Just book it! A fabulous home and property. The owners though of everything. It is impeccably decorated, extremely clean and all in all a perfect home. There is nothing to be changed and nothing that could be improved. The patio with the hot tub and fire pit were perfect. The dock is a fishers paradise. There is no season this home wouldn't be perfect.I can only imagine what it looks like when the trees are turning or a good snowfall, and cool water in the summer. Like I said, just book it! You won't regret it!!!

Our family had a "cousin's reunion" at the property in Sept. 2025. The house was clean and well laid out. There are several places for small groups to gather and chat. We hung out for four days and fished, rented a boat from Lillie's that pulled up to the dock, and grilled and ate all our meals in the backyard. Great time. Great host.

This property is AMAZING! It truly exceeded the photos. Most rental property photos are pictures taken before any guests have rummaged through leaving a property a shadow of former best days. But not so with this listing. Hands down, the most supremely clean, wonderful, amazing cabin we have ever stayed in. (We have stayed in wonderful luxury cabins in Oklahoma and Colorado, but truly none compared to this.) It took a while to understand the flow of the river...ie...sometimes it is rolling swift like day one of our visit. But to our complete delight, the next two days were completely calm waters. And then the next day the water was rolling again. The view of the river was so calming, and the cold air off the water made the summer air easy to be around. Nightly, the canadian geese would fly through in formation over the water and dip their wings while soaring. The trout were so active in jumping out of the water. And two blue herring kept us captivated for an entire evening. Our Hosts maintained contact just to check in on us or to ask if we needed anything. It was nice to know that if we had needed help, they were just a call away. Again, we cannot say enough about how well this property is maintained. If you book this as your vacation destination, just know that you will not be disappointed in any way. You will be so happy you stayed here!!

We voted this our BEST family vacation ever. The house was amazing and fully equipped with everything we needed. Check in was easy and a nice surprise of cookies was waiting on the kitchen counter for us to enjoy the whole 4 days we were there. Questions and service was taken care of immediately for us. The fish were not biting there on Taneycomo, but we had a great time anyway. Lots of ping pong was played in the garage and we rented a pontoon for half a day on Tablerock. This house was furnished with so many games, ping pong, pool table, etc. and tv's in every room. We would highly recommend staying there to anyone and give it our highest rating possible. Thanks again to the owners and also their maintenance man for providing us with a great vacation. The Davis family of Wichita, KS

Amazing Location

Location is beautiful and convenient to everything we wanted to do in Branson. We fished off the dock and hired a trout guide one morning who picked us up at the dock. So convenient! Owners and property manager were quick to respond to any questions or issues we had. Overall very comfortable stay and private backyard while being close to activities in Branson.

Perfect Family Escape!

This is a fantastic home for a family get together. We had six adults and three children (9, 7 and 2). We had more than enough space. In fact, didn't use one whole bedroom or the bunk room. The space has every amenity one could want, plus activities galore - fishing, kayaking, billiards, table tennis, foosball, air hockey, table games, bicycling. Check-in was super easy and the host checked in on us via text during our stay to make sure there were no issues. 100% recommend The Great Trout Lodge!

Wow!! Gorgeous lodge with AMAZING views!

This property truly is AMAZING! The inside makes you feel like you’re in the Colorado Rockies and the outside is just as amazing!! There is so much this property offers for ALL ages. The toddlers LOVED the low windows where they could watch the outdoor activities, our young adults loved the kayaks and many games provided, us older adults loved the fishing, outdoor campfires and outdoor swings. But you know what everyone enjoyed most… those two huge double chairs overlooking the river. Views were spectacular…,deer drinking ant the rivers edge and geese floating the river. We’ve rented great homes in Colorado and Canada and this one topped them all. Ralph and Roni were so easy to work with, answering our every question within minutes. Definitely the best experience we’ve ever had. Oh! Did I mention the awesome holiday decorations both inside the home and outside! A huge hit for the entire family. Location couldn’t have been better either for all of our activities we had planned….Silver Dollar City, Dolly Parton Stampede, Sight & Sound Theater, and others. Thanks Ralph & Roni…..LOVED your home!
