Reviewer Comments:
We stayed for a week at the end of July 2022 with 4 families (16 people). The location was excellent - about 20 minutes to everywhere in Branson and very close to Silver Dollar City. The cabin itself was pretty good but there are two significant issues with this location. First - the A/C unit at this cabin is woefully insufficient for the size of the cabin. The rental company knows this as the two upstairs bedrooms have portable units installed. Without these the upstairs bedrooms would easily get into the 90s when it is hot outside - which it obviously is in Branson during the summer. However, the basement bedrooms do not have portables and were so hot that we had to purchase extra fans and even then the rooms were uncomfortably hot at night. The main family room also gets very very warm during the day (even with us closing all the blinds, turning on ceiling fans, and keeping the exterior doors closed) - the thermostat was reading around 82 degrees at 7pm, then it would finally begin to cool off as the sun went down. I recognize that we were here during a very hot part of the summer but we travelled from an equally hot part of the Midwest and have never had issues this bad with either our own home or multiple other vacation rental homes. Not as troubling, but still annoying, is the size of the kitchen and refrigerator. Every other vacation rental we have stayed in that advertises it can house 16+ people has had two refrigerators - generally one in the main kitchen and one in a kitchenette in the lower level. The kitchen in this unit is very small (like apartment size galley kitchen) with one standard size fridge. With 16 people we were *barely* able to fit a weeks worth of food in the fridge and all drinks had to stay in coolers which was onerous to go get ice every day to keep beverages cold. Otherwise the house was nice - beds were comfortable, each bedroom has an on-suite which is nice when traveling with multiple families, kit
