Peaceful setting - plenty of room

This was our second time staying at this house. It is located in a quite area, beautiful location. The house has plenty of living space. The host, Robyn, responded quickly to questions. I would highly recommend the property to other large families. We had a great time.

Good for large group short stay

The property is great for large group with several conversation areas. Lots of tv's if you're interested. 3 generations stayed here from Friday evening to Monday morning and all were mostly happy. There are 3 refrigerators which was great but only one has an ice maker so we ran out of ice. Utilized the 3 front porch rocking chairs every morning! We enjoyed the small bundle of firewood. There is a broken Adirondack chair & only 2 chairs at the patio table. A few glitches, the hot tub was 107 when we arrived on Friday night making it impossible to use safely. Manager did get tech out 1st thing Saturday morning but it was disappointing to arrive & not have the use of the hot tub. Garage door key pad did not work. Front door key pad is quirky but works after a few tries. LOTS of stuff stored in garage, master closet & pantry, this made it challenging to store the food we brought for our large group The light in the master commode room is so dim you cannot see if you close the door. Several times I asked about the bathroom layout but never really got a clear answer. The master is the only bedroom that is connected to a bathroom. The other 3 bathrooms are off a hallway or common area on each floor. The driveway is on an incline with parking for 4 small or midsized vehicles. The garage would easily hold two cars if it wasn't used for storage, as is there is ample room for one car.

Amazing home

This property was everything we were looking for. We put all the kids in the basement bedrooms and they could have their own space. Plenty of room for kids and adults. We loved the hot tub and patio area. Having pool access was nice as well. We were close to Table Rock Lake which was what we wanted. It was perfect for our extended family.

Location Close to Branson Area Activities

Great VRBO with lots of room to spread out. The patio with a propane fire pit and hot tub were great for our family. The host was very responsive. Suggest doing an inventory of kitchen utensils I.e. measuring cups etc. Only 15 minutes to Silver Dollar City and 10 minutes to Top of the Rock. Thanks for a great stay!

Perfect House For Family Get Together

We had the most wonderful time visiting family and staying in this home in Hollister. The house was large but cozy with so much room for family and activities. It is 3 levels which granted some seclusion when needed. The pool is zero entry so my young children could easily enter and exist. This house had everything we needed and I would definitely stay here again.

Met our needs perfectly

This place was nice and very well stocked with whatever you might need. Just a couple of small things that didn't effect our stay. Hot tub seems to leak so it was turned off and the string lights above the outdoor patio didn't work. Extra refrigerator in garage is running but is only cool and had old, bad food in it. We saw past these things and really enjoyed our time here.

Fantastic home!

When we walked into this home we were amazed at how beautiful it was! So tastefully decorated even for Christmas! Everyone had their own room. Plenty of space for us all to relax. The hot tub was perfect! Breakfast around the table and later board games. The next day was spent at SDC. After a day there another relaxing time playing board games and celebrating Christmas together. Everything in the home was very clean. We had everything that we needed. The host always answered my questions promptly. You and your family would love staying in this home.

Great Stay for the price!

Such a wonderful place to accommodate a large group! There was room for everyone to spread out! The Owners were super quick to respond when we couldn’t get the exterior lights to work and sent maintenance by. My only suggestion would be to offer more mirrors throughout the house. We had 16 ladies trying to use 4 mirrors…made for a humorous stay! Thanks so much and we look forward to visiting again!

Great Large family house

Excellent house for families sharing a space together. Great patio & hot tub. Close to Big Cedar. The only thing to watch out for is at night- if you don't have the patio light on, the hand railing ends two steps before you reach the patio, if your not careful, you could miss the last two steps & fall as one of our guests did. We rented two houses and Robyn the property manager was excellent and very accommodating!

Wonderful family trip

We really enjoyed this house, hot tub and the pool area. Everything we needed was there. The kitchen was great for cooking with the family and we were excited to see the pool table downstairs! This is the second time we’ve stayed at one of Robyn’s properties and we hope to again. I messaged her with a question and within an hour or so she called me from her vacation in Hawaii. I thought she went above and beyond! Overall, a great family vacation!

About the host

Hosted by Robyn Thompson

Host profile image
I am a 56 year old business lady who loves traveling. I have traveled over 180 days per year for 20 years so I know firsthand the challenges of staying at hotels. I wanted to have all the comforts of home when I am away and that is why I love hosting guests. I can give them beautiful accommodations with all the comforts of home. I started hosting in 2017 and have over 600 guests stay. I have 12 properties that range from a small 2 bedroom in my home town of Ocala, FL to an 80 acre working horse ranch.
Two years ago, I fell in love with Branson Mo. I love the shows, the lakes, all the fun things to do, the great restaurants and the endless fun that Branson has to offer. I now own 7 nicely furnished homes in Branson Canyon ranging from 4-7 bedrooms and nothing makes me happier than families coming together to have the times of their lives and making life long memories at my homes.

Why they chose this property

It's not just another vacation house; it's built to the highest standards. We want you to enjoy it as much as we do, so we put tender loving care in every detail. It's set just away from all the busyness of town so that you can enjoy the beauty of the Ozarks, but close enough to the major attractions. It's perfect for family gatherings, church groups, and folks who appreciate privacy and the best kept secret in Missouri!

What makes this property unique

Lake View Lodge is one of the most beautiful and large homes you will encounter in the Branson area. Silver Dollar City, Top of the Rock, The Landing, Shopping , and Table Rock Lake are just a few places to visit when you stay at Lake View Lodge. This is an upscale, rustic, lodge style home. You will enjoy beautiful mornings and breathtaking evenings from our screened in porch. There are also many natural attractions outside surrounding this home. We want everyone to enjoy their time and each other at Lake View Lodge.
