I came with my family and my brother’s family and between us we had 7 teenagers, an 8 year old and 2 young adults. We had plenty of room to gather on the porch or around the fire pit. We brought hammocks and hung them around the back yard. We rented a boat at Kings River Marina and anchored in the cove whenever we needed to exchange passengers or restock. The house is beautiful. Every bed and piece of furniture is comfortable. The house was well stocked with basics including great shampoo and conditioner. We had all of the kids in the basement and they were so happy to have their own space. We will definitely be back!

The property is beautiful. Our entire group was comfortable and had a wonderful time. The house is right on the water, where we were able to put in our Paddleboards. Though rocky, it was conveniently located. The fire pit was a popular hang out and the host graciously provided enough firewood to ensure s’mores could be made all weekend. There were some small adjustments we had to make to ensure our stay was comfortable. The coffee maker there was a kurug that had a refillable insert without the lid… so coffee without grounds in it was impossible to make. Furthermore, with a group our size “morning coffee” would have lasted until late afternoon had we not gone back home and brought our own coffee maker. There was only one kitchen towel and some of the linens that were on the beds came with stains on them. Again, we were able to make adjustments to make everyone comfortable. With it raining for most of our stay, it was really nice to have a smart TV, where movies could play in the background. All in all, very minor updates would make this property even more of an escape than it already was. We still give it 5 stars and plan to book the property again, knowing what to expect when we do.

Our family of 10 ages 2-64 enjoined a lovely New Years weekend at the Lakefront Octogon home. There was more than enough room for everyone to have their own space, but also the perfect size when we all wanted to spend time together. The grandchildren loved the outdoor fire pit and walking to the lake to skip rocks. The house was beautifully maintained and response time with Kris was exceptional.

We had 18 family members get together for fun, food and games. This house is arranged in a manner allowing separate groups or enabled all of us to plan some table games together. The kids loved the bunk room allowing the adults to have their privacy. The fire pit was perfect for toasting marshmallows and drinking hot chocolate. We had a couple of questions and the owner we quick to respond. He was very helpful and eager to do so. This place is gorgeous, I highly recommend it for large families .

A wonderful time was had by all staying at the octagon cottage. We had 12 ladies and the cottage was very spacious and appropriately accommodated all us is for a 3 night stay. We loved the view and really enjoyed the firepit and outdoor spaces. We would definitely come back!

The property was so nice. You could see the lake from the house and the house was beautiful just like the pictures

The property is beautifully situated right on the lake in a residential neighborhood. The cabin is a bit further from Branson than we had anticipated, but the ~40 minute drive is along beautiful winding roads, so we did not mind. The cabin layout is great for a few couples to stay comfortably, and the outside space is hard to beat! The downstairs area has a good amount of square footage that could be better utilized with a pool table or similar. Great property; and very well taken care of!

Our stay couldn’t have been better! This was the first time in years we were able to have a quiet, kid-free weekend, and the Octagon House didn’t disappoint. We enjoyed fires in the fire pit each night and all the activities that Table Rock lake has to offer. Like many have said in previous reviews, the photos don’t do this house justice. Waking up each morning to the AWESOME scenery was a treat as well. Kris was a great host, and we will be back for many years to come!

when we arrived, the smoke alarm was chirping with "low battery". The smoke alarm was too high for me to reach. After I called Kris, he interrupted his business day and drove an hour with his ladder to change the battery. I would call that great customer service. I was impressed with the trim level of the bath rooms. My previous experience with lake rentals were adequate. But Octagon Cottage was a pleasant surprise

Gorgeous home! Beautifully decorated. Comfy mattresses. Plenty of room to spread out both outside and in. Had the best time with our large group!

Family vacation. The house was great everyone was comfortable. It was close to the grocery store marina in about 45 minutes from Silver Dollar city. I would rent that place again everyone loved it.

Beautifully updated home. Beds were comfortable and blackstone was nice to cook on. The lake was beautiful and we fished and swam from the shoreline, but you must be careful climbing down the hill. Beautiful large deck and nice fire pit to enjoy. A nice, quiet family getaway.

The house was wonderful and worked great for our 3 families (16 people) We are mostly adults and big teens and the space was big enough. The style of the house was very nice and relaxing. The porches were great too! We were tempted to just stay and chill on the porch and deck instead of going out for the day. Thanks for a wonderful place to vacation!

We loved the house. It was beautiful and had the perfect amount of space for our large family. Kris is very quick to respond if you have any questions or concerns. We forgot a baby gate and they had one thank goodness. We used the Blackstone every night to cook on. Loved it.

This place is GORGEOUS! We had 6 adults and 4 children. The large windows in the main living room give way to a beautiful view. The 3 main bedrooms were all spacious and the beds are so cozy. Plenty of closet space and loads of warm, fuzzy blankets. The 4th bedroom was perfect for the kids with the bunk beds. The kitchen has every amenity you could need, as well as a Blackstone grill and a Green Egg on the main balcony to use. We cooked every day on them, great for making large breakfasts for everyone. The patio furniture was perfect for coffee first thing and relaxing in the afternoon with an amazing view as well. Bathrooms are ultra modern and very nice. The fire pit was the perfect place to end the day, making smores and telling stories. It is located close enough to all attractions so we didn't feel like we were in the car all day. The owners were very quick to answer any questions(by phone/text) and were very helpful. All of us were extremely impressed with the house and we are already talking about next year's vacay when we checked out. On a scale of 1-10, we all give it a 15, lol. We will definitely be back. The memories we made will last a lifetime!

What a beautiful place to escape to! It was really spacious and had plenty of room for the six of us. The views of the lake were gorgeous, and the patio was a nice place to sit and relax. Everything was fresh and clean and we felt very comfortable.
