This city is a major tourist destination. It is known as the "Live Entertainment Capital of the…read moreWorld" and is most popular in the Summer. I does however, still gets a good flow of tourist in the Winter during the Holidays. This place is known for its resorts, shows and museums. Some of its poplar shows include Reza, Awesome 80s, theTexas Tenors, Dolly Pardon's Stampede, Queens Esther, The Haygoods, the Legends in Concert, the Yakov Smirnoff Show and the Branson Murder Mystery Dinner Theater. All shows are not created equal, so please do your homework to pick the one that is best for you. Some notable museums include, Behind the Lens, the Titanic, Retro Mania, and the Toy Museum. The city does not have a shortage of fine restaurants to dine at and an outlet mall. Parking around town is pretty easy and most attractions have their own free parking lot. With this being a tourist town, you will experience slower traffic, and higher prices than usual. Also, be ware, there are a lot of time share and scammers that hide behind the guise of giving you tickets to a show. I recommend avoiding them at all cost. We visited during Thanksgiving weekend and everything was pretty much operating on a regular schedule, the town was set up for Christmas, and there were a lot of visitors. I would suggest checking each attractions website and Groupon to find deals and possibly save you a few bucks. In total, the town has over fifty theaters with a total of 60,000 theater seats, and 400 restaurants, with over 35,000 seats. At its peak, the city can be hosting over 100,000 visitors. The town itself is easy to navigate and get around. It is pretty clean and felt safe. My family and I enjoyed our time here. This town is supported heavily by year-round tourism and pretty much everyone that I encountered was friendly, greeting me with a smile and nod of the head. I really like this town. There is so much to do here. I look forward to coming back.

Labor Day getaway in the Ozarks…read more Our first time in Branson... our first time in the Great State of Missouri together. The only other time I've been to MO was when my family watched my brother graduate from boot camp at Fort Leonard Wood in the mid 80's. This past Labor Day weekend we spent some time in Branson. We stayed at the WorldMark resorts -- home away from home. I was not sure what was there to do in Branson but I was amazed at the many billboards we passed by heading into Branson. It is said to be famous for its role in the entertainment industry and it is home to nearly 50 theaters offering hundreds of shows! Whoa, whaaa?! I love shows! We had a busy itinerary but we were able to squeeze in "Legends in Concert" at the Dick Clark's American Bandstand Theater. The shows are enough to keep me entertained during this vacation but Branson also has several theme parks, three major lakes, attractions, restaurants, and shopping venues... check out the cool fountain show at Branson Landing on your next trip. With so many things to see and do in Branson it's no wonder that the area attracts so many visitors each year. Looking forward to another Ozarks getaway soon! Review #1956

You all made it so easy to spend the entire day there, from the gorgeous getting ready spaces to the final send-off - and everything in between.

We are so impressed with all of the love and care you have invested into the property making it a better experience for the couples and their guests with each adjustment! The venue was even better the day we used it than it was when we booked it! Thank you to the staff for helping us navigate rain and keep everything on time and running smoothly - especially the end of night scramble to beat the storm. We really could not be more grateful.

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.

Shortly before we were scheduled to start, Dave pulled up with the guests from the previous tour. They were excited from their trip and each of them had fully caught their limit. At their request, Dave cleaned and filleted their fish for them and they left extremely happy. We were excited to start as well! Dave did a fantastic job, very courteous and helpful. We didn't have to worry about anything. He had rods for us and made sure that we were always able to keep a line in the water. He answered any questions we had and was a true professional. Both of us were easily able to hit our limit even with catch and release for a while! We can't recommend him highly enough!
