About this property

Private Retreat with Majestic Views - Just 15 Minutes from Branson

Forget your worries in MAJESTIC VIEWS - High in the Branson hills, it doesn`t get better than watching the sun go down from our porch swing or the rocking chairs on the back porch of our Dancing Bear Ranch. You can listen to the flowing water run from our two streams and watch the deer graze in the valley nearly every evening. We are truly proud of this special place and can`t wait to share the experience with you and your family at this spacious and serene space.

FAMILIES WELCOME - We put great care into providing an exceptional stay for families of all sizes. It starts by providing baby gates and child-friendly dinnerware and sealable containers for food on the go. We have a younger-kids-oriented play area to keep kids entertained and plenty of space for them to play. This three-level home provides multiple separate living areas! Plenty of room for adults, teens, and children to have their fun in different areas, but enough space in the open floor plan to bring the whole clan together!

**FREE ACTIVITIES INCLUDED WITH YOUR STAY! Valid through April 1, 2027 **: As a thank you for staying with Branson Memories & Lodging, you will receive one (1) complimentary admission to each of the participating local attractions every day of your stay! After you make your reservation, you will receive an email with instructions on how to redeem your complimentary admissions. Tickets are available per day (including the day you arrive and the day you depart), but not per guest. Tickets are noncumulative and any unused tickets expire daily. [This is NOT a time share. Only valid for short term stays of 14 days or less.]

Silver Dollar City
White Water (seasonal)

WonderWorks
Adventure Zipline
Legends in Concert
The Redneck Comedy Bus Tour
The Branson Ferris Wheel
Xtreme Racing Center

OUTDOOR ENTERTAINMENT - One of the things that separates Dancing Bear Ranch from the rest, is that it sits on private property that is yours alone to enjoy during your stay. Taking a walk down to the spring-fed creek on the property is one of our favorite little excursions. Along with the private pool area, outdoor hot tub, and fire pit, you can enjoy the best of what Ozarks has to offer.

IN-HOME ENTERTAINMENT - When it`s time to bring the fun inside, this custom lodge offers the best for both rest and entertainment. The large open floor plan offers multiple living areas with lots of room, so there is always a place to get away for rest or fun. The game room includes shuffleboard, ping pong tables, air hockey, and a 400 arcade game console. In our large main living area, we’ve included cards and board games that will provide fun for the whole group! For the serious card players, take it upstairs to our exclusive gaming nook featuring a Brunswick poker table, chips, & cards. There is truly entertainment for everyone at the Dancing Bear Ranch!

LAKE ACTIVITIES - Table Rock Lake is known as the Ozark`s premier locale for beautiful views, water sports, and fishing. Many of Branson`s 9 million visitors per year come to enjoy its beauty. For those bringing boats on the trip, we have plenty of room for boat parking.

AREA ATTRACTIONS - When you visit Branson, Missouri, there is truly a great time for everyone. Spend a day on Table Rock Lake, visit the world-renowned Silver Dollar City theme park, visit one of the many great shows or museums, or play a round of golf. Branson is quickly becoming one of America`s premier golf destinations, hosting PGA tour events and boasting courses designed by the world`s greatest players such as Tiger Woods. If some shopping is in order, Branson Landing or Tanger outlets are sure to provide all of the specialty shops and big-name brands on your list! Top it all off with a relaxing visit to the spa, or bring things back to the lodge and watch the sun go down with a soak in the jacuzzi. Branson Missouri combines all of the entertainment you`re looking for without the stress and price tag of all those big-city destinations.

KITCHENS - This home boasts two kitchens, one on the main floor and another on the lower level. Both kitchens are fully stocked and ready for use. Both kitchens contain large double-door refrigerators along with dishes, cookware, pots, pans, and everything else you`ll need to entertain the biggest groups! The main dining area seats a total of 18 people and consists of two tables that together seat 16, and 2 bar stools at the island. There is additional seating in the living room and an additional 8-seat dining table in the downstairs living area. Anytime you want to take the meal outside, we have seating out on the wraparound porch and chairs on the back patio as well.

We had 10 adults and 10 children under the age of six and this property fit us perfectly… There was plenty of space to eat to sleep and to play. If you need a place that makes you want to stay there, this is the one. Because the kids were young, we needed room to run and play. I can see us coming back when the kids are a little older because the game room would’ve been great for preteens! Thank you very much for a beautiful day.

We had an amazing time staying here for our book club retreat! The house comfortably accommodated 19 women and we loved the various places to congregate - the large living room, covered porch, and pool area. It's so rare to find a property that not only sleeps several people, but has large common spaces as well. The grounds were scenic and we appreciated the fully-stocked kitchen. There was plenty of parking space too!

Our family loved staying here. The pool was great. There was plenty of room for all to spread out and enjoy individual activities or come together for shared family time. The kitchen was well stocked. There was an issue with the internet but our host Michelle was so responsive to us and worked all of one day to get it going so the guys and gals interested could watch the world cup games. The pond was available for fishing which made several in our group very happy and they brought their canoe along. The view from the porch was spectacular. My 3 adult children and I were out there early every morning with coffee and quality time together. Several deer were spotted in the lower meadow. This is a peaceful and serene place to get away. I recommend highly!

Seclusion & Fresh Air

With a family of 22 it’s hard to find a home away from home easily. We searched for the perfect fit for our Branson trip & couldn't be happier with our choice! All the rooms fit our needs and the views are incredible. The host is above & beyond responsive & who wouldn’t appreciate that. Everything we did as a family ended up being about a 20m trip from various locations & was just the perfect distance for all of us. If you’re looking for a private setting with lots of space o doors & out, this place is for you!
