The pictures do not due justice to this home. Beautiful is an understatement. The attention to detail is great. The house is well stocked. Our family of 13 found everything very we could have hoped for, kids had their own area.On a hot summer day sitting on the dock with the cool Taneycomo breeze is very nice. I liked drinking coffee in the morning sitting by the lake as the fog rises to meet you. Wonderful!

My wife and I have stayed in many places and this lodge was by far the best place we’ve rented. The natural setting, furnishings, amenities and hosts were the absolutely the best. I would give a higher rating but 5 stars is the best. Did I mention the hosts? Roni and Ralph were so gracious in every way. Even left a surprise to help celebrate my 70th birthday. The lodge has such a warm family vibe as soon as you walk through the door you can tell there have been many many memories made there. Despite having choices of things to do in Branson we opted to remain on property for most of our stay. We caught multiple trout right from the dock, more than when we rented a pontoon at Liley’s Landing. The lodge is impressive in structure, design and has something for everyone. I could go on but the description and amenities list is accurate so book it! You won’t regret it.

If you’re looking for that private getaway with top notch amenities, this is the place! Spacious rooms, true “lodge like” environment, large backyard, all right on the water. Don’t hesitate to book your next family vacation here!

This was by far the best stay we’ve ever had at a VRBO. I can’t recommend this house enough, for large families there is something for everyone from games, kayaks, fishing, ect…. The house is beautiful, clean and a great location!!!

Think of a log cabin in the woods. Peaceful, beautiful and comfortable. The house and view was breathtaking. We played games, grilled fish caught off the dock, had a fire in the firepit, soaked and relaxed in the hottub and just breathed. The only kind of negative thing because of my knee problems, was the toilets are very very low. But a quick trip to the store fixed that. Also, the front door is very hard to open. Needs a new handle, but you can enter through the garage. We absolutely will be going back. The owners are wonderful people and kept in contact with us to make sure we were all taken care of. They even had a huge platter of cookies for us when we arrived.

Now that was a picture perfect getaway. The Great Trout Lodge was truly a dream come true and a one of a kind lake house. From the spacious rooms to the massive living and dining room, getting the family together would be a breeze. We had a blast playing all the table games there. From the pool table, to foosball to ping pong to my favorite... air hockey. Let's not forget the arcade games. But the cream of the crop, was definitely the walk out to the double boat dock. Once you walk past the massive hot tub and the fish pond, you find a one of a kind view of Lake Taneycomo. The fire pit made for a picturesque place to chill while the boat dock offered plenty of room to tan and fish. We are already planning our next trip to the lodge with the family. This is the spot to book, you won't be disappointed.

Our recent Company Retreat to the Great Trout Lodge was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the comfort and amenities this property had to offer. Each room boasted incredibly comfortable beds, ensuring a restful night's sleep for all in our group with room to spare. The chef's kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to prepare our meals throughout our stay, making cooking a breeze. The breathtaking view of the lake from the window was a highlight of our experience. It truly felt like we were transported to another world, offering a serene backdrop to our time together. The hot tub was a favorite among our team, providing relaxation and rejuvenation after a day of meetings and activities. With space to park two pontoons in the slip, we were able to explore the lake at our leisure. At night, the firepit was where we all gathered to tell stories and was just an awesome experience. The spacious dock became the heart of our retreat offering ample room for all of us to gather comfortably. We spent countless hours enjoying the beautiful surroundings and bonding as a team. The game room in the garage was a hit as well, providing endless entertainment with foosball, arcade games and ping pong. A huge thank you to the hosts for providing such an exceptional experience. We cannot recommend it highly enough. We are already planning our next visit and can't wait to create more unforgettable memories. We'll be back soon! JT
