PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE BOOKING

■ RENTAL AGREEMENT & SECURITY DEPOSIT - You will be sent a Rental Agreement. Signing and returning the rental agreement is a requirement for staying at this property. If you do not sign the rental agreement within 24 hours of booking, your booking may be canceled. This includes setting up a security deposit that will be held during your stay and refunded 48 hrs after checkout, assuming there is no damage to the property.

■ LAKE INFO- Lake Taneycomo is the coldest lake in MO and is famous for fishing trout, bass, bluegill, and more. It is not an ideal swimming lake, but the cold waters can be enjoyed in the hottest months of the year. Lake weeds do grow up in the shallow waters in front of the cabin for about 6 months of the year, so if you want to get into the water, plan to paddle the kayaks out to one of the coves across the lake. In the warmer months, a micro plant called Water Meal also begins to float on the lake's surface and gather along the shore. This green, grain-like plant does not harm your health or inhibit fishing. You are welcome to fish on the resort's shore and off the dock. The best fishing tends to be out in the lake's deeper waters.

■ HOT TUB - Absolutely NO GLASS or food near the hot tub. NO BUBBLES, NO SALTS OR OILS can be added to the hot tub. You must shower first and wear a swimsuit (not clothes) in the hot tub. The hot tub is professionally serviced after each guest. Let us know if it needs to be served during your stay.

■ PETS - Dog friendly! The number of dogs must be selected upon booking. We allow up to 2 house-trained dogs under 75 lbs. each. There is an additional fee of $150 fee per dog added to the total of your trip. Pets must be kenneled when left home alone. They must be on a leash at all times when outside of the cabin. Guests are responsible for cleaning up any waste from their pets. Guests must ensure that barking does not disturb our neighbors. Pets are never to be left alone outside. Please use the dog blankets provided if your pet will be on the couch or bed. We provide a basic kennel, a doggy bed, poop bags, and a lint roller. Excessive pet hair, damage, or smells will result in additional fees.

■ AGE - All guests must be 24+ with the exception of children with their parents.

■ OCCUPANCY - Maximum 12 Persons. If you bring more people than accounted for on your reservation, you will be asked to leave without a refund.

■ SECURITY CAMERA - There is a security camera on the front porch for your protection. You will be asked to leave the property immediately without a refund if you touch or tamper with the camera. This is for your protection.

■ NO SMOKING - This is a NON-SMOKING/VAPING cabin.

■ UNCONTROLLABLE SITUATION - No refunds for weather/natural disasters/power outages/other things that are beyond our control. Please purchase travel insurance for coverage if this is a concern.

■ CHECK-IN/OUT - Check-in at 4:00 PM. Check-out at 10:00 AM. We do not offer early check-ins or late check-outs.

■ CRITTERS - We have the cabin on a regular pest control schedule to help minimize the possibility of insects and critters. However, this is a lake area, and some insects are unavoidable. You can occasionally expect to see critters (bugs, ants, bats, spiders, etc.) in or around the cabin. If this is a concern for you, a place further from the water may be a better fit for you. Please help us by keeping the floors swept, keeping sweets in the fridge, and cleaning up the trash.

We would love to host your group! Book now and lock in your rate!

Beautiful View in a Quiet Resort

Our family had an amazing 8 days at this property! Everyone had a fantastic time relaxing on the large porch. We were steps from the lake (an amazing view from the porch) and enjoyed watching the geese. We took advantage of the boat docks for some fishing and took a swim in the resort pool. It was so quiet and peaceful it was hard to tell that almost every building in the resort was occupied. We also enjoyed the easy 30 min drive into Branson for shows, golf, and activities. It was nice to leave the hustle and bustle and get back to the peace and quiet at the resort and this amazing lodge. Everyone had plenty of space and we found everything just as described. We will defninitely be repeat customers.

About the host

Hosted by Chris Fillingham

Host profile image
My wife and I live in St. Louis with our 4 kids. We love creating special memories for our family and hope we can help create some for you. There is a line from John O'Donahue that inspires what we do, "Beauty blows the heart open." We hope our family's cabin will be a place where you and your loved ones can gather to experience beauty and joy.

Why they chose this property

Chris' great-grandfather retired and moved to the neighborhood next door because Lake Taneycomo has long been seen as the best fishing lake in the Midwest. So, this place has lots of memories for us as a family. This particular cabin was built in 1990's and has been gutted and remodeled in 2022. Its location on the water's edge makes it the absolute best view around. It just cannot be beaten!

What makes this property unique

This large cabin is great for groups or families. It has a 2 bedroom/1bath suit on each side, with a large open concept living room and kitchen in between. The covered deck overlooking the lake is quite special. The kayaks, fireable, and fireplace will make this a place you will want to come back to year after year!

The resort sits on a park-like setting with lots of space, a pool, playground, docks, a boat ramp and dock slips available for rent. All this is an easy walk from your cabin's door.
