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!

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.

The hot tub is professionally serviced after each guest. Just let us know if it needs to be served during your stay.

■ 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.

We would love to host your group! Book now and lock in your rate!

Relaxing Getaway at the Lake

We really enjoyed our stay here. Chris provided us with plenty of information prior to our arrival, so we were off to a great start! The cabin was very well laid out with plenty of storage space for everyone's things. We were pleasantly surprised to find a large crate with bedding and blankets for the dogs. The beds were comfortable and made for a great night's sleep. We enjoyed the hot tub, and the view of the lake during the day is great. There were a couple hiccups, but Chris took care of things right away and we were very impressed by that. We travel a lot and know things happen - it's the response that counts and we had a great experience with how things were handled. Bottom line - we would definitely stay here again!

We absolutely loved this property!! So quiet and relaxing but just a short drive to all of the fun and action! The house was fully furnished which is sometimes rare! We all sleep with fans and usually have to buy or bring our own but they had them for each bedroom! Spices and about everything you need in the kitchen already there! Plenty of paper towels and toilet paper also! We will definitely be back!!!

There were 12 of us staying at this place over Thanksgiving. The property manager was quick to respond to any questions I had. The place has a nice setup and everything you need (except for filter water and ice). It opens up to the kitchen, dining room, and living room. There are two bedrooms to the right and two to the left (no hallways). All bedrooms are the same size, with king beds, bunk beds (except for one), and a full bath in each one. It has a patio or balcony with a hot tub looking at the lake. It is perfect for a large group.

Great house. Plenty of room for large group. Love the layout. Unbeatable view!

LOVED THIS PLACE! Couldn't complain about anything even if I wanted to. Beautiful clean house. Perfect kitchen/ common area for cooking & serving larger groups. Plenty of things to do both indoors & outdoors. We went at a weird time of the year so we experienced a temp range between 32-80 during our stay. The house was able to correct temperature very quickly when called upon & keep up which I can't say is true for all the places I've stayed. Hottub, best Lakeview, comfortable king beds plus bunks for the Littles, short 3mi drive to town for groceries/ dollar general/ fast food/ Starbucks. Place was great, Host was very kind & responsive, look forward to staying here again!

Relaxing stay

We really enjoyed our time. The house was set up nicely for a large group. We were able to have adults have bedrooms/bathrooms on one side of the house and the kids on the other. Nice layout. Any issues/concerns we had were immediately addressed by the owner. The only downside I could think of was not being able to fish off shore from the property. The water level was very low so seaweed near the shore was an issue. But the 3 kayaks and/or the docks a short walk away helped that out. We left with great memories with lifelong friends that we haven’t seen in two years!

Family Vacation

Our family vacation included a group ranging in age from 7 to 92, coming from Norman, Edmond, and Tulsa, OK, and Chesapeake, VA. Unfortunately, our dates came in the middle of the hottest, wettest summer in recorded history, which resulted in a pea-soup algal bloom in the lake, and oppressive humidity on the shore. Fortunately, we booked Dogwood Inn! The cabin was so nice and included so much to do and enjoy indoors we never even wanted to go outside. The four bedrooms—each with its own bath—were perfect for our five families. The spacious common area let us enjoy video games, card games, dominoes, puzzles, conversations, and serious snacking all at the same time in the same space. Our host, Chris, was wonderful before, during, and after our stay. He said the cabin was not officially ADA compliant, but the ramps, low thresholds, and spacious interior presented no obstacles to our walker users. The ONLY challenge we encountered was that the faucets were all plumbed backwards in terms of hot and cold locations, making water temperature control a little tricky, especially for the little guys and the adults who rely on automatic muscle memory and habit to turn on the tap. Dogwood Inn was impeccably clean, stylishly decorated (cabin style) perfectly appointed, and decidedly welcoming and comfortable. If I could have thought of something more to ask for, I would have asked and Chris would have responded. But I couldn’t.

Perfect Getaway

This property and vacation is what we needed. The house was amazing. Fully stocked with everything we needed and plenty of room for our family of 6 to spread out and just be. The kids loved the kayaks so much we actually changed up our plans and stayed at the cabin and decided not to go into Branson. The pool was great. Shallow enough for my 5 year old but deep enough for my husband to do cannonballs to entertain the kids. Chris was fast to respond and was helpful on suggestions for fishing.

About the host

Hosted by Chris Fillingham

Host profile image
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.
