From the moment you arrive, you'll be surrounded by peaceful trees, the gentle sound of a babbling creek 💧, and the charm of your own covered porch — perfect for sipping morning coffee ☕ or relaxing under twinkling lights as the sun sets. Inside, thoughtful details create a warm and welcoming space — from vintage-inspired décor and soft lighting to a cozy layout that's romantic enough for two 💑 yet spacious enough for a family. Relax in the hot tub ✨, swing on the porch, or curl up with a good book before heading out for lake adventures 🚤 or a scenic drive into Branson. While this retreat feels worlds away, Branson's live shows 🎭, shopping 🛍️, dining, and lake adventures 🚤 are just a scenic 30-minute drive through the Ozarks. Even closer, you'll find charming local favorites like The Hop 🍔, Las Casitas 🌮, and Red White & BBQ 🍖 — making it easy to enjoy both hidden gems and big attractions during your stay. This cottage is also small dog-friendly 🐶 (with approval and fee), so your furry friend can come along too.

However, the heater wasn't the best and the air flow not the greatest either. We were cold sleeping at night, even with keeping the bedroom doors open to allow some air flow. I asked for a space heater, but none could be provided. I suggest having a couple readily available or upgrade the installed heater and having it lowered since hot air rises, and it is placed up high. Also suggest upgrading the microwave to a newer model. ##### Meredith M. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ---
