Quiet Ozarks Cottage for Two | Peaceful Porch + Forest Views

✨ MILLIE'S MERMAID COTTAGE • A SERENE CREEKSIDE HIDEAWAY
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🌟 Find your breath again at Millie's Mermaid Cottage, one of the storybook cottages at Brushy Creek. Here, gentle creek sounds, sun-dappled trees, and rustic charm come together for the ultimate relaxation experience. This dreamy studio retreat offers peaceful solitude beneath a canopy of trees, with a cozy whitewashed interior filled with natural light.

Start your mornings with coffee on the porch ☕, enjoy slow walks along the wooded trails 🌳, and end the day stargazing by the firepit ✨ or soaking in the private hot tub — a guest favorite for unwinding and recharging. You'll love the peaceful surroundings, where every detail invites you to relax and reset.

While this retreat feels worlds away, Branson's live shows 🎭, shopping 🛍️, dining, and lake adventures 🚤 are just a scenic 30-minute drive through the Ozarks. Even closer, you'll find charming local favorites like The Hop 🍔, Las Casitas 🌮, and Red White & BBQ 🍖 — making it easy to enjoy both hidden gems and big attractions during your stay.

This cottage is also small dog-friendly 🐶 (with approval and fee), so you can bring along your furry friend. With peaceful surroundings, modern comforts, and convenient access to both Branson and nearby attractions, this is the perfect spot to truly relax and explore at your own pace.
