We had a full kitchen with utensils and appliances (coffee pot and toaster). Also a washer and dryer (with soap). I got a boat to just cruise around a little and the marina folks were very accommodating. We jointly picked a boat appropriate for me, they gave me a thorough explanation of boat controls and protocols, and pointed out a couple places to see. The pool is heated and right outside the Tiki bar, which was very convenient. There was live entertainment even in the morning and afternoon. The restaurant was closed (late in the season) but they did serve some food in the Tiki. All in all, a very nice stay.

I'm extremely disappointed with my recent stay. The only reason we stayed here was because…read moreeverything else in Branson was booked, but I truly wish we had other options. First, the hotel is under renovation--a major inconvenience that was never mentioned on the website. The room we received looked nothing like the photos online. It was outdated, worn down, and honestly felt dirty. There were roaches in the room, the bathtub was disgusting and clearly not cleaned properly, and the couch was so dirty it was uncomfortable to sit on. It was easily one of the most unhygienic hotel rooms I've ever stayed in. On top of that, the front desk staff weren't friendly or helpful. We weren't given any information about the property or amenities, and they seemed uninterested in offering any kind of service. The parking lot was mostly closed off due to construction, and we weren't warned about that either, which made getting in and out of the property a hassle. This place advertises itself as a "resort," but charging $600 for this experience is unacceptable. It felt more like a rundown motel than a relaxing getaway. I don't usually write negative reviews, but travelers deserve to know what they're getting into. I would not recommend staying here. Was called by someone who works here saying "we've never had anyone complain of the rooms being gross. And the exterminator came and didn't find anything". And they were throwing it back on me for not calling to complain. Well in my experience, that tub, carpet, couch and roaches aren't going to be cleaned over night. So what exactly could they have done? The cleaners shouldn't have left this room like this.

He got us all set up in a tube that lets you sit up (which is way more fun than laying on my stomach and holding on for dear life like I had to in my teens). Scott gave them waves when they wanted them and stopped immediately when they gave the signal. He was flexible about taking us all over the lake to show us cool houses and where the village of Oasis under the lake could be seen. Definitely recommend Captain Scott if you want a casual day on the water and don't want to drive!

I've done a few Duck Tours in my life and here's why I liked this one best:…read more1) The tour guide was super entertaining. Chatted up the kids who really stole the show. Made dumb jokes. Kept us all listening and entertained. 2) It's not one of those history-heavy duck tours. I can't stand when they throw a lot of knowledge at you. I can't remember it and I just want to enjoy it. This is a fun one, guys. Also, no offense to Branson, but there's no history here. As far as I can tell this is a "if you build it they will come and spend money" type of place. 3) It's like an hour or so long so you can get back to shopping or seeing a show or whatever is tugging at your wallet. The host was great - super nice and super memorable guy - loved it.

Let me start by saying the employees were very friendly and easy to talk to. There was a playground…read moreinside the waiting area for the kids which was fun, but was $5 plus tax for each kid to play. The tour itself was very disappointing. It's nothing like the old tours used to be. About 50 minutes of it was just sitting in Branson traffic while the tour guide made small talk. There were very few facts actually given about what we were passing as drove by. Then they switched captains and we gently went into the water (no fun splash anymore) and we very slowly cruised around Lake Taneycomo for maybe 10 minutes and then we went back and sat in more traffic. The kids are no longer allowed to "drive" the boat. It was the most disappointing waste of $200. I wanted to love it but I really just couldn't.

We had a wonderful evening aboard the Silver Dollar City Showboat. We upgraded to Captain's Club…read moretickets, and it made all the difference. From where we started at the White River Landing, everything was smooth and well organized. The landing itself is charming, especially in the evening with string lights and a couple of shops designed to match the showboat's vintage aesthetic. There was a dedicated priority boarding line for Captain's Club guests that started on time and before general admission, so we avoided any wait. Staff efficiently guided us through boarding (complete with photo opportunity with an option to purchase later) and to our seats in the dining area. The dining experience was outstanding thanks to our attentive server and other dining staff. With Captain's Club, we enjoyed a menu to choose from, were served ahead of the general admission guests, and the food arrived quickly. During dinner, the show with the Rivertown Ramblers was energetic, also well-organized, and highly entertaining. The talented vocalists and musicians delivered a fantastic performance. The combination of the scenic cruise, great food, priority service, and live entertainment made for a memorable evening and one of the highlights of our Branson trip. I highly recommend the Showboat to anyone visiting and definitely upgrade to Captain's Club if you can.

A meal of baked chicken, pot roast, green beans, mashed potato with gravy, Mac n cheese, salad and roll are all enjoyed during. Menu looks like it might be updated seasonally with the spring dessert being a vanilla cake with berry sauce and cream. I added coffee and our wonderful server brought it promptly. The Rivertown Ramblers are now the headliners. Seeing them perform before at Silver Dollar city I knew they were good but they have really put together a great show for all ages. Truly appreciate the way the honor birthdays, anniversary's, and veterans. A 40 minute intermission and the invitation is given to explore the boat meet the captain and take in a truly beautiful table rock lake sunset. They told us to arrive an hour before our ticket time but we I think we would have been okay even coming 30 minutes before. It's well organized but having that extra time for our first visit was fine. After dinner and disembarking we tried the trail around the lake because we were still full. Would 100% do it again. The boat bathrooms were a little different and stopped flushing but staff were quick to respond. Overall staff were great and attentive! Nice big parking lot. My only advice is avoid the 2nd tier side seating. Go for the floor or 2nd tier facing the stage. The side seating visually cuts off half the stage.

One of Branson, Mo greatest gems is this pretty little lake…read more Some of the best mornings of my life have been spent on this quite little lake; guiding kayak tours in the spring and summer months, admiring all the adorable, chicks, ducks, Heron, turtles, fish, Canada Geese, and bald eagles-it was wonderful to watch the seasons change with the chaning colors of the leaves and the changing colors on the breasts of all the waterfowl; saying good morning to all the polite and funny fly-fishermen at dawn; giggling at the beavers who would sometimes scare the cr*p outta me by splashing into the water while I was admiring a Great Blue Heron; paddling my kayak through the icey waters, myself and my kayak covered in snow, during the winter. What I really loved, during the super-hot summer months, was when they would do a dam release and the cold water from the bottom of Table Rock lake would turn Lake Taneycomo into a super-cold 40degrees stream, creating this beautiful foggy mist, making morning kayak trips gloriously romantic, refreshing, and a luxurious treat. Some may think it's a stream or a gentle river upon first inspection because there is usually a bit of a current. This is because they let do "dam releases" from Table rock lake which regulates the lake levels of Taneycomo. So, even though it moves like a river it is technically a lake since it is dammed on both sides. SUGGESTIONS: Bring a kayak. You'll see so much more. You'll never disturb the little critters. Youll get to sneek up on happy little turtle families. Make more friend with the fly-fishermen by telling them where all the great fishing holes are without disturbing the fish. Bring a camera. Enjoy!
