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.

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.

Absolutely perfect

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!

Fun Home for Family

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.

Spring Break

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.

Family Fun!

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!
