About this house rental
Welcome to Ivanhoe Place, a historic treasure located at the MoPac railstop in downtown Hollister, Mo. This charming 1920s home, named after Sir Walter Scott's novel, is a delightful blend of Hollister history and modern comforts. The original owners, Mr. & Mrs. Johnson, were a powerhouse couple who significantly contributed to Hollister's development, including the construction of Downing Street and the introduction of the Iron Mountain railway. Their love for literature inspired the naming of this 1-story, 1-bedroom, 1-bath home and its surrounding land.
As you step inside, you'll be greeted by a hand-laid stone fireplace, the centerpiece of the cottage-themed interior that pays homage to the making of Hollister and the building of the railroad. The chef-style open kitchen will not disappoint. The exterior of the property continues the uniqueness with hand-laid local rock retaining walls that line the patio nestled in the hillside. Here, you can enjoy the view of the railroad while feeling tucked into nature, providing a perfect blend of history and tranquility.
Staying at Ivanhoe Place is more than just a vacation; it's an immersive journey into Hollister's rich history, a comfortable retreat with modern amenities, and a unique opportunity to create unforgettable memories. Book your stay at Ivanhoe Place today and step into a piece of Hollister's history. This home has a king suite and 2 full-size mobile mattresses to accommodate sleeping up to 4 guests.

Bath sink drain slow. Dead plants in outdoor containers need to be removed.

Loved it very much!
10.0 / 10.0
Traveled with my wife and 2 and 5 year old. They had a blast exploring the outside of the property. Lots of fireflies, frogs, worms, and water to mess around with. Nothing negative I can say about the property and stay. Just know this property is next to the train tracks, so the train will come by. The train comes on a schedule, so the kids would always run outside to watch it come by. Property is great access to all attractions without feeling in the middle of the city.
10.0 / 10.0
A really open place on a secluded road. Nicely furnished and comfortable. Great access to Branson Landing and the shows. We would stay again. Very quiet except for the train once or twice a night.

Ivanhoe Place, a place we picked purely by luck I might add, was the most perfect place to stay for our first time ever visit to Branson. It was six minutes from the house to downtown Branson and about twelve minutes to the theater district.
Rent Branson was a fantastic place to rent from. They quickly took care of any concerns, questions, and were very proactive asking us if we needed anything. You couldn't have a better company to work with.
We would 100% stay in this home again! A+++++ on everything!

I love this property, it made me fall in love with the little town of Hollister. I didn't realize that it was so close to Branson Landing. I left my husband and child without a car and they were able to walk to explore the historic Downing Street, FleaMarket and city parks.
10.0 / 10.0
Loved Ivanhoe Place! Had a little trouble staying warm on cold nights but still a great stay. Great location, great amenities, amazing architecture and furnishings. Will be staying again. One suggestion, make it pet free. It's impossible to remove all signs of pets.
10.0 / 10.0
Loved the updated farmhouse style home set in a hillside woodland location. Location was quite beautiful - secluded at the end of the street in Hollister, Mo. Within a short 5-10 minute drive to College of the Ozarks and Branson. King size bed was very comfortable. Living and Dining area was spacious and very nice for reading and watching the large tv. Another TV was in the bedroom. Kitchen had all modern appliances and was well equipped for cooking and eating. There is a set of railroad tracks downslope from the house. Rail traffic was infrequent though horn from train could be easily heard. Historic Hollister is a very short walk- a few restaurants with good food, flea market type store and a Casey’s gas station. We really did like the property for the more remote woodsy location. We have recommended the property to some from our family for a future trip to Branson.
10.0 / 10.0
We arrived at the Ivanhoe Place to celebrate our 35th anniversary.Beautiful cottage, very clean and well equipped with plenty of space. Extremely comfortable bed and the kitchen equiped with everything we needed. The history and personal touches like a anniversary card and cupcakes left for us were a nice suprise. It is located close to everything but feels sucluded and private. The porches and home were beautiful.
