Another Great visit - Relaxation just off the Branson Strip…read more - - - - - - - - September, 2025 Visit Short Summary: Great property near everything yet can and relaxing. Located on the Yellow Route and close to Reza Theater, the Titanic, and about 15 minutes from Salt Lake City- - -Additional information : My wonderful wife planned a getaway to Branson Labor Day weekend 2025, and we had a great time. Each time we've visited, we have stayed at Willow Ridge. We have typically been in rooms near the pool; this trip on the 5th floor with a view away from the pool, to the south. We hadn't realized when we scheduled the trip, but this 2025 Labor Day weekend, Branson hosted the US Navy Blue Angels for the first time, and we could see the show from our balcony - wonderful! - - - The property - - - Three buildings; 5 floors apiece. You can see the Branson Strip (Hw 76) but you don't hear the commotion. To the south is a great view of the Ozark hills.- - -The room- - -The rooms are standard MVCI / Marriott Vacation Club rooms:- 2 bedrooms, one king and two full sized beds- 2 bathrooms- Laundry- Kitchens with servings for 8 and all the utensils you need; refrigerator, dishwasher, stove, microwave and coffee machine.. with coffee available; just ask housekeeping for more- Patio table and chairs with a view- nice!Recommendation: bring a Bluetooth speaker for music.- - - Activities- - -In the main building there is football, ping pong / table tennis, an exercise room, a place for kids to have fun, and more. We spent most of our time at the pool; there are hot tubs. We also played a round of disc golf - this seems to be a simple course, but it does have surprising challenges; more MVCIs should have disc golf like Willow Ridge does!- - - MarketPlace- - -The MarketPlace is in the lobby; is a smaller shop. For more groceries, go to Rhodes Price Chopper, in the same parking lot as Walmart: ... leave the Marriott, and turn left/east on the Yellow Route ... at Green Mtn Drive, Yellow Route turns right/south; continue straight on Green Mtn. Dr. ... and at the top of the hill you'll see the Branson Strip is just ahead; look right and turn into the parking lot - - - Thank you, Willow Ridge! - - - ----- ----- -----

We've enjoyed the activities of the area even with the inclement weather and the wine & beer tasting ! The Activities Director, Massimo organized the activities well and took time to talk with us and Michael greeted us at the front desk and was thorough and pleasant in preparing important information and answering questions for us!!!

This is one of the better hotels I've stayed at in a long time. It is older and it doesn't look…read morelike much from the outside however, the staff are super friendly. The facilities are great. The breakfast was amazing. The bed was really comfortable. The room was clean and nice. No, it's not fancy and yes, it's an older hotel but they keep it up while and it has everything you could want and more. I think my only negative is the pool could be open earlier I appreciate it's open till midnight but it doesn't open in the morning till 9 so if you want an early morning swim, that's not really an option. But honestly that that's the only complaint that I could possibly have because it was a great experience and I will definitely stay there again in the future.

We made a big oopsie when booking with them. The negatives:…read moreThe carpet was sticky and moist!! I had to wear flip flops and socks 24/7. Wallpaper peeling, low ceilings, long halls with scary horror movie ceiling lights, the pool was closed the ENTIRE time we were there and they have a beautiful salt water pool and a sauna that we never were able to use.... , the shower was dripping non- stop and the sound seemed to amplify all night long. The "courtyard" was just overgrown grass and a picnic table. Across the street there is this tacky abandoned building. Creepy. It use to be where this Japanese violinist did shows - but he died three years ago. AAA booked this for me, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. They made it sound so nice and showed me pictures. Unfortunately they are old pictures and most of the reviews are old as well. The positives: The staff was nice. It had a good AC. Close to all the attractions. Easy check in/out. Pretty lobby. They had breakfast. Dog friendly and the bed was pretty comfortable.

Our accommodations are fully stocked, which I love not having to bring so much stuff when I am on vacation. The main thing that makes this place so special is that gorgeous infinity pool that looks right onto tablerock lake. The pool is where we hang out when some of our family want to go out on the boat and some of us don't. We spend most nights at the pool ---and everyone we meet is so friendly. My kids love it and we will continue to come as often as we can and recommended it to as many people as we can.

Our room was well put together, budget friendly and safe place to stay…read more We booked a King room with a Jacuzzi tub for my Birthday weekend. The bed is the most comfortable bed I've slept in. Our room had a Refrigerator, microwave, coffee pot with coffee & flat screen Tv. Housekeeping made sure our room was services daily with enough towels & amenities. (HUGE shot out to the housekeeping staff) The floors are laminated hardwood and housekeeping made sure they were clean. Overall housekeeping Exceeded expectations and made our stay away from home completely relaxing! Our Room was located 2 minutes from the main script. An easy 10 min walk to West 76 country blvd. The only thing missing is a dresser to unpack but it did have a standing closet & a lot of counter space. I was expecting a little more out of breakfast after reading the reviews. Breakfast consist of a small selection to choose from. Eggs, sausage, sausage links, The coffee was DELICIOUS and fresh with coffee mate creamers ETC! (Pictures posted) OVERALL budget friendly, safe, close to everything, clean spacious room. I would stay at seven again.

I usually prefer supporting local businesses over big chains and have stayed here before without…read moreany problems. Unfortunately, this experience was completely different--and unacceptable. When I had an issue with my door not opening, instead of offering help or even a simple APOLOGY, the staff member (Elizabeth) told me to check out if I was unhappy. So I did--three days early. To be clear, I didn't leave because of the broken lock; I left because she told me to. She became defensive immediately at the first mention of a problem. Her first response was to tell me to leave. That is absolutely not an appropriate way for your employee to handle a legitimate customer complaint. While I was frustrated at the situation, I was not disrespectful. If she cannot handle complaints professionally, then perhaps she should consider another job. I have NEVER been asked to leave a hotel in my 60+ years!! I spent two days calling back, asking for a manager to return my call, and I'm STILL waiting, over a week later! No refund, no accountability, no customer care.

We had a great stay, newly renovated rooms, very nice. They we're still currently under renovation in other areas of the hotel,but there was not one employee that we had the pleasure of meeting with that didn't great us with a smile and made sure we had a good stay. I can only imagine deep down how stressful it really has been for them but they all held their heads high and made the best of it. We had a conversation with a housekeeper that did our room during our stay and i believe she really needed to talk, let it out.And that she did, she let my husband and I know that she loves her job and that they have a really good tean. But the renovation had been goin on since June of 2025 and due to it her hours had got cut over half when she was promised she would get her hours regardless of the renovation but now they say sorry. Which had left her family struggling to make ends meet, she said she was trying really hard to hang in there and till it was completed but it was getting hard. and she brought to my attention that the housekeepers are the ones that keep a good hotel running, and she is absolutely right. But unfortunately all the housekeepers got cut when meanwhile the others still got there hours. 2 front desk people just setting there, doing nothing due to lack of business so there isn't much for them to do, so why have 2 there when calling housekeepers off. I don't know exactly how the hole hotel system runs but that don't sound fair at all in my book.Needless to say we made sure we gave her a good tip when we departed to make sure she knew we appreciated her hard work and wish her and the other housekeepers the best. We will be returning in a few months and hopefully they are totally renovated by then.

I wish I could separate stars. This place is awesome. We've…read morebeen camping and boating here for around 20 years. The campground is always taken care of. It's beautiful...it's a great location. It's easy to access. The ladies we deal with at the front desk (Julie and company) are the bomb dot com. So why the 3 stars? Price! It's getting out of control. Of course they jack the price up on Holiday weekends which is even more upsetting. That's about the only time we camp here. When we first started camping it was around 36 dollars a night for full hook ups. You couldn't hardly get a spot. It was always booked. We had to book a year in advance every holiday so our families could camp. Well...it was $78 a night this year and moving to $82 a night next year. This was the first holiday I looked around and really noticed empty campsites. The many of cabins were even vacant. I believe those are over $1,200 for the weekend if you book those. The full time campsites never had openings. They do now! Yes, it's a nice location, but I fear the new owners are pricing themselves out of the market. It's not a Sandals exclusive resort. Make camping great again Port of Kimberling! I know we are considering taking our boats to a location closer to home because of this. We drive over 2 hours to get here. An hour drive sure sounds nice when prices of everything are so unreasonable. Oh, and my dad just pulled his boat out of their marina because of the price increase.

I stayed in a cabin here for Memorial Day weekend. Booking the cabin by phone was easy and…read morestraightforward. A little pricey for what you get, but I completely understand the upcharge for the holiday weekend! We brought our dog with us and paid a small one-time pet fee, then he was good to go. Our king cabin was perfect for my our 70 lb labradoodle, my partner, and me. However, I think it would've been a bit of a tight squeeze with anyone else there too. When we arrived, our cabin was decently clean. A few bugs, but that's to be expected in the woods! They don't replenish your bathroom towels while you're there, but we had about 6 stored under the sink for the weekend, and that was just enough for us. There were mini bottles of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and lotion on the bathroom sink, but I recommend bringing your own unless you're only staying one night. The kitchen had an oven, stove, fridge, freezer, and some small appliances like a blender and toaster. The cabinets were fully stocked with plates, silverware, bowls, and cups. There was also a small bottle of dish soap and an extra roll of paper towels. There were two TVs in our cabin, one in the living room and a smaller one in the bedroom. I love the outdoor seating on the spacious front patio. We also used the grill out there and made the best burgers and steak! The dumpsters to drop off your trash bags are conveniently located in the campground area. There's a grocery store only about 5 minutes from the cabins, so we went there to get some small things like seasonings, aluminum foil, and the food of course. But the kitchen was pretty much stocked with most of the things we needed to cook a meal, which was nice! They allowed us to check in 4 hours early, our neighbors weren't too noisy, and we basically had everything we needed. Other than a rain reimbursement that I should've paid for since it poured the whole time we were there (which is totally on me for taking that risk!) we had a such a fun time! I would definitely stay here again.

The only negative, there were a couple pillows on couch, & the back of couch where the back pillow is attached were torn & had holes in them. We took pictures on day of our arrival to show we did not do it. But with so many people renting the cabins you can expect some wear & tear. We had a fabulous time
