Best family lake trip!

The property has an amazing deck that wrapped around… 15 of us were able to do puzzles hang out and enjoy the beautiful scenery for our graduation vacation! This was probably one of the best kited out kitchens we have had with VRBO.

The house was spacious and comfortable for a large family group. The large kitchen with two refrigerators was a real plus and a large dining room table allowed us all to eat together as a family. The young adults enjoyed the pool table and outdoor space. The dock and the canoes were a big hit with the guys.

Family holiday

The property was beautiful!! Everything you could imagine to meet our needs was supplied. The host was very helpful and was quick to answer any questions. The only wrinkle was learning to navigate the driveway but with the helpful suggestions listed in the our welcome letter, that was quickly accomplished. Highly recommend

Taneycomo lake property

It was nice with plenty of room. We wish there would have been better lighting so we could see better to play games and do puzzles. The lake was scummy not appealing for swimming at all.

Wonderful stay! We had our whole family here... Kids, parents, grandparents... And it was set up perfectly! The owner was very helpful and responded quickly to any questions or concerns. From the huge, well stocked kitchen to the canoes and provided life vests and fishing gear, they provided for almost everything you'd want to do! Not a lot of luck fishing from the dock, but we were successful from the canoes. Only one thing, more as an fyi, the roads to the house are narrow and there are steep drops on the sides, so be careful when driving to the house. But it's beautiful and you see a bunch of wildlife! As far as location, there is a gas station and grocery store not too far (about 7-10 minutes), and Branson is 15-20 minutes away. We would definitely stay again, thank you for providing an exceptional place to make lifelong memories!

Family Reunion

Great for the whole family! We had ages 11-90 in our group and everyone loved our stay here! Plenty of time spent canoeing, fishing off the dock, around the campfire, and at the LARGE dining table that fit all of us! The path down to the campfire and water is a bit challenging for the elderly but that is normal for most lake houses. We definitely appreciated and needed the 2 refrigerators! The kitchen is well stocked with supplies. Campfire chairs would be a good improvement. Beautiful view!

Grandmother's Birthday

Fabulous home with amenities to match. Very clean, fully furnished home with lots of games and activities for the teens and adults. Waterfront was not "swim-able" according to teens, due to mucky bottom and grasses. Plenty of space for 4 family groups, and 4 teens in the bunk room. Canoes, pool table, and dock made the outdoor experience unique.

Great house for family gatherings! We had 14 in our Trost Girl Cousins group and had everything we needed. Bedrooms and bedding were fantastic. We mostly stayed at the house and the kitchen was thoroughly stocked - two fridges, every utensil one could need, grill, plenty of everything! We had loads of room at the dining tables and the living area was great for lounging. The deck was perfect and the dock was great to have for floating on the water. The host was a super communicator and fast at responding to all our questions and needs. Can't imagine anything else we could have wanted or needed. Typically we travel to different places for our our annual trip but several of my guests suggested coming back again to Red Elk.

Peaceful/Quiet getaway Place

This huge cabin was great; it had plenty of room and space that was perfect for all being together and yet if you needed space, you could find someplace to go. The huge kitchen, double fridge/freezers, electric oven and gas stovetop/oven made it convenient for us to cook meals; and the huge dining table allowed us to eat together. The wrap around porch with grill, pool table and rocking chairs made it a fun place to hangout. We enjoyed the huge fire pit several evenings down near the shoreline. We would highly recommend this place and would definitely book it again in the future.in the the evenings.

Family Vacation

The lodge was amazing. Everyone said this was their favorite place we have stayed in. We have been coming to Branson for 8 yrs for vacation. Kitchen was perfect for cooking for a large group. We had 17. Our only complaint would be the lake was very dirty and mossy. The kids could not get in and swim. The mosquitoes were very bad. We bought spray to spray on patio and dwn at the deck. Of course not the owners fault. Just that time of year! We hope to stay again!
