The breakfast was delicious- we had French toast with nuts and strawberries. There is a large common deck to sit outside and a sun room. The Mediterranean room has its own private deck as well. There is direct lake access from the property and you can use their two kayaks or paddle boat. The sheets on the bed are absolutely amazing and the two person jetted tub is wonderful and well kept. It was a wonderful getaway and worth every penny for its level of relaxation and seclusion. There is also free wifi and great cell signal.

We thoroughly enjoyed both of our stays at Anchor Inn on the Lake. We stayed several nights both times and had great experiences. The owners are incredibly nice and accommodating. The breakfast is delicious, unique, and different every day. There are paddle boats and kayaks to take out on the lake, a humongous deck to enjoy wonderful views of the lake and local wildlife, and spacious rooms to relax and stay in if desired. One of the rooms has a cool 2nd level with a jacuzzi tub that has a great 360 degree view. And the sheets....OH MY GOODNESS the sheets!! There are several layers of sheets and covers on top of an already comfortable bed, which makes for a night's sleep like no other. I always have trouble sleeping, but not there! The Inn is in a great location. It is out far enough to enjoy a peaceful and serene environment but close enough to the attractions of Branson and the surrounding areas. You just can't beat the great location. They also have a rewards program to earn free nights. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay around Branson.

This review is going to be on the longer side so let me just get this out of the way up front, if…read moreyou're questioning whether to stay here, do it, no questions asked. My husband and I go on little mini vacations every six months or so without the kids and this year we decided to go to Branson. After planning a trip to this exact hotel about two years ago and having to cancel because of circumstances outside of our control we decided to rebook here since we were so excited about it the first time. I will tell you if you book through Expedia make sure you call to follow up with them to make sure you have all of the information you need to get into the building if you are going to get there late at night. When you get there you are greeted by the most charming street and when you walk in it feels like you are a part of a hallmark movie. The environment itself brought me so much joy. We arrived around 10:30 at night and it was quiet. We went up to our room and it was small but this is a historic building with a lot of character so unless you are planning on spending most of your trip in your room this is/was a non issue for us. The bed was comfortable and the room and bathroom were clean and they had everything we could have wanted and needed. I did read some reviews about the water temperature/ temperature of the rooms. I will say there was no control for the central air/heat in our room that we noted BUT THAT BEING SAID it was comfortable the entire time we were there. There was also a ceiling fan that we could control via remote control that kept it the perfect temperature for us the entire time. We had a room that looked out onto the Main Street below us and the old railroad tracks next door and it was so pleasant after a long day to be able to watch the people below. Now that we've gone over the room, let's talk about the customer service. It has been so so long since I have stayed in a place that has had such exceptional customer service. John made sure we had everything we needed and more, making sure every time we walked by the front desk that we didn't need anything. Not only did he make sure our check in and stay was seamless, it really seemed like he cared about our trips overall experience. Again, it is a smaller place so by the end of our trip it felt like he knew us and we knew him. He made sure we were happy, fed and that our time there was special. Whether that be making sure we had chairs to sit on at the lake we were planning on spending a day at, to a place to sit for the Fourth of July fireworks with the perfect view, to giving his name at other establishments near by so we were taken care of. I will say to his praise as well even places we went to and mentioned where we were staying had nothing but the absolute kindest things to say about him and what a great place it was. Now, one of my favorite things, the food. There is a restaurant located inside of the inn, this is where most of the hustle and bustle comes from during the day and really truly brings the place alive. The staff were excellent, so personable and just fun. The food was fantastic and as a self certified food snob I was never disappointed. At one point I looked at my husband and said this is the first time in a while I have felt like the food is worth the hype. We went into the bar in the afternoons and had appetizers and drinks and were greeted with the same friendly face behind the bar each time(I wish I had gotten his name but he was wonderful - if you go tell him I said hi!). We tried several appetizers from the nachos to the pretzel and the fish and chips entree and everything left us happy and satisfied. The drinks were always good and again the service here is exceptional.The location is pretty central in hollister. We had everything we needed within walkable distance from the inn. At one point I told my husband I preferred hollister over Branson. We had initially gone for all of the touristy stuff Branson had to offer. We spent a good day there doing the titanic museum and the mountain coaster, but I think both of us preferred the slowness and more personable feeling hollister had to offer. The other business along the strip were also so welcoming and beautiful and just treated you with the same openness as family. I really wish I could describe to you just how much I loved it here but the previous statements will have to hold to be true. I have not been so sad to leave a place in a long time and we will be back many times over.

This is no longer private owner ran. Rent Branson.com now handles this property…read more Good morning i've thought long and hard about what I would say to you all concerning our stay in Branson. Will you still live in Branson and when we left we would always come back and stay at red bed Cove. At that time it was a bed-and-breakfast and enjoyable clean place to stay. So I assumed even though a rental company had taken it over. It would be basically the same without the breakfast. Boy was I wrong! This has been absolutely the worst stay ever in Branson since 1975! I took a video upon arrival as I always do in case we needed to have something done. The place wasn't very clean upon arrival. Spiders were in the tub plus there were roaches. There is a mattress topper on the bed that is too small for the bed so the pillows sink into the space between the bed and the wall. The first evening we contacted rent Branson due the fire alarm battery going out. They came and changed those while we were out of the unit. We had to call them again in the evening due to two dogs in the next unit barking uncontrollably for over two hours because they were left in the unit by their self. We were told that they would contact the people. Maybe they did call them, didn't change anything second day again we had to contact rent. Branson due to the dog barking left unattended in the unit. We asked at that time if you couldn't move us to a different unit different place. We were told that they would check with management and see. The next day the carbon monoxide started beeping and it beeped continually we called again!!! we asked for management to contact us. That's a joke! Management does not contact anyone they could care less about the people that are renting from them. That next morning, while we were gone, they came in the apartment and took the carbon monoxide unit stating that the apartment didn't really need it. Even though there's a gas fireplace in it with a pilot light lit. Upon leaving the apartment they left my door unlocked! I was gone all day working came back to the apartment. The lights were on, and my door was unlocked. I told the office about that but as usual nothing. On our final night there a group of young men who rented a unit in our building saw the window on the lower floor and said there's a window and threw rocks at it. We were already in bed. I got up and went outside and confronted them, and I told them that I would be calling the police.

Every day we were served hot breakfast straight from the oven in the beautiful dining room. I think it can be truly said that if you start your day with a nice warm breakfast then everything seems right. This was our first experience staying at a bed and breakfast and we loved it! Everyday there was something new and it was served to us right at our table. It made us feel pretty special. I cannot imagine how beautiful this place must look in winters covered with snow all around. We went in summer and everywhere we could see colorful flowers. The water in the lake was sparkling like diamond and it was so clear and peaceful and we used to spend hours looking at it.

The staff are students working to pay for their college tuition so the service was great! The food was good (most ingredients on site also made by students) portions were huge, the price was decent, place was clean and much better then any touristy type restaurant near or on the strip, so much so we came here for dinner 2 nights in a row. The students are so interactive if you ask them questions and they also have the place they are from on their name tags which can be conversation starters. It does take them a little time to get through service so make sure you have a little time to wait. They serve 2 types of bread with bread service and 3 different butters alongside those. The apple butter was delicious. The first night I had the meatloaf which was very good. The second night I had their special for the night which was a stuffed chicken with spinach and cheese, vinegar potatoes and some mixed veggie side that was delicious. There is also a store area where you can buy student made items to take home with you. I wish we had a program like this near us because we would support it frequently. Definitely make reservations and give this place a try.

Especially enjoyed a couple of nights sitting on the upper level porch overlooking the downtown area and the walkable location to restaurants and shopping. The linens and towels were nice, but the mattress in our room has seen its better days. It was completely caved in along the edge where you sit to get into bed and in the middle and while comfy soft it was impossible to sleep on your stomach. After first night I asked if we could have another room or if perhaps the mattress could be flipped. They said another room was not open, so they would flip the mattress. This only brought a little relief as I still couldn't sleep on my stomach and now the mattress sloped from the middle to the pillow area, elevating from the middle of the bed to our feet. No idea how the other room mattresses were. If you are a side or back sleeper perhaps this would be no issue for you. We slept in the Notebook room.
