Follow the country road as it winds down through wooded hills, and you'll find yourself in a hidden hollow where time seems to slow and nature takes the lead. From birdsong at sunrise to the soft glow of fireflies at night, every moment here feels like a gentle reminder to pause and breathe. ​​​​​​​This cozy studio cottage adapts beautifully to your getaway — whether you're planning a romantic retreat for two 💑, a mindful solo escape 🌿, or a peaceful hideaway with a little one 👶. Inside, warm rustic touches and soft lighting create an inviting atmosphere. The open layout features a queen bed 🛏️, a fold-out loveseat 🛋️, and an electric fireplace 🔥 that adds both warmth and ambiance. The fully equipped galley kitchen 🍳 and dining table make it easy to share simple meals or morning coffee, while the newly added hot tub ✨ is perfect for unwinding beneath the stars. Step outside and let the setting do the rest — sip coffee on the covered porch ☕, wander along the creekside path 🌳, or gather by the shared fire pit under the canopy of trees. The gentle murmur of the creek and the filtered light through the forest turn even the simplest moments into something restorative. 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 local favorites like The Hop 🍔, Las Casitas 🌮, and Red White & BBQ 🍖 — perfect for when you'd rather savor a hidden gem. 🎟️ As a guest of Thousand Hills Vacations, you'll also enjoy FREE show tickets to top Branson attractions plus exclusive discounts on golf at Thousand Hills Golf Resort ⛳ — perks that make your stay even more memorable. This cottage is also small dog-friendly 🐶 (with approval and fee), so your four-legged companion can come along too. Whether you're here for romance, reflection, or simply a quiet reset in nature, Natalie's Nest is a peaceful retreat designed to help you recharge, reconnect, and return home renewed. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🏡 PROPERTY OVERVIEW - Our tiny, boutique cottages, ranging from 400 to 600 square feet, are thoughtfully designed to give you just what you need for a relaxing, memorable stay. ✦ ✦ Open studio layout with rustic charm and calming décor 🌿 ✦ ✦ Queen bed + fold-out loveseat 🛏️🛋️ ✦ ✦ Covered porch with woodland and creekside views 🌲 ✦ ✦ New hot tub ✨ for evening relaxation ✦ ✦ Electric fireplace heater for warmth and ambiance 🔥 ✦ ✦ Shared fire pit and creekside seating areas ✦ ✦ Self-check-in with keypad entry 🔐 ✦ ✦ Free Show Tickets — see details below 🎟️ ✦ ✦ Discounts on Thousand Hills Golf — see details below ⛳ ✦ ✦ Small dog welcome with prior approval and fee 🐾 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎟️ FREE SHOW TICKETS + EXCLUSIVE GOLF ⛳ DISCOUNTS As a guest of Thousand Hills Vacations, you'll enjoy access to amazing perks during your stay: ✦ ✦ One set of FREE tickets to your choice of 30+ Branson shows and attractions 🎫 ✦ ✦ Access to deeply discounted tickets for additional shows, museums & adventures 🎟️🖼️🎢 ✦ ✦ Special guest rates at Thousand Hills Golf Resort — one of Branson's best ⛳🏌️‍♂️ ✦ ✦ Tickets available for pickup at check-in or sent digitally for convenience 📩💬 We highly recommend booking show tickets and tee times early — popular options sell out fast!

I did not receive a code to check in and then we had no cell service. Then when we got the code, the door would not open. They called maintenance and the maintenance guy was very rude and very unprofessional. He was talking down to my husband and was making hateful comments. The manager was notified. ##### Kelli M.
