Beautiful and quiet location. Perfect for our family reunion. Very well equipped kitchen. Many VRBO's only give you a starting supply of paper products, but Lost Branch provides an ample quantity for a large group. Owner is very detailed in providing everything you need for your stay. We would definitely stay again.

Our family had a great time sitting around the campfire. We really appreciated having wood available. The kids had fun in the pond. Plenty of room for all. This is our 3rd year at Brashear and we’ve already booked next year. Thank you for providing a wonderful place for our family to gather.

Incredible A Home Away from Home

Perfect gathering place for our Annual Christmas celebration! The lodge had INCREDIBLE amenities, fully and I mean fully stocked kitchen and cooking and utensils and appliances for preparing our full meals and eating as a large group for all our meals together! Such a warm cozy fun filled adventure to book and enjoy our family time together and enoughRoom to spread out and have private time or quiet time as needed for families and children. Would Definitely rebook and recommend for large groups. The multi propose room was a great place to gather for games and snacks and crafting/coloring/puzzle stations ands set up game areas to accommodate all age ranges! Thank you!

Beautiful Family Reunion Site

The facility is IDEAL for a family reunion! We had ages 4-90 on the property and it was comfortable for all. Kids played outside or in the pond or on the playground. Adults visited on the porch or in the living room. The kitchen is a perfect setup to entertain with a large center island for serving and a table that seats 14. Beautiful venue.

Games Galore

Year 27 of college friends gathering for some focused tournament style card games and table top games. This is a great central location to all involved, in a nice natural setting, but near enough Kirksville for food and such. Kitchen, dining, and living area is large, with the additional play room being great bonus space. Pond with beach and surrounding nature was beautifully arranged and kept, making for relaxing walks during breaks. Well suited for our needs. Expect a repeat!
