This is our 2nd time to book this place! My family and I stay here during Christmas. It is the perfect setup with the slide for the kids- my kiddos, ages 4 and 2 absolutely had a blast. We were at Silver Dollar City when my 4 year old said she was ready to go back to the “Hoe-del” (HOTEL) she really loved it. Anyways, the setup of the rental is perfect for all ages and so accommodating with nice rooms and each have their own bathroom. We will be back again next year.

Wonderful Stay!

This property was the perfect place to stay for our family vacation. The layout was so well done (great use of space). Every room was so nice and everyone gets their own bathroom. The owners did extremely well with this property and the details. We appreciated the high chair :). In our group we had all ages (toddlers to senior citizen) and this VRBO accommodates everyone! Fun for young kids with the slide and tree house upstairs. A hot tub, sauna, firepit and games on the lower level so not to wake up the kids at bedtime. Also, they have a black stone grill which my husband appreciated while cooking breakfast for our large group. We also took our 3 year old to swim in the indoor pool one night, which she loved. It was a great trip and everyone enjoyed the stay! Highly recommend!

A nice getaway.

This was the perfect spot for my family to step away from everyday life. The kids loved the bunkbed slide and arcade style games in the basement.

The Best House Ever!

We had our first, full family vacation at Into The Forest with all our kids and grandbabies and had the absolute best time! The house was amazing with something entertaining for everyone. Staff was very attentive to texts/calls and immediately handled any issues we had. The house was stocked with 99% of what we needed and that made our stay so stress free. We would 10000% stay here again if we come back to Branson. Best house in the best city with the best hosts.

Amazing Family Getaway

We loved our stay at Into the Forest. The theming is great. The kitchen is stacked. The amenities were great for kids and adults and there is a lot of room for everyone to spread out. Great views from the deck and management was super responsive with any questions. Would highly recommend.

This place was absolutely amazing. So clean with tons of space. We had a problem with a tv not working and it was replaced within an hour. They were so easy to work with and they responded to my messages very quickly even in the middle of the night. The entire city lost power and they were on it and kept me updated on the electric companies progress. They even messaged me at 2 in the morning to let me know the power was back on. Long story short, we are already planning another trip to this rental.

Soooo Much Fun!

My family of 13 had the most amazing time at Into The Forest! The house was clean, stocked well, very spacious and had a variety of entertainment for everyone in our party......without ever having to leave the home! Host/hostess was very communicative and responded quickly to any issues we had. We were sad to depart but we will definitely be back!

This property was perfect for our family gathering over the Fourth of July! Everyone had plenty of space and loved having their own bathrooms for each room. The view was gorgeous and the decks had enough space to relax and enjoy it or eat dinner with a great backdrop. Kitchen was spacious and had a good size dining table. With our 17 not everyone could eat there at once, so we used the deck which was perfect, just might be harder in the winter. All of the provided entertainment (arcade games, ring toss, tent, tree house bed, etc) made it so kids from 1-14 could all find something to do and could take space if needed. The pool was great for the little kids (not deep enough for true swimming for older kids/adults), but easy to use and great to have on site. The house was clean and new and the amenities (toilet paper, shampoo, paper towels, etc) helped us be ready to go from the moment we stepped in the door.The host was easy to reach and helpful throughout. Would highly recommend this property! It was fabulous :)
