The Cottage was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The bed was very comfortable and we enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching the ducks by the lake.

Anita, a comfortable bed and a porch where ducks drift past on the lake is exactly the kind of quiet that recharges you. Anyone looking for that same easy stillness will find it here.

The smell in this cottage was terrible! It smelled musty and moldy. Also the bedding was not clean at all. There was also roaches. I have pictures of the bedding. We will not be staying there again.

Very nice small place close to water. Some views from porch. Fridge didn't get very cold but otherwise everything was very nice. Great being a short walk from the island. Porch wasn't screened; that wasn't clear from pictures. Overall very nice stay and would definitely come back.

It was cute and cozy and all the amenities we needed were there. We had a little trouble finding the place because there are multiple cottages and they’re numbered but not in order. Suggest that you tell the cross street when you give directions and address. Also, even though it was a somewhat crowded Cottage area - it was very peaceful We were comfortable and we were close to fishing and Branson. We enjoyed the steamboat Branson Belle. Locally we enjoyed the Mercantile and the sweet lady Jamie that runs it. We would recommend the Cottage.

Stay was good...

Stay was good. Cottage was clean and well appointed. Had issue with TV remote and that was taken care of in a reasonable amount of time. Wish I could have found a local News/weather channel considering all of the rain, storms and Tornados in the area. Had reserved the room to visit with a sick friend but he passed away before I arrived.

Very nice cottage

Our check in process was very easy. We did have an issue with the door code but it was rectified within a matter of minutes. Excellent and almost immediate response from the property manager. The kitchen was nicely supplied with all necessities and very clean. We were very comfortable using the kitchen. The water temperature and pressure were very good. We were also grateful for the apps that were installed on the Roku tv. It allowed us to watch our own televised live church services on Sunday morning. We would stay here again and definitely are very happy with the host. Jill L Brewton

Lake property

Overall we liked the little place. I would say there is a bad neighborhood cat problem so I believe that along with there was a musty smell in the house that was a little off but they do provide room spray. Everything else was great. It was clean and had everything you needed. The games were nice as well. The lake being very close and the view from the porch was beautiful. Overall happy with our stay. I would also leave a note to let me know how to use the AC and heat. Because we had a time getting it figured out to temp control.

The cottage was clean but the Roach issue around the kitchen cabinets and kitchen sink is a concern. And bed sheets need stripped and washed after each guest as I found mouse droppings between the fitted and mattress covers sheet. The host did offer to spray for bugs and said they would improve the cleanliness. We truly liked the cottage other than those two issues. Great for a couple’s getaway, loved the Christmas decor, the view from the covered porch is amazing, bed and pillows were very comfortable, water pressure in shower was great! just the small details included (the generous hooks in the bathroom, makeup wipes, the little night lights, Branson discount attractions coupons that were NOT expired yet. lol. I used a few!). We had everything we needed for a nice stay. I don’t expect any cottage to be perfect, it is an old community of cottages so I understand there will be some issues. I did appreciate the great communication and their willingness to make things right. I believe this host would go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable!

Hello, thank you for your feedback, we greatly appreciate it as this is what helps us improve for the future. We hold our standards for cleanliness very high, and try to uphold those standards for each guests arrival. We greatly apologize for the roach encounter & have since treated the entire property. As for the sheets and mouse droppings, we had our maintenance staff search the entire property up and down after your checkout as requested and did not find any evidence of this anywhere. We did go ahead and set out traps just to be safe, but we wanted to let you know, to ease your mind. We're happy to hear you enjoyed your stay otherwise and had everything you needed to make it a comfortable one. We'd love to welcome you back to any of our FVR locations any time, look us up before your next booking to view all that we offer!
