The open living space features a fully equipped kitchen, a generous dining area for 8–10 guests, and a convenient laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer. The lower level has two queen beds and a full bathroom with a clawfoot tub (no shower), making it a great space for kids with the pinball machine nearby.

Outdoor living is a highlight, with multiple spaces to unwind and take in the lake views. Enjoy evenings by the fire pit, relax in the hot tub, or settle into the screened-in porch overlooking the water. Ideally located just minutes from dining and shopping, under 10 minutes from downtown Branson and Branson Landing, and a short drive to premier golf courses, the home sits only 15 feet from the shoreline of Lake Taneycomo. While the lake is not suitable for swimming due to its current, it is perfect for kayaking, boating, and world-class trout fishing.

The property was beautiful, clean, and well kept. There was plenty of space, dishes, towels, trash bags, dish washer pods… sometimes I have found that places do not provide you enough of those. The boat doc was perfect, and the view from the back deck was beautiful! I can’t say enough wonderful things about this place! Perfect!!!

Another Good Stay

Have used this house twice for our annual fishing trip to Taneycomo. Great location and great dock. Steep walkway down to dock could really use a railing, that is my only complaint on this place.

Great location, comfortable beds, nicely renovated property with a beautiful view of the river. Inside welcome manual with instructions for TV’s and WiFi need updating, towels were crusty and need replacing as well as some of the pots and pans but other than that a great property that we would rent again.

Great trip

Great property! Quiet and well taken care of as well! Clean and great location. Quick response from the owner to getting supplies needed. The only downside were the stairs leading down to the dock were not well maintained and despite cones set out would recommend blocking entry until fixed. Overall would recommend and stay again.

Nice place for a trout fishing weekend.

We stayed for an extended weekend for trout fishing. Great location and easy access directly to the dock on the property, the boat ramp in the community nearby, and not too far from the hatchery below the dam. It handled 5 of us just fine and there was lots of space. I would stay here again!

Beautiful Home

We stayed at the house back in 2023 and liked it so much that we booked it again for 2024. The house is easy to find, clean, and very well accommodating. The only downside to this property is the 5 pm check-in time and the lack of basic kitchen essentials/ condiments I have often found in other VRBOs, but there is a grocery store 5 minutes away, so no major problem.

Great Location for Lake Trip

We have visited the Branson area multiple times, but this is the first time we have stayed in Hollister. We enjoyed being closer to attractions like Top of the Rock. We visited new places to eat in Hollister. We brought our boat and there was plenty of room out front for the boat and trailer. No issues at all pulling in or getting out. We thought the trip to the Table Rock Lake boat ramp was pretty easy to do from the house. There was more than enough space in the house for our family of five. The family enjoyed the outdoor fire pit and hot tub .
