Nestled in Ridgedale, this lovely house for $1,326 per night is a great option for your next trip. There’s only one Highland Retreat… and you’ve found it! Welcome to the ultimate laidback-meets-luxury retreat for up to 24 guests in Branson. The magic starts with the view: magnificent vistas of Table Rock Lake from two sprawling decks, plus comfy outdoor living and dining areas for taking in the view. Just add burgers from the gas grill, a coffee from the Keurig, or a glass of wine from one of Branson’s vineyards. Next, the perks: your own private, heated indoor pool and spa. Yep, you read right—an indoor pool you don’t have to share with someone else’s kids! If your kids do want to make new friends, you also have access to the neighborhood outdoor swimming pool (with waterslide) a short walk away, along with a splash pad and pickleball court. The neighborhood indoor swimming pool is just two streets over. Then there’s the interior design: inspired by our love of Scotland and a vision of a Modern Castle on the banks of the lake in the Ozark highlands. 😍 And lastly, that indescribable “something.” Our guest Austin sums it up well: “Words don’t describe how relaxing this place is.” All we know is... the worries you bring to Highland Retreat don’t stick around for long. Get comfy in one of 6 bedrooms, each with a king bed and its own en-suite bath. Designed for families, 4 of the 6 bedrooms have both king-size beds and luxury sofa beds for the kiddos or teens. Or pile in with friends to relive your slumber party days. On a rainy day (or just a relaxing one), queue up a movie in the home theater or play a round of pool. The Family Room also has 2 more sofa beds to round out the sleeping space. From the convenience of a washer/dryer to baby items and board games, every detail is curated for a cut-above vacation experience. >> OUR NEIGHBORHOOD Simply around the corner from State Park Marina and no more than 25 minutes from practically anywhere else you want to go in the Branson area, this vacation home is the perfect base to chill out at during your vacation. Our community of Branson Cove is right off Hwy. 265, giving you easy access to the traffic relief routes to move about the Branson area easily. >> SWIMMING POOLS, PLAYGROUND, PICKLEBALL COURT Yes, plural is correct -- there are two pools in the neighborhood that you have access to! Both the heated indoor pool and the outdoor swimming pool are a quick walk from the front door, plus the outdoor pool has a super-fun water slide that will shoot you (or Uncle Pete) out like a cannon. The kiddo's playground is on the other side of the outdoor pool and the pickleball court is next to to the outdoor pool. The path to the lake and a small park with fire pit and picnic tables is at the corner of the neighborhood. You could not be in a more perfect spot for your vacation!
