    9 Spectacular Branson Vacation Rentals For A Family Vacation

    William Stupp
    August 10, 2022

    A family-friendly vacation spot like no other, Branson, Missouri, is a great location for family members of all ages to enjoy each other’s company. The purported Live Music Capital of the Universe, Branson has an entertainment culture that rivals those of the country’s biggest cities. Spectacle awaits around every corner.

    Videos by TravelAwaits

    More than anything, Branson is famous as a hub for music and shows. These come in a number of forms but generally feature a lively mix of music, dancing, and exciting stagecraft. But the fun of Branson isn’t confined to its theaters. There are a great many other joy-inducing diversions, from the thrill rides of Silver Dollar City to the delightful eateries and shops of the downtown area.

    There is not enough space here to mention (let alone describe) half of Branson’s fabulous attractions. Even if these paragraphs were instead an unpunctuated list of the area’s waterparks, arcades, unique venues, and amusement parks, a great number would be left out. 

    What’s more, Branson is near enough to several worthwhile cities in Missouri and neighboring Arkansas so as to make day trips an attractive option for guests staying more than a few nights. Particularly popular during the holiday season, Branson is an evergreen getaway spot, catering to everyone who enjoys good entertainment.

    Discover for yourself the magic that has made Branson a household name. To facilitate your next trip, here is a list of nine Vrbo vacation rentals in Branson.

    Red Cedar Cabin On Table Rock Lake$303/nightly avg

    Branson affords families many opportunities for fun. There are the shows, the music, the creative attractions designed for children (and the young at heart). Stay at this lovely modern cabin rental and another less spoken about activity comes to the fore: spending quality time at Table Rock Lake.

    Only a short, private path separates the cabin from this cherished swimming (and boating) hole. But this is no out-of-the-way shed. It’s a stylish construction just a few miles from all of Branson’s signature attractions. Superb location aside, the home boasts a gorgeous living room with ample windows and a spacious deck with views of the lake.

    In terms of facilities, the home has four bathrooms (two with jacuzzi bathtubs) and four bedrooms (two kings, a queen, and a room with two bunk beds).

    Nice place on Table Rock Lake with a nice area to swim in the lake. We had a great time.
    Our family really enjoyed the house during our vacation to Branson. It’s in a nice area on the lake and just minutes from restaurants and entertainment in Branson.
    Overall it was a nice property. You can tell it has been rented a lot and does need some minor maintenance done to it if they want to get it back up to 5 stars. Great location by lake and close to downtown.
    The location of the cabin was very lovely . Loved the lake view . The house was spacious and accommodated our family well. However, the big deck was an eyesore. It needed a fresh coat of paint, and new outdoor patio furniture, and sliding glass doors The patio umbrella was missing a spoke . The upstairs bathroom had a broken light fixture . The furniture was worn and old. I think it’s important when you go on vacation to feel like you are at a very special place . These minor changes can change your vacation spot from subpar to great .
    Advertised information was accurate. We enjoyed our stay.

    Staycation Lodge Downtown$1,299/nightly avg

    Whether you’re planning a once-in-a-generation family reunion or a slightly humbler get-together with those nearest and dearest, this incredible 8,000-square-foot lodge is the best way for a large group to enjoy the innumerable delights of Branson.

    The city itself has pastimes and activities for guests of all ages — and so does this home. There’s a whole array of arcade games, plus pool (of the swimming and eightball sort), a home theater furnished with fine leather sofas, and a full indoor basketball court.

    When any of those get old, enjoy the delights of the Branson Strip or the dozens of unique attractions to the west. Though it sleeps up to 50 guests, the home is in no way a flophouse. There are a full 12 rooms with king beds and spacious areas for dining, play, and relaxation.

    This property was exactly as pictured and described. It was absolutely perfect for our family’s vacation needs this year! We had a multigenerational group of 20 that ranged in age of 9 months up to 73, the house layout was very accommodating for all ages with plenty of room to spare. There are two sets of stairs on the main level so you may want to think ahead about baby gates if you’re bringing babies on your trip. The kitchen was stocked with an abundance of dinnerware, flatware, pots/pans, anything a large group would need. We cooked the majority of our meals during the week and never found a time that the house didn’t already have what we needed. They are very quick to respond to questions or to assist with anything you need. They also reached out several times to make sure we were enjoying our stay and to check if we needed anything.The community was very busy with other guests but it was still quiet and family friendly.We rented boats for the week from State Park Marina which was a short drive from the house and their boats and service are always top notch.We would definitely choose this property again in the future and have nothing but great things to say when asked about our stay!
    We hosted mom’s 80th birthday party at this spacious and well equipped home. It was perfect for our family, which included 25 adults, 5 kids and 2 infants. So many fun activities throughout the house, the kids played volleyball and basketball in the gym, splashed in the pool, the twenty-something’s played pool, soaked in the hot tub and had space to themselves. We played cards, played games, visited, watched football and movies in the theater room and had a wonderful party! This is the perfect space for a family or large group gathering with lots of age groups!The property managers were attentive and reached out to see if we had questions, and came by the house promptly when we needed assistance. Wonderful vacation!
    This house had it all, and kept the kids and adults all busy for the week we stayed! The pool, basketball court, arcade (just one of the games didn’t work, which is pretty usual when renting places with these types of games) and theater were all awesome. The only issues we had was upon arrival the home was not cleaned properly from the previous guests, which was taken care of after after the cleaning crew was called back. Then there was an ant issue which got into some of our unopened food which needed to be thrown out, and all the food had to be removed from the kitchen until the bug guy could come and spray on Monday (we arrived on Saturday). The property managers were very responsive which is good, and the house has all the space and entertainment you could ever need.
    A year ago, we rented a “little gem” in this same sub division. As it was amazing, and we didn’t THINK it could get better….. IT DID. This Staycation Property was ABSOLUTELY the best yet. We had everything we could ever want RIGHT HERE. We played basketball, video games, watched movies, played cards and went swimming…. ALL WITHOUT leaving the house. I hate writing this review too positive, for fear that someone will pick my dates before I do for next year…. but we ARE coming back. This has been the best one yet. Thank you to rentbranson.com and VRBO for an amazing Staycation!
    Perfect for multi day meetings. All team members had their own bedroom with restroom. Lots of space to be together but not crammed in a meeting room. We took advantage of of the large kitchen to prepare our meals and met at various locations throughout the property. (Deck, theatre for zoom calls, kitchen, etc). Total 5 star property!

    Hidden Wonderland$465/nightly avg

    Surrounded by green hills and forests, this 7-acre property house rental has the look of an upscale rural home. But in reality, it’s in the heart of Branson, no more than a few miles from all the area’s hotspots and attractions. Enjoy the benefits of privacy and breathing room that only come with a large plot of land.

    When not on the tourist trail, guests can stay home and appreciate quiet time at the private pool or not-so-quiet time by playing billiards, air hockey, or one of several arcade games. The home has five king bedrooms, and each bed is a beautiful wooden product of an expert craftsmen. A sixth bedroom is fitted with queen and twin beds.

    Other perks include a six-person hot tub, full basketball court, home theater, and unique decorations highlighting the local bodies of water.

    My whole family loved this home. We played all the games and used all the amminities. Outside and inside. It was perfect for our family and we were not bothering anyone else. No one could hear us! My family is picky! Did not disappoint at all! So close to everything we did! Thank you! We will be back!
    If I could have rated this property with 10 stars I would have because it is just that good. Total seclusion right in the heart of Branson. Everything worked and was in good order. We want to come back when we can stay longer and use the pool. Highly recommend.
    It was nice and easy.
    Had a great weekend in Branson. The house was beautiful. Kids enjoyed the theater room and game room.
    We had a wonderful week! This house has it all! Beds for everyone! Large well-stocked kitchen, washer and dryer on both floors. Media room, pool, hot tub, arcade games, air hockey, and pool table! Huge closets and 4 bedrooms have an extra daybed/trundle. Easy to access, literally just off the strip but nestled back in a wooded area! Also a basketball half court and fire pit!

    The Cozy Cottonwood Cabin$203/nightly avg

    If you do plan on filling all those bunks, you’ll be sure to appreciate the home’s child-friendly amenities, such as the game room complete with pool table, television, and a set of arcade games. The home is on a hill in a quiet neighborhood, so you can enjoy views from the deck while grilling your evening meal.

    Great amount of space and everything was super clean and very well taken care of.
    Very impressed. Roomy, clean, quiet neighborhood, modern-very up to date appliances. Game room was great for younger people or a man cave. For a large group it’s perfect.
    This was the perfect home for a large group. Very spacious and open floorplan. Perfect for entertaining. Comfy beds a place for everyone to hang out. Game room was so much fun…my grand girls had a great time in there. Not one but two nice sized decks and even though we were just a few minutes from everything Branson has to offer it was so quiet and peaceful. Would recommend this place to anyone traveling with a large group/family.
    This home is everything you could want! The location is right next to everything you want to do in Branson without any of the traffic or noise. The brand new house is very clean and has plenty of pillows and blankets on the comfy beds. We loved that there were multiple “Master Bedrooms” all with Kings beds and bathrooms. The kids and adults all had fun playing in the game room at night. We will definitely be back and always staying at The Cozy Cottonwood Cabin!
    My side of the family recently stayed comfortably in this house. There were 8 adults and 6 children. We were so impressed with the cleanliness and roominess of the home. The garage turned into a game room was a hit with the kids…as was the bunk room! There was plenty of seats for eating, and having 2 covered decks was a nice bonus. The beds were new and incredibly comfortable. And the location is fantastic. You are close to everything on the strip, but you don’t feel like it when you are there. The house backs up to woods and is on a quiet street. If coming back to Branson, we would definitely stay here again!

    Lakehouse With Fishing Dock$295/nightly avg

    Situated on the southern shore of the western arm of Lake Taneycomo, this splendid home has the feeling of a somewhat secluded lakehouse. But, in actuality, it’s just a short drive from the many attractions on the north side of the lake. This far west, the lake is more of a lazy river, ideal for fishing or simply admiring the water. The bridge to Branson Landing is less than a mile away.

    Comfortably furnished with three bedrooms and spacious common areas, this is a great place for families keen on rural surroundings to stay in Branson. As a bonus, the home has a grill and smoker just waiting to cook freshly caught trout.

    The Huff House$445/nightly avg

    Located in downtown, this 2,000-square-foot vacation home is great for families looking to stay in the thick of it to explore Branson. The city has so much to offer, so it pays to stay downtown and not waste any time getting around. This home is close to the restaurants, shopping, and entertainment of Branson Landing a short drive away from the attractions found further west.

    There’s plenty of room to prepare family meals on the kitchen’s stone countertops and island on those dine-in days. Likewise, the formal dining area can accommodate large groups. The home sleeps up to 13 guests and has sufficient space and bathrooms to maintain a sense of order even with such a large crew. As an added bonus, guests can enjoy access to a large communal swimming pool.

    Clean, My only is is there was no washer & dryer on the premises. Excellent place to stay while we were in Branson to see “Jesus” at the sight and sound theatre. The house are extremely pleasant. We event went to visit there restaurant while in town. We would stay here again for a weekend trip.
    Loved the location and that each bedroom had a bath. The air was cool and everyone enjoyed the amenities. The cherry was an added bonus. Hope to do a girl’s trip soon with my cousins.
    We had a great time at this property and location. Proximity to Branson Landing made restaurants, shopping and entertainment very easy and quick. We didn’t even use the pool but it was a nice option to have. Lots of sleeping options and kitchen and dining room were beautiful. Very clean and safe property. Loved it!
    Great place and great location…..suggest washer and dryer
    was excellent

    Cabin At Branson Woods Resort$275/nightly avg

    Enjoy the amenities of a small resort from the comfort of this single-family cabin Branson rental. From the two king bedrooms on the main level (which come complete with couples’ sinks and jacuzzi bathtubs) to the upstairs bedrooms (also kings), the owners have designed this home to support the ideal family vacation.

    Each bedroom has its own bath to ensure privacy, but there’s also plenty of room to relax and socialize in the open-plan kitchen and the secondary living room upstairs.

    Outside the home, the resort has two pools and a hot tub and regularly hosts activities for children. The location is great as well, with multiple theaters within a 1-mile radius.

    Great experience.
    We had four different couples – the layout was perfect that each couple had their own king bed and bathroom. We had common space and personal space. Location was easy access to everything. The place was clean and airy. Cannot wait to go back.
    Everything you need to have an enjoyable trip to Branson. Cabin was perfect for our group of ladies. Clean and comfortable beds. Everyone said it was the best nights sleep they have had in a long time. Perfect location to shows and restaurants.
    I was very pleased with the accommodations. We had four couples, each couple had their own bedroom and bathroom. I do plan to come back again with family. It was priced reasonably.
    Cabin was as described. Comfortable with plenty of room for all. Four king bedrooms so everyone had private BR and bath. A minor maintenance issue was quickly remedied. Easy walk to all the resort had to offer. Took advantage of mini golf, pool, fire pits. We would definitely come back again.

    The Porch$385/nightly avg

    Mere minutes away from many of Branson Landing’s wide array of fun activities, this newly-built downtown home is ready to help small families discover the live music capital of the universe. Children will enjoy the home’s proximity to the games and multi-sensory adventures found in Arcade City, while adults will appreciate being able to walk to the landing’s shops and restaurants.

    To enjoy the theater district further west, simply pull the car out of the garage and set forth to be wowed by a show.

    The home is on the smaller side but is fancifully furnished with fine leather sofas and antique wooden tables. The Porch sleeps up to eight guests across a king bedroom, a queen, and a room with a full bunk bed.

    This property was just up the street from downtown Branson and close enough for an easy commute to and from the Branson Landing & Convention Center
    We had the best experience at this property. The owner was wonderful about communicating with us. When we got there we were surprised that he had provided a lot of supplies that we would normally have brought ourselves like toilet paper and paper towels etc. It was so convenient to everwhere we wanted to go. If we visit Branson again we would definitely stay at this property.
    I highly recommend staying at the Porch. First, the location was amazing! We were within walking distance to the landing, convention center, and so many great shops in downtown Branson. The place itself was so clean and perfect for our family. We had 4 adults and 3 kids. There were plenty of beds for us all and everyone slept great. May be the mom in me, but having a washer and dryer handy was a blessing! My family visits Branson on several occasions throughout the year and we typically stay on the other side of town. My daughter’s cheer competition brought us into downtown and I loved every minute of it. We will definitely be coming back for our future visits!
    It was great ,
    Wonderful place to stay very clean. Not far from Branson landing and downtown. Very quiet neighborhood.

    Bear Creek Cabin$250/nightly avg

    Perfect for a yuletide Branson vacation but charming all year round, Bear Creek Cabin is a rustic and relaxing way to enjoy the city. Located in a woodsy tract on the city’s outskirts, the cabin goes all in on homespun charms. From the river rock fireplace to the plush leather sofas, wooden fixtures, and old-timey bathroom wallpaper, it is every inch a cabin despite its suburban location.

    Everyone will appreciate the large beds (each is a king) and, if the little ones don’t want to share, there is a foldout bed in one of the living areas. The property is just 5 minutes from the waterpark and no more than 15 minutes from any of the area’s other attractions — Silver Dollar City included.

    Cabin was well stocked except for there was no toilet paper. Wasn’t a huge deal but wanted owner to know.
    I loved this cabin! It has a great location, very clean, and stocked with everything you need. The property owners were great with communication, I appreciated that!
    Owners have furnished their cabin with you in mind. Nice desk/chair in master for your luggage and a small wood chair to set dressing as well as loft. Nice bench in loft was very helpful.
    The house was beautiful and clean. Everything just like the description had stated. Communication with the owner was outstanding! We will be back. The location was great. Can’t thank the owners enough for such great accommodations
    Property was as listed. We had a little issue getting into the property, but got in and didn’t have any further issues. Owner was gracious enough to give us a late checkout and it was so refreshing to not have to do worry about a serious cleaning job. This place was so cozy! We’d love to return soon!
