Wonderful Vacation!

The property was peaceful, very relaxing. With multiple things to do attached to the property. My family enjoyed playing ping-pong and lounging out on the deck. Lake levels were high, sad about not getting much water time. But,that has nothing to do with how amazing the place was.

Thanksgiving Family Get Away

We had a great time. Loved the hot tub for this time of year. Kayak was taken down to the lake for a short paddle. Plenty of parking a huge plus as we had three vehicles. Property had plenty of space to explore. Was a quick 20 min to Silver Dollar City, and 30 min from the strip.

Great Stay! Hope to return soon!

We stayed at this property September 2024 with our 2 adult sons and granddaughter. The house was perfectly set up for us to spend time together in multiple areas of the house and to retreat to separate areas at the end of the day. We mostly used the outdoor amenities, fire pit, deck and lake on this trip. We hope to return to this property in April 2025. The weather is likely to be much cooler so we anticipate using the indoor amenities more. The house was very well stocked. We had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Highly recommend this property!

While the temps neared 100 we took advantage of the lake with our 3 children. From paddle boarding to kayaking we were able to not only cool off but enjoy nature.

Pretty view

You could tell the owners loved the property and worked hard on it! Very homey and. Comfortable. Lots of tvs for everyone to chill in their own space. Hot tub was clean and working well. Well equipped kitchen and plenty of little extras to utilize. Really a great spot for a family with kids. Loved our stay for sure.

We Loved This Cabin.....You Will, Too!

A wonderful home away from home....in a beautiful wilderness just yards from the lake. Large comfortable bedrooms easily housed 10 of us (6 adults and 4 children). The cabin is so spacious, clean, and comfortable....and nicely decorated. Numerous activities include swimming and paddle boarding, nature hikes (deer are everywhere), and an outdoor fire pit....lots of games, television, pool table, and ping pong. Just a lovely place to stay!

Wonderful family getaway

We stayed at Carefree Bear Lodge with 3 of our adult kids and their families. The kids had a wonderful time fishing in the lake. We spent a day just enjoying the property, grilling food, fire pit s’mores, paddle boarding and swimming/floating in the lake. The cabin was roomy and comfortable for our big group. We got lucky with some wonderful cool (75) July weather and ate outside on the patio most evenings. Also enjoyed morning coffee on the deck watching the deer. I would recommend this property for family gatherings. Lovely and peaceful and full of activities for the kids.

quiet but FUN family weekend

We were looking for a quick weekend away after a busy few months, and this lake house did not disappoint. The home is in a quiet cove on lake, great for fishing and kayaking, and not too close to other neighbors despite being in a popular area. Our visit was during a cold spell, but we still had plenty of things to do at the property between the hot tub, ping pong and pool tables, and other games. The home and kitchen were well appointed, which made family meals a pleasure. Despite the remote feel of the house, we were also able to easily enjoy local attractions such as Silver Dollar City and the Butterfly Ranch. This really was the perfect house for a family vacation where some days required relaxing and other days needed a bit more adventure.

Great house - cleanliness concerns

The house itself, set-up, and location is great but there was a strong feces smell from what I am guessing was a dog accident in the main bedroom. We tried to sleep in the room the first night and as the house warmed up the smell was unbearable. I did talk to the owners and they said they would try to get a cleaning company out but nothing was done while we were there. We ended up having kids share a room so we didn’t have to use the room. We had to cut the trip short due to a family emergency so they may have planned to show up the day after we left to address the issue. I did ask them to compensate something as it seemed odd to have to pay full price and full cleaning fees when the main bedroom can’t be used - they declined which was disappointing but I get. So overall, not the best experience.

Spring break getaway

This was a great place for a last minute Spring break getaway that wasn't too far from home and on the water, for a little fishing from shore. Branson was close enough that we did something everyday in town and then came back to the house for a homemade dinner. I always bring my own assortment of cooking spices and necessities... but the kitchen was so well stocked that I really didn't need to here! The hot tub was used a lot!! Soooo relaxing!! Even watched some deer walk by the side of the house one night. The house had plenty of room for our family of 4, I wish we had more time to enjoy everything the house had to offer for entertainment. We would definitely come back again! Thank you for sharing your beautiful house with us! The Sobczyk Family 2024

Family Time Together

Our family of 6 - Dad Mom and 4 kids aged 23 to 19 had a fantastic time at this house. We stayed the 2nd week of March so weather was a teeter totter but with so many things to do indoors we didn't mind the chilly days. Kids loved the hot tub which was clean and fully functional. The drive to the grocery store was easy - but make a list - as it's a bit too far to realize you forgot something. Drive to Branson was about 30 mins. We went over 3 times. For nearby dining we ate at Ma's Place in Kimberling City and it was super yummy food - atmosphere was basic. I recommend bringing beach towels as the bath towels are not good for hot tub or lake action. Communication with the owner was easy and helpful. Book it now - you will be happy you did!

Best Getaway Spot

Our family has never visited Branson. It was a Christmas gift for my kids and they each brought a friend. There was so much room for everyone that it did NOT seem like there were 10 of us. Everything was so well organized! They have all of the switches labeled, which you wouldn't think would become confusing, but with a lot of amenities, it can and will. The host provided super clear instructions beforehand and when our door key code did not work, they were quick to answer and help us. Since we went during the off-season in Branson, the amenities offered by the cabin were a game changer. It gave us plenty of activities to do together. We had a blast. If you are looking for a secluded natural setting, the Carefree Bear Lodge is for you and your family.

Loved the house!

We loved staying at this house for our family vacation. We had 5 kids ranging from age 10-22. The house was well stocked except toilet paper, dishwasher and washer detergent. The house was big enough for all of us to have our own space when needed. The hot tub was amazing. This is by far our favorite home we’ve rented and would come back and stay except for the difficult access to the water. We book a house on a lake every summer and would love to stay here again. However the very steep trek from the house to the water and the lack of dock to fish and swim from will prevent us from staying here again. The house is perfect for anyone that won’t be using the water often. We also did have an issue getting into the house with the key pad when we first arrived. The code we were given didn’t work. I had to call all the #s provided and finally got someone on the phone with the third call and the door code wasn’t at all what was emailed to me.

Private with lots of recreational activities.

This house was so nice as it was private and not a chain of cabins. There was so much for young adults to do. We cooked all our meals with plenty of kitchen necessities available. Lots of sleeping space and access to the lake was amazing! Would definitely stay again.
