About this cabin rental

Cody's Cabins has been in business in the Branson area for over 18 years. We have 7 different cabins to choose from. From a 1 bedroom to a 5 bedroom, we can accommodate your needs! (See all our listing numbers below)

If you are attending a concert at the new THUNDER RIDGE NATURE ARENA, you can walk the mile to the arena and stay out of the traffic. (Some up and down hills is necessary, but better than the traffic.)

Wilderness Retreat Lodge is a beautiful true log home nestled in the beautiful Ozark mountains and can provide a wonderful “Home away from Home” for your family! You will never want to stay in a motel again. A ramp will take you to the large front porch where 2 rocking chairs are waiting for you to rock your cares away. For the early risers, this is the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee as the sun greets a new day.

As you enter the front door, prepare to be awed by the breathtaking great room! The soaring cathedral ceiling, the wood burning fireplace, the well equipped kitchen including a large dining table, and the comfy living room area all cry out “Welcome home!” . A flat screen HDTV along with a DVD/VHS player are ready for you in the living room. Lots of movies are provided for your enjoyment. Wireless internet and cable TV are provided for you. A bookcase holds a large assortment of books and there are plenty of quiet places to get away by yourself and enjoy them. Two full size sofas (one is a sofa bed) and a large recliner are located in front of the wood burning fireplace and the TV.
I know you can’t wait to explore and it is hard to know where to start. Two master suites are located on each side of the great room. Both have wonderful, enormous, log, king sized beds with pillowtop Simmons Beautyrest mattresses . All bedrooms have flat screen HDTVs and DVD/VHS players. Both these bedrooms have huge en-suite baths with double sinks, jetted tubs, and a large separate shower. A desk and chair are provided in the Moose room. Each bedroom has a doorway to the huge deck. There is also a doorway to the deck from the great room.
On the deck you will find a gas grill, patio table and several chairs. (Remember, I promised quiet places to enjoy a book.) The deck has a restful view of the quiet Ozark woods. Don’t be surprised to see wildlife. We have seen turkeys, deer, and a variety of small critters.
Back inside it is time to go downstairs to continue the exploration. Step into the game room and say “Wow!“ The quote on the wall says “You don’t stop playing because you grow old; you grow old because you stop playing.” This room promotes youth--at all ages!! Fun is what it is all about! Charles dreamed of owning a pool table all his life and here it is! And what a beauty it is! Next you will notice the air hockey table. We never knew how much fun air hockey could be! On the wall is another flat screen TV and DVD/VHS player. Check out the games- some board games and some DVD games. Lots of fun! A sleeper sofa and a comfy recliner are in the game room for the spectators. Some of our favorite movie posters add to the décor of this room. Maybe your favorite will be there.
But wait--not done yet… Off the game room are two more bedrooms. One is Americana themed (check out pictures of our service oriented family) and has a king sized bed. The other room is just plain fun--it is cowboy themed and has a Queen sized bed AND a set of bunk beds! Both bedrooms have HDTVs, DVD/VHS players and access to the lower patio.
A door leads off the game room to the lower patio also. Here you will find another patio table and a charcoal grill. You will also find one of our favorite spots--a porch swing! Don't forget to enjoy the firepit for those chilly evenings or for making smores.
Also, in the backyard-- you will find a luxurious- private 6 person hot tub! Super great for sore muscles after a long day at Silver Dollar City!

Off the game room, you will also find a full bath with a tub/shower and across the room is another full bath with a large shower. An ample sized utility room with a super capacity washer and dryer is found on this level as well. Iron and ironing board available. Don’t take home dirty clothes!

Back to the kitchen, we have tried to provide all the basics and some extras. There are lots of dishes, glasses, pots and pans, silverware, utensils, as well as a coffee maker AND a Keurig, a blender, mixer, crockpot, griddle, large roaster, waffle-maker, and toaster. Some spices, sugar and cream are available.

This home is truly an exceptional place to gather and we know your family or group will love it as we do. You’uns come on in and sit a spell. We’re waiting for you at the Wilderness Retreat Cabin!
C’mon over! You’ll be glad you came!!

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

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!

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!!

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!

We loved this cabin! It was very clean, well stocked, everything was labeled. There is a book with recommendations to shows, restaurants, etc. It's a quiet neighborhood which we liked and enjoyed the hot tub!

There was little things that could have been better but overall good stay. The knives in the kitchen were very dull. The hot tub ground has shifted causing it to spill over when you enter. The filter for the fridge was bad. The light bulbs were an ecliptic mix of different shades of white in every fixture.
