Host was very responsive, the cabin had utensils and things we needed to cook with, and the location was close to everything we wanted to do in Branson. The beds were a bit uncomfortable but bringing your own pillows will help this. We enjoyed our stay and would book this cabin again.

I wish I could give a better review but there are just too many issues with this property. First the good. The location is conveniently located to the heart of Branson, but still far enough away to avoid the chaos of the entertainment district. The cabin was clean and nicely decorated, especially for the holiday, and the cabin has many amenities. Communication with the property owner was very quick and good. Now the bad. The parking is not great. The driveway leading into the location is very steep. If there is snow or ice, there will be issues. You have to walk up and down the driveway to take the trash to the dumpster. Although the property has many amenities, the fixtures and appliances seem dated and worn. The refrigerator went out during our stay. The property owner worked hard to address the issue, but a new part was required so we ended up relying on ice chests to keep our food fresh. The outside light for the stairs was burned out, making going up and down the stairs after dark a challenge. Lastly, this unit was advertised as sleeping 6 (in some parts of the write up, it even says 7-8 people). This is not accurate, as we had 6 people and it was a stretch; there are only 4 chairs for the dining room table, 5 comfortable seats in the living room (3 on the sofa and 2 comfy chairs). There were 6 six chairs on the deck, but with temps ranging from the high 20's-40's, we didn't spend much time outside.

The cabin was beautiful and in great condition. Everything was nice and clean. We had a wonderful stay. The neighbors were loud for a while but this was not the owners fault. That can happen anywhere. The house was great and clean and the beds were comfortable. Our grandson loved his upstairs loft!

This is our 3rd year staying at this home and I am getting ready to book #4. My friend and I travel to Branson every November for a girls trip. A little pre Christmas shopping and a couple of Christmas shows to get us in the holiday spirit. Desta is an amazing host. We love the home being decorated for Christmas and it has cozy warm vibes. We had a little glitch with the TV upstairs, contacted our host and Desta showed up at the home to get the issue taken care of. Definitely recommend! Thanks Desta!! Julee and Deb.

There are stairs to get up to the cabin which I didn’t realize when I booked. Quite the first couple of nights but then had some very noisy neighbors. The bath downstairs is truly just a bath no shower attachment. Only shower is upstairs. Beds were a little hard for our taste. Clean overall though.

We enjoyed the location and the overall look of the cabin. There were a couple of things that made it less attractive for us to return. For one thing, the lighting is very poor in the living area. Additionally, it would’ve been nice to have two showers, one upstairs and one downstairs. I have to wonder how often that Jacuzzi tub actually gets used. We certainly didn’t use it and would have appreciated a walk-in shower to go with the king suite.
