Your own private mini-lodge for up to 12 people plus dogs, Claymore Cottage provides all the greatest hits of a Branson getaway, plus some unexpected extras.

Start the day with a coffee on one of two covered decks and take in lovely sunrise views of Table Rock Lake and the neighborhood.

Then go for a cooling mid-day dip in the private heated container pool on the lower deck—complete with a glass front for Mermaid photoshoots.

Even better? Because it’s heated, you can use it even when it's chilly outside. This feature is unique to Branson Family Retreats—you’ll find it only here and at our neighboring Thistle Cottage.

Depending on the weather:
- Summer temperature is 84-86 degrees (roughly end of May to mid September)
- Rest of the year the temperature is 97-99 degrees for your stay (mid September until end of the year school holidays and again mid March to just before the end of May)
- Container pool is CLOSED from January to early March (neighborhood indoor pool is OPEN)

Your group will love having 5 deluxe bedroom suites to choose from, all with king-size beds, luxurious sheets, and their own attached baths.

The accessible main level (including an accessible bedroom + bathroom with grab bars and transition shower), combined with a ramp for easy Cottage access, means everyone in your family can join the fun.

Thoughtfully curated decor throughout Claymore Cottage brings a touch of Scottish history to the Ozarks.

Vacationing with a larger group? Double the fun and rent Claymore Cottage together with the next-door property, Thistle Cottage, to sleep a total of 28 people.

If you’re visiting outside of summer—a great choice; the off-season is lovely!—pile onto the caramel leather sofas around the stone gas fireplace in the Great Room and share stories over cocktails or hot cocoa.

Send your kids (or husbands) to the family room for a game of pool or a movie and tell the stories you skip when they’re around. 🙂

At dinner time, the kitchen is a dream to cook in. It’s well-equipped with appliances both large and small, and a roomy center island allows for easy prep work.
