This property is perfect for a family get away. The host supplys EVERYTHING you need. Just bring your clothes and toothbrush! Traveling with young kids typically means packing up half the house, but that's not the case here. There were plenty of beach towels, kid pool floaties, outside toys/games, a high chair, a baby gate, a fully stocked kitchen including dinnerware for your small children, and the list goes on and on. The pool was perfect, spacious, including a spash pad for the babies and a 0 entry shallow end for the toddlers. The pool, playground, and club house were all walking distance from the house. The location is just far enough out of Branson to feel secluded, but close enough to enjoy all the Branson fun. The house itself was cleaned spotless, and has the coziness of a mountain side cabin in the middle of the ozarks hills. The host was quick to answer the few questions I had, and was very accommodating during our say. We highly recommend this home, and hope you enjoy it as much as we did! P.S did I mention that the fresh baked cookies upon arrival were delicious! Because they were!

Upon our arrival we were greeted with a plate of baked cookies on the kitchen counter. The home had everything we needed and more for our week stay. The kids had plenty of space and we all enjoyed the community pool. This VRBO was not far from Branson and Top of the Rock.I would defiantly recommend this property for family vacations. Thank you John and Tricia!

Charming house in the hills

My husband, our two kids, and parents stayed in this beautifully charming home for 4 nights, 5 days. The house was completely furnished and supplied with every cooking tool and seasoning we ever needed. Rooms were spacious and super comfortable. We had our own laundry room which was really nice too. Had upper and lower level so the family could space out and enjoy our time together without getting on each others nerves. The back patio was a nice touch with ample seating and outdoor lights that came automatically on. We come to Branson every other and we will certainly book here again. The Hosts answered all of our questions and super easy to work with. They really helped us with our every need.

Enjoyable stay

Property was clean, and located in a quiet neighborhood. Owner was very responsive to minor issues that arose, and overall the stay was great. House is outstanding, and located (in our opinion) close enough to all the tourist activities in Branson, yet far away to enjoy peaceful, quiet evenings.

About the host

Hosted by John Gage

Host profile image
I am a retired school teacher and coach high school baseball and did coach high school softball. My wife and I have 3 children and three grandchild and we currently live in the Kansas City, MO area. I grew up in Southwest Missouri and my wife in Kansas City.

Why they chose this property

We have vacationed in the Branson area for the last 30+ years and purchased a vacation home that will accommodate our family. We stayed in the Branson Canyon area one fall and fell in love with it. This home will allow us and those who rent it to enjoy the Branson area for many years to come!

What makes this property unique

With three children who are married and eventually their families, this home can accommodate all of us with also some of their friends and family members. We have tried to stock the kitchen with everything a family needs to cook during their vacation if they choose to do so. This house is close to the Branson Landing, Table Rock Lake, many Golf Courses, and Silver Dollar City, but still has a lodge type of appeal.
