Rocky Top Lodge is a brand new vacation home on the top level of the Chateau Mountain neighborhood. We stay in several rental homes each year, and this one was certainly up to our standards. The house was clean, well-stocked, and had everything you would need for a few nights' stay. There were a couple rolls of TP, hand soap, shampoo, & body wash in each bathroom, several extra trash bags, and a few dish washer pods to get you started. Obviously, if staying for an extended amount of time, you would need to bring/buy additional items. I'm a toilet paper snob, so I appreciated that a previous guest had left a nice, soft roll JUST for me. :) )
The small arcade games were fun when we settled in for the night, and the neighborhood amenities (though a decent walk down/up the 'hood hills) provided lots to do for our group. Josh (the home manager) was super at communication when we had a few minior issues.
The few downsides to this home were the very iffy Wi-Fi (would work after re-setting for a few minutes, and then quit again, but you could sit close to the house next door & get a hit from theirs if you found a good spot) and the lack of pickle ball equipment for the neighborhood court. (Fortunately, we brought our own!) The refrigerators do NOT have ice/water dispensers, so if you prefer filtered water, heads up! We bought several cases of bottled water, and just used that. There are 2 refrigerators, so that was super helpful. The entry level master could use some new, larger, blackout curtains, as no matter how much I adjusted, the window was never 100% covered. And there is a street light just outside, so it was pretty bright in our room throughout the night.
None of the drawbacks were major (unless you plan to work from the home, then I would certainly verify that the WiFi issue has been resolved), and the home was immaculate. We had a group who thoroughly enjoyed the pool, pickle ball, and basketball courts in the neighborhood! We surprisingly never used the private pool, as the weather was oddly chilly during our Labor Day stay. The location is so convenient to all the back roads - it really didn't take much time to get anywhere-usually 6-10 minutes, max (and The Landing was a little less than 20 minutes away). This was one of our favorite homes in Branson! Definitely recommend!
