About this property

Secluded Cabin + Guest House with *Private Dock' at West End of Lake Taneycomo

A picturesque site at the 'Deep Water Chute' on Lake Taneycomo about a mile down from Table Rock Dam. Secluded across from 200 foot bluffs with massive oaks shading covered porches and decks. The primary residence cabin has 3br & 2baths, is fully appointed and provisioned, including Cable/WiFi. Adjacent to the main residence, connected by decks is a two room bungalow 'guest house' with separate mini=kitchen and full bath. The bungalow has just been redone from the floods in January 2016. Ample deck furniture including grill and 'porch swings are available. There is ample parking for as many cars as needed as well as a high double carport space for campers or motorhomes. From the deck, there are about ten steps to the large dock with a wide slip which will accommodate guest's 'trailered boat' or a boat rented from Trout Lodge Marina just 200 yards downstream. There is a public access boat-launch just 200 yards upstream from the residence. This quiet and beautiful setting is as good as it gets for a 'Trout Fishing Experience on famous Taneycomo. Of course just up the hill is The College of the Ozarks with their award winning upscale Keeter Center Restaurant. Just down the street across from Trout Lodge, is Gilberti's Italian and at the top of the hill you will find McDonalds, Country Mart Sonic, etc. The residence is about a mile down the hill from College of the Ozarks which is immediately at the Hollister exit. The 'Strip/76' exit is just 4 minutes away and The Landing' only 5 minutes away either by I-65 or the back way through downtown Hollister.

The view is everything!

The beauty of this property is outdoors! There is a lot of outdoor seating options with the dock below and the view of the flowing River is spectacular! There is ample sleeping options with the added bungalow. However, the beds are not comfortable and the cabin needs some TLC. It was clean but just needs some repairs and updates.

Was disappointed No communication with manager as we tried 3 times no response. Internet did not work and was incorrect on the check in email. Not to mention it did not have any directions on entering the property. House was unlocked with no instructions. No instructions on how to get the TV working and that’s no easy task. The dock has no ropes and an unusual cross bar to dock your boat that makes it hard to dock any boat. There are water bugs all over the kitchen and the place really needs a full upgrade in maintenance. A fumigation for the bugs is a must. Sorry the place has great potential but needs a lot of work. Won’t be back.

Beautiful location

This place was perfect for our family. The house is older but still a great place to stay. The property is beautiful and the location is awesome. Definitely a perfect place for people who like to fish. We had an awesome stay all around. The only thing I'd suggest is maybe getting some pillow toppers for the beds. Other than that, everything was perfect for us.

Vacation 2023

My family of 6 really loved the view of the lake from the back deck. The house was nice & clean. My son and his wife enjoyed staying in the small cabin and had their privacy. Short drive to town. Could have used a dresser in the room with twin beds to put clothes in other than that everything was great.

Taneycomo

A very nice location. A/C was locked on 72 degrees, we couldn't turn it up so it did get rather cold. Couldn't figure the TV out so we could only get the Food Network channel, but we weren't there to watch tv anyway. Wifi wasn't available but phones worked better outside on the deck. All in all it was a very nice set-up and we enjoyed our stay! The guest house door would not latch or lock.

Rustic cabin

If your looking for clean home perfection not your place. Furniture old had holes and cushions didn't fit. WIFI was a hotspot you shared with neighbors. Toilets had issues wouldn't flush used a pitcher from kitchen to fill tank. Owner stated he corrected thing as well as he could. Washer rinse cycle didn't work. We did come for the fishing it didn't disappoint. Patio cushions cover with duck poop. Its rustic and way over priced.

Perfect Cabin for our Vacation

We were a group of 8 family members that live far from each other and met in Branson as a halfway point and this cabin and guest house suited our needs perfectly. I will not lie, the more recent reviews had us a bit nervous about our stay but it was too late to back out so we decided to go ahead and make do with what we had booked. However, when we got there we were PLEASANTLY surprised. The location was stunning and both the main cabin and guest house were clean and had no issues. Is it a new build with the latest and greatest? Not at all. It’s a rustic cabin on the water with the quirks you would expect from an older cabin on the water with what we considered a great cost. Our fisher men and women loved being able to fish off the property and many of us enjoyed sitting on the dock daring each other to put our feet into the surprisingly cold water. And we had plenty of room for the kids to run around and be kids. All in all it was the perfect spot for our family to meet and spend time together while also being close to Branson to do activities.

Great location "Butt..." Very Poorly Maintained Property

The owners check in instructions they send 24 hours before arrival reads: "IF THIS FURTHER DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY, THAT IT IS “AN OLDER, NICE, BUT WORN CABIN IS NOT WHAT YOU HAVE HOPED FOR…….PLEASE CANCEL AND BOOK ONE OF THE NEW GLITZY EXTENDED FAMILY PROPERTIES WITH UPSCALE SUBURBAN AMENITIES After arrival we found and older very worn cabin. It appears there has been little or no maintenance of this property. Very dirty, bugs everywhere, cobb webs everywhere, light bulbs burnt out, TVs in both buildings don't work, ROKU not working, DVD not working BBQ grill does not work, patio heater does not work. The one thing we did enjoy was the new firepit after we removed all the built up leaves off deck and pit area. We have stayed at fish camps and hunting camps that were better maintained than this property. We definitely cannot recommend this property to friends or family when there are many more properties, we have stayed at in the past, within a mile for rent at similar cost.

Absolutely False listing and a DUMP!

I recommend reading the reviews! John likes to call people “woke” and blame others for the run-down and absolutely filthy dwelling that VRBO allows him to rent out. Upon arrival, the front of the property looks nice. However, the minute you step inside, the nice appearance is gone. Now, I don’t have a problem with a place being outdated, but when you combine that with completely rundown and dirty, that’s not good. Starting with cottage, the overwhelming smell of mildew was more than a person can handle. There was also a window unit that was AC only…no heat in the cottage and the nights were going to be in the low 40s. The roof had leaked and the ceiling the bathroom was black with mold and had fallen in around the light fixture. The shower was disgusting as well and the shower head was completely corroded. There’s a hot-tub that doesn’t work that is quite the eyesore. The main house…wow is all I can say. It was filthy. I was told that the cleaning crew would be in there until 3:00 getting the place ready for us. I am positive that they don’t use a cleaning crew…they don’t even bother sweeping the floors. The dog smell is pretty prevalent, there was dirt and dog hair pretty much everywhere…including on top of the fridge! It was so bad, I booked a different place down the river and left this dump. John offered half of my money back to VRBO but then later messaged that he was keeping it. Absolutely filthy place.VRBO should NOT allow it to be rented!Disgusting unit

The views are great and the outdoor spaces are amazing. The cabin has roaches, the shower doesn’t drain properly, the kitchen sink faucet is so loose that it feels like it’s going to fall off. You can tell this place used to be nice but it has gone downhill from its prime and doesn’t get the attention or care it should.

Some good some bad

Let me start by mentioning the positives…. For the price the overall stay was fine. The location, the views and the outdoor deck space is all really fantastic. The cabin is not secluded by any means but the way the outdoor area in the back is set up with the buildings you most certainly have privacy. The house and guest house are very old so there is an odd musty smell especially towards the back bedrooms. The hot water does take some time to heat up which is no big deal at all. The shower in the guest house hot and cold is backwards so if you want hot water in the shower you have to turn to the cold setting which we didn’t figure out until the last day. The guest cabin has a vent to the P-trap that vents under the sink opposed to outside so on two of the days the guest cabin had a strong odor of sewage and the doors had to remain open to air out that smell. The guest house cable was not working although cable was working in the main cabin. Communication with the host was very poor. He did not respond to any questions nor did I receive check in instructions until last minute and I had to request those. The only timely response was when I requested at least 200 of my stay back due to the guest staying in the guest cabin having such a poor experience in which he was very defensive and disagreed stating I was just being a bad guest and trying to get some money back. The cabins were clean. Main cabin was great, guest cabin was quit unpleasant.

Beautiful location! One shower had only cold water and the other had standing water. Husband had to fix the drain so all of our party could use the one shower. Tried to contact property manager to see if there was a key or code to get in. No one answered or got back with me. Thankfully the back door was unlocked.Shattered glass on ground in bedroom by the broken mirror. Not really a picky person but unacceptable for the price paid.

Taneycomo vacation

I’ve never left a bad review of anything but feel obligated to warn future tenants. We arrived with no check in information. There were two cars in the driveway when we arrived with nobody around. All doors were unlocked upon arrival and when we walked in there were full trash cans, dirty dishes in the sink, every bed was dirty and unmade, dogfood on the floors, dog hair everywhere, and a heap of wet towels in the bathroom. The second smaller house on the property was also dirty and smelled so bad that we were unable to stay in it. It smelled like something(s) was dead in the wall or under the house. We attempted to reach out to the host with no answer on the provided number and no returned messages for hours. Not knowing what to do we did 7 loads of laundry so we could sleep that night. The host did message us later that they would comp us for a hotel room that night or cancel our reservation. We already had kids asleep at that point and that wasn't an option. Sometime during the first night, both cars were moved from the property. Aside from the general dirtiness of the whole property, there were several broken chairs, mirrors, door handles, and windows. The porch and walkway down to the dock has several broken or near broken boards that were unsafe to walk on. The setting of this property and the view of the river is beautiful and if kept up would be an incredible place to stay. Unfortunately, our experience with this house and host was not good.
