Great stay!

We enjoyed our stay. It snowed while there and made it magical. The property owner was very nice and told us of the history as we checked in. It was a great place to stay if you want to get away but also be close enough to a larger town if needed. We will stay again.

Short overnight

This was such a quaint, cozy cottage. The owner resides next door and checked us in, gave us the story behind the castle, which we loved. It was remote but close enough to Branson to go to a show. It was definitely worth the stay!
