Our host was helpful and welcoming. The home was wonderful, with everything one could need for a lovely family gathering. Whitney was very helpful in answering our questions when we texted. We could have read the manual a bit better, but she was kind and helped us anyway. Would absolutely book this home again.

Thank Michelle! You were great guests. No one reads the manual so you're in good company! Hahaha,
Wonderful house with clean amenities, plenty of indoor activities, a quiet neighborhood, and fun hills in the neighborhood to walk! We loved the design and the porches! Would definitely recommend for a family.
This was a great place and the location was amazing. Walking distance to the brewery and short drive to all the golf courses in the area. House was amazing and perfect for a golf vacation.

Thanks for staying at DFR Holly! I love that you enjoyed your stay.
This house had enough room for my adult family of 12. It was clean and easy to access. We enjoyed the Christmas decorations, game room & hot tub. It was close to the places we planned to visit and was easy to find.
We had a great stay. Kitchen and bath was well stocked with supplies. Plenty of sleeping options for a large family or group. Our kids had a great time in the large den downstairs. Nice location and pretty surroundings.
Would definately book again.

We were so impressed with the accommodations! Toys for our toddler, sippy cups and toddler spoons! If we forgot it, they had it! Lovely and quiet. Very peaceful. Plenty of room and lots to do. The owner was fantastic at responding to questions/needs. Would stay here again!

:) Sherry, you were a pleasure to host and would love to host you again. I love that your littles got to use their things!
They went above and beyond for us. They provided much more than we expected, most places don’t provide much. They answered every question we had and answered promptly.

We enjoyed our time in Branson at this wonderful Vrbo. The host was great and the house was very comfortable. We had a family of 11 and everyone had a great time. Very close to Big Cedar and Top of the Rock. Our kids loved the hot tub and pool table. The house was very clean and had everything we needed.

So glad you enjoyed your stay! It is a great house for hosting large groups. Hope you come back to stay again.
This rental was perfect!!! We’ve used VRBO several times and this was one of the best rentals. Our family had plenty of room to spread out and we loved the game room and huge dining table. The host supplied so many little extras that made our visit care free. We absolutely we return!
