Beautiful lake front home!

We stayed at Branson on the Lake over Thanksgiving. We have rented condos and houses at Branson before, but this house was by far the nicest and cleanest. The house is beautiful and it DOES have EVERYTHING you need! We had 6 adults and 4 children (ages 4-9) and there was plenty of room for everyone. It was nice to have plenty of room to just veg out after a long day of activities in Branson. The house was just far enough from the hustle and bustle but not too far out. The house has it's own dock which the kids and the guys loved! We saw deer and 2 bald eagles! We would absolutely stay here again! We hope to get a chance to stay here in the summer some time when we can enjoy the lake more! I know the kids would LOVE the water trampoline! Bev was very nice to deal with! Thanks for the great memories!

We are still having wonderful memories of your beautiful home at Branson on the Lake. We can't wait until next year to come back again. We have stayed in many condos around the United States and your home was the best so far. We felt so much at home and the view of the lake was great. The home has everything you could ask for. We would have breakfast and lunch outdoors on the deck and then go to dinner in Branson and go to a show. The hot tub was very relaxing. The photos are exactly what it is like. We have recommended the home to anyone we talk to.

Owner response:Thanks you guys for your kind words! We love having our guests and we love it when you truly enjoy you stay. Look forward to seeing you next fall. Bev & Wayne Fevold

We have stayed at BOTL 3 times. Each time we have had a wonderful experience. Table Rock Lake is our favorite vacation destination and part of that reason is BOTL. There are usually 7-10 of us staying in the house and we always have plenty of room and Bev and Wayne make us feel very much at home. We have seen deer, turkeys, chipmunks, and lots of hummingbirds. My grand-daughter loves seeing all the wildlife. The lake is always so clean and clear. We absolutley love Table Rock and would highly recommend staying at BOTL if you have the opportunity to visit this fabulous lake! We will see you next year!

Owner response:Thanks for the nice review. We always enjoy having you guys....you all seem to have such a wonderful time and that is a pleasure for us as well. It is hard to believe that the 2011 season is nearly over....see you next year! Bev & Wayne

A Treat to Stay Here

Date of Stay: 11/27/10 Review Submitted: 11/30/10

This is a beautiful home and is beautifully decorated. It was even more than we expected. Very spacious and homey. When we arrived, lights were left on for us which was very welcoming. The kitchen is stocked with more than enough dishes, cookware, and even spices. The photos actually don't do it justice, it is absolutely awesome inside and out. We loved our visit there and definitely plan to return. After doing the Branson bit, it was a treat to return to this house to relax in front of a fire in the gorgeous fireplace.

We had a wonderful time. Very secluded, quiet and relaxing. There was no need to leave to find entertainment. We had 7 children with us ages 10-17 and they all had a great time. Lake was beautiful and the house was fully equipped. Had so much fun, hated to leave!

Owner response:It was great having you! Glad you had such a good time! Bev & Wayne

Best Vacation Ever!

Date of Stay: 05/29/10 Review Submitted: 06/19/10

My family and I went to Branson on the Lake for one week (May 29, 2010 through June 5, 2010). The house and location exceeded our expectations! It is a beautiful house, nicely decorated, very clean and just steps away from the lake. We enjoyed hanging out on the dock, jumping on the trampoline, having fires in the fire pit at night, watching the wildlife as we enjoyed our coffee, and having competitive ping pong matches! There was no reason to leave the house at all! I wouldl highly recommend this rental! It was a dream vacation and I had a difficult time leaving. Bev and Wayne were very helpful but also respected our privacy. They wanted to make sure that we felt like the home was "ours" during our stay.

Owner response:Thanks so much you guys.....it was a pleasure having you here. Bev & Wayne

We stayed at Branson on the Lake in July 2009, it was wonderful! The house is just beautiful, there are 5 of us and we had more than enough room. The rooms are all big and beautifully decorated. The lake was warm, clean and beautiful. The dock at the house provided hours of fun and a great place to relax in the sun. The Fevolds are excellent hosts, they are doing a great job! We will be going back!

Owner response:We enjoyed having you as much as you enjoyed being here! Looking forward to seeing you again soon. Blessings, Bev & Wayne

We spent the week of Memorial Day 2009 at BOTL. We have two teenage boys who each brought a friend with them. We all had such an awesome time. The home is gorgeous and Wayne and Bev made sure we were comfortable. The weather was a little non cooperative during the first several days but we were able to keep busy with some of the local attractions and ended up playing lots of board games, dominoes and cards in the house. The weather was more cooperative on the last day of our stay and we were able to get out on the lake and enjoy its breathtaking view. BOTL is DEFINATELY a place we will vacation again. Thank you Wayne and Bev for sharing your little piece of paradise with our family and helping us make great vacation memories!!

Owner response:Thanks for the lovely review you guys! We enjoyed having you as much as you enjoyed being here....we hope you do come again. Blessings, Bev & Wayne

We met our extended family at the end of Apr 09 to celebrate my in-laws 40th wedding anniversary. We spent months looking for the right place to stay on the lake and it is safe to say we found it at "Branson on the Lake". Wayne and Bev made this a very memorable vacation and were very generous in their hospitality. My teenagers found all kinds of things to keep them busy and the peace and quiet was perfect. We spent a few days experiencing Branson, but nothing beat the cookouts, water, fishing, bon fires, and Jacuzzi. We rented the pontoon for a day and cruised all over table rock and were able to pull up to restaurants for a quick pit stop. The fishing was great right off the pier where we caught a few dozen fish. As for the house, we had a family of 8 and had more than enough space to sleep and relax. We ate breakfast on the deck every morning and just enjoyed the weather and water front property. Once you see this place you'll understand there is no need to look any further. We can't wait to return!

Owner response:Thanks Scott! We so enjoyed your whole family. You are welcome back ANYTIME! Blessings, Bev & Wayne Fevold

After much searching, we settled on BOTL to celebrate our 40th anniversary. We are from Indiana, and met our daughter/son-in-law and 3 grandkids from Texas for several days. Everyone loved BOTL and had a wonderful, relaxing time. There was plenty to do in the area also. Bev and Wayne are outstanding hosts and just great people. The home and property exceeded everyone's expectations. It was great to have the firepit, hot tub, pontoon, and large table outside, as well as all the wildlife. If it had been summer, I know the water activities would have been a popular feature. We enjoyed Dixie Stampede, the Titanic Museum, '57 Heaven, SIX, and Veteran's Memorial Musem. It was a wonderful, blessed and memory-making vacation for us, and we'd recommend BOTL to anyone!

This is an excellent property for families or couples that want to slow down and maybe get away from the hustle and bustle of the daily routine. My brother, his wife, my sister, her husband met my wife and I at the property over the Easter Weekend. My wife and I arrived first and were very pleased with what we found. Sometimes, the property looks quite different in person than in the photos online. Not the case with this property. What you see online is what you see in person. This property was very secluded in that it was the only rental on this road and you could hardly hear any cars on the other roads. The owners were very informative about the local area, what was in Branson and such. They also provided us with some tips on a local eating establishment that was right on. The weather did not allow for the use of the party boat or the water trampoline but that is ok. If you are very nautical, this would be a good option for you and your family. Nice big screen tv, wireless internet access, good beds, and very clean. We were able to use the hot tub on the first night and it was enjoyable to see the stars and hear the wind and birds singing. This was a most enjoyable trip that I think we may attempt again in the future.

We really enjoyed our stay. The home had everything we needed. The kids enjoyed fishing off the deck, and we enjoyed watching the many different birds that had flocked to the feeders. The hot tub was wonderful! The drive to Branson was very easy! All in all, we had a wonderful vacation and would recommend this home to anyone wanting a peaceful retreat!!

We stayed here in Aug of 06’ and 07’..we skipped 08’ and have been kicking ourselves since! The house is amazing, huge and beautiful. It is also very secluded! The hot tub is wonderful, as well as the entire set up inside and out. We stayed both times for a full week. It was so nice just being there that we did not leave the house at all except to hit the super Wal-Mart to restock on food! My husband, myself, his mother and father and our two children stayed and everyone fell in love with it instantly. We ARE booking for 09’, we will not make the same mistake twice! Thank You!

We were in need of a restful and peaceful vacation in early November. We found both here at Branson On The Lake. Bev and Wayne made a lovely retreat for any family to enjoy. From the extremely comfortable beds to the hot tub....they have thought of everything. We were never more than 30 minutes from some great entertainment in Branson. Our kids are 6 and 8. They loved playing by the shore, getting in the hot tub, playing on the swing set, going for walks, taking pictures of the interesting birds and watching the big screen TV! The rooms are large and everything was convenient. Even a washer and dryer so you don't need to pack as many clothes! Bev and Wayne, you have the gift of hospitality! Thank you!

We book our dates for the next year at BOTL months before we ever arrive for yearly fall retreat! Next year is our fifth year! Every year there are wonderful new touches the owners make - it just keeps getting better. We are all thankful we found this little piece of heaven! It is like a self contained resort! And there is golf, shows, grocery stores and shopping minutes away that we take time to enjoy too. The boat and fishing (from the dock)is a wonderful relaxing activity! Bev, thank you for opening your rental home to us each year...believe me we start talking about the next trip beginning the day we leave! See you in 2009!

We stayed here with special friends from California for my husband's 40th birthday. Kids and adults alike had a blast on the water trampoline, riding on the banana boat and big tube behind the pontoon and catching dozens of fish! The house is beautifully appointed and secluded, yet conveniently located. Very comfortable for two families to share a vacation on beautiful Table Rock Lake. Definitely pack light - all you need is a swimsuit!

We just returned home from BOTL and we had the best vacation ever. We are ready to go back to the lake. We were there with our extended family,kids and grandkids. They just loved swimming off the dock and really enjoyed the water trampoline. We all just enjoyed the swimming and boating so much we didn't want to leave. The house is just beautiful and very well taken care of. Everything you would want or need is provided. The house is very easy to find and very secluded and close enough to go to what ever you would like from shopping to shows or amusement parks. Bev and Wayne are the best hosts and are very helpful and friendly. We could of stayed forever. We will definitely be back and would recommend BOTL to anybody.We want to thank Bev and Wayne again for sharing there wonderful home with us and being such good hosts.

We had a great time and your house on Table Rock is fantastic. With all of the personal touches throughout the house, we truly felt as if we were staying at someone's home rather than a "rental". All of the amenities exceeded our expectations and I have already recommended BOTL to some of my friends. I have rented many homes and villas throughout the US and Caribbean and have always paid more for considerably less...BOTL is really a bargain. Anyway, thanks again for your hospitality and I hope Wayne is feeling better and that you are well.

Owner response:Thanks a million for the kind words, Hans. We too enjoyed having you folks with us and hope you will return. We really try to prepare our property the way we would want it to be if we were staying here as a guest. Best wishes! Bev & Wayne

We shared BOTL with two other couples and it was wonderful. I was a little concerned about the Jack and Jill bathroom for the two extra bedrooms, but it worked out well. Everything we needed was provided by Wayne and Bev and the house was very clean and comfortable. Being nestled in the woods, gave us a feeling of tranquility. We rented the pontoon for a day and thoroughly loved being on the lake. I've already recommended BOTL to two of my friends.

Last year we stayed in a Lakehouse in Kimberling City of which we thought it was very nice.....well let's just say....we hit the jackbox when I booked Branson on the Lake for our family trip this year....the setting is fabulous as is the house. We had such a nice stay that we pre-rented for next year...in fact we are all in agreement that BOTL will be our annual destination....no more searching on the internet for me....yeah!!!

If you have any doubts about whether to rent this home or not, just forget them. Bev and Wayne have anticipated nearly anything you may need for a comfortable stay. Bring your clothes and food because that is about all you will need. We have stayed in several vacation lake homes and resorts around Table Rock, Lake of the Ozarks, and Minnesota. This one exceeds them all. The property is easy to find, yet peaceful and secluded. It has all the comforts of home and is well maintained. You will not regret staying there.

We found this house on the internet and I worried until I got there that it would not live up to my expectations! I must say it far EXCEEDED anything I anticipated, we were not dissappointed in ANYTHING! The house is secluded in a beautiful lakefront setting -- we couldn't have been happier. My adult sons/wife were thrilled, said it was the best vacation they've ever had ! They shopped, golfed, fished, swam (in the very COLD lake water --- too early to be swimming really!) My husband and I relaxed, and enjoyed the view and our stay there SO much. I could live there year round ... I was NOT ready to come home and leave the beautiful, peaceful surroundings ! There was nothing negative about our time at Branson on the Lake at all! Thank you so much Bev and Wayne for sharing your home and being such accomodating hosts !! We'll definitely be back!

We took a spring break vacation with six teenagers and a couple kids. Blindly we took a chance and rented from this web site, not knowing anything about the Branson on the Lake house. We were 100% satisfied when we discovered that we couldn't have possibly rented better anywhere on the lake. You really get a lot of house and amenities with this property for the money. EVERYTHING you could possibly need is equiped in this house, and very nicely furnished. My kids commented about how clean everything was. They thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub, big screen TV (a favorite for X-box) and fishing off the dock. When we come back, we will always stay at Wayne and Bev's home, it truely is the best!

We searched and searched to find that special affordable place for a vacation in the Branson area. Branson on the Lake did not disappoint us! Bev and Wayne have that perfect place. They have furnished this home with everything you could possibly need and it is a short drive to anything you could possibly want to do. From making the reservation to check-out everything was smooth. Chris the property manager was very courteous and helpful during check-in, check-out and about the local area. The amenities including the hot tub, spacious decks, BBQ grill and the private boat dock were used extensively and proved to help make lasting memories. Because of its seclusion, a few mornings we were even able to enjoy the deer and turkey that wander across the property. There is one caution I would like to give though. Be careful your time here will go very, very quickly and you will not want to leave. My family will definitely be returning to the Branson on the Lake property. Thanks Bev and Wayne.

From the minute we pulled into the driveway, we knew we'd made the right choice for our Branson vacation lodging. This place has it all - seclusion, nature, comfortable amenities and Branson entertainment within a 20-minute drive. Your vacation can be super busy or super relaxed - you get to choose! We did it all - we fished, sunned and swam off the dock, boated, enjoyed the quiet, early morning sunrises, shows in Branson, and late night hot tubbing afterwards. Be sure and have your camera ready because you never know what kind of wildlife you'll see. Our teenagers said this was the best vacation they ever had. Our week was over in an instant, but the memories will last a lifetime. Thank you, Bev and Wayne!

Folks it doesn't get any better than this! We just arrived home and we are ready to go back to this vacation home again. The owners have furnished this home with top of the line furnishings. They truly have thought of everything you could possibly need or want to make this a perfect vacation. This home is located on a very quiet spot on the lake but it very convenient to Branson. The boat dock makes a wonderful place to enjoy your morning cup of coffee, or hot tea in my case. Dinner and sunsets are enjoyed from the deck off of the house that overlooks the lake. We ate one meal at the kitchen table. All of our other meals were eaten outside on the deck enjoying the view. This home gets five stars from me in every aspect. Bev and Wayne thank you so much for a very memorable vacation. We will be back!!!!
