Our host was helpful and welcoming. The home was wonderful, with everything one could need for a lovely family gathering. Whitney was very helpful in answering our questions when we texted. We could have read the manual a bit better, but she was kind and helped us anyway. Would absolutely book this home again.
Wonderful house with clean amenities, plenty of indoor activities, a quiet neighborhood, and fun hills in the neighborhood to walk! We loved the design and the porches! Would definitely recommend for a family.
This was a great place and the location was amazing. Walking distance to the brewery and short drive to all the golf courses in the area. House was amazing and perfect for a golf vacation.
The house was amazing. Every amenity we needed was there. It was spacious and clean and easy access to wherever we wanted to go. My family said it was the best place we ever stayed as a family.
Excellent location with access to Table Rock Lake and Branson nearby. Beautiful home, super clean, kitchen had all of the things you need to host a large gathering. I highly recommend!
Whitney was great hostess an so easy to work with!! The house had plenty of room for the all of us! Perfect location for quick trip to town, and very nice an quiet neighborhood. Will definitely go back to stay again!
This house had enough room for my adult family of 12. It was clean and easy to access. We enjoyed the Christmas decorations, game room & hot tub. It was close to the places we planned to visit and was easy to find.
Can’t say enough about this property!
Location AWESOME!
10 min from all the activities in Branson
Lake access
Golf course
One of my top 3 rentals in 20 yrs!
We had a group of family and friends stay a weekend. The location was close and convenient to every thing we needed. The house was beautiful and one of the Best appointed properties we ever stayed at, Was well stocked, . The kitchen was incredible, The beds extremely comfortable. We would hundred percent come back and stay at this property!
We enjoyed our time in Branson at this wonderful Vrbo. The host was great and the house was very comfortable. We had a family of 11 and everyone had a great time. Very close to Big Cedar and Top of the Rock. Our kids loved the hot tub and pool table. The house was very clean and had everything we needed.
This rental was perfect!!! We’ve used VRBO several times and this was one of the best rentals. Our family had plenty of room to spread out and we loved the game room and huge dining table. The host supplied so many little extras that made our visit care free. We absolutely we return!
Wonderful accommodations and an extremely responsive host if/when we had a question! Loved our family time there and everyone was very comfortable. Thank you!!!
The house was clean with more amenities than i expected. The tuberware came in handy after dinner on the night we arrived. Ample amount of towels to fit our large group. The kids loved the game room. All in all it was a great stay.
Property has overload of bedrooms & beds. Nice basement area to hangout & play games. The only down side was the one A/C unit could not keep up with the extreme heat. Noticed other homes in the area had two A/C units. Home owners were easy to communicate with.
We had a large family group stay for 5 days over Christmas. The house was in fantastic condition and so clean on our arrival. We loved all the little touches of decorations for Christmas! Location was great as it was outside of the busy part of Branson. Only about 10 min to grocery stores and some fast food places in Hollister. Kids absolutely loved the pool table in the basement and spent most of their time playing there. We loved that there was plenty of seating and dishes for a large group. Communication throughout booking was so responsive. We will definitely look into staying again in the future!
All 10 of us were pleased with the home and the accommodations. There was plenty of space for all to spread out and do their thing. The teens liked the lower level with the pool table, arcade, and games. The kids never once said, "We're bored or what can we do?" With the games and the pool, they kept busy when we were at the house. The adults had the deck, living room, and hot tub where they could sit and visit.The time went fast which meant that everyone was having a good time.
Yes, we would like to go there again, and Whitney was very helpful with all my questions.
This house exceeded our expectations. Our family of 5 and my sister in laws 5 were very comfortable and had a couple of bedrooms left over. Our plan was to do all the Branson things (go-karts, arcades, etc…) but our 6 kids loved the house so much they didn’t want to leave. They were either playing pool, in the hot tub or playing basketball at the court down the street the whole time. I don’t think they even used their phones or Xbox’s the whole time we were there which is saying a lot for 6 kids 8-15. The host was very responsive and they provided everything you could think of to make our stay great. We especially loved the large dining table that fit our whole family.
We loved our stay. The house was plenty big for our group, not once did we feel like we were on top of each other. Kids loved the downstairs and the little toy room in the master bedroom. The beds were comfy. The kitchen had all the things we needed to prepare meals and treats. We loved the giant table for eating and playing games/cards. We had everything we needed for our family gathering and multiple birthday celebrations.
A bit about the neighborhood, first it's hilly. We are walkers because of our dogs. I personally loved our morning/evening walks and was thankful for a good bum workout. There are only two parking spaces in front of the house, but there are two overflow spaces between the house and the neighboring house. The community pool was a hit! Our kids loved the daily visit to the pool even after their lake time and never once complained about having to walk up the hills :)
Whitney was easy to get ahold of and work with. She was quick to respond to any of my questions and even helped us find the most friendly/picturesque marina for our boat.
Overall we had an amazing first visit to the area. If you have a big gather coming up this is the place to stay!
