Couples Retreat

Long weekend trip for our couple friend group, we enjoyed the house so much. It was a beautiful house and decorated so cute for Christmas. It was perfect for 4 couples and the pictures did not do it justice. It has anything and everything you could possible need to enjoy your stay.

Perfection!

5 stars just aren’t enough to give this property. This is where my family stays every year for our Christmas vacation. Accommodations are more than excellent and the property is over the top with Christmas decor. The view is stunning as we relax and watch the river and wild life. The owners are so easy to communicate with and very responsive. Highly recommend!

Fall Retreat

Amazing beauty tucked in the Ozarks. We have utilized many VRBO's over the past 15 years this is top notch. The pictures on line are beautiful in person the place and setting are stunning. We fished everyday from the dock or kayaks and caught many trout. The house amenities were plentiful and there is much to do indoors and out...Will definitely be back for another visit.

Awesome place

The property is well kept and maintained. It is provided with everything we needed; linens, towels, bicycles, kayakers, board games, etc. the location is superb right on the river, which gets foggy often (hence the name of the street). This phenomenon added more beauty and serenity. Will definitely come back again.

Family Time on Taneycomo

The pictures do not due justice to this home. Beautiful is an understatement. The attention to detail is great. The house is well stocked. Our family of 13 found everything very we could have hoped for, kids had their own area.On a hot summer day sitting on the dock with the cool Taneycomo breeze is very nice. I liked drinking coffee in the morning sitting by the lake as the fog rises to meet you. Wonderful!

Wow!! Gorgeous lodge with AMAZING views!

This property truly is AMAZING! The inside makes you feel like you’re in the Colorado Rockies and the outside is just as amazing!! There is so much this property offers for ALL ages. The toddlers LOVED the low windows where they could watch the outdoor activities, our young adults loved the kayaks and many games provided, us older adults loved the fishing, outdoor campfires and outdoor swings. But you know what everyone enjoyed most… those two huge double chairs overlooking the river. Views were spectacular…,deer drinking ant the rivers edge and geese floating the river. We’ve rented great homes in Colorado and Canada and this one topped them all. Ralph and Roni were so easy to work with, answering our every question within minutes. Definitely the best experience we’ve ever had. Oh! Did I mention the awesome holiday decorations both inside the home and outside! A huge hit for the entire family. Location couldn’t have been better either for all of our activities we had planned….Silver Dollar City, Dolly Parton Stampede, Sight & Sound Theater, and others. Thanks Ralph & Roni…..LOVED your home!

Picture Perfect Getaway!!

Now that was a picture perfect getaway. The Great Trout Lodge was truly a dream come true and a one of a kind lake house. From the spacious rooms to the massive living and dining room, getting the family together would be a breeze. We had a blast playing all the table games there. From the pool table, to foosball to ping pong to my favorite... air hockey. Let's not forget the arcade games. But the cream of the crop, was definitely the walk out to the double boat dock. Once you walk past the massive hot tub and the fish pond, you find a one of a kind view of Lake Taneycomo. The fire pit made for a picturesque place to chill while the boat dock offered plenty of room to tan and fish. We are already planning our next trip to the lodge with the family. This is the spot to book, you won't be disappointed.

Didn’t Want to Leave

My wife and I have stayed in many places and this lodge was by far the best place we’ve rented. The natural setting, furnishings, amenities and hosts were the absolutely the best. I would give a higher rating but 5 stars is the best. Did I mention the hosts? Roni and Ralph were so gracious in every way. Even left a surprise to help celebrate my 70th birthday. The lodge has such a warm family vibe as soon as you walk through the door you can tell there have been many many memories made there. Despite having choices of things to do in Branson we opted to remain on property for most of our stay. We caught multiple trout right from the dock, more than when we rented a pontoon at Liley’s Landing. The lodge is impressive in structure, design and has something for everyone. I could go on but the description and amenities list is accurate so book it! You won’t regret it.

Family vacation

Think of a log cabin in the woods. Peaceful, beautiful and comfortable. The house and view was breathtaking. We played games, grilled fish caught off the dock, had a fire in the firepit, soaked and relaxed in the hottub and just breathed. The only kind of negative thing because of my knee problems, was the toilets are very very low. But a quick trip to the store fixed that. Also, the front door is very hard to open. Needs a new handle, but you can enter through the garage. We absolutely will be going back. The owners are wonderful people and kept in contact with us to make sure we were all taken care of. They even had a huge platter of cookies for us when we arrived.

An Unforgettable Company Retreat at the Great Trout Lodge

Our recent Company Retreat to the Great Trout Lodge was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the comfort and amenities this property had to offer. Each room boasted incredibly comfortable beds, ensuring a restful night's sleep for all in our group with room to spare. The chef's kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to prepare our meals throughout our stay, making cooking a breeze. The breathtaking view of the lake from the window was a highlight of our experience. It truly felt like we were transported to another world, offering a serene backdrop to our time together. The hot tub was a favorite among our team, providing relaxation and rejuvenation after a day of meetings and activities. With space to park two pontoons in the slip, we were able to explore the lake at our leisure. At night, the firepit was where we all gathered to tell stories and was just an awesome experience. The spacious dock became the heart of our retreat offering ample room for all of us to gather comfortably. We spent countless hours enjoying the beautiful surroundings and bonding as a team. The game room in the garage was a hit as well, providing endless entertainment with foosball, arcade games and ping pong. A huge thank you to the hosts for providing such an exceptional experience. We cannot recommend it highly enough. We are already planning our next visit and can't wait to create more unforgettable memories. We'll be back soon! JT

About the host

Hosted by Roni Moore

Host profile image
We came to Branson 47 years ago for our Honeymoon. We stayed at a little resort called "Sammy Lane Resort" on Lake Taneycomo right were the Landing Shopping Plaza is now. My Husband has been coming to Branson since he was a child trout fishing with his father. We loved this area and continued to come here on vacations. We raised our family of 4 children (3 boys and 1 girl) and continued the tradition of vacationing in Branson. We have stayed in resorts, motor homes, nightly rentals, etc. in this area over the years. We are blessed to be able to now have this home to bring our family to as well as share with others. As you can see by our photo, we now have grown our family to 8 children (including our in-laws) with 9 wonderful grandchildren. A very special time for our family is the Christmas season in Branson. It is truly magical.

We would love for you to choose to stay with us and hope you can create as many happy memories as we have over these many years.
