The cabin is minutes away from Big Cedar and Top Of The Rock. The cabin is absolutely beautiful and spacious - everything we wanted. The kids loved the game room. My wife and I appreciate great customer service and the customer service of the folks that own the cabin is the best we've had with a VRBO. We hope to rent from them again.

Great venue for a family reunion. AC worked great--very important in July! Hot tub was enjoyed by many. The only area for improvement would be some better lighting. With all the wood grain on the walls and vaulted ceiling, any light from the ceiling fans and other lamps just gets lost. Not a big deal, but could really improve the atmosphere.Thanks for the great stay!!

Great location and clean cabin

It was spotless, and the host was not only very nice but also communicated well. The location was perfect—remote enough to feel like a getaway, yet close enough for DoorDash and UberEats delivery. Everything in the cabin was well maintained, and it was conveniently located near the Thunder Ridge venue for concerts

Nice and quiet

The location was so convenient as it was far enough away for some quiet but easy access to all of Branson. Lots of space for the whole family and morning coffee on the back deck was so nice and relaxing. The pool and splash pad was clean and great for the whole family. The owner gave the information plenty in advance and , when I thought I had lost the instructions, she replied within minutes to my email. Highly recommend!!

Absolutely beautiful!

Just returning home from our first family vacation in Missouri. We were so pleased with our cabin! It's decorated beautifully and with such a historical and person touch. Cleanliness...excellent! Every room makes you feel like you're in a wilderness retreat. Game room with the pool table and air hockey was such a hit with kids and adults. Lots of space and room with the 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Kitchen had everything we needed for our meals for 13. Pool and it's amenities...excellent!! The wilderness retreat has so many of "the details" right. It helped make our family time together priceless!

Family Vacation Perfection

We loved our stay at the Wilderness Retreat in Cody’s Cabins. The layout of the cabin was perfect for our family of six. The bedrooms were spread out so we were not right on top of each other, but we had a great space in the middle to all sit at and watch TV or hang out while playing games. Speaking of games, the air hockey table and billiards were a hit! Although the community pool, private hot tub, and jetted tubs in two bedrooms were also pretty remarkable. We had to pry my daughter out of her bedroom on the last day with tears of sadness that our time at the cabin was over. The Wilderness Retreat is the perfect distance from the attractions on the main strip in Branson proper. Definitely check out the Top of the Rock Golf Cart self tour. It is 5 minutes away and has breathtaking views! Boating at Cricket Creek in Omaha, Arkansas, is only 15 minutes away and they are so friendly and helpful! What an amazing vacation at a perfect location with a perfect setup!
