We stayed at the Branson Meadows July 2-5, 2026. This is our favorite hotel in Branson and we try…read moreto reserve here anytime we plan to visit and rooms are available. We always recommend the hotel to others who ask us, even strangers, though we tongue-in-cheek say to please not try to reserve on a date we plan to go to avoid the hotel not having a room when we need it. :) Of course, joking aside, the hotel is wonderful. The personnel are phenomenal. We have had the blessing and opportunity to meet several of them and they all seem to genuinely care about the guest and the guest experience. Personnel to be expected could include John, Grace, TJ, and manager Steve are always making sure things are going properly. There are others who take care of their duties and guests but we have not learned their names. Making reservations is easy whether by the Choice Hotels website or by calling the hotel directly. The telephone on weekdays is usually answered by TJ who helpfully cares for the needs and preferences, and provide the best cost available based on the guest's possibilities. Even if TJ is not the person answering we hav found everyone to be helpful in requests. The hotel is always clean including the rooms, hallways, breakfast room, restrooms. There are four floors including the main floor. There is an elevator that has always operated properly when we have visits and is clean. Room service related to new towels and those necessary items are provided as requested. Christina manages the hospitality areas. You can request a regular full service and that is done at no additional cost. The other option is to indicate on a hanging card what and how many of various items (bath towels, hand towels, washcloth, hand soap, tp, facial tissues, etc.) and they place them all in a large plastic bag, tied, and placed outside the room door. You can place your used towels outside the room door and they quickly pick them up for your convenience. We have found this way to actually work out well as no need to fuss about the room as no one will be entering. Sound level is what would be expected in a hotel of this type. The rooms are pretty quiet. We don't normally hear anything except periodically when a family with running children come in and run down the halls, but that is usually only a few moments and then quiet again. This is especially good for those needing a quiet place to rest during the day, and for those who need to work in their room. The only thing I need to comment on, especially since I previously mentioned the family friendly nature of the canned soft drink machines in the building, the price has been raised to $2.00 per can, so not as family friendly as before though s nice variety is still available and convenient. The machines only take cash but the front desk can assist with that if needed. They also have a frozen product machine with items such as ice cream sandwiches and similar novelties for about $4.00 and $5.00 each. There is a free breakfast provided that includes items such as scrambled eggs, white gravy, biscuits, hard boiled eggs, cereals, waffles you make in the machine, bacon on some days while ham on other days, and many other items. There is pretty much something for everyone and cared for by breakfast manager Christine and her staff. There is a parcel of land right next to the hotel, about large enough for another building, but the hotel makes use of it like a park. There is a gravel walking track around the park. Inside the park are a few seating options as well as a horseshoe setup. Recently they installed a covered area and four picnic tables that makes a nice area for eating, relaxing, not normally found at a hotel. It is well cared for, along wth the inside needs of the buildiing by maintenance manager David. Parking is asphalt, well lit, very nice and feeling of security, and there always seems to be enough parking even when they are fully booked. If you have an electric vehicle, they do have three chargers available. On this particular visit, we found out something that may be useful for you to know. As I was checking in, TJ and David were talking about their anniversaries and then said they didn't to bother me with their anniversaries and I mention, well, interestingly it is our anniversary so I am in with the conversation. About an hour later we hears a know at the door and Christina was there holding a silver tray with a silver bucket filled with ice and a nice large bottle of sparkling cider. She said it as for our anniversary and, if they had known about it when we made our reservations, they usually decorate the room prior to arrival. So, if you are going to be at the hotel on your anniversary, and you want to enjoy some free sparkling cider and have a nicely decorated room, let them know when you make your reservation. We can't comment on what the decorations might be since they did not know in time to do our room but we are sure it would be nice based on Christina's detail attention.

Good: 1. is affordable, during the week. 2. Staff is helpful and kind. 3. Hot tub was working,…read moreas promised. Pool area is clean. 4. Off the main drag so one doesn't have to deal with all of THAT traffic. Easy access to a number of notable Branson tourist spots, such as Silver Dollar City, St. James Winery, Titanic Museum without having to get in the traffic mix. 5. Shower head in bathroom was awesome! 6. Pool table/game area was a nice addition for our 13 year old grandson. Bad: 1. Breakfast was AWFUL! We even arrived during the "green light" designation/early in the morning....and it was bad! No working waffle maker, limited cereal and fruit choices, powered eggs swimming in liquid. We travel all over the U.S. and have eaten at many a hotel breakfast. This was by farrrrrrrrrrrrrr the worst. We headed to Billy Gail's for breakfast during the rest of our stay. Thankfully, it was just over a half mile away. 2. THEE ELEVEATOR! Just from a safety standpoint....I am shocked that a hotel of this size can get away with only one elevator moving at a snail's pace. Add cleaning crews moving carts via the elevator, and you'll be lucky to fit another person or two into the moving albatross. I had just had knee surgery, so the stairs weren't an option...if you stay here, pack your patience with regards to the elevator. 3. This is an older hotel. It shows its wear and tear. A renovation is needed. 4. We were consistently promised that the gift shop could easily get us tickets WITHOUT advance notice. We repeatedly asked about our needs and were reassured it wasn't a big deal. The day we decided to go to the Titantic museum....we went to the gift shop to buy our tickets. They had apparently sold out of their "allotted tickets" for the day....and we were there during the week. THANKFULLY, we were able to walk up to the ticket counter, at the museum, and get tickets for the day...but, I wasn't happy about the whole experience. Weigh the good with the bad....I did research for MONTHS to find the perfect place for us and our grandson. I prioritized our needs and booked this place. IF I ever go back, with a grandkid, during the summer...this place would be a 50/50 for me.

Staying at Camp Long Creek at Big Cedar Lodge was such a memorable experience and the perfect mix…read moreof luxury and nature. From the moment we arrived, the property felt peaceful, secluded, and absolutely beautiful, with breathtaking views of Table Rock Lake all around us. The scenery alone made the stay feel special. Our accommodations at Long Creek were cozy, spacious, and beautifully designed. I loved how it had that upscale cabin feel--rustic and charming while still feeling comfortable and modern. The bed was very comfortable, the space felt clean and inviting, and waking up to the quiet lake atmosphere was incredibly relaxing. One of the best parts of staying at Long Creek was the privacy. It felt more peaceful than the main lodge, making it perfect if you want a quiet getaway while still having access to all the amazing amenities at Big Cedar. The pool area was gorgeous and relaxing, and being so close to the marina made lake activities super convenient. Whether you're traveling as a couple, with family, or even for a group trip, there's plenty to enjoy. Guests often highlight the privacy and scenic setting as major perks.

But there's not a free continental breakfast which was a little disappointing. There are places to eat at but they're kinda expensive. There are different names of lodges and the one we stayed at was seemed like it needs a few updates? There's a cool place for kids called Fun Mountain. A few things are included with your stay but others are not free. Along the property, there are many pools and a swim beach, mini golf, pickle ball, shuffle board and beach volley ball. It is a huge place and there are shuttles. It can be confusing at first. They gave a gift shop of course with a lot of stuff to see. You can go on paddle boats or kayak too.

We were all pretty worried when we pulled up to this one because it really looked kind of raggedy. But once we got inside, the rooms are huge and we had a suite which was fantastic! Giant bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub and hot, hot water, comfy beds, and pillows, and a lot of space in the living area. Nice surprise! Decent breakfast every morning, except that the gravy was really weird. And the toaster did didn't really toast your bread unless you sent it through a couple of times. But as if in order to make up for that, they serve warm cobbler, cookies, and ice cream every evening

I have stayed at Savannah House in Branson on several occasions over the past 10 to 12 years. I've…read morealways had a very good experience from top to bottom. I reserved the room through booking.com. At check-in, I was told that there would be a $100 hold on my credit card that I used to secure the room but that it would be taken off of my bill at checkout. I was momentarily taken aback by hearing that as that had never happened before while staying at Savannah House. I agreed to the terms though because by check-in time I would not have been entitled to a refund. I will let booking.com know that this needs to be made aware to customers. The clerk said booking.com does not explain that as part of their terms when reserving a room. Also, when I entered the lobby I was about the 10th person in line. About five or six people came in not long after I entered, so the line became quite long and there was only one clerk to take care of all those check-in procedures. He was very kind and mannerly, but it was completely unfair for one person to have to do that alone, especially on a holiday weekend. The room is clean and pretty and the mattress is very comfortable. I have always enjoyed the breakfast here and I'm looking forward to it tomorrow morning. The view from the front entrance is stunning. I will return to Savannah House in the future but I will not deal with any kind of online reservation service. I'll contact the hotel personally, even if the rate is higher. The long line at check-in is the only problem I had directly with the hotel, but I can't give it a five star rating because the hotel admin should have been better prepared.
