Great place to stay

Reviewed By Starslayer

We came down to Camdenton for the REO Speedwagon and Styx concert and found this resort to stay at for a couple days since we wanted to hang out at the lake the days after. It was an awesome stay and everyone was helpful! I was very happy with the service and the rooms were clean and very comfortable. The view was awesome too. The beds were the softest things I had ever slept on in my life. 100/10 reccomended.

Amazing view, but the inside left a lot to be desired

Reviewed By Tiredtraveler1987

We staryed in the Copperston Cottage. The kitcen layout was not good; with the sink right next to the cooktop. The frig door hit the sink when trying to fully open. It was not stocked well at all. No foil, salt & pepper shakers left from others were not clean & no storage bags. The bed/pillows were awful and the coffin sized shower in a room no bigger than a closet was shared with the toilet; with one rug that was in front of the shower & toilet. The jacuzzi had rust/dirt around the jets and was not inviting. This was for our anniversary and we felt the cost far exceeded what we got. We will most likely not return to Murphy's Place

Clover Leaf Bay Resort

Great place for relaxing vacation

Reviewed By Sam B

Cloverleaf Bay is a traditional style resort that would be great for families with young children and would be a great place for fishermen (or women) or folks that just want to relax by the lake. If you're looking for bunched up, condo style accomodations with a lake side swimming pool then this may not be your place. However, if you're looking for a place that's comfortable where the kids can have fun swimming in the lake, you can do a little fishing or boating, or just relax, I recommend that you give Cloverleaf Bay a try.

The Meadows

Lovely and Peaceful Resort

Reviewed By dlfeenstra

This was our third visit to this peaceful and charming resort. The owners are helpful and do all they can to make you feel at home. We stayed in the Fireside Cabin and thoroughly enjoyed the fireplace. The Meadows is nestled in a beautiful little valley surrounded by trees. The cabin was clean and stocked with basic supplies. This cabin is small but has plenty of space for a couple and has a homey feel. They have continued to make improvements since they have taken ownership. It is located near state parks and interesting small towns. A wonderful spot to get away from it all!

Scenic event location

Reviewed By ref2cor3_18

Looking for the rustic, country place to celebrate? This would be it. This is not a hotel, but a barn type building for events and several cottages. Lots of outdoor space with large pond & waterfall. Space for RV's. Very quiet and outside any residential / business areas. Even though there is plenty of outdoor space - No dogs allowed.

Relaxing Visit On the Lake!

Reviewed By D8819VKcindyh

Loved our relaxing time on the lake! We enjoyed the pool, and swimming off the dock! My husband and I walked the graveled loop several times. (The steep hill made it a good workout)! They also have a nice path through the woods we walked the last time we were there. The cabins are cute and clean. My only complaint is that the window shades did not block out the light. We had to hang a blanket over the shades to darken the room.

Reviewed By Travyl4ever

My family and I stayed here for a week and we loved it! The lake is so close by and there is a ton of things to do in Branson. We went to shows, visited Silver Dollar City, the Toy Museum, etc. Tony, the owner was very nice and so was the maintenance man (didn't catch his name). Our room was clean and quiet. There is s small market on site in case you need or forget anything. We used the pool and played games on property. There is a small area for kids to swing and teeter totter (see-saw). We had a great time. Convenient location, great place to stay without breaking the bank!
