Cozy, tranquil getaway

My partner and I had a lovely stay at the retreat. It was great to get away from our usual busyness and enjoy the beautiful, quiet space. The instructions on what to do when leaving were not specific but otherwise everything ran smoothly.

Amazing property

Super quiet place. Real feel of being out of the city but somewhat close to stores if you need something. Wicked curvy roads between the house and Branson though.....allow plenty of time to travel.
