Laura,
Just wanted to let you know it was very nice to have the whole family under one roof. Much better than staying in separate condos or hotels. Great home, great view, and great location. This was a special time for us due to the health of my sister and sister-in-law. Thank you again!! Take care and good luck with the kids' sports.

| Our group of 21 ladies stayed this past weekend in the beautiful setting of Deer Pass Lodge. We could not have asked for a more wonderful place to stay. The Lodge was perfect for our needs. The bedrooms are so nice and the beds comfortable. With only women in our group, the five full and two half bathrooms were definitely used and appreciated. The location is perfect for what ever you want to do. The view is so beautiful, the morning fog on the river is just breathtaking. Thank you again for letting us stay there and providing such a wonderful place. |

We stayed at the Deer Pass Lodge during Labor Day weekend and the house was amazing! The house had a beautiful view of Table Rock lake and everything we needed for the weekend (kitchenware, since we prepared all of our meals at the house; movies, games, etc.).
I would recommend this rental house for anyone looking to get together with friends or family for a relaxing getaway. |

| Deer Pass Lodge was a great Labor Day weekend getaway. Our group did as much (or as little) as each of us desired. The location couldn't be more perfect - close to everything, yet once you arrive at the lodge you feel secluded. The lake view was absolutely stunning. Many hours spent on the deck just watching the beauty of the ozarks. Thanks again - we had a wonderfule weekend! |

Your Deer Pass Lodge was just beautiful for our stay in August. The tremendous view of the lake was enjoyed by everyone in our group-Thank you for the 3 boat slips. The home was impeccably clean and your pride of ownership is very noticed throughout the home. Our group of 23 had more than enough room and the big rec room was a huge hit for the kids. We enjoyed our suite with our own private deck, we didn't strike up the fireplace for the weather didn't call for that, but we are planning to come back soon this fall so we can make use of it! We enjoyed being so close to Silver Dollar City and Branson, but loved the fact we had our own private retreat to go home too and no traffic to fight. Thank you for providing such a home to share with families and we will be sure to return this winter.
Sincerely, Roger & Mary |

Laura,
Our extended family just had a wonderful stay in three of
your homes! Willow Oak was great for 16 family members, and Deer Pass worked perfectly for the early 90th birthday celebration for Vern and whole-family gathering for 46 people. I think all who attended would agree that "A good time was had by all." Your homes had everything needed and provided such comfortable accommodations. Since Branson was "new" to almost everyone in the family, they enjoyed it
thoroughly. Would love to do it all again but know that won't happen for quite a while. We certainly will recommend your homes to others.
By the way, we were extremely pleased with Danna's Barbecue
catering our picnic on Aug. 26th. James was such a pleasure to deal with and so very accommodating. The food was great and the service beyond measure. We certainly would use him again if we ever have a need. Wish he was in our area.
Also, Beth's cakes were wonderful! Thank you for your
recommendation and for touching base with her, as she called me early on Wed. morning. Just sorry that she had an unexpected death in her family in the days preceding, and that was why she hadn't been able to get back with me. The cakes were delicious and beautifully decorated.
I can't give you the final results of our photography
experience but will do that after we see the photos, which he will be posting online in a couple of weeks. However, the entire family was very impressed with the professionalism of David from Coleman Photography in Nixa/Springfield, MO. dcolemanphotography com. He
was very prompt and worked quickly and efficiently (we had a list prepared of desired photos, and one family member helped get everyone lined up for each photo). He worked about two hours on planned shotsand spent the last hour taking candid shots. David was very personable and a real pleasure to work with. Would recommend him in a
heartbeat assuming that the photos are as good as we expect them to be. Will follow up with you later on the quality of the photos. When our daughter researched various photographers last fall, she found Coleman to be prompt with responses and prices more reasonable than others.
Not only was our family reunion and birthday celebration a
huge success, but the Lord blessed us with extremely beautiful weather the entire time. I honestly believe it was the nicest week of the whole summer--mild temps., low humidity, and almost no rain. The families from Oregon were especially pleased, as they were expecting
hot weather and high humidity. Wonderful!!!
Laura, thank you so very, very much for your beautiful lodges and for all the assistance you gave us in the past months to help make it a time of genuine blessing for all of us. May God continue to bless you and your family in all your future endeavors.
Sincerely,
Barb and Vern Greene

Dear Laura,
We enjoyed our stay at Deer Pass Lodge. We rented your home from August 22-29th. The home is very spacious and worked out well for not only the 19 in our family, but also when the entire Greene family (46) all came to celebrate Vern's upcoming birthday.
The house needs a little TLC, the carpets were VERY dirty. So dirty we could not let our toddlers play on the carpet, some of the base boards were missing with exposed nails and the nails on the deck were raised. Make sure you don't walk on the deck in bare feet. The house is beautiful, just needs some TLC. |

Homeowner Response:
Hello Mary we truly apologize for the carpets for they are spot cleaned thru the busy season and the house has not been unoccupied since May and the carpets cleaners need 3-4 hours for cleaning and 8-10 hours for drying. But the carpets have been cleaned the day after Labor, which was our first open day in 3 1/2 months. The small peice of molding has been replace and the deck repaired. Thank you for your stay and letting us know of these issues. A note to all guests: please if you notice any maintenence issue please notify us immediately upon arrival and not wait till depart or a week or more after. For we want to make sure all is in order for the most enjoyable stay. We strive to offer the best accomodations and this will make us even strive harder. Thank you so much and God Bless!

| This Lodge was a wounderful retreat for our families. We had 5 families there during our stay with kids ranging from age 1 thru age 16. Everyone(yes, even the teenagers)had a great time relaxing, cooking in the nice kitchen or on the deck and playing in the recreation area in the lower level. Although we did not travel out into Branson area during this trip, it's location is excellent to enjoy many of the local attractions! I would highly recommned this lodge to anyone. |

Laura,
We really enjoyed our stay at Deer Pass. We were able to get together with Evelyn's folks and 3 sisters and husbands. It was simply a very relaxing stay, and we got to see the redbuds begin to bloom, saw deer every day, even a few racoons at night. The scenery is a treat, even though we were there too early for the trees to be leafed out. Thanks and blessing to you. |

We are very grateful to have been chosen as winners of the 3-R Weekend.
We chose to bring our associate pastor and his wife and our board members and their wives.
What a beautiful place to reflect, plan, dream and of course have fun playing games, etc. If you hear laughter in those rooms, it is ours.
We had a delightful weekend and enjoyed both a beautiful day over the lake and snowfall over the lake. The best of both. It was beautiful. It is a gorgeous place to "retreat".
Thanks again for providing a weekend like this. We did, indeed, pray a prayer of blessing on your family and this home. May it be used for His glory.

We had seclusion with a great view, but were also close to the Branson area. Laura was so nice to work with, made us truly feel like friends. She actually updated the lodge with a new fooshball taable and a flat screen t.v. sdtrictly to meet the needs of our family. You cant go wrong with the Deerpass lodge or the good folks that own it. Hope to go baack soon. |

| Just loved The Deer Pass Lodge! We were speechless--it was so exciting just going through the home to pick our rooms. We stayed at the Willow Oak Lodge and it was great, but we brought back more family and friends this time and we had a BLAST!!! The home is huge--the kids loved playing hide and seek--they definitely got a work out for hours! Also, all the games and movies were a added plus! Thank you for the referral of Pizza by the Chef-Excellent Pizza! We hope to get away this winter for a church retreat and this place would be perfect so we will call you soon--God Bless, Rick & Joyce |

| What can we say--another perfect stay at your home. The kids loved playing ping pong and foosball and of course the big screen tv in the rec room is great. They could have just lived there, since your rec room is about the size of our house! The lake was as pretty as ever and we had a blast at Silver Dollar City, it is so nice to be so close(love the convenience), but when we come home we are in our own private retreat paradise. Thanks again for making everything just perfect, we are looking forward to the holidays with you! Take care, The Davis’s |

Our family had a wonderful time in Branson. It was really nice for all of us to be in one place, so we could visit and eat all our meals at the same time. We made great use of the kitchen and grill. Everyone pitched in and helped and we didn't have to wait in a long line at a restaurant for our group of 18 to be seated. Again, it was a great time and we had so much fun.
Thank you.

Dave and Laura,
Once again you have provided a beautiful and spacious home to use as a channel of blessing to everyone staying at your place. This particulair lodge was roomy and cozy for all our family. The kids loved running around... and my oldest son was ecstatic about the terrain. He spent the entire vacation scavagening through the woods pretending to be a big game hunter. ( No deer were harmed in the process- his weapon was a pretend pump rifle with a tattered 'Bass Pro Shop' price tag across the back) :) My husband and I stayed in the suite with the screened in porch! LOVELY! The kids soon discovered our quaint hideout and it soon became the refuge of hide and seek games. Thanks again for providing us with first class accomadations. You guys are truly wonderful people. And we were thrilled to meet you face to face! We are looking forward to coming back in September! |

We loved our stay at your beautiful vacation home so much that we are on our way back. Everything about your place is wonderful - the lake view, the ample space, the home touches, the deer that greeted us every morning, and the location. It united six siblings and their spouses and they all agreed it was perfect. The only complaint was that we didn't stay long enough so this year we're staying the whole week.
Thank you again for all your help.
Take Care,

Your house is beautiful. As we were attending a wedding at College of the Ozarks it was also an ideal location for us. We had 22 month old twins and the basement was a perfect place for them to run around. You said it is not finished, but I was surprised to see it in fact had a tiled floor and finished walls. You had some toys down there also which the kids loved.
Staying at your house made it so much easier to get ready for the wedding. It was like being at home!
Thank you for sharing your home. |

We loved the home, we had a wonderful stay. I being from Texas love the flat lands but the view from the house over looking the lake was great. I love the sight of Deer early in the Morning. The home felt as though it were ours for the time. David and Laura you made us feel right at home. The Family did not want it to end. We have and will continue to recommend it to anyone planning to go to Branson.
Thank you again for a wonderful time.

| Thanks so much for the wonderful vacation home. With 3 master bedrooms, there is plenty of room to spread out. I loved being able to have so much room to be together...or to separate for a time. The location is ideal. We loved being so close to Silver Dollar City and access to the lake. It is far enough away from the hustle and tension of Branson, but close enough you can be there in a few minutes. The view is incredible, and all our needs were covered. Thanks for thinking of everything. |

Dear Laura & David,
Words enough cannot express the peace about your home. Our family re-union was such a joy to share together in one place. We are a large family of 19 and I cannot get over the amount of space that we all had. The basement is just huge--thanks for the extra toys found there--the teenage boys had a blast on the ping pong table, tournaments went on all weekend!(The big Plasma was a hit too!) My husband and I got to choose the bedroom we wished to stay in--that was such a hard decision-they are all so beautiful and warm-you are such a decorator! We stayed in the master with the screened in porch. Oh, it was just lovely. It was warm and we just left the slider open and the beautiful breeze off the lake was wonderful. The trees are just coming into bloom, it was gorgeous. The kitchen is awesome! My husband just loves your grill--thank goodness Father's Day is coming up soon. Well, I guess I better stop writing a book-but your home is better than a home and we just can't wait to come back and stay again--plans are already in the making. With Silver Dollar City only being right up the road, we thought we would come back this fall with our bikes. Thanks again for your gracious hospitality, and we will see you soon, Sara
p.s. to anyone looking for a private oasis with top notch amenities--this home was even past our expectations, and I am a very picky lady! |
