Whistle’s Echo | Sweeping Ozark Views, 5 Mins to SDC

Welcome to Whistle’s Echo at Notch Estates, your peaceful mountaintop escape just minutes from the excitement of Silver Dollar City. Perched on the top floor of a quiet corner building, this cozy condo is all about the views—breathtaking, south-facing vistas of the Ozark Mountains stretch out before you from the expansive private deck. And if you listen closely, you’ll hear the whistle of the Silver Dollar City steam train echoing across the ridgeline—it’s the kind of moment you won’t soon forget.

Inside, you’ll find:
• Two comfortable queen bedrooms with Smart TVs and ceiling fans
• A split floor plan for added privacy
• Two full bathrooms, including a private ensuite for the primary bedroom
• Full kitchen with bar seating for four and all the essentials
• Vaulted ceilings and lots of natural light
• Living room with a sleeper sofa, two recliners, and HDTV
• Laundry closet with washer and dryer (detergent included)

Outside:
• Huge private deck with sweeping Ozark Mountain views
• Quiet end-unit setting with no neighbors above
• One flight of covered exterior stairs from the parking lot
• Walkable to two seasonal pools, basketball, a playground, and hiking trails
• Picnic areas with grills and a scenic catch-and-release pond

It’s a perfect basecamp for families, couples, or anyone looking to slow down, take in the view, and enjoy Branson’s best attractions just minutes away. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the deck, playing cards as the sun sets, or listening for that distant train whistle, Whistle’s Echo is a place to make memories.

Perfect location & atmosphere

We stayed for a softball tournament. This was the perfect location giving us opportunities to explore but also being close to both softball facilities. We enjoyed the pools as well as the pavilions and used them for team dinners and gatherings. We will definitely return if in Branson again.

Great Little Getaway!

My wife and I just wanted some time away and found that at A Notch Above. The condo is as described, and the responsiveness of the host was perfect. This place is great to look out over the mountains from the deck and is just a short drive to all the activities we wanted. Thank you! We look forward to returning soon.
