Firefly Cottage was perfect and just what we hoped it would be! Such a beautiful and peaceful setting with lake views and wildlife. We enjoyed setting around the fire pit and relaxing on the deck taking in the tranquil beauty around us. We were close enough to visit Brandon and about an hour from Roaring River State Park. The property was clean and well maintained with a very responsive host. We highly recommend staying at Firefly Cottage!

This place was great! We went for a fishing trip and this place was perfect. There is a nice rock ledge you can sit on to fish. Nothing better than walking out the door and dropping a line!

The house was a very nice and cute cottage/cabin, with an excellent view and outdoor furniture options. There were also basic cooking amenities, such as oil, salt, and pepper. The host was very communicative and fast to respond leading up to and throughout our stay. The only downside was that the shower drained very slowly, leaving us standing in water, and the body wash was out. However, it was an overall lovely two-night stay for our group of five.

A cute cabin with a great view and outdoor space is already a strong start, and it sounds like having those little cooking staples on hand made settling in even easier 😁 We appreciate you letting us know about the slow shower drain and the body wash — that's the kind of thing we want to get ahead of for the next group. Glad the quick communication helped things run smoothly otherwise, and we'd love to host your group again for a return stay!

Charming Lake Oasis

This home was perfect for our weekend getaway to Branson. The home was so charming, clean, tastefully decorated and provided lots of extras. I highly recommend this Cabin for your stay. Being right on the lake with lots of outdoor options.

Clean, cozy, quiet cabin right on the lake! Beautiful views from large outdoor deck. Quiet neighborhood. Comfortable beds. Host checked on us through messages everyday to make sure we had what we needed. Very responsive! Helped calm anxiety if we had needed anything, which we didn’t! Great relaxing getaway.

Relaxing Long weekend

The property is very pretty and surroundings are peaceful. I took my 2 teenagers for a little getaway to spend time with each other before my daughter leaves for 10 months to study abroad. It was a lovely quiet place to be together and a short easy drive from spending a day in Branson.

Table Rock Getaway

So beautiful! Property has a large deck over the lake and we spent 90% of the time that we were at the house on the deck. We were able to go to other activities within an hour. So it was a great location to venture out from. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and it would be our choice again on a future visit to the area.

Beautiful views

Property was exactly as described. The deck and lake views are stunning. We didnt catch any fish and was quite the drive to get to any type of store or restaurant but that is expected when looking for lakefront and quiet relaxation. Would return again if ever a need to be in this area.

Very relaxing

My wife and I stayed there for several days. Normally we would have been on the lake every one of those days. However, the deck overlooking the water, and the coziness of the house, found us lounging for two days without hitting the water. The boat ramp is just two houses away and the Cape Fair Marina was just across the lake. We ate there several times. Overall, this is a great place to relax and enjoy the water.

The property had everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen had all the utensils, pots, pans and small appliances needed, as well as a microwave and full size fridge. There was also a washer and dryer as well. The bathtub was very nice to soak in! The screened porch and the large deck were excellent, and well furnished. The lake was right off the deck and views were amazing! Many thanks, Amy!

Firefly

My daughter and I had a great stay. The first night the air conditioning wasn’t working so it was really warm in the cabin, but the next day a very nice gentleman came and fixed it. It was in a perfect location! We would really like to know where you purchased the chair in the bedroom. My daughter loved it and would like to find one for her apartment!

This property is a hidden gem right on the lake front of Table Rock Lake! Views for days and then some!!! If you are looking for a small, quaint, yet roomy place, this is your best bet! The house has an amazing open floor plan with plenty of room inside and out for hosting and toasting with your lake friends! Bedrooms & bathroom were nice as well! It was equiped with the basic necessities you would need for a few days. Did I mention the views? For those concerned about accessibility for guests with mobility issues, it was fairly easy to get from the parking pad to the house. A paved sidewalk helps those with a walker or wheelchair get to the house. It does have 5 steps to get into the house, but there is also flat access via grass on the other side of the house. Then guests can enter through the deck door into the house! We truly enjoyed our stay and will be back!One last note, make sure you screen shot the map when viewing the directions on your GPS. Some cell carriers loose their signal on Y-20. The 1st right turn is the Brown Concrete Building with Telephone Company Sign. The 2nd right turn is at the T intersection. Should be a black metal fence to the right and wooden fence in front of you. Then you will go straight to the property. Safe travels Everyone!

Table Rock Lake has a way of stealing the show, and it sounds like this spot let those views do exactly that from every angle! Love that the open floor plan turned out to be the perfect setup for gathering with friends lakeside. Really appreciate you taking the time to map out the accessibility details and driving directions for future guests — that kind of insider guidance is priceless when Y-20 decides to test everyone's GPS skills. Can't wait to have you back on the water again soon!
