Will stay again. Love how quaint and peaceful it is. Close to the lights and sounds of Brason yet feels very far away. Also, loved watching the Polar Express go by😊

Great spot for railfans or those that enjoy historic places. Family friendly set up. The layout is set up well for a small space with the common area being functional for eating together and playing games. Great outdoor spaces. Lots of steps to get to one cabin while the other has ramp access. Historic downtown Hollister is within walking distance and so is the city park.

We loved our stay at Camp Johnson. It is such a unique house and so interesting to read about it’s history. The house has been remodeled beautifully and the decor is gorgeous and the bathroom built into the mountain is so unique. We loved being so close to Branson but outside of the chaos. The nearby little town of Hollister is so cute and built like an Old English village. Just beware if you have mobility issues, this isn’t the house for you due to a lot of stairs, but we wouldn’t hesitate to rent it again.
