About this property
Kayaks, Hot Tub, Firepit, Pool, & Dog Friendly!
Imagine relaxing on your deck overlooking Lake Taneycomo and the Ozark Mountains in your PRIVATE HOT TUB. Stunning!
Your family will love watching the fish jump and the eagles fly across the water. Take your kids out exploring in the kayaks or challenge them to a game of cornhole. Go fish off the dock and then take a dip in the community pool. End your day around the lake-side fire pit, telling stories and making s'mores. This will be a vacation everyone will remember! You can even bring Fido!
"Dogwood Lodge" sits on the water's edge and includes a large open-concept living area with a wall of windows, fireplace, dining for 16, and 4 King Suites with four private baths and welcomes up to 2 dogs.
A perfect Branson getaway on the lake!
Your group will love:
- Private Lakeside Deck - Amazing Views!
- Hot Tub w/ Privacy and Views!
- Fire Pit on the edge of the lake!
- 3 Kayaks
- Pool
- Fireplace
- Corn Hole
- Dock (slips for rent)
- Playgrounds
- Fishing
- Disc golf
- Dog-Friendly - up to two 75 lb dogs with a $150 fee/pet.
Spend your mornings and evenings on your covered deck in the PRIVATE HOT TUB overlooking the lake!
Enjoy the open concept, vaulted living room and fully stocked kitchen that overlook the water.
Enough table space for 16 with a fully stocked kitchen.
Board games around the whiskey barrel game table or Corn hole out in the yard.
4 four bedrooms have a new luxury king mattress and sheets, a private bathroom, and a Roku TV to stream from your favorite channels. (You will have to log into your own accounts). Three of the bedrooms also have a twin bunk so the kids can each have their own bed. There are enough beds for 14 in the bedrooms. The couch in the living room pulls out to a sleeper sofa for 2 more, creating enough room to sleep 16.
When you're ready to get out, there is so much for people of all ages and abilities to do around the resort, on the lake, and in Branson.
Take a short scenic drive into Branson for entertainment, restaurants, nightlife, water parks, aquarium, Silver Dollar City, zip lines, golfing, go-carts, putt-putt, and so much more!
This is the place where memories are made!
Local Restaurants, Supermarket, Coffee Shops, Donut Shop, Gas, etc - 3 mi.

After getting off the interstate, the road from Branson to Forsyth is a beautiful, scenic and winding road. Around the resort, the roads are all paved, but the parking is gravel.
A ramp leads up from the parking lot to the front door. However, it does not meet ADA standards.
I'm just a quick message away. Reach out to me if you need anything.
This cabin is in the park-like setting of Edgewater Beach Resort on the shores of Lake Taneycomo. This is a small resort where everything is in WALKING DISTANCE, including the pool, playground, and docks.
The cabin is perched out on the furthest outcropping of the resort, giving you privacy on your deck with nothing but water and Ozark hills in sight.
You can also walk next door to Empire Park, which has a fantastic disc golf course, paved walking trails, and Powersite dam.
EDGEWATER BEACH RESORT is just 2 miles outside of Forsyth and one mile from the Powersite Dam.
PARKING: At Dogwood Cabin, there is enough parking for 4 cars. If you need more room, your boat trailer can be parked near the docks just a short walk from the cabin.

PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE BOOKING
■ RENTAL AGREEMENT & SECURITY DEPOSIT - You will be sent a Rental Agreement. Signing and returning the rental agreement is a requirement for staying at this property. If you do not sign the rental agreement within 24 hours of booking, your booking may be canceled. This includes setting up a security deposit that will be held during your stay and refunded 48 hrs after checkout, assuming there is no damage to the property.
■ LAKE INFO- Lake Taneycomo is the coldest lake in MO and is famous for fishing trout, bass, bluegill, and more. It is not an ideal swimming lake, but the cold waters can be enjoyed in the hottest months of the year. Lake weeds do grow up in the shallow waters in front of the cabin for about 6 months of the year, so if you want to get into the water, plan to paddle the kayaks out to one of the coves across the lake. In the warmer months, a micro plant called Water Meal also begins to float on the lake's surface and gather along the shore. This grain-like plant does not harm your health or inhibit fishing. You are welcome to fish on the resort's shore and off the dock. The best fishing tends to be out in the lake's deeper waters.
■ PETS - Dog friendly! The number of dogs must be selected upon booking. We allow up to 2 house-trained dogs under 75 lbs. each. There is an additional fee of $150 fee per dog added to the total of your trip.
Pets must be kenneled when left home alone.
They must be on a leash at all times when outside of the cabin.
Guests are responsible for cleaning up any waste from their pets.
Guests must ensure that barking does not disturb our neighbors.
Pets are never to be left alone outside.
Please use the dog blankets provided if your pet will be on the couch or bed.
We provide a basic kennel, a doggy bed, poop bags, and a lint roller. Excessive pet hair, damage, or smells will result in additional fees.
■ HOT TUB - Absolutely NO GLASS or food near the hot tub. NO BUBBLES, NO SALTS OR OILS can be added to the hot tub. You must shower first and wear a swimsuit (not clothes) in the hot tub. The hot tub is professionally serviced after each guest. Just let us know if it needs to be served during your stay.
■ AGE - All guests must be 25+ with the exception of children with their parents.
■ OCCUPANCY - Maximum 16 Persons. If you bring more people than accounted for on your reservation, you will be asked to leave without a refund.
■ SECURITY CAMERA - Security cameras on the front porch are in place for your protection. You will be asked to leave the property immediately with no refund if you touch or tamper with the cameras. This is for your protection.
■ NO SMOKING - This is a NON-SMOKING/VAPING cabin.
■ UNCONTROLLABLE SITUATION - No refunds for weather/natural disasters/power outages/other things that are beyond our control. Please purchase travel insurance for coverage if this is a concern.
■ CHECK-IN/OUT - Check-in at 4:00 PM. Check-out at 10:00 AM. We do not offer early check-ins or late check-outs.
■ CRITTERS - We have the cabin on a regular pest control schedule to help minimize the possibility of insects and critters. However, this is a lake area and some insects are unavoidable. You can occasionally expect to see critters (bugs, ants, spiders, bats etc.) in or around the cabin. If this is a concern for you, a place further from the water may be a better fit for you. Please help us by keeping the floors swept, sweets in the fridge, and trash cleaned up.

About the host
Hosted by Chris Fillingham

My wife and I live in St. Louis with our 4 kids. We love creating special memories for our family and hope we can help create some for you. There is a line from John O'Donahue that inspires what we do, "Beauty blows the heart open." We hope our family's cabin will be a place where you and your loved ones can gather to experience beauty, joy, and delight.
Why they chose this property
Chris' great-grandfather retired and moved to the neighborhood next door because Lake Taneycomo has long been seen as the best fishing lake in the Midwest. So, this place has lots of memories for us as a family. This particular cabin was built in 2008 and updated in 2021. Its location on the water's edge makes it the absolute best view around. It just cannot be beaten!
What makes this property unique
You cannot be closer to the Lake! Enjoy your time with the provided kayaks, fire pit on the edge of the water, and your private hot tub on our deck.
