I first came to Branson when my oldest daughter was only 3 months old and she is now 41. My mother and her parents loved to come up every summer, usually in August. My grandfather played the fiddle and enjoyed watching shows that had fiddlers, particularly a then young Shoji Tabuchi. Since we came every summer, my parents bought a time share and we discovered Ozark Mountain Resort. We fell in love with the property which offered so much for the children and gave us a chance to get out on the lake. After staying there for a number of summers, my mother decided to purchase a condo which was being built on the property. My mom, my children and I had a great time the first time we stayed in the new condo. Several of my aunts came up along with my grandparents. We went to the marina across the lake and rented a pontoon boat. The children had such a good time jumping off and swimming around. We docked it here and ate lunch at the condo, then went out on the lake again. I have wonderful memories of that day. Unfortunately, it was the only time my mom got to enjoy her new condo because she passed away from cancer only a three months later. My dad kept the condo and has now passed it on to me. My children still love coming here and especially love to go to Silver Dollar City, the shows and attractions in Branson and just enjoy the lake and swimming pool here.
