A Review from Two 20-Somethings
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 6/4/09
What we did was ask for the cheapest room available...$153 a night in early June weekdays. We recommend doing this because... we were rarely in the room, it's the amenities you are paying for. There was a lazy river where you could float on (and bring beer on), we had the most fun at the swimming hole (the newest and nicest of the pools). You will deal with a TON of families and kids. But if you are looking for a rustic getaway for a decent price, this is it. Bring your own beer, though they say you can't bring it into pool areas, lots of times there's no one to stop you. In fact, employees told us they just want you to have a good time. But... don't waste your money on an expensive cabin! If you don't have kids... or even if you do... there's so much to do here, you don't have to leave the resort (and why would you). Branson itself for people our age is cheesy, but this area is beautiful. Rent a boat, go horseback riding. We wish the Buzzard Bar was better... maybe on the lake or something, but it's the place to eat because it's the cheapest. Our 3 night stay with renting a boat and eating at least one meal a day there cost about 750.
