Thank you a lot for your kind words It means a lot for you to take the time to post them
Amazing cabin! We had a great time staying here. All the amenities made it perfect. The hot tub, pool table, air hockey and wide range of games and movies made this the best place ever! Sitting on the back porch you can hear all kinds of birds! We loved having so much space and having 4 bathrooms was an added bonus. Everything you need to cook with was available in the kitchen and we enjoyed meals and games at the big table. Beds are very comfortable and we all slept great! Thank you for letting us stay!

We appreciate your detailled description of the cabin We hope you reurn someday soon
The cabin is minutes away from Big Cedar and Top Of The Rock. The cabin is absolutely beautiful and spacious - everything we wanted. The kids loved the game room. My wife and I appreciate great customer service and the customer service of the folks that own the cabin is the best we've had with a VRBO. We hope to rent from them again.
Great location for our family wedding in the area. Lots of space for everyone to rest and enjoy time together. Cabin was perfectly furnished and a great place to be.
Extremely clean and nice, perfectly decorated, and furnished, it's a 10 out of 10Highly recommended

Thank you for taking time to share your kind review. We're glad our cabin made a good home away from home for your visit to the Branson area. Blessing, Brenda
Good location. About 20 minutes away from things families want to do. Beautiful cabin. Just needs a little extra attention to small details (ceiling fans, lights, light bulbs, cookware)

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. We're always striving to improve, and we truly value your input.
We do keep a fully stocked selection of cookware tucked neatly in the shelves of the china cabinet, which you may have missed. We’ll be sure to better highlight that location for future guests.
If we had known about the lighting issues during your stay, our team would have been happy to bring over replacement bulbs right away, just as they were quickly able to resolve the small issue with the AC . Please know we’re always just a message or phone call away and ready to assist with anything that can make your visit more comfortable.
We appreciate you staying with us and hope to welcome you back in the future!
This is our yearly girls trip to Branson. Enjoyed staying at your cabin. Very nice and in a wonderful location.

About the host
Hosted by Jennifer Chodrick Baker
Brenda & I live in Enid, Ok. She is a retired Registered Nurse and I am a retired Police Officer, & retired DL Examiner for the State of Ok. We have 7 children and a bunch of awesome grandchildren plus two amazing great grandsons. We love our home in Oklahoma, but Missouri is our second home and enjoy it very much.
Why they chose this property
We have loved the Branson area for years and Brenda grew up about 2 hrs. from Branson. Branson is a booming area with lots of opportunity and even in a down economy people still come to Branson. It just seems to be one of the most wholesome, patriotic places in the country.
What makes this property unique
This is a wonderful, spacious cabin for families or groups. We have hosted many family gatherings and the memories made here are priceless.
