Looking to help people have an honest review of this place so you know what you're paying for! We had a two bedroom unit with a kitchenette. I would say overall, if you are someone looking to just have a place to sleep and not spend much time while being a tourist, this place could work for you. If you want a really nice, really clean, updated accommodation with great amenities this is not the place for you. Positives: Staff were friendly and responsive; quiet area and off the main path of Branson, close to the highway; the bed we slept in was comfortable but if you like a firmer mattress you wouldn't like it. Every time we called for something we needed--toilet paper, dishwasher pod, garbage bags--the staff responded quickly. Right off the bat the garbage disposal unit was leaking and the maintenance staff took care of it as soon as they could get a new one. The kitchen sink faucet leaked when turned on a certain way, they thought they had fixed it but it kept doing it--we just used paper towel to dry it up when needed but it could use to be replaced. Refrigerator was clean, microwave clean and newer, oven was clean and stove was clean. Had a 12 cup coffee pot but they do not provide filters--they only provide 4 single coffee pods on the day you arrive. Negatives: the unit itself is dated and needs fresh paint and a really good cleaning of base boards and walls; ceiling fans in both bedrooms were dirty with dust on the blades; each room has it's own window unit for heating a cooling and seemed to do the job but not able to get a congruent temperature throughout the whole unit; all the furniture in our unit was outdated, multiple pieces had paint chipping off; the couch had a couple holes in the fabric; the living room chair legs looked like they could pop off any second; living room table was very wobbly; 2 of the kitchen chairs had a rip in the seat; the blender did not have the top to cover the hole and needed to be cleaned before use, had food on it still; the bed spreads were not soft and a lot of pilling; trash under the beds-- it appeared the vacuuming was not done well, a penny was on the floor by the window and it wasn't ours; the carpets have not been cleaned in quite some time and are very thin; the windows go almost to the floor with blinds that aren't great--some broken ones that leave open holes, luckily there is black coating on the outside of the windows since the beds are right next to the window; some curtains would help with the light coming through in the morning for those that would like to keep it darker. Our unit was right next to the pool, it wasn't open yet but I can imagine when it is it wouldn't be as quiet right there and it would feel like you didn't have much privacy with all the people coming and going to the pool. There is a door in each bedroom and the main sitting area which makes it feel less private. The kitchen had minimal items--utensils, a couple bowls, one cutting board, a good set of pots and a couple

Beds were terrible. The room next to us we could hear everything they were talking about. Outdated. Water pressure was great. Plenty of room and they were clean. Probably won't stay here again. Kitchen was ok, stove, microwave, and fridge.
