The place was really clean and we enjoyed the deck. Thursday morning had a gorgeous sunrise from the deck. Also, we enjoyed playing games on the deck. Thanks for making your home away from home available to us.

We loved staying here for our vacation. It was fairly close to everything! For the most part everything was clean and well maintained. We did find a plate with old leftovers and a fork left in the microwave which was not awesome but everything else was great. Would stay again!

This condo is just ok. It was clean, but there were issues. Thermostat was locked so it ran on a set schedule, in winter we usually turn down the temp for sleeping. Toilet ran constantly. And GFCI in kitchen kept clicking constantly when in use. Sounded like neighbor was constantly flipping a switch on and off. All but the GFCI was reported via txt message.

Please know that our communication channels are open 24/7 to assist our guests at any time. We were disappointed to learn about this concern through your review. Had we known during your stay, we would have been more than happy to send assistance right away.
Thank you for your feedback. We will continue to use it to uphold our commitment to providing a comfortable and positive experience for every guest. Have a wonderful day!
The management company sends too many texts prior and during your stay. It be came annoying at one point. Unit is average could use a deep cleaning. Good view from deck.

Thank you for your 4-star review! We're glad you enjoyed the good view from the deck.
We apologize if you felt the number of texts from our management company was excessive. As a self check-in Airbnb, these texts contain important guides and information to ensure a smooth arrival and stay. However, we understand that communication preferences can vary, and we will review our messaging frequency to find a better balance for our guests.
We also appreciate your feedback regarding the unit potentially needing a deep cleaning, and we will certainly address this with our cleaning team.
Please remember, should you have had any specific issues or needs during your stay, we would have been happy to assist if you had communicated them to us directly. We hope you'll consider staying with us again in the future!
The property was so so convenient for my family. It is so close to Silver Dollar City, an easy drive to any Branson attraction. Had the convenience of the Branson West Walmart just minutes away! This condo is right across the street from the playground which sits next to the swimming pool. I loved that my kids didn’t have to sleep in the same bed!!!! It was the perfect size for our family of four. I also enjoyed that it was quiet. I have saved it in my VRBO favorites so I don’t have to hunt down a property next time.

5 stars! Wonderful! Thank you for your kind review. We hope to see you again soon!
Nice little condo. We have 4 kids, so it was a little crunchy (space-wise), but we definitely had enough room of all of us. The second bedroom got pretty warm at night, warmer than the rest of the condo. I did love that it was right across from one of the pools, so our older children were able to go back and forth easily. And many stores are only 2 miles (or less) away, so that was a nice convenience as well. Communication with owners was great. The only thing I was missing was a dresser for the master bedroom; we were there for a week and I would have liked to unpack my suitcase.
We were happy with our stay!
