It offered alot of room for our family vacation. It was located in a nice location where we had our privacy but close enough to attractions that we could enjoy during the day.

Perfect Family Reunion Venue

This was the awesome place to gather and visit and play and eat. Branson is nearby, so some could go into town for shows while others stayed and visited here. Host was super at keeping in contact and helping us out, as needed.

Family loved this “Thanksgiving House.” Huge home. Kids and adults loved the tv room and game room. Location was perfect. Away from it all but only 10 minutes to Branson. Wish it had a tv in the family living area. Only complaint. But that wasn’t a big deal at all. Highly recommend and we already have it reserved for next years holiday.

The house was amazing and had more than enough space for my entire family to meet and stay together. The kids especially liked watching The Grinch in the theater room and admittedly I played a few too many rounds of Ms. Pac-man. We brought food to save money on eating out while we were there and the kitchen had all of the necessary amenities for making meals for 13 people! We would like to make this a yearly trip for the winter holiday and hope to return to this home the next time we are in town!!

Great experience!

This property was so cool. I stayed with my extended family - all 19 of us had plenty of room to spread out! The tween crowd loved the theater room while adults enjoyed several sitting areas to relax. There are so many areas to describe but truly, overall it was a great experience. Also, Heather is a great host, great communication and easy breezy check out.

It was Great

This house is perfect for us. Everyone has their own room and yet there is enough space for all of us to get together. We have already booked next year. The place is beautiful, and I especially like the Christian artwork.
