Home was excellent. It was clean and spacious; plenty of room for the family. It was a very private location with a great view of the lake. The only real negative was that the trash can/dumpster was all the way out at the main road; we would just loaded it up once a day and drive it down. Overall, great experience!

Very private with beautiful view of the sunrise over the water. Beds were extremely comfortable, and the home was clean and well taken care of. One tv... If that matters to you. We enjoyed our peace and were too busy to really notice. Would definitely stay again without hesitation!!!!

Comfortable, Clean Cabin

Stayed a week with family and loved it. The lake view was stellar. It felt very secluded and private. The cabin was spotlessly clean and smelled fresh. We especially loved the short yet beautiful drive to Branson.

Great place for a family reunion!

Great home and great location, tucked up in the trees. We could walk down to the lake and we also rented a slip at Long Creek Marina. It was about a 10-12 minute drive there and made it easy to spend the day on the lake. It's about a half hour into Branson and we spent a day there too. We loved the place and hope to return again.

Blue eye

Property was as described and was clean inside. The yard appeared it hadn’t been mowed in quite a long time and was over 12 inches tall so spending time outside other than on the deck was out of the question.

Gorgeous, huge and PRIVATE!! Outstanding new comfy living room!!

Every space was larger than the photos. The deck has an awesome view. We met another retired couple and they had their own level with King bed, huge closet, extra bedroom, jacuzzi tub and even sitting area upstairs with impressive view. We chose to stay on the lower level due to my preference to not have stairs. We had our own en-suite bath, queen bed and private entrance. Very comfortable also. Full bath for main living area as well. This is the one!!

Beautiful, peaceful, and remote sanctuary nestled up in the Ozarks, yet still close to all the Branson attractions.

Our family had a great & peaceful time at our cabin, "ONCE UPON A VIEW" in Blue Eye, Missouri, just 25 min from Branson. We were here for 5 days to enjoy a show in Branson. But this remote sanctuary was the highlight of our entire stay. It was great to get away from the main Branson area, away from all the noise & traffic that comes with such a tourist destination. We watched the play, Esther, in Branson, and we drove back to our fortress of solitude up nestled on the Ozarks, overlooking Table Rock Lake. Definitely need an SUV when you come here, as the cabin is about 1/2 a mile up on the mountain, not too bad during dry or just wet weather, but definitely need something a bit off the ground as it's a pretty steep climb/descent. So much nature, my wife loved the deer every morning that greeted us. The cabin is clean, well maintained, and provides you with everything you need to get started. Will absolutely go back!!
