About this property

Best Lakefront Lodge in Branson! Dock, Fishing Canoes, Pool Table!

The Red Elk Lodge is a secluded, beautiful, unique and luxurious lakefront lodge. It is perfect for family reunions, gatherings, and celebrations! Intricate custom woodwork abounds throughout the entire home with knotty pine floors and walls, vaulted ceilings, and a custom staircase!

LOCATION:
It is located in a peaceful cove with no other homes in sight, and still only 6 miles to the Branson Landing and the 76 strip!

BEDROOMS:
This custom-built lodge has six deluxe king bedrooms with carefully selected top-grade mattresses, sheets, and bedding. Every bedroom is equipped with a king size bed and a smart TV. The bunk area is located on the lower level. There are two double bunk beds and a 60" smart TV.
There are four bathrooms, two on each level.

DINING ROOM AND GREAT ROOM:
The Red Elk Lodge has very large common areas, which are great for big gatherings! The dining room has room for everyone, seating 20! The great room is open to the dining room and the large kitchen.

KITCHEN:
Our spacious kitchen features an antique-style gas stove and oven, an additional electric oven, and two refrigerators. The fully stocked kitchen has pots, pans, mixing bowls, baking dishes, toasters, blender, crock pot, coffee maker, and cooking utensils.

ENTERTAINMENT:
The lodge has something for everyone with free wifi, two big screen smart TVs, cable, pool table on the covered deck and even board games. The lodge has over 1100 square feet of covered decking with three picnic tables overlooking Lake Taneycomo and a large BBQ grill big enough to cook for everyone!

THE GREAT OUTDOORS:
Gather your family and friends around the large stone fire pit and roast marshmallows, or just relax and listen to the gentle flowing water of the cove. A dock was installed February 2021 and it is perfect for taking in the beautiful scenery of the cove during each season! Bring your fishing poles for great trout fishing on beautiful Lake Taneycomo! You are welcome to fish from the dock, but the best fishing is done aboard the three fishing and leisure canoes!

Family holiday

The property was beautiful!! Everything you could imagine to meet our needs was supplied. The host was very helpful and was quick to answer any questions. The only wrinkle was learning to navigate the driveway but with the helpful suggestions listed in the our welcome letter, that was quickly accomplished. Highly recommend

Peaceful/Quiet getaway Place

This huge cabin was great; it had plenty of room and space that was perfect for all being together and yet if you needed space, you could find someplace to go. The huge kitchen, double fridge/freezers, electric oven and gas stovetop/oven made it convenient for us to cook meals; and the huge dining table allowed us to eat together. The wrap around porch with grill, pool table and rocking chairs made it a fun place to hangout. We enjoyed the huge fire pit several evenings down near the shoreline. We would highly recommend this place and would definitely book it again in the future.in the the evenings.

Great stay for family gathering

Fantastic location and home. We absolutely loved the setting and being able to let the kids fish from dock and others to jump in the canoes and get to the ‘real’ fishing areas. We also loved the fire pit and openness of the place. Super roomy with everything you need for a great vacation.

Friend Rendevous in Branson

This was a great place for my family to meet up with our friends. We both have large families and the lodge accommodated us very well. Everything was as advertised. The kitchen really facilitated both families with dual everything. We loved the canoes and enjoyed a lot of time canoeing around the water, fishing on the dock and campfire by the water.

Family Vacation

The lodge was amazing. Everyone said this was their favorite place we have stayed in. We have been coming to Branson for 8 yrs for vacation. Kitchen was perfect for cooking for a large group. We had 17. Our only complaint would be the lake was very dirty and mossy. The kids could not get in and swim. The mosquitoes were very bad. We bought spray to spray on patio and dwn at the deck. Of course not the owners fault. Just that time of year! We hope to stay again!

It was nice with plenty of room. We wish there would have been better lighting so we could see better to play games and do puzzles. The lake was scummy not appealing for swimming at all.

Family Reunion

Great for the whole family! We had ages 11-90 in our group and everyone loved our stay here! Plenty of time spent canoeing, fishing off the dock, around the campfire, and at the LARGE dining table that fit all of us! The path down to the campfire and water is a bit challenging for the elderly but that is normal for most lake houses. We definitely appreciated and needed the 2 refrigerators! The kitchen is well stocked with supplies. Campfire chairs would be a good improvement. Beautiful view!

Anniversary Celebration

Exactly as pictured and described. One of the best rental properties we have ever booked both domestic and internationally. Open and spacious floor plan, comfortable beds and fantastic equipped kitchen. There was nothing we needed that wasn’t provided. Weather was the only downside but March is always unpredictable. Still enjoyed going out on deck and down to dock. We would rent this property again and highly recommend to others. Michael always responded to all my questions promptly. Thank you for a wonderful week with family!

Great for large group

This is a very remote location on TaneyCoMo. This was perfect for our family get away. There was plenty of room all 13 of us, ranging from 10 - 78. Couple of things to note, the steps are many to the water, and after the steps is a pretty good slope. The water is shallow in this cove, but we were able to get a deck boat in and out and saw several bass boats throughout the week. The kitchen is very large and very well stocked. I have not been in another VRBO with a complete cabinet full of spices. Plus oil, flour and sugar. All in all we would rent it again. The low cleanliness rating is due to the floors not being swept or mopped and the dining table not being cleaned. I communicated with the property manager about these things and he responded in a timely manner.

Big Chill 4

We had 7 people who shared the lodge, everyone loved having their own king size bed and their own bedroom. The kitchen is to died for, double ovens, double coffee pots, double refrigerators, 5 gas burners and pretty much any kitchen tools & supply's you could need. Our group are long time friends that enjoy getting together for relaxing, playing games, cooking and using minimal energy exertion- we call it the Big Chill. Unfortunately, this year was truly a Big Chill event because we lost a member right before this years event. RIP Jimmy Holley! The dock area was pretty mossy but we still had someone who fished and caught three small fish (but he put them back). We built an amazing fire in the fire pit and enjoyed the evening listening to music and remembering those that we loved and lost. We played several games and enjoyed several meals at the large dinning area. We played pool but we had to share the only pool stick that had a felt tip. I bet Management might not be aware that the pool sticks have no felt tips. Big Chill members gives this place total thumbs up and would re-rent again in the future. Thank you, Lori (Big Chill Organizer)
