Best family lake trip!

The property has an amazing deck that wrapped around… 15 of us were able to do puzzles hang out and enjoy the beautiful scenery for our graduation vacation! This was probably one of the best kited out kitchens we have had with VRBO.

Great house for multiple families

We had a great time at the house for a multigenerational family vacation! There was plenty of room for the 13 of us. We really enjoyed the canoes. It was the perfect location for doing activities in Branson, so close but felt secluded. Highly recommend!

Grandmother's Birthday

Fabulous home with amenities to match. Very clean, fully furnished home with lots of games and activities for the teens and adults. Waterfront was not "swim-able" according to teens, due to mucky bottom and grasses. Plenty of space for 4 family groups, and 4 teens in the bunk room. Canoes, pool table, and dock made the outdoor experience unique.

Family vacation

The property was in a beautiful setting. The dock and 3 canoes were used a lot. The lodge was beautifully decorated. Beds were very comfortable. We would come back again. The host promptly replied to all our questions. The large deck gave a scenic view of the lake. Pool table provided fun as well. Highly recommend!

The house was spacious and comfortable for a large family group. The large kitchen with two refrigerators was a real plus and a large dining room table allowed us all to eat together as a family. The young adults enjoyed the pool table and outdoor space. The dock and the canoes were a big hit with the guys.

Great house for family gatherings! We had 14 in our Trost Girl Cousins group and had everything we needed. Bedrooms and bedding were fantastic. We mostly stayed at the house and the kitchen was thoroughly stocked - two fridges, every utensil one could need, grill, plenty of everything! We had loads of room at the dining tables and the living area was great for lounging. The deck was perfect and the dock was great to have for floating on the water. The host was a super communicator and fast at responding to all our questions and needs. Can't imagine anything else we could have wanted or needed. Typically we travel to different places for our our annual trip but several of my guests suggested coming back again to Red Elk.

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

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.

Wonderful stay! We had our whole family here... Kids, parents, grandparents... And it was set up perfectly! The owner was very helpful and responded quickly to any questions or concerns. From the huge, well stocked kitchen to the canoes and provided life vests and fishing gear, they provided for almost everything you'd want to do! Not a lot of luck fishing from the dock, but we were successful from the canoes. Only one thing, more as an fyi, the roads to the house are narrow and there are steep drops on the sides, so be careful when driving to the house. But it's beautiful and you see a bunch of wildlife! As far as location, there is a gas station and grocery store not too far (about 7-10 minutes), and Branson is 15-20 minutes away. We would definitely stay again, thank you for providing an exceptional place to make lifelong memories!
