Incredible place for a quiet getaway. It just warmed up for us into the hi 60's low 70's. During this time frame there werent too many vacationers so it was incredibly peaceful and quiet. Fish were biting and we caught a few crappie. Wonderful location as the cabin backs up to a small lake and is adjacent to a small communit y center where you can play volley ball, basketball and have swings and slides for the small kids. The cabin is very clean and has all the amenities that you would hope to have. We used the fireplace for a couple of the nights as it did get cool in the evening but it made for a cozy evening. Very picturesque drive from the entrance of the resort to where the cabin is at. Rolling hills with trees abound! Just gorgeous for our long walks that we had. We have 2 teenage boys who typically say " we are bored, isnt there anything else to do?" On this trip there was none of that boredom at all. if anything they slept alot as we had plenty of fresh air to help promote peaceful and restful nights. Downtown branson is definitely about 10 minutes away as wellas the big lake. Everything is very easy to get to. Tom was very accomodating and great to work with during the rental process. We will be looking to see if we can come back again in the late August early September time frame to enjoy Branson again as well as the cabin :)

The lodge was a very nice place to stay and very private. Had a bit of a problem finding the turns at night, but however made it. It was nice to get out of town and enjoy yourself away from all of the things going on in Branson. the screened in porch was wonderful. Wish we would have had more time to enjoy all that the lodge and Branson had to offer. (Transferred from Homeaway Guestbook) Positive score: 5/5

Our family of 4 rented this lovely home in August 2010. It is really as beautiful as the pictures. The house is fully stocked with supplies (non food) that you need for your visit (laundry soap, dish soap, toilet paper, pots/pans ect)..just a quick shop at near by Country Mart (great place for black angus beef and the best bacon cheddar burgers ready for the grill) and we were ready to "vacation". the house is located just across from the best swimming pool in the community (there are 3 I think), the lake is stocked with fish. My husband had to run between the kids poles to release the perch. We also caught a 4 lb. bass and big catfish! Tom, the owner, we very helpful, making our first tee time at the lovely golf course as well as info for Table Rock Lake Marina for boat reservations. All very convienently close by. We found the place professionally managed, quiet, family friendly and just a few minutes from the main attractions. Thanks for a great two weeks. Rebecca

This cabin was not only very nice but it also suited our needs nicely. We have two small children and there was plenty of room for naps, etc. Even the nicest of motel rooms cannot offer what we had here. We loved the screened in porch as well as the amenities the property offered such as the playground and the pool. A great big thank you to Tom for helping us with this rental property!

What a great getaway! I love this lodge and the proximity to the Pavilion and the lake. Full moon walks around the lake in the evenings were beautiful. The weather blessed us as the fall approached with golden and fiery colors. We had a blast at Branson Landing and Old Town. Had a great dinner and fabulous show on the Branson Bell, and to top it off, Silver Dollar City, the historic start to this exciting place. Great entertainment, fun shopping and the Marvel Cave that started it all were the highlight of the trip. A wonderful place to come “home” to. Thanks!

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful lodge with us and for going the extra mile so we could stay in it. It is everything you said it would be. For years I’ve passed Stonebridge and thought how beautiful it looked. My daughter, her fience’, and I had a great time going out, resting, even studying. I especially liked the walking path around the lake. I will surely call on you again!

We were here for our parents’ 50th anniversary & a family reunion. There were 17 of us in all and we all stayed in lodges. We had a wonderful time and found the accommodations excellent. We would like to start making this an annual event and hope to return soon. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your lodge #72.

Thank you so much for sharing your place with us, and thanks for the personal concern. It was just as you said, “clean, comfortable, convenient, and close.” We had a great time and hope to come here again

We enjoyed our stay. Our four grandkids, as did we, liked having the pool and playground so close.

Thank you so much for letting us enjoy your beautiful lodge. My brother and sister-in-law and their 2 children come down during our stay. The guys really enjoyed the fishing on your lake. My son is 14 and he is all about the country so your lodge was exactly what he wanted. The lodge was clean and just beautiful. Everyone enjoyed the swimming at the new pool, fishing, the driving range, the views, just everything. We really wish we didn’t have to leave. We hope we can stay in your lodge again next year.

This is the best way to vacation – away from the “strip”, close to the fun, and with laundry facilities! It’s always much better than a hotel stay. The location of your lodge is great. The adults could relax on the screened-in porch (where we could keep an eye on the boys) as they went fishing, and swimming, and not worry. It’s really nice here, and we’ve enjoyed your place so much! Thanks for sharing it with us.

We just returned 6/25/07 from a three night stay at this cabin. We met another couple there. The cabin was great. We both had a "master" bedroom for lots of privacy, yet had a nice great room and screened in deck for visiting. The cabin was clean, nicely appointed and very comfortable. The reservation process went very smoothly. I would highly recommend renting from this owner!

We stayed in a two bedroom lodge in March of 2007 and absolutely loved every minute of our time here. The weather was still a little cool and the trees bare but Stonebridge is breathtaking any time of year and the lodge is first class all the way. Hidden Valley Lake is very picturesque, and you can hear the stream at night. The furnishings and decoration of the lodge left nothing to be desired and we especially appreciated the fireplace in the living room with cable TV, the cable TV in both bedrooms, and the full master bath and Jacuzzi tub for each of the bedrooms. My husband and son went fishing on Lake Taneycomo and easily caught over their limit of trout -- had to release several. That night I was able to use the fully equipped kitchen to prepare a fabulous fresh trout dinner which we enjoyed outside on the screened-in porch. Everything was really perfect and we look forward to returning. Nancy and Ed Latthitham, Ventura, CA
