    → Ask us about our ✨ BFR Rewards program



    There’s only one Highland Retreat… and you’ve found it! Welcome to the ultimate laidback-meets-luxury retreat for up to 24 guests in Branson.



    The magic starts with the view: magnificent vistas of Table Rock Lake from two sprawling decks, plus comfy outdoor living and dining areas for taking in the view.



    Just add burgers from the gas grill, a coffee from the Keurig, or a glass of wine from one of Branson’s vineyards.



    Next, the perks: your own private, indoor pool and spa. Yep, you read right—an indoor pool you don’t have to share with someone else’s kids!



    If your kids do want to make new friends, you also have access to the neighborhood outdoor swimming pool (with waterslide) a short walk away, along with a splash pad and pickleball court. The neighborhood indoor swimming pool is just two streets over.



    Then there’s the interior design: inspired by our love of Scotland and a vision of a Modern Castle on the banks of the lake in the Ozark highlands. 😍



    And lastly, that indescribable “something.” Our guest Austin sums it up well: “Words don’t describe how relaxing this place is.”



    All we know is... the worries you bring to Highland Retreat don’t stick around for long.



    Get comfy in one of 6 bedrooms, each with a king bed and its own en-suite bath.



    Designed for families, 4 of the 6 bedrooms have both king-size beds and luxury sofa beds for the kiddos or teens. Or pile in with friends to relive your slumber party days.



    On a rainy day (or just a relaxing one), queue up a movie in the home theater or play a round of pool. The Family Room also has 2 more sofa beds to round out the sleeping space.



    From the convenience of a washer/dryer to baby items and board games, every detail is curated for a cut-above vacation experience.

    OUR NEIGHBORHOOD



    Only 2 minutes to Table Rock Lake and 10 minutes to the Strip, plus no more than 25 minutes from practically anywhere else you want to go in the Branson area, this vacation home is the perfect base to chill out at during your vacation.



    Our community of Branson Cove is right off Hwy. 265, and next to the State Park Marina, giving you easy access to the traffic relief routes to move about the Branson area easily.



    ------------



    SWIMMING POOLS, PLAYGROUND, PICKLEBALL COURT, PATH TO LAKE



    Yes, plural is correct -- there are two pools in the neighborhood that you have access to! Both the heated indoor pool and the outdoor swimming pool are a quick walk from the front door, plus the outdoor pool has a super fun water slide and a kids splash area.



    The kiddo's playground and the pickleball court are next to the outdoor pool.



    The path to the lake is at the bottom corner of the neighborhood. The trailhead is a little steep, but then it's an easy downhill trek to a quiet cove you may splash, wade, and fish in.



    You could not be in a more perfect spot for your vacation! See the neighborhood photo with locations marked, and how close you are to all the amenities!

House was clean and ready to go - we got a text that it would be ready early so we were able to get in a couple of hours before normal check-in time. Indoor pool was great. The hot tub doesn't have water jets to get the full effect of a hot tub, but it was nice to have a hot tub, and right next to the pool. View of the lake was great.

Family Vacation

We found this house to be perfect for our family. The rooms were spacious and all the en-suite bathrooms were great! We had small children and the pool was perfect to entertain them in the evenings, with plenty of beach towels to use. The kitchen was fully stocked and the two refrigerators were very useful! The only negative was the dishwasher didn’t clean well! We spent a lot of time on the large deck and the view was hard to beat! This house was in a great location and not too far from anything we wanted to do. Overall, our stay was great and I would highly recommend Highland Retreat and would definitely stay there again.

Amazing house!

Our group of girls had an amazing time staying at the Highland Retreat this past fall. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms and bathrooms had more than enough space! Everything was very clean and they had everything we needed (kitchen, pool area, pillows, etc) and the views from the patio are amazing. I would absolutely stay here again!

Great place for a large family!

This house was easy to get to and close to all the activities that we wanted to do. The double washers and dryers were especially nice as well as the double refrigerators. It was just as listed and we had absolutely no issues. My only recommendation would be to take your baby gates for the 2 stairways if you have crawlers/toddlers

Amazing Branson Getaway

Our family had an AMAZING time in Branson in this home. Absolutely every moment was enjoyed by everyone. The indoor pool and hot tub made for water fun that was enjoyed by everyone. The home theater was a hit every night as the family watched movies before bedtime. Everyone loved the large bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. The views from the back decks were amazing and the community pool and pickle ball courts were a big hit as well. The central location to everything Branson was a huge plus. Highly recommended for your next Branson Getaway.

We had a wonderful stay at Highland Retreat. It was the perfect floor plan for a large family and our grandchildren absolutely loved the theater room and indoor pool! A huge bonus for us were the comfortable beds! Our son-in-laws have already requested we come back for our 2025 family vacation. I am also impressed with Nat and Tyann’s dedication and generosity to CASA. I have been a CASA volunteer for 14 years and I know firsthand how important the Court Appointed Special Advocates are to the children in foster care!

Our family had a great time at Table Rock Lake!

The house that we rented through Branson Family Retreats was perfect for our large family! All the adults had their own bedroom/bathroom with plenty of room on the pullout sleepers for the kids. We especially enjoyed spending time on the large deck overlooking the lake. There was ample seating in the kitchen when we shared a meal together but we were also close to many great restaurants when dining out. We took full advantage of the pool and pickleball courts. Tyann and Nat were very welcoming. They even brought us donuts on our first night! We high recommend Branson Family Retreats for your next vacation!

Great place.

Everything you need is about 10 to 15 minutes away. Walmart, target, grocery stores, etc. House was equipped with everything we needed. Fully equipped with the basics which made for an easy first night before we hit the stores the next morning for supplies. Rooms are spacious. Bathrooms are clean. Towels and bedding were a little stained but theyre all white so i know how that goes. Pool was great. Had a litfle problem with the heating but it was fixed right away. Overall, great experience. Great place to stay. View was amazing as well. 10/10 would recommend.

The property was clean and accurately represented in photos. The surroundings were well maintained and felt safe. The community pool was easily accessible and not crowded. My favorite amenity of the home was having a bathroom in each bedroom. A main floor “house bathroom” would have been ideal, but there is one downstairs which is helpful if you’re using the pool. There were plenty of dishes available to prepare and enjoy meals. Provisions such as trash bags, paper towels, toilet paper were very convenient upon arrival. Only suggestion for improvement would be an outdoor TV and accessible electrical outlet on the deck. The hosts were very attentive and have gone through a lot of effort to provide travelers with information in an easy access travel guide. We used it several time throughout our stay for finding nearby restaurants and grocery. It was a very peaceful and relaxing vacation. We would come again.

Our family just experienced a perfect vacation and get away at Highland Retreat. Before we booked we looked at their site and thought the photos were amazing. Could a house really fit all of our diverse needs and expectations? I am happy to say that it did!All my family thought the beds were amazing. My brother ( a nurse) who rarely sleeps more that 5 hours at a stretch , had two 8 hour sleep marathons. He said he never felt so rested.The pool was used everyday and my grandson who especially had the time of his life. My son who drives for UPS and is usually sore all over , jacuzzied daily reported that it really did help relax those sore muscles away.The view which is breath taking allowed a time for all of us to reconnect on the deck and play cards and talk about our daily adventures. Highland Retreat is just a skip and a hop from all major attractions and we were able to enjoy the Top of the Rock golf cart ride and museum, Titanic museum, The Dolly Partin Stampede and the singing group Sixes. We also had plenty time for each family to do their own adventures which included fishing and shopping. We were able to go in April so the weather was great and and the traffic very light.Communication with Nat, Tyann and the staff was seamless They helped in getting our event tickets for the nine in our group. I highly recommend Highland Retreat for any family event you might be planning!

We had so much fun and the home is beautiful!!!!!

We had a wonderful time! Lots of space for generations of family! There are at least two bedroom on every floor and pull out couches downstairs too! The upstairs has a beautiful catwalk to a private porch/deck! The kitchen and dining room are huge and very clean and well equipped! We actually ate most meals outside on the huge porch on the main level! Two large tables to fit everyone!!! It was great! Indoor pool at the house was like bath water! So relaxing! And we spent quite a bit of time at the outdoor community pool too! A short distance and super fun for the kids! They have a fun slide! We ended our trip with a late movie night and popcorn in the theater room! The sound was amazing! So much fun this week! Thank you for having us and making all the wonderful memories possible! We will definitely be back!

Highland Retreat house was more than we ever anticipated! Opening the front door for the first time took our breath away. We walked around the home in awe of what was provided. Everything was provided for a restful stay- the beds were so comfy, and sitting out on the decks so calming! Three generations of our family enjoyed their time there, even the littlest ones.
