What happens when you combine two lovely vacation homes on Table Rock Lake? You get “The Cottages”—a winning combo of our Thistle Cottage and our Claymore Cottage, bundled together in one easy booking for up to 28 guests and 4 dogs! "The kids loved the game room area, the pool and the hidden room. So much fun! The check in and check out process was so easy and Branson Family Retreats made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay great!" – Chelsea (Arkansas) With a total of 11 king-size bedrooms, 11 bathrooms (one for each bedroom!), 2 kitchens, 2 Great Rooms, 2 family rooms with pool tables, 2 year-round container pools, and 1 gorgeous lake view, The Cottages have everything you need for an unforgettable group retreat, big family reunion, or other special event. Right down to the two EV chargers for your vehicles. Two fully equipped kitchens impress even the most discerning chef. Each features modern appliances, ample counter space, and all the necessary cookware and utensils, including KitchenAid mixers. Gather around two spacious dining tables for 12 (one at each house), plus additional seating at the nearby kitchen islands. We understand the importance of including every member of the family. Both Thistle Cottage and Claymore Cottage are dog-friendly, allowing you to bring your beloved four-legged companions along! Both properties have been designed with accessibility in mind, too. There is ramp entry to the main levels, plus each home has an accessible bedroom and a bathroom with grab bars at the toilet and the shower, as well as a handheld showerhead. On each home’s lower deck, a private container pool beckons. Take refreshing summer dips, or turn the pools into giant hot tubs for fall and winter soaks. Savor your morning coffee on the upper decks while taking in the tranquil lake view. Hungry for brunch, but don’t want to leave? Grill burgers on the gas BBQ grill (again, one at each house), fry up some eggs to slide on top, call everyone out to the al fresco dining table and voila! Brunch burgers with a view. If rain rolls in, no problem. Head to the family rooms for a game of pool or a movie on the large-screen TVs. When the rain clears again, head out to explore. Choose from a full menu of Branson and Table Rock Lake activities, dining, shopping and adventures within easy driving distance. <<<------------>>> OUR NEIGHBORHOOD Up a sending road from a public boat lunch and sweet cove to play in and no more than 35 minutes from practically anywhere else you want to go in the Branson area, this vacation home is the perfect base to chill out at during your vacation. Our community of Rocky Shores is 2.5 miles off Hwy. 265, giving you easy access to the traffic relief routes to move about the Branson area easily. <<<------------>>> INDOOR AND OUTDOOR POOLS The outdoor pool is open late May to mid September, weather permitting, and it's awesome! Splash pad, lounge area, and the swimming area. The indoor pool is open all year round! It's only a short walk to the community indoor and outdoor pools, providing additional opportunities for relaxation and enjoyment. Take a refreshing dip in the pool or lounge poolside under the warm sun, embracing the ultimate vacation experience. You could not be in a more perfect spot for your vacation!
