*This special Mini is only available for last minute stays. If you'd like to book a future stay, please see the listing for the whole house. Your own private mini-lodge for up to 6 people plus dogs, Mini Claymore provides all the greatest hits of a Branson getaway, plus some unexpected extras. Start the day with a coffee on one of two covered decks and take in lovely sunrise views of Table Rock Lake and the neighborhood. Then go for a cooling mid-day dip in the private heated container pool on the lower deck—complete with a glass front for Mermaid photoshoots. Even better? Because it’s heated, you can use it year-round. This feature is unique to Branson Family Retreats—you’ll find it only here and at our neighboring Thistle Cottage. Depending on the weather: - Summer temperature is 84-86 degrees (roughly end of May to mid September) - Rest of the year the temperature is 97-99 degrees for your stay (mid September until mid/end of May) Your group will love having 2 deluxe bedroom suites on the main level, both with king-size beds, luxurious sheets, and their own attached baths. Sleep an additional two people on the king size lux sofa sleeper in the family room. The accessible main level (including an accessible bedroom + bathroom with grab bars and transition shower), combined with a ramp for easy Cottage access, means everyone in your family can join the fun. NOTE: This home has 3 additional bedrooms and 3 baths on the lower level, which are not included in this listing and will be unoccupied and locked off during your stay. If you would like to add the 3 beds/baths to your reservation, please see our listing for the entire Claymore Cottage. If you’re visiting outside of summer—a great choice; the off-season is lovely!—pile onto the caramel leather sofas around the stone gas fireplace in the Great Room and share stories over cocktails or hot cocoa. Send your kids (or husbands) to the family room for a game of pool or a movie and tell the stories you skip when they’re around. ~ At dinner time, the kitchen is a dream to cook in. It’s well-equipped with appliances both large and small, and a roomy center island allows for easy prep work. **Please note that if you use any of the bedrooms or bathrooms not included in the Mini listing, you will be responsible for an additional cleaning fee of $200 plus up to $100 per bedroom/bathroom per night. <<<------------>>> OUR NEIGHBORHOOD Up a sending road from a public boat lunch and sweet cove to play in and no more than 35 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.
