"The kids loved the game room area, the pool and the hidden room. So much fun! The check in and check out process was so easy and Branson Family Retreats made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay great!"
– Chelsea (Arkansas)
With a total of 11 king-size bedrooms, 11 bathrooms (one for each bedroom!), 2 kitchens, 2 Great Rooms, 2 family rooms with pool tables, 2 year-round container pools, and 1 gorgeous lake view, The Cottages have everything you need for an unforgettable group retreat, big family reunion, or other special event.
Right down to the two EV chargers for your vehicles: Grizzl-E Classic, Level 2 240V / 40A, UL Certified, NEMA 14-50 Plug.
Two fully equipped kitchens impress even the most discerning chef. Each features modern appliances, ample counter space, and all the necessary cookware and utensils, including KitchenAid mixers. Gather around two spacious dining tables for 12 (one at each house), plus additional seating at the nearby kitchen islands.
We understand the importance of including every member of the family. Both Thistle Cottage and Claymore Cottage are dog-friendly, allowing you to bring your beloved four-legged companions along!
Both properties have been designed with accessibility in mind, too. There is ramp entry to the main levels, plus each home has an accessible bedroom and a bathroom with grab bars at the toilet and the shower, as well as a handheld showerhead.
On each home’s lower deck, a private container pool beckons. Take refreshing summer dips, or turn the pools into giant hot tubs for fall and early winter soaks.
Depending on the weather:
- Summer temperature is 84-86 degrees (roughly end of May to mid September)
- Rest of the year the temperature is 97-99 degrees for your stay (mid September until end of the year school holidays and again mid March to just before the end of May)
- Container pool is CLOSED from January to early March (area indoor pool is OPEN)
Savour your morning coffee on the upper decks while taking in the tranquil lake view. Hungry for brunch, but don’t want to leave?
Grill burgers on the gas BBQ grill (again, one at each house), fry up some eggs to slide on top, call everyone out to the al fresco dining table and voila! Brunch burgers with a view.
If rain rolls in, no problem. Head to the family rooms for a game of pool or a film on the large-screen TVs.
When the rain clears again, head out to explore. Choose from a full menu of Branson and Table Rock Lake activities, dining, shopping and adventures within easy driving distance.

Perfect Family House
Our stay at the Claymore and Thistle Cottages was everything we could have hoped for. Everything was clean and perfectly kept. We cooked every night and even to pots and pans were top notch. There was so much for the kids to do with the pools, games, and hidden room. The adults enjoyed the game tables. There was lots of room for everyone to have their own space when needed. And our hosts Natt, Tyann,and Adrian were amazing. I would definitely rent from them again and highly recommend working with them.
