Our family of 21 enjoyed our time here. Beautiful and private. Lots of deer, turkey, etc. beautiful pool and house is roomy and sleeps everyone comfortably. House manager very responsive too! Nice family vacation spot.
We had a small wedding reception here and the place was amazing. It was everything I had hoped it would be. They had everything we needed, the place was beautiful, and clean!
This home and property couldn’t be more beautiful! Plenty of space for everyone to be together or off by themself. We LOVED the pool! The game room was great fun. The views were so peaceful. The 22 of us had a wonderful time. Our host Michelle was quick to respond and address all of our questions and concerns. Highly recommend if you want to have a special time away at a very special place.
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!
A Fortress in the Woods: The Most Relaxing Vacation Yet
Aloha from Hawai'i, We had an unforgettable stay at this stunning fortress nestled in the woods! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the unique, themed rooms and the attention to detail throughout the house. The check-in process was seamless, and Michelle, the host, made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. After a day full of activities, the hot tub was the perfect way to unwind, and the views were absolutely breathtaking. The game room provided endless fun and sparked plenty of “friendly” competition. The house itself was phenomenal—equipped with a two kitchens, comfortable beds, multiple fireplaces, and even a children's playroom. The location couldn’t have been better, but it’s the memories we made that we will cherish forever. We truly felt at home and are already looking forward to returning next summer to enjoy the pool!
This was my last trip with my kids and grandkids. I have stage 4 cancer. 23 of us stayed here 8 days. Something for everyone to do. The grands kids loved the game room. One grandson went fishing in the pond. One granddaughter loved the play house. Hot tub was very nice. Wish it was after May 1 we could have enjoyed the pool. Everyone enjoyed sitting on the wrap around porch looking at the beautiful view. Beds were great, I was in mine most the stay, told the kids I want this bed at home! House is so big you could be all together but also find alone space. Super helpful person for check in and out, My kids plan on going back again, sadly I won't be able, but wish i could. Nice kitchen with large table for everyone to sit at the same time. Great place and the price was right!!!!
Yearly, we get together with 5 families - 10 adults and 10 kids. This property was amazing both with the land and the house allowing our group plenty of space. The kid room was very spacious allowing us to add a few air mattresses in the room, and the kids all had access to their own bathroom.
The main kitchen was large with plenty of room to prep and set out our meals. There is a huge dining table and a smaller table that easily accommodated our group.
The private pool is usually the biggest hit for the kids, but the game room was the winner at this house. The kids loved spending time there.
Personally, the upper deck with several rocking chairs and a porch swing was my favorite.
Michelle was very communicative before our stay. She provided the right amount of detail that we had no additional questions during our stay. We are already discussing returning next year!
My family and I had a beautiful time staying in this home. It was plenty spacious, beautiful and exactly like the photos. The home was equipped with all necessities and Michelle, the owner, was completely available for whatever need. We had a great time enjoying the outdoors and indoors as well.
Just note that you are in a secluded area so internet is not the best, but nonetheless, you are there to enjoy yourself and it is not necessary.
If I must give a suggestion, I’d say that the outside of the home also needs some attention. Although it is perfectly maintained, we did find that the home was surrounded by webs all around. A deep cleaning outdoors or a power wash would do wonders.
Regardless, all in all, it was a perfect home and location. We loved our stay here and would definitely recommend! Thank you Michelle!!
The pictures do not do this place justice -- it was absolutely stunning, and perfect for our group of 19 women, ranging in age from 24 to 70! If you're looking for a wild time and nightlife, this is NOT for you. If you want a place to chill out, reconnect with others, whether friends or family, this place has EVERYTHING! Michelle was a lovely host, answering all of our questions in a timely manner. This huge home was spotless, and the kitchen was beautifully appointed with everything we could possibly need. One note: The two futons in the game room are for children, not suitable for adult sleeping, but there was an extra air mattress and a very comfortable HUGE couch, so we had no problems. The pool was wonderful, as was the hot tub. There is room to roam around, inside and out. The living room was suitable for meetings for our large group, the dining room seated everyone, and there were plenty of nooks for everyone to get some along time, if needed, including on the wrap-around deck with comfortable seating. I would HIGHLY recommend visiting Dancing Bear Ranch, and I'm sure we'll be back next year!! Michelle, thank you for providing such a beautiful venue!
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!
Everything was amazing as usual. Can't say enough about the beautiful space and the views are comforting and peaceful. Always love staying there. Looking forward to trying it out in the summertime.
We had a wonderful Christmas with our entire family at this cozy home. There were so many places to gather but it was also big enough everyone had their own spaces to escape to. The property was gorgeous and the house had everything you’d need. We hope to go back!
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!
Everything about this property was wonderful and absolutely beautiful! Michelle was an absolute pleasure to work with and more than accommodating. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and will definitely be returning.
The entire place was amazing. The privacy, the beauty of the land, just everything. Plenty of space. The second kitchen was nice. The views from anywhere on the property were excellent. Everything was clean and neat and ready. It was easy to tell that there was heart felt intension put into this place. Loved every minute of it. Will be back for sure.
The pictures do not do this property justice. It’s absolutely breathtaking. The bedrooms are spread out for optimal privacy. The kitchen is well appointed. The scenery is unbelievable. The water features provide so much calm and beauty. We will definitely be back to this property.
