We stayed here recently for a family Christmas weekend. We were very impressed!! Part of the…read morefamily stayed across the street at the Canyon Retreat, but we stayed at Nature's Retreat. First things first....call dibs on the master bedroom!! We had the OTHER main floor bedroom, and it was the smallest of the ones we saw, plus only a shower. The master is huge, with a huge bathroom and jetted (and huge) tub. There are TVs in every living space and bedroom (there are 5 bedrooms, I think). The cable stations are a bit out of whack, but that's the area, not the house. The home was decorated very tastefully. The bed was fairly firm, but that's better than being too soft. The home was very clean, and had some decent views, although with the new construction nearby, some of the area's grounds were a bit torn up and unsightly. It wasn't far to the lake, and I wouldn't consider it being ON the lake. The clubhouse was fabulous as well. I could list all the amenities, but they are all listed quite accurately on their website. DO bring your own shampoo and soap of course. There was a small sample of some wonderful shampoo, but barely enough for me, let alone anyone else. The prices are VERY reasonable; you can't stay in an upscale hotel for the price you get the house!! It was fairly simple to find, despite arriving just before dusk and the sun in my eyes the whole time. Just make sure you don't stay on 265 when given the option...go to Highway P a few feet past that turn.

The home is just minutes from Branson, which worked out great to accommodate for nap times. When we weren't out on the Branson Landing, or visiting hot spots in Branson, we could relax in the spacious home nestled in a wooded area near the lake. The house was very clean and had everything we needed to cook a meal and just relax. When our son went to sleep, my wife and I played pool, watched TV or just enjoyed the calm on the back deck. We found great restaurants in Hollister where we could avoid some the hustle and bustle of Branson. We had the best night of sleep in a long time on the comfortable beds. I will recommend this vacation home to anyone visiting Branson. The house has five bedrooms and we will visit again with family and friends.

This was our second year staying with thousand hills. The first stay was nice and is why it's…read moregetting the two stars, the cabin floors were so dirty. The high traffic areas needed some serious cleaning. The master bed was all caved in and broken. Just a really bad experience. My kids knees were visibly dirty from just crawling around on the floors like toddlers do. If this is what's considered clean, then I would not recommend these cabins. It was pretty gross.

Our stay at WorldMark at Branson was extremely disappointing due to a serious cleanliness issue…read more Late one evening, we discovered bed bugs on the shower curtain in our unit. This was alarming and completely unacceptable. We immediately contacted the help desk around 11:30 p.m. to report the issue. Unfortunately, we were told there was nothing they could do at that time and that a manager would be emailed. No alternative accommodations, inspection, or immediate assistance was offered. Because of this, we felt we had no choice but to cut our trip short. We were staying with family and friends and had activities planned for another full day, all of which had to be canceled. This was especially frustrating and disappointing right before Christmas. A situation like this should be handled with urgency and care. The lack of response and support only made an already stressful situation worse. We expected much better from a resort of this reputation.

So it rained the entire weekend I was here and then I found out that the HDMI ports on tv's are…read morelocked out for connecting your own devices. Why can I go to a $50 a night 1 star hotel and connect my son's Xbox to the tv with no problem so he can play games or use our own Netflix account (because I refuse to put my account info on a device that isn't mine) but I come to a luxury resort and HDMI access is locked out? I had to go to Walmart the first morning I was there to buy a 24" tv and set it up on the coffee table for the weekend. They claim that the sales meetings aren't pressured but in reality you are absolutely pressured to go to these meetings. I know they say there are some perks for doing it but then I just found out there aren't any perks at all. The water heater isn't even big enough to fill up the jacuzzi bathtub 1 time. Water turns cold before the level gets up to the jets. No elevator. I looked around the room for this sales meeting and there is no one under 50 years old. I just had spinal surgery 10 months ago. I checked in late around 11pm. I was stuck carrying a 52 lbs suitcase up and down the stairs because there is no elevator or even a stairs bypass path. I do believe that is an ADA violation. On previous trips to Branson (I come here regularly because I have family that live near by) I was put at The Falls which was very nice. This Worldmark property is a downgrade compared to The Falls even though I was told that this place is supposed to be better. It's not. And last... DO NOT let this place scam you into attending their sales meeting with the offer of a free week vacation. The offer is complete trash. 99% of the available locations have an upgrading fee. Out of curiosity I searched for a hotel in my area that was covered by the "free week vacation" offer. The upgrade fee was $1219.99 for specific 7 days the offer stated it was valid for. I then did a regular online search for the same place using the same days in the offer and found it was $861. Where is the free week vacation if it costs roughly $350 more to use the free week offer than just booking online directly?

Some places simply provide a place to stay. Others provide something far more difficult to…read moredescribe; a sense that, for a brief moment, you arrived exactly where you were supposed to be. Our stay here at the Little House on the 12th Hole, though only for one night, was extraordinary. The home carried a warmth and character that no hotel could ever truly replicate. Everything felt thoughtful, comfortable, and inviting, with a level of peace that immediately made the choice feel like the right one. It was well worth the money, and in truth, far beyond what ordinary accommodations usually offer. There is something to be said for a place that not only meets expectations, but quietly exceeds them without effort. Choosing this property was absolutely the right decision, and just as importantly, offering it to guests was clearly the right decision by those who made it available. It is a place that leaves a lasting impression, even in a short stay, and one I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for something genuinely special.

The pool is very clean as well. If I'm looking for negatives, it is a little odd that the owners walk around in their robes in the morning. But it is their home.

Even down to a waffle maker in the kitchen, shampoo conditioner and body wash dispenser in the shower, and firewood for the fireplace. We found ourselves not wanting to leave the cabin!!

I don't have a single bad thing to say, and it was a wonderful experience! Once you stay here, and hotel room will never suffice. We will definitely be back!!!
