Private Indoor Pool/Spa, Dog-Friendly, Accessible | Highland Retreat

Find that vacation feeling:

1. 🌼 Spring special: book for arrival between March 23 - April 30 and get up to $500 off when you stay 3+ nights

2. Free attraction 🎟️ tickets with every stay! (Silver Dollar City, The Haygoods, Lost Canyon Cave, and more)

3. Ask us about our ✨ BFR Rewards program

There’s only one Highland Retreat… and you’ve found it! Welcome to the ultimate laidback-meets-luxury retreat for up to 24 guests in Branson.

The magic starts with the view: magnificent vistas of Table Rock Lake from two sprawling decks, plus comfy outdoor living and dining areas for taking in the view.

Just add burgers from the gas grill, a coffee from the Keurig, or a glass of wine from one of Branson’s vineyards.

Next, the perks: your own private, indoor pool and spa. Yep, you read right—an indoor pool you don’t have to share with someone else’s kids!

If your kids do want to make new friends, you also have access to the neighborhood outdoor swimming pool (with waterslide) a short walk away, along with a splash pad and pickleball court. The neighborhood indoor swimming pool is just two streets over.

Then there’s the interior design: inspired by our love of Scotland and a vision of a Modern Castle on the banks of the lake in the Ozark highlands. 😍

And lastly, that indescribable “something.” Our guest Austin sums it up well: “Words don’t describe how relaxing this place is.”

All we know is... the worries you bring to Highland Retreat don’t stick around for long.

Get comfy in one of 6 bedrooms, each with a king bed and its own en-suite bath.

Designed for families, 4 of the 6 bedrooms have both king-size beds and luxury sofa beds for the kiddos or teens. Or pile in with friends to relive your slumber party days.

On a rainy day (or just a relaxing one), queue up a movie in the home theater or play a round of pool. The Family Room also has 2 more sofa beds to round out the sleeping space.

From the convenience of a washer/dryer to baby items and board games, every detail is curated for a cut-above vacation experience.

OUR NEIGHBORHOOD

Only 2 minutes to Table Rock Lake and 10 minutes to the Strip, plus no more than 25 minutes from practically anywhere else you want to go in the Branson area, this vacation home is the perfect base to chill out at during your vacation.

Our community of Branson Cove is right off Hwy. 265, and next to the State Park Marina, giving you easy access to the traffic relief routes to move about the Branson area easily.

------------

SWIMMING POOLS, PLAYGROUND, PICKLEBALL COURT, PATH TO LAKE

Yes, plural is correct -- there are two pools in the neighborhood that you have access to! Both the heated indoor pool and the outdoor swimming pool are a quick walk from the front door, plus the outdoor pool has a super fun water slide and a kids splash area.

The kiddo's playground and the pickleball court are next to the outdoor pool.

The path to the lake is at the bottom corner of the neighborhood. The trailhead is a little steep, but then it's an easy downhill trek to a quiet cove you may splash, wade, and fish in.

You could not be in a more perfect spot for your vacation! See the neighborhood photo with locations marked, and how close you are to all the amenities!

Great place.
Everything you need is about 10 to 15 minutes away. Walmart, target, grocery stores, etc. House was equipped with everything we needed. Fully equipped with the basics which made for an easy first night before we hit the stores the next morning for supplies. Rooms are spacious. Bathrooms are clean. Towels and bedding were a little stained but theyre all white so i know how that goes. Pool was great. Had a litfle problem with the heating but it was fixed right away. Overall, great experience. Great place to stay. View was amazing as well. 10/10 would recommend.

Great place for a large family!
This house was easy to get to and close to all the activities that we wanted to do. The double washers and dryers were especially nice as well as the double refrigerators. It was just as listed and we had absolutely no issues. My only recommendation would be to take your baby gates for the 2 stairways if you have crawlers/toddlers

Amazing Branson Getaway
Our family had an AMAZING time in Branson in this home. Absolutely every moment was enjoyed by everyone. The indoor pool and hot tub made for water fun that was enjoyed by everyone. The home theater was a hit every night as the family watched movies before bedtime. Everyone loved the large bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. The views from the back decks were amazing and the community pool and pickle ball courts were a big hit as well. The central location to everything Branson was a huge plus. Highly recommended for your next Branson Getaway.

The house was really nice and convenient for all our family. Its great that all rooms have king bed and there own bathrooms, really convenient and comfortable for everyone. The hostess were always there to answer our question and very quickly as well. Unfortunately the pool turn off and we had cold water and we didn’t get to use it as much since we had little ones other then that our stay was great and would definitely consider it for our next stay.

Beautiful and spacious Home.
We had a great time here. The view is gorgeous. The house is new and clean. We all enjoyed being able to sit down for meals together - all 18 of us, in the house or on the deck. We like it that the rooms have their own bathrooms. Our grandkids love the indoor pools, and the theatre. Great to have the pool table in the rec area. Would be nice to have a little more parking space in front of the house. However, that is not a game changer. Highly recommend.

cleanliness and dog friendly
When we arrived, all three floors had dried drywall compound everywhere, on the floors, Kitchen cabinets, furniture. Apparently the day before they had all the lights bulbs changed which resulted in very bright rooms. Adding dimmer switches would be very helpful. The pool was too cold to swim in along with the Jacuzzi. both of which were dirty. The pool had a ring that appeared to be suntan oil from the previous tenants. When they install grass in the yard it will be dog friendly. They did reimburse us for the pool rental portion and the cleaning fee. I understand the challenges businesses are faced with today, however, we paid good money for this experience and we couldn't even use the pool.

We had a group of 15 of all ages stay in this beautiful home for one week. It was the perfect set up! Everyone had their own space and bathroom! The kids spent most of their time on the bottom level either in the pool, playing pool, or watching their favorite shows. The rest of us spent time together on the main level visiting at the large tables or watching a movie while some were working in the spacious kitchen! The kitchen was very well stocked with cooking utensils! We only needed to supply the food! Stunning views! So much fun out on the decks! Many many memories made!! Thank you for providing the space!
