Marla and Bob, Thank you for sharing your beautiful condo. It is unusual to see such "hands-on" owners, as evidenced by your frequent entries in your guest book. My wife and I agree, that in our 47 years of marriage and 20+ years of vacation rental experience, from New Jersey to Hawaii, your condo ranks in the top two places we've visited. We come to Branson, each fall. We, especialy, enjoy the Oak Ridge Boys and the Mickey Gilley shows, the train ride, the shopping at the outlets and Branson Landing, and the fall colors, in the Ozarks. We think that we've found the perfect place to stay, in Branson; and, we hope to return, to your rental, many more times. Our friends, who meet us each year, were so impressed with your condo that they "wished you had two more, just like it". One of the wives said that she would "forfeit the rent on their place, to stay in one like this". Thanks, again, for providing a beautiful place. Jo and Mike Cooper, Texas
Owner response:Jo and Mike, thanks so much for your kind words. We appreciate you staying with us and we are so glad that you enjoyed yourselves at The View. We look forward to having you stay with us again!

This was our first VRBO/renting a condo experience and it was the best vacation I have ever had! Bob and Marla were helpful and make you feel welcome throughout the entire experience. The place was warm and inviting...it felt like home the minute we walked into the place. Lots to do and see in the area. The next-door marina was very friendly and helpful with our boat. The pool was clean and relaxing. The view....well, it just can not be expressed in words; it must be experienced! Don't hesitate, the reviews are not exaggerating...this is the vacation of a lifetime.
Owner response:We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us at Table Rock Lake and hope you will stay again with us soon. Thanks for your feedback! We do try very hard to make the stay very enjoyable for our guests.

WOW! We couldn't have asked for anything more perfect for our getaway than this! Thanks, Bob and Marla, for everything you did to make your "home away from home" feel like our "home away from home." We thought it looked fabulous from the pictures...and it was beyond what we imagined. The location is incredible - from the condo being right on the lake, to the easy access to Branson, or even just to the proximity of a grocery store. We spent LOTS of time relaxing on the balcony (talking, reading, eating...it was definitely our favorite spot), watched a few movies, spent a day on the lake, caught a show in Branson. Every time we came home from being out, we all gravitated back to the balcony to watch the boats on the water and listen to the waves splashing on the shore below us. So peaceful!!! Not only would we recommend this property to our friends, we already have! We hope to come again soon!
Owner response:Hi Terry, Cyndi, and Rachel, We are so glad you had a wonderful stay at our condo. It sounds like you and your family made some beautiful memories while enjoying the view of the magnificient lake on our balcony. It is such a beautiful view and the condo is so graciously accomodating, we feel happy we get to share it with our guests. Thank you for your kind words. Marla and Bob

Best condo at The View. Best owners to deal with. Just as the website states. Very clean, very private, best view. Loved it! We will stay no where else again. Would recommend this property to everyone, and already did. Many things to see, but most of all the beautiful view-every morning and every night. Thank you!!

Thank you so much for sharing your special lake home with us! You have provided all those "little extras" that are so important when traveling! It was quiet and beautiful. Seeing all the lights across the lake and hearing the night sounds was truly awesome. We would sit out on the balcony every morning and watch the fisherman and just enjoy the sunrise. It was close enough to Siver Dollar City and all the music shows but far enought away to enjoy the quietness. We will remember this vacation for a long time and will definitely be coming back.

Wow! Thank you for a wonderful stay at your beautiful lake home. Everything was perfect! You have to see this spectacular view in person to believe it! The condo was beautifully decorated, very clean, and well supplied, with many extras. Even the carpet was luxurious! Table Rock Lake itself was so clean and clear, we could actually see our feet below when swimming in it. The State Marina was only 5 minutes away and had so much to offer. The staff was fun and friendly. We rented a ski boat and enjoyed my husband’s birthday on the lake. He didn’t stop smiling the whole time! We spent every morning with coffee and breakfast on the balcony while enjoying the mountains and lake, singing birds, cranes, butterflies, and rabbits. We spent evenings relaxing on the balcony with incredible sunsets glistening across the lake and "cotton candy pink" clouds against the golden blue sky. God’s beauty was everywhere! We spent our last day exploring around the area of Table Rock Lake, Taneycomo Lake, Lilly’s Landing, historic downtown Branson, Mount Pleasant Winery, and the Branson Landing. We did not want to leave and are already looking forward to planning our next trip back. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home. What a blessing you are!
