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.

Whether you come by car or boat, this place just feels like the ultimate summer hangout. We sat outside and it was everything: breezy, scenic, and so relaxed. The food? Completely amazing. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Generous portions, bold tastes, and that perfect "I need to come back and try more" quality. We left completely satisfied and already planning our next visit just so we can work our way through more of the menu. But the real star of the night was our server, Rachel. She was outstanding -- friendly, attentive, and genuinely fun. She checked on us at just the right times, made great recommendations, and somehow made the whole experience feel personal instead of just another table. You can tell she actually cares about her guests having a great time. Servers like Rachel are rare, and she completely elevated the whole night. Big Buoy's checks every box: fantastic food, incredible service, and that unbeatable lakeside atmosphere. If you're anywhere near Kimberling City or out on Table Rock Lake, do yourself a favor and stop in. We're already looking forward to our next visit -- and requesting Rachel again! Highly, highly recommend.

Drove over an hour last Saturday (06/20/26) to see him and we were SO disappointed. We brought 4 family members who had never been and had talked this all up so much. Ugh. The speakers or sound system were HORRIBLE. We couldn't understand a word Clay sang or spoke. And as good as the fiddler and (forgot what instrument the other person was playing,) it was just TOO much for a small venue. Clay by himSelf is perfect. Sadly we left after being there 10 minutes. What a bummer. Hopefully they get that sound system figured out. It was ear crunching loud this time too. I know it's usually loud but this was over the top. And, these comments come from a guitarist and drummer. Bartender had no interest in serving us and appeared put out. Yes, I know it's packed and it's summer but... Will try again next year and hope for better. Thanks
