Really nice spot. Enjoyed snacks and drinks as NO ONE ever provides that and inevitably we end up with nothing. Especially since it was out in the middle of nowhere. Thank you! Spread the word to that grocery to fix both their vending machines, lol cause we were desperate at 1am and there were no options on the way back from our concert!

Perfect cozy little place for a couple to relax. The view from inside the adorable cottage makes the place look extra spacious.Everything is so comfortable and very well laid out. All the little extras including snacks, coffee, games, extra blankets, nice shampoo, cream rinse, lotion, and miscellaneous decor help make the stay extra special.Deck is very large, includes a grill, 3 sets of furniture, and has a beautiful view of the lake.Everything was very clean and comfortable, including hot tub.Watching a bald eagle, listening to hummingbirds, and watching squirrels and chipmunks run around in the trees gave it the wilderness feel that we love. Location is perfect for doing anything around Branson, MO or Eureka Springs, AR. It's only about a 10 minute drive to Dogwood Canyon.I highly recommend this comfy little cottage for any two people that would like a place to relax.

My wife and I loved the cottage. It was super quiet. Had everything you might need if you wanted to cook. Small touches were noticed, from the makeup remover towels to the containers with dual meaning labels. The view was great. The bed was very comfortable. There was an issue with the WIFI when we were there, but we understand that's outside the control of the host. Overall, great place to stay. Would stay again.

This property was wonderful, the view is amazing, the house is a perfect size for a couples getaway. The hot tub was hot and clean, the area was perfect for a quiet trip! The host was easy to work with, gaining entry was easy and simple. We couldn't recommend this cabin enough, perfect size and set up. Just the space we needed! We ate at the Steak Inn, it was worth it, the best steak I have ever had.

About the host

Hosted by Shon Gerber

Host profile image
We are Shon and Trish Gerber and we are from the Wichita, KS area. We have been married for over 32 years and it has always been our dream to own a lake home and more recently to own a VRBO property that we love and can share with others. We love being a host because it provides us with the opportunity to share our Table Rock Lake cottage with our guests. This home is our "little slice of heaven" and whether you’ve come to relax, explore, or just enjoy a change of scenery, our cottage is yours to unwind and feel at home. We’ve taken care to make this space cozy, comfortable, and fully stocked for your stay. Feel free to settle in, and let the cottage be your retreat to recharge, make memories, and experience the peaceful surroundings.

Why they chose this property

Imagine a cottage that is perched on a cliff, tucked in amongst the cedar and pine trees, with breathtaking views of Table Rock Lake. As you wind around the small road that leads to our cottage you are enveloped by the beauty and peacefulness of the surroundings, a quiet neighborhood that draws you in to sit back, relax, and enjoy nature.

What makes this property unique

The Cliffhanger Cottage is a unique and comfortable bungalow-style cottage that provides a stress-free, relaxing vacation for our guests. Built in 1932, this charming cottage is the perfect couples’ hideaway to enjoy the tranquility and scenery of Table Rock Lake from inside this small 500 square foot home or from the outside on an equally large wrap around deck that boasts views of the lake, the Shell Knob Bridge, amazing sunsets, star gazing, and bird watching.
