With our homes you get so much more than just a bed in a room. Make sure you ask the square footage of other rental homes. We have more than ample PRIVATE parking for you and your boats, family and friends all on level grounds. Plus a one of a kind lakeview and Great Room. This home is private and not in a subdivision.
Our Rusty Moose Lodge is decorated with one of a kind antiques and true lodge decor is located next door to our other vacation home, "The Red Cedar Lodge". This home is just spectacular and features over 6000 square feet with 7 Large King Bedrooms and 5 1/2 Baths in the main house, plus a private Honeymoon Hideaway Suite with bath over the garage. This panoramic 8th master lakeview suite is available for additional $$.
"The Rusty Moose Lodge" is handicap accessible as soon as you arrive. Go ahead-open the door and be greeted by the massive 'Great Room' with towering 30 ft. beamed/tongue & grooved ceilings and surrounded by 23 windows allowing the lake to flow right in. This gathering room goes beyond the call with a huge 20ft long dining table with 18 colonial Windsor chairs-yes, you can finally dine together! Additional seating is at the 10ft kitchen island where you can set up your family buffet. The open kitchen with hammered copper farmhouse sink, smoked cherry cabinets, along with stainless steel appliances and service for 36 has all you need to serve up that next gourmet meal. Or, just step out onto the huge cedar deck that seats 18 and BBQ on the commercial stainless gas grill. The 'Great Room' offers a one of a kind handcarved log & stone fireplace. You will just be amazed by its craftsmanship and say hello to 'Moosey' who oversee's the lodge. 2 Queen deluxe sleeper sofa's adds additional sleeping/lounging areas, along with the 2 man leather chair. Beside the fireplace is a 50" LCD TV with built in DVD.
2 King Master Suites are also found on the main floor. The 1st Suite features a lavish walk-in tiled shower with pebbled floor. This suite is huge and has slider doors giving you complete access to the wrap around deck. Colonial Presidential flair surrounds you with a marvelous high 4 poster king bed, also a twin daybed with pullout trundle is here for the kids. The 2nd King Master Suite has a Victorian touch. All our 8 bedrooms are equipped with LCD TV's with built in DVD and all baths have handicap toilets with grab bars.
Now lets meander up to the 2nd floor where we will be greeted by handmade log railing, plus 2 more large King Master Suites with a shared Jack-n-Jill bath. The 3rd King Master sports a high 4 poster king bed along with a twin daybed and pullout trundle. A large window allows you to let the lake waters right on in. Across the hall is our 4th King Master with a one of a kind king wagon bed-yes, a true Amish wagon bed with 2 twin pullout trundles underneath. This room allows you to overlook the 'Great Room' through it's window and also lets the panoramic lakeviews wake you up each morning.
Ready, now let's go up to the 3rd floor were you feel as though you are on top of the world! With this extensive log railing this makes awesome group family photo shots. Our 5th & 6th King Masters will be like being in a tree house. These suites offer unbelievable lakeviews. One suite is decorated with old duck decoys/canoe signs and the other suite is our Captain's retreat with a massive antique ships wheel over the bed. A shared bath is out in the hall before you get to the Juillett balcony that overlooks the trees.
That's not all! Let's head our wagon to the Game Room & 7th King Master Suite in the basement. Now, this is not your ordinary basement and won't even feel like one for the huge floor to ceiling windows grace the whole wall allowing the lake to flow right on in. The 60" Aquos LCD TV with complete Bose 6.1 Surround Sound will make your popcorn taste even better(large video library provided). Play a game of Pool or Foosball or pull out one of many family games. A deluxe Queen sofa & twin with pullout trundle is great for the extra family members. Open the double doors and this leads you to the 7th King Master Suite decked out with cowboy flair. Plus a large full bath will make this a wonderful escape.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Welcome to our family. That's how we want to make you feel when you vacation in our homes in Branson. Each home has a special part of us in it that we wish to share with your family. As our quote says on our home page, "Families are like branches that grow in different directions, yet the roots remain as one" We are a family with a foundation of Christ and pray your time in our homes reflect His beauty and His peace. We pray you will be able to stop and look at the glorious nature he sets before you each day and remember his promises to you. David, my husband & best friend is a wonderful, humble father of our children, Zachariah and Hannah. David enjoys hunting, fishing, baseball, basketball and of course a quick nap when he is able to sneak one in. He loves woodworking when he has extra time and enjoys collecting older/antique guns. My mother & best friend, who was an extremly talented & beautiful Folk-Artist, was in the B & B business for many years and also the antique business for over 50 years. So I have been blessed by her teaching, to decorate, to create a relaxing and peaceful surrounding that will just envelope you when you enter through our doors. So when you are a guest with us, you are not only seeing a piece of what I love to create for you, but also a piece of my mother's love. I, Laura, will have the pleasure speaking with you when you call. Our Family loves the Ozarks and the wonderful, gracious people who make you feel invited at anytime. While you are here you will meet some of the nicest people and you will want to come back year after year. So Come, Vacation With Us and let us Serve You!
Why the Owner Chose Branson
Branson is a beautiful area resting among the Ozark Hills along with the tranquility waters of Table Rock Lake & Lake Taneycomo. Tremendous fall colors will rejuvenate your senses--I love the Fall--the colors against the lake are just inspiring!

We rented both homes this past week and found them to be more enjoyable than being at our own home. The Rusty Moose was awesome from the moment we arrived, wished I would have taken a video when our family came through the door--just takes your breath away. So very large yet so comfy and cozy. Laura, you were a joy from the start to work with. WE Will BE Back!! I need to know the mattress brand, they were fantastic and we really enjoyed having our own rooms. God bless you and all you do, for your homes are lovely. 5 Stars!!

THis was one of the best family reunions our family ever thanks to this great home. The Rusty Moose easily accommodated our group of 18. The home is well equipped for large groups. The owners are very pleasant to deal with and always responsive to their guest. I highly recommend the Rusty moose .The view is outstanding and the home is centrally located.

From the moment we arrived, to the moment we opened the great room door. We were in awe of the pure amazing beauty of this home and truly blessed immediately by the peace and love of the spirit that is found in this place-"You are awesome in this place, Mighty God!" I cannot express the joy and the overwhelming excitement to see family members arrive one by one and enter this majestic place. No words could be formed. Laura, you were awesome to work with and everything was so easy to plan and all your ideas and advice was priceless. I could really just go on and on and on. You have truly impressed me by the love and grace you have placed in this home. You turned our holiday memories into laughter, joy and peace. We were a family under one roof for 4 days and we had more room than we could ever need and everything was perfect! This stay will be lived in us for many of years, and we hope to all gather again in the Lord's--Rusty Moose Lodge. May many blessings be poured into your cup, for you have overfilled ours!

I'd rate the Rusty Moose Lodge a 10 on a scale of 5 if I could. I stayed here in April of 2008 (this web site wouldn't let me use a date that far back) for a reunion with a large group of former high school classmates (Grandview MO Class of 1965) and had an absolutely marvelous stay. Everything about the lodge completely surpassed our expectations. We reserved the Lodge well before construction was finished around Thanksgiving, 2007, and the owner kept us updated regularly with progress photos. The furnishings are absolutely beyond first-rate; Laura the owner is a perfectly marvelous person to work with and is justifiably proud of her property; she and I still continue to share friendly emails. Since the lodge was only 5 months old when we stayed there, everything was in like-new condition. We had 14 people staying at the lodge with 4 more in RV's parked nearby. The house easily accomodated our large group, and the dining table that seats 18 was perfect for us. The kitchen got a little crowded when 6 or 8 of us were trying to cook at the same time, but other than that, everything was outstanding. We also discovered that the built-in DVD player in the large TV plays Kareoke CDs, so we were able to totally enjoy an evening of great "singing"! Each bedroom is individually decorated with lush, beautiful furnishings, and everyone of our group was very impressed with the entire property. Be sure to visit the owners' web site to find out more about this and their several other properties, one of which is right next door to this one if you have a REALLY large group. The large deck was a perfect place to enjoy morning coffee and (one or three) evening cocktails, and the gas grill helped with more than one of our dinners. While the town of Branson isn't just next door, the ride into town or to the Branson Belle is a pleasant one with not too much traffic when we were there; there is a Walmart in Branson West and a nice grocery store relatively close towards Kimberling City as well, so it isn't necessary to bring a lot of groceries with you. I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our much-too-short stay at the Rusty Moose Lodge. The time of year we stayed had a rental rate that could NOT be beat anywhere! If our group returns for another visit, this beautiful lodge will absolutely be at the top of our list as it should be at the top of your list. If your group chooses to stay here, you will not fail to be impressed! Recommended for: age 55+, families with y

The Rusty Moose is an absolutely georgeous home that was a real pleasure to stay in for a little getaway. The only problem?? We wanted to stay longer! Very cozy and feels like home despite its size. We stayed during Valentines weekend and the weather was cold and snowy, so we literally built a fire inside and just relaxed. Loved it!

Thank you so much for making such a beautiful, cozy, and large home! Our group of 25 people had a wonderful time and are looking forward to coming again next year. Everything was better then we even expected. Your family has really gone the extra mile to make this place special and unique. We noticed all the special touches. :) Thank you!

Women of Purpose from 1st Assembly of God: This is our second year to stay at the Rusty Moose Lodge and we were, once again, at home. This is such a comfy place to stay and enjoy each other's company. It is an awesome "retreat" home that offers beautiful views and comfy surroundings. There's not a bad room in the bunch. Last year the weather was a beautiful 65 degrees and offered lovely sunsets. This year, the weather was cloudy, but the last morning we were there we woke up to snow touched trees and the view was just as awesome!! Thanks, Laura for making us feel at home!
