Winter lake view:On Bull Shoals/Taneycomo:25min to SDC&Branson:5min to boat ramp

Located in the Ozark hills but a few miles from town sits this unique earth-berm style home in Forsyth, MO. Relax with a cup of coffee or glass of wine on the back deck with winter views of Swan Creek and Shadow Rock Park. BBQ on the deck while watching the wildlife or sip hot chocolate around the firepit. Grab a blanket and cozy up with a book, board game or watch a movie in front of the wood burning stove. Both the sunrise and sunset are visible on the deck overlooking corps land. Our lake house is enjoyable year-round: Swan Creek access within walking distance; Bull Shoals Lake and Lake Taneycomo boat ramp access-less than 5 minutes driving distance; 18 miles from Branson and Silver Dollar City; 30 minutes from Table Rock State Park. Bull Shoals contains walleye, crappie, white, striped and small mouth bass, and many other species of fish. Lake Taneycomo holds world-class and record-sized trout. All 3 lakes are great for fishing, boating, kayaking, water sports, and much more.

Busiek State Forest and Wildlife Area and Hercules Glades Wilderness are just a short drive away for hiking and creek exploring. There is a walking and bicycle trail running from Bull Shoals boat access at Shadowrock Park to Lake Taneycomo access at Empire Park/Powersite Dam. Both parks also contain playgrounds, picnic tables, shelters/restrooms, and fishing areas.

Enjoy the hustle and bustle of Branson and drive less than 20 minutes back home to quiet and privacy.

This home features 2 bedrooms, one bonus room, 2 full bathrooms, large kitchen, and large laundry room. Both the master and guest bedrooms have sliding glass patio doors that lead to the deck.
*Please note, the closets in the master bedroom and laundry room are restricted from guest use. Thank you for respecting our space.*

Both bathrooms contain walk in showers, and the hall bath features a double vanity. Towels, linens, and blankets are provided. Extras are labeled and located in the laundry room.

The kitchen contains basic cookware as well as a small crockpot and baking dishes. There are Tupperware containers for guest use; but we ask that the Tupperware stays.

Cleaning supplies are underneath the sink.

We have a small backyard off the deck, and it is not steep like the picture suggests. It is a slight slope leading to the tree line which backs up to woods owned by the Corps of Engineers.

We are located in a rural area surrounded by woods and approximately 100 yards from Swan Creek. Therefore, you may encounter insects, snakes and other wildlife. We treat our home monthly and have sticky traps throughout the home. Please be aware of this when booking our property.

Please note that you may be asked to sign a short-term rental contract upon booking at owner's discretion. There is a 7 night maximum booking stay period.

Thank you for considering our listing. We are excited to share our family lake house with you!
