for little ones. Overall a good experience, I'd recommend.

Fantastic House

This house is awesome! Our large family stayed here over the July 4 holiday. There are so many positive things to say about this house! The large deck had plenty of seating, the washers/dryers were great, the double stoves, microwaves, and dishwashers made things so convenient, the beds were super comfy, and the attention of the host was outstanding. The location is great for quick runs to shopping, grocery, food pickup, and nightly ice cream! Parking is good, and the pool is very close! We’ve already made plans to return next year!

The Entertainer’s Dream!

This house has it all and exceeded our expectations in every way. First off, the location couldn’t be any better! Close to everything. The decor is something out of a Pottery Barn magazine, and the owner has literally thought of every convenience. The smart home features were so high tech and handy! The hot tub was a nice bonus. Most of all, the home is simply set up perfectly to enjoy family and friends while having plenty of space to yourself. The owner was extremely friendly and hospitable. I’d give this six stars if I could.

Family Vacation

This property had the best kitchen setup of any places we have stayed in the past. It even had plastic dishes for the kids. The view was fantastic and the location to the pool was perfect, we could walk there with the kids since it was only 1 house away. Was a little disappointed that the floors were dirty since they turned our feet black. Had trouble getting the fire pits to work.

Disappointed and Unfairly Charged – Would Not RecommendWe were very disappointed with our stay at this property. What started as a beautiful home and great location, was quickly ruined by the attitude and lack of response from the owner. Not only did a malfunctioning smoke detector go off twice during our visit—causing the fire department to show up and completely disrupt our vacation—but we are now being charged fees for damages the host cannot even prove we caused.To make matters worse, we were also unfairly charged for supposed damage by bringing a service dog, which is against ADA guidelines.Instead of taking accountability for the issues on their end, the hosts have chosen to push the blame and costs onto their guests. We’ve used VRBO many times before and have never had an experience like this. We would strongly caution others before booking this property. If you dare choose to stay here, I would highly recommend taking a time stamped video of every inch of that house to be able to prove what the state of the house was in.

Old College Friends Reunion

We were a group of 12 college friends and spouses who gather every year at different locations. We are all in our early 80s, so the house was almost a perfect fit. At our ages, bunkbeds are not as popular and hauling luggage up and down stairs is a little more difficult, but it worked! Frank was very prompt in answering any questions we had. We had a great caterer that Frank recommended come in for one evening. Everyone loved the Dogwood Canyon tram ride as well as the Lost Canyon Cave and nature Trail. The Titanic Museum was also a favorite. All in all, a wonderful time was had by all!

About the host

Hosted by Frank Long

Host profile image
From time to time, families and individuals desire a getaway, a great destination that features comfort and style, provides relaxing spaces and natural beauty — a place to find fun and make memories with family and friends. In the past several years, Frank and Lisa Long have collaborated with architects and designers to create a unique and special vacation experience, a home away from home at Table Rock Lake in Branson, Missouri. Driftwood Lodge and Firefly Cottage offer casual elegance and an unforgettable stay along the banks of a beautiful 47,000-acre lake.

Why they chose this property

Table Rock Lake has multiple new communities specifically for short term rental vacation properties and they are booked year round. There are not enough homes for the high demand of the area. A new community development with fantastic lake views was exactly what we wanted, as it would allow us to design the house and finishes to complement our business model. The phenomenal lake view was a high priority for us, but difficult to find so when we saw this location we knew this was it!

What makes this property unique

The Driftwood Lodge is located in a small community with resort type amenities. Guests have access to all community amenities. Outdoor pools are open Memorial Day Weekend thru Labor Day Weekend. Indoor pools open year around.
