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
