Family holiday

The property was beautiful!! Everything you could imagine to meet our needs was supplied. The host was very helpful and was quick to answer any questions. The only wrinkle was learning to navigate the driveway but with the helpful suggestions listed in the our welcome letter, that was quickly accomplished. Highly recommend

Great stay for family gathering

Fantastic location and home. We absolutely loved the setting and being able to let the kids fish from dock and others to jump in the canoes and get to the ‘real’ fishing areas. We also loved the fire pit and openness of the place. Super roomy with everything you need for a great vacation.

This was a great place for my family to meet up with our friends. We both have large families and the lodge accommodated us very well. Everything was as advertised. The kitchen really facilitated both families with dual everything. We loved the canoes and enjoyed a lot of time canoeing around the water, fishing on the dock and campfire by the water.

Peaceful/Quiet getaway Place

This huge cabin was great; it had plenty of room and space that was perfect for all being together and yet if you needed space, you could find someplace to go. The huge kitchen, double fridge/freezers, electric oven and gas stovetop/oven made it convenient for us to cook meals; and the huge dining table allowed us to eat together. The wrap around porch with grill, pool table and rocking chairs made it a fun place to hangout. We enjoyed the huge fire pit several evenings down near the shoreline. We would highly recommend this place and would definitely book it again in the future.in the the evenings.

Taneycomo lake property

It was nice with plenty of room. We wish there would have been better lighting so we could see better to play games and do puzzles. The lake was scummy not appealing for swimming at all.

Big Chill 4

We had 7 people who shared the lodge, everyone loved having their own king size bed and their own bedroom. The kitchen is to died for, double ovens, double coffee pots, double refrigerators, 5 gas burners and pretty much any kitchen tools & supply's you could need. Our group are long time friends that enjoy getting together for relaxing, playing games, cooking and using minimal energy exertion- we call it the Big Chill. Unfortunately, this year was truly a Big Chill event because we lost a member right before this years event. RIP Jimmy Holley! The dock area was pretty mossy but we still had someone who fished and caught three small fish (but he put them back). We built an amazing fire in the fire pit and enjoyed the evening listening to music and remembering those that we loved and lost. We played several games and enjoyed several meals at the large dinning area. We played pool but we had to share the only pool stick that had a felt tip. I bet Management might not be aware that the pool sticks have no felt tips. Big Chill members gives this place total thumbs up and would re-rent again in the future. Thank you, Lori (Big Chill Organizer)

This house is huge and spacious! Lots of outdoor space esp with the 2 porches on the backside looking at the lake. The kitchen was very large and had everything you could ever need! Plenty of large bedrooms and bathrooms. Great for a large family or large gathering. Would highly recommend this place. It was really close to Branson Landing. Everything was a close drive but located away from the traffic.

Grandmother's Birthday

Fabulous home with amenities to match. Very clean, fully furnished home with lots of games and activities for the teens and adults. Waterfront was not "swim-able" according to teens, due to mucky bottom and grasses. Plenty of space for 4 family groups, and 4 teens in the bunk room. Canoes, pool table, and dock made the outdoor experience unique.
