Your hospitality is perfect--we felt welcome as soon as we made the reservations--so easy to set up. The home is wonderful--our family enjoyed a 4 night stay and the weather was wonderful, amazing sunsets and the lakeview to die for. All very comfortable, beds were great. Thank you so much for supplying the wood for the fireplace--the kids loved smore night, so we had to do it each night. Look forward to coming back and bringing our parents--Thanks!

For 22 years our family has always taken a pre Christmas long weekend & over the years we have grown & needed more room & this lodge was wonderful for all of us, so spacious & lots of privacy & things to do. The view is amazing & the cosyness was very much enjoyed. Our host Laura is a wonderful person & goes out of her way to welcome you.

What a wonderful retreat was had by all in our family while we stayed at your Red Cedar Lodge. We loved everything--the lodge, the view, the privacy, oh, did I say the View!! We thank you for providing very comfortable beds for we were up and ready to explore Branson daily. There is just so much to see, when we return we will definetely book a longer stay with you! Thank you Laura for all the recommendations of shows, dining and tours, you really went out of your way. Our family thanks you from the bottom of our hearts and we hope to return next spring---Troy

We stayed from July 5th to the 12th,(2009) with the whole family and 5 grandchildren from 9 mos. to 6 yrs. old. They had so much fun, no one wanted to leave when it was time. They had fun swimming, boating, shopping, going to silver dollar city and to the Dixie Stampede for dinner. Every day was an adventure for the little ones. There was something to do for all ages. We will be back again. Red Cedar Lodge is very warm and inviting for all families, young and old. Hopefully, my husband will be able to join in the fun next trip.

This trip was LONG overdue! 5 in our group have been close friends for over 50 years. So those 5 and spouses had a 4 day reunion that turned out FANTASTIC! We had a beautiful home with a gorgeous view! The owners bent over backwards to make sure we were doing fine. The kitchen had simply EVERYTHING we could need including some spices, sugar, flour, cooking oil, etc. And the gas grill was wonderful. We all cooked together and ate our selves so silly we practically had to roll down the mountain to get home! We laughed and told remember when stories and laughed till our sides felt like they were splitting! And the surroundings and the VIEW, THE VIEW, THE VIEW! Made this a most treasured memory for all of us!!! We will be back! THANKS AGAIN TO THE KASSEBAUM'S for making this trip a great memory!

We had a wonderful stay at your beautiful cabin. We loved the decor and how it makes you feel like your away from city life. The view of the lake is just beautiful, and we loved to watch the sunrise and set on it.I especially liked the real fireplace. The one in our home is gas.There's nothing like making your own fire and then setting back and enjoying the warmth. Thank you so much for having such a beautiful get away retreat! The Ward Family

I want this house!! We enjoyed our time so much and being on that deck was pure heaven. It was so quiet and peaceful. This was a perfect retreat for us and a memory for a lifetime. Your decorations I just wanted to take home--just loved sitting there and looking at it all and you just felt at home. The lakeviews are unbelievable and my husband loved the gas grill. Thanks so much and we will definitely tell everyone about our stay at your Red Cedar Lodge--Our Red Cedar Lodge(Wishful thinking). With Christ, Allan and Jacqueline Stockton--Kansas

Laura, We cannot tell you how much we enjoyed our stay. The red cedar lodge is beautiful and there is NOTHING you have not thought of to have in it! Our grandkids loved the loft and we loved the view. It's far enough from Branson to be peaceful, but close enough to have pizza delivered at night! We will definitely be back! Cindy Pratt

This home is also great for couples who want a peaceful, quiet getaway from their hectic schedule. My wife and I enjoyed the spaciousness and the option of relaxing over breakfast and/or lunch while lounging around the home. Absolute tranquility every evening and through the night. Best of all, the owners of this property are totally professional and responsive.

Laura ~ My husband and I were in great need of some down time, which we found in your beautiful vacation home. Unfortunately we were only able to stay for 3 short days. While there we enjoyed the wonderful view and peacefulness. I especially enjoyed the decor as it was just my style. In fact, I'm on the look out for a wood container just like the one used for a magazine holder in the Captain's Quarters:)

Dear Laura, We had without a doubt one of the best times this holiday with our four grandchildren. Their parent's were just around their age the last time they went to Branson!! They were all able to join us over our 3 day stay. Each one had a wonderful time exploring Branson, Which had changed greatly since they were children. Silver Dollar City was the highlight for them on Saturday, the lights were breath taking that night. We had Christmas together Christmas Eve morning. Thank You so much for providing such a cozy atmoshere, it felt just like home. I would love to come back and would highly recommend your home to anyone.

The house is wonderful with a great view of the lake. We visited the first week of November and the view of the fall foliage was breathtaking. I would love to rent this house for a month and just enjoy the beauty and quiet that is in and around this house. I would highly recommend this home to all my friends and family.

The house was spotless with easy check-in and out -- just simple logical rules. It was comfortable and very quiet. Watching the day begin on your deck was wonderful. We would love to come back again!

We had an absolute WONDERFUL time during our stay. The cabin is beautiful and I couldn't resist taking pictures constantly of the view of the lake! We even came home one evening to find a doe and her two babies in the side yard and on our last night there, she came back and brought some other deer with her! It was wonderful! From the moment we walked in the door, it gave us that warm and welcome feeling. That came not only from the home, but from dealing with Laura and Dave. Great people!! We'll certainly be back in the near future and I CAN'T WAIT! I definitely recommend this place! You won't regret it, I promise! Thank you again for your hospitality!

An absolutely incredible home with views that you never tire of. The weather was absolutely perfect being in the mid 80's for our 2 weeks stay. Incredible countryside with the bonus of the bright lights of Branson not being too far away (although I wish Missouri would invest in some street lighting - some of those curves are quite tricky in the dark!)The home had eveything we wanted including the fabulous Commercial grill that we made ample use of. The bedrooms are airy and extremely comfortable and there is everything you need for the perfect "home from home". Who could resist a cup of coffee in the morning, just stand on the decking and listen to the world wake up! Thank you Laura for a wonderful stay - and if we ever venture to Missouri again - we know where to head. God Bless, Stuart and family. PS VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY US

Cabin was a quiet, peaceful and secluded retreat from the craziness of Branson. Layout afforded all eight of us some "alone" space when needed, but also the space to all sit around a table together to eat or play games. We truly enjoyed the gorgeous views of the lake, the deer in the evening, the hummingbirds all day, and the ambience of this cabin.

My best word to describe our stay in Branson is "awesome". The cabin, the view, the hospitality, everything was just awesome. Our children and my husband's sister and her family all enjoyed celebrating our 30th anniversary there. We look forward to future stays at the log cabin on Table Rock Lake. We spent everyday on the lake - Wow, what beautiful water and jumping off the rock walls - what a rush. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your home. Lynn & Gail Keraus and family.

The beds were comfortable and the view spectacular. Thank you for thinking of all the basic comforts of home. In addition, thank you for the thoroughness and timeliness of the registration process. Your husband provided some wonderful suggestions. We enjoyed steaks from the butcher shop, Kirby Burch Magic Show (HIGHLY RECOMMEND) and Silver Dollar City in addition to many other wonderful adventures. Our group of 5 adults, 4 children were very comfortable. Thanks again for the hospitality.

Laura, Wow! You feel like a close friend. I couldnt have been more pleasantly suprised by the comfort and ambiance of your home. We had seen the pictures on the website but they dont even do it justice. It is even nicer than what we imagined. The cabin was so roomy and cozy at the same time. Ya'll did it right!! Not sparing a single bit. It was so cold during our stay so we kept the fire going and we made S'Mores. The kids loved it. I was so blessed by your generousity with all that you have provided for your guests.... all the toys for the kids and the movies and games. It was truly amazing. Thank you so much for our relaxing and exciting retreat. I cant wait to come back in September without the kids. Thanks and God bless. Suzanne Jones

It was with great regret that we had to pack our bags and leave Sunday. We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary last weekend and had a magical time. The house felt just like home only better....no housework! We enjoyed the view, the comfortable and lovely furnishings, the surround sound (movies sound just like at the theatre) and a roaring fire every night in the fireplace. The house was immaculate and had everything we needed to be comfortable, right down to a blanket to cuddle under on the loveseat. It was a weekend we will not soon forget. Thank you so much!

Laura, We loved your home. It is always scary renting over the internet but your house was perfect. Our whole group loved it. It is decorated so nicely and just feels so warm and welcoming. The beds were great (except for the bunkbeds-they are OK for kids but adults won't like them-they squeak!)and the view was beautiful. It had everything we could have needed. We'd love to stay again.

Owner response:Blessed to hear you had a great time-- No more bunkbeds-replaced with a beautiful High 4 Poster Queen Bed with a pull out twin underneath. Luxury Linens as all you deserve! Thanks so much, Laura

The pictures of the house were good, but the house went beyond the pictures. We hope to stay again in the future. I recommend your place to everyone that would consider a trip to Branson.

Laura, we had such a wonderful time at your home. Thank you for being so willing to help with all the information you had at your fingertips. We rented a boat and spent a whole day out on the lake. It was so great to come back "home" at the end of the day and spend the evening out on the deck, watching the stars come out over the lake. Great, too, to wake up in the morning and take a cup of coffee out on the deck to wake up in the cool morning breeze. One evening we even saw an armadillo close up on the front lawn. My girls loved the vacation and it is perfect for getting together with family as it is conveniently located about half way between our Dallas-area home and my sister's home in southern Indiana. We will definitely keep your information for further consideration. In fact, last weekend I gave your brochure to a friend who will be in Branson for a family reunion next summer, with my highest reccomendations. Hope you hear from them soon!!!! Hilarie, Jacquie, Bekah, and Tori Mallette
