This was our 3rd stay at Jack’s Cabin and it never disappoints us. Something about having the whole mountain to yourself at night. Everything is always taking care of before you arrive and everyone is so helpful. A view like nothing else as if being steps from the green of hole number isn’t enough the view of Table Rock Lake is amazing. Everything lit up at night is wonderful. There is construction that has been going on for a few years adding an attraction but it’s quite in the late afternoon.

We have never booked here before. We booked with you guys we paid our rooms in full and there was a “resort fee” of $70. That was okay with us! But when we got here they said there was a $200 deposit. That was never displayed on ANYTHING we read through you guys. This was for my daughters birthday that turned into a disaster. Very misleading. When someone is booking through you the correct amount should be displayed. This was falsely advertised and it’s not okay.

We had dinner at Uncle Bucks in Fun Mountain. The service was poor, our orders were wrong and felt like the price was not in line for the experience we had. The property was beautiful and we loved the rooms. Just had a bad dining experience is the only negative... however; we will surely come back, and just eat somewhere in Branson perhaps.
