🌿 Escape to the peaceful beauty of Max's Boathouse Bungalow, a cozy creekside studio tucked into a quiet Ozarks valley where wooded hills, flowing water, and relaxing comforts create the perfect setting for slowing down and reconnecting.

✨ Guests also enjoy newly added seasonal outdoor 🏖️ pool access located just 0.1 mi away — an easy walk from the cottage and perfect for sunny Ozarks afternoons. ☀️

Spend your mornings sipping coffee on the covered porch ☕🌲, enjoy peaceful evenings beside the Solo fire pit beneath the stars ✨, or gather around the shared creekside seating areas surrounded by nature. While wonderfully secluded, you'll still be within easy driving distance of Dogwood Canyon Nature Park 🌿, Thunder Ridge Nature Arena 🎶, Table Rock Lake 🚤, and Branson attractions 🎭, shopping 🛍️, dining, and entertainment.

The cabin was exactly as expected: cozy and peaceful. The two restaurants in Blue Eye were a bonus to staying at this location. There are several great activities within 25 minutes that are related to nature and the outdoors while also being close to the hustle and bustle of Branson. We would defiantly stay here again.

A well-appointed and cozy home with an exceptionally comfortable bed. We loved relaxing out back with a morning coffee while listening to the babbling stream. The jacuzzi was a wonderful extra that we enjoyed several times during our peaceful stay. We would wholeheartedly recommend this place!

We genuinely enjoyed our stay here from start to finish! The peace and quiet was just what we needed to help us relax and unwind for our 14th anniversary! Everything was thoughtfully laid out and we would visit this exact place again and again! Beautiful property with a small creek included! We REALLY enjoyed this beautiful property!

Beautiful little cabin! Loved the hot tub. There aren’t any closets or places to put clothing, so pack light. Otherwise it’s a perfect getaway.

It was cute but way smaller than I expected. Was welcomed with bugs or ants in the bathroom so we left a day early. I tried getting ahold of someone but no one would call back.

Nice little getaway

House was beautiful! Wish I would have paid more attention to details about how far out from Branson it was. Check in was a little frustrating because I didn't get the house code until after the check in time, so the communication was not ideal. However, after i checked in, the contact person was very accommodating. I appreciate their attention to my stay. Would recommend if you are wanting to just chill for a few days or don't mind the distance from town.

Overall great. Only caviar that wasn't clearly communicated during online booking was hot tub usage. This particular unit does not provide hot tub usage. Didn't not catch that or see that during booking. I advise to make sure you review pictures and invoice if hot tub is something you are interested in. Other than that I would stay again but review more before purchasing.
