• Tall Tree Retreat is better than advertised!

  5/5

  Tall Tree Retreat has all you could ask for in a Vacation Rental! Located on a substantial plot of land, it is the most secluded property we've rented, but still within convienent driving distance to all of the area's attractions. The owners thought of everything: Fully stocked kitchen including an air fryer, dual coffee maker (pods and traditional), pots, pans, cooking spices, a toaster, and more. In addition to the indoor gas fireplace, there are two fire pits on the property with all the firewood you'll ever need, even if you want to a enjoy a nightly fire (as we did, and we stayed for 9 nights). A S'mores kit is provided, and we took full advantage of it. The surrounding mountain/lake views from the balcony are breathtaking and the pictures do not fully capture the beauty. If you are a stargazer, I highly recommend laying on the lounge chairs in the evening. Tall Trees is far enough away from the city lights to see many stars you probably don't see from your own backyard. We caught a faint glimpse of the Milky Way cloud and several shooting stars.

  There is a bucket of Deer Food provided, and if you throw a few handfuls into the front lawn, there's a good chance you'll have a visit from a half-dozen deer every morning and evening.

  The beds are like the story of Goldilocks: not too firm, not too soft. I've never slept so well in any bed other than my own at any resort or rental property. By far, Tall Tree is the cleanest property we've ever rented, but if for some reason you want to sanitize it further, an impressive array of cleaning products is provided. The owners are very cordial and quick to respond to any cocerns you might have: We mentioned that we planned to have lots of "campfire nights", so they made sure the wood supply stayed fully stocked for our entire stay. The owners provide a list of recommended area activities: We visited every suggested location and enjoyed every one of them immensely.

  If you are planning to stay anywhere within 50 miles of the Branson area, Tall Tree Retreat is the place you want to be. We will definitely return.

  This place is like the description only better. They have a lot of extras that made our stay more enjoyable. They provided corn to feed the deer. We say deer every night. Check in was upper easy.

  My husband and I have enjoyed the Tall Tree properties on several occasions now and, once again, we were amazed by the loveliness of the setting, and the hospitality provided by the owners leaves nothing to be desired. We'll be back!

• Lovely getaway

  5/5

  My husband and I stayed here for three nights. The house is way nicer in person than the pictures, in my opinion. I was impressed when we got there. I will say it was a little tricky to find, and I don’t think a small car would do well driving to and from this house. It was on a very curvy, hilly dirt road. We rented a car at the airport and drove it here…. I booked the most basic car but they gave us an SUV… I am really glad we had the SUV. I think a small car would have had a hard time on the road there.

  The house was updated with newer appliances. It was very clean and decorated nicely. The hot tub on the porch was nice! There was also a bucket of corn to feed the deer. We loved feeding the deer and did it nightly!

  One thing I’m not sure of is how this house would sleep six people. It was fairly small and had two bedrooms. There was one couch. But I would say sleeping six people is a stretch. There were two beds. I think more than four people would have been crowded.

  I did receive a call from Lesha on the day of check in asking if we had any questions and she gave us some recommendations to do in the area. I appreciated that. There was also a binder at the house with information on the area and suggestions of things to do.

  The owners were available by phone while we were there. We had an issue with the hot tub that was resolved very quickly.

  Check out time is a very strict 10am! We left the house at 10:10 and the housekeeper was waiting for us to leave at the end of the driveway! I understand it needs to be cleaned before the next people come, but I don’t think I have ever dealt with such a strict check out time, especially because we had to start laundry and the dishwasher before leaving, and clean up after ourselves.

  Overall it was a great location and a very comfortable, well maintained home. I would stay here again and recommend it to others. Thank you so much Lesha and Bret!

• Great place enjoyed our stay!
