Great layout

Pretty nice spot awesome decks cool pool down on the bottom floor made for tons of fun with the kiddos. The drive in and out to Branson and other places is a bit dodgy just because it’s narrow and twisty. Having a bathroom in nearly every bedroom is pretty darn convenient also.

Perfect Family Weekend

The Thistle Cottage was perfect for our family. The littles enjoyed the pool on the deck as well as the indoor & outdoor pools in the complex. We had plenty of room for everyone and the house had all the amenities we needed. The house is well taken care of and so clean. The location of the home was within 15 minutes of everything we wanted to do in Branson. We will definitely be back! We loved the book theme of the house. The kids thought the hidden book room was great!

Amazing Stay at Thistle Cottage

What a beautiful, sparkling clean home! By far the best vacation rental our family has experienced. Six bedrooms, each with their own private bathroom, comfy beds and bedding, and a great layout for multiple generations. We will definitely stay here again when we are in the Branson area.

Family Weekend Get Away

The Thistle Cottage was wonderful! Clean, beautifully decorated and very well stocked with all necessities. Communication was top notch and the app - very informative and easy to use. We were also pleasantly surprised while enroute with a late check out time offer. Would def book again!

We had a great stay! Kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed. The only issue we had was an easy fix with the grill, and they handled it like pros. We really appreciated the special treats too. We would love to come back!

Beautiful, fun, & comfy

This exquisite house has not only a private swimming pool but also a pool table and foosball table. The beds, quilts, and pillows are all really comfy. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked. With 3 floors there was plenty of room and the balcony provided a beautiful view of the mountains and lake.

It was everything we needed and more!

The Thistle Cottage had it all....spacious and comfortable living room, game room, and decks. Bedrooms were all comfortable and ensuite bathrooms were a welcome bonus. The Branson Family really thought of everything to make our stay easy, comfortable, and memorable. Hope to be back!

Family Fun!

Our family of 8 enjoyed our stay at Thistle Cottage! The home was clean, spacious and well-stocked - and let’s not forget the container pool, secret room and comfy beds! The community pool/splash pad was also a hit! This was our 3rd stay with BFR. Nat, Tyann and the BFR team are great to work with!!

Glorious Stay

We were in town for a retreat and had a glorious stay at Thistle Cottage. The core was perfect, the house was impeccably clean, the amenities were fantastic and we especially loved the karaoke and having our own bathroom. Our hosts were beyond extraordinary and cannot thank them enough. We highly recommend Branson family retreat to everyone! We got to check out some of their other properties and each one is unique and extraordinary!

Weekend at Thistle Cottage

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Thistle Cottage! We had 8 people in our party and with 6 bedrooms…we had more than enough space. The kids loved the game room area, the pool and the hidden room. So much fun! The check in and check out process was so easy and Branson Family Retreats made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay great!

The entire experience was fantastic. From accurate descriptions of the property, thorough pre-stay communication, appropriate and thoughtful amenities, lake view, check out. Homeowners even delivered treats on night 1, which was a nice touch. There was a slow paced 5 min drive once you left the main highways, but that is often the case at the lake. We took a chance staying on the opposite side of the lake than normal but it did not disappoint. Thanks for a great experience!

Wonderful spot for a group

Thistle Cottage was perfect for our recent retreat at Table Rock Lake! We hosted a group retreat in four of Branson Family Retreats' cottages, and our crew loved this home. The property was well stocked and beautifully designed, and the king bed suites were so comfortable, providing the perfect spot for each guest to retreat and recharge. And you can't beat those lake views! On top of the properties, Tyann and Nat were incredible hosts who made our travels that much easier and more special with their local expertise. 100% recommend.

Wonderful Vacation Home for a Large Family

I'm always apprehensive about finding a place for our large family vacations. We've been "burned" a time or two when the pictures online didn't match the accommodations. But this vacation home was amazing and everything was just as pictured online. Our family of 13 needed a place with 6 bedrooms and private baths. Thistle Cottage delivered exactly that. Every couple had their own room and bath. The rooms were all beautiful and spacious. Each room had a closet with a suitcase stand, clothes hangers, plenty of light, and a ceiling fan. All of the bathrooms had towels, shampoo, conditioner, and a hair dryer. The rooms were spaced out on three floors which made it nice that we all weren't "on top" of each other. There was plenty of seating in the living room, dining table, and outside on the deck. The kitchen had all of the appliances and cookware that we needed. We took food for three meals and prepared it in the cottage. I cooked pancakes and sausage the first morning and found a nice electric griddle to use. The second morning we cooked cinnamon rolls, scrambled eggs, and bacon. Plenty of pans, skillets, and cookie trays to use. Our last night there we cooked hamburgers on the grill. Everything worked well and made our stay perfect. The view of the lake from our back deck was beautiful. Our kids enjoyed swimming in the swimming pool on the downstairs deck. The pool was an added surprise we didn't expect, but even with 32 degree weather they swam in the heated pool. They said it was very nice. I can't say enough good things about Thistle Cottage. I'm so glad I found it. It was a perfect place for our four day vacation at Branson. Vicki

Room for All

Great accessible home with rooms and bathrooms for all! Kitchen fully equipped which made meals for 13 easy to prepare. The outdoor pool was a minute walk away and we loved it - hot weekend when we were there! You are about 20 minutes away from all the Branson action, so it felt peaceful to be at the house with a great view of Tablerock Lake, but if you plan to do all the Branson things, plan for the drive. Silver Dollar City was about 30 minutes away. This isn't a complaint at all, but it's always nice to know distances. For us, with a place to accommodate a large electric wheelchair, we couldn't ask for a better accessible home with regards to shower, bedroom and bath and the ability to hang out together on the main floor.
