The Rusty Moose Lodge was a very welcoming vacation spot! It was cozy and each room was decorated beautifully! It's spacious to have alot of family or friends. It was a very relaxing place to stay. The view of the lake is unbeleivable! The rec room downstairs is a lot of fun! I would HIGHLY recommend this place to ANYONE looking to get away! It's close enough to Branson for those who want to go to shows or to Silver Dollar City, but far enough out to be a very relaxing quiet place to enjoy. Definately check this place out!

Thank God for David and Laura.

First of all everyone arrived at different times, and they were a bit frustrated because they were in familar territory, but the recation of everybody once they entered the house was WOW! Everyone was relaxed instantly and their spirt was calmed. This was an experience that we will never eve forget.

Thank you for soliciting your prayers for my aunt who is now back on her feet and have absolutely no signs that she ever had an aneuyrsm.... A"Miracle".

Beyond the beauty of the home and the beautiful site, being in this home helped to bring healing and restoration to our family. Thank you for ministering to us. We will be back.

May god forever Bless you and your family.

We stayed at the Rusty Moose Lodge for my mother's 80th birthday celebration. There were 14 of us there and the Lodge was excellent. It was roomy and cozy at the same time. The views were wonderful and we had such a great time! Thank you Laura!

Oh, My Goodness, What a home(it was more than a home)!!! It was just unbelievable! It was spectacular-everything was just perfect. The home, the view, the ease to go out when we wanted to shop or go to Silver Dollar City. But we couldn't wait just to come back to the Rusty Moose. We will be back soon for I am sure the trees against the lake is majestic for we were greeted every evening by some of the most beautiful sunsets I and our family has ever seen. Our stay was blessed from the beginning and we are truly appreciative of you allowing us vacation in this marvelous home. I was sold on your website, but the home can never convey the beauty within. We all are and were just speechless from the time opening the door till we had to leave and believe me--our parents didn't want to leave--this was a blessing to them and something we will always treasure--thank you once again.
In Christ, Jayne & Bill

Great stay. very comfortable, cool in the very warm
weather, good advice before the trip, wonderful
table so all can eat together, great to have two sets
of washer and dryers, Elizabeth was great, room to
roam, and very nice deck and view. Would
recommend readily. Don't know that we will need
the big house again for some time but the lodge to
the left looked enticing.

The house was beautiful and perfect for our stay. We had a party of 19 and had plenty of room and didn't feel the house lacked anything. I would recommend this property. It is also in a great location...not too far from Silver Dollar City but the "other" way, away from the strip crowds.

Still smiling from the fantastic time we had spending time with family at The Rusty Moose Lodge. The home was absolutely perfect for our needs. The decor was so neat! The large kitchen table was the place to be during our stay. Many a card game, chess game, etc. was played!!! Thank you for making it possible for families to rent such a lovely place. It was so wonderful for all 23 of us to be under one roof and still have room for each family to have their own space.
Most Sincerely,

WOW!!! We cannot begin to express just how impressed we were with your home. When we arrived...that is just what it felt like. This was our second annual Women's Retreat, and our ladies absolutely loved it! The view was fabulous, the rooms were amazing, and our time together was "priceless." Thank you for the awesome "goodies"...what a sweet gesture. We are already planning our stay for next year.

Our church group just had an awesome time at the Rusty Moose Lodge! Although the pictures on the web site are beautiful, we were still so excited at just HOW great everything was when we arrived! Such a beautiful view, wonderful fireplace, lots of room to spread out and relax, great furnishings, comfortable bedding, etc., etc. We would LOVE to stay at the Rusty Moose again! Thank you so much for your hospitality!

We brought 23 ladies for a Women of Purpose retreat at this beautiful place this past weekend. We could not have asked for a better location. The great room was truly great. We made lots of memories there. The view was incredible, and the weather gorgeous. God was truly "awesome in this place." We would definitely recommend this home. We plan to return. Thanks, Laura, for everything.

I booked the Rusty Moose Lodge for a winter trout fishing 5-day weekend. The home was more beuatiful than we could have imagined! The great room was huge and had fantastic views of the sunsets over Table Rock Lake. I was impressed by the fact that the owners really spared no expense in the decor, furnishings, and supplies. The kitchen was fantastic.
I would highly recommend the Rusty Moose Lodge to anyone who is visiting the Branson/Table Rock area.
The owners were wonderful and extremely responsive.
Thanks!

How do you do it! We have stayed at the Willow Oak-lovely home and we will see you in the spring, we have stayed 2 times at the Deer Pass-very special home, and now we thought we would try out your new home--we are just in shock for words. Your homes fit our family needs perfectly and the love you put in your homes is just amazing and a blessing to us. The Rusty Moose is so full of warmth and love that it just oozes out! You make our trips to Branson exciting, if Branson isn’t exciting enough. But we are just as excited about staying in your homes. Beautiful furnishings--we just love the warmth of the antiques, fine linens and bedding. Exquisite taste, my dear. See you soon, Mary and Ken

Thank you is not enough for what was the experience in your beautiful-majestic home. This home is spectacular and grand and was the perfect place to celebrate our parents 40th Wedding Anniversary. Every thought and detail went way beyond our expectations. We come to Branson every other year, but now we are coming every year and staying with you. We enjoyed the shows and shopping, but nothing was more than perfect then coming home and watching the sunset over the lake--pure beauty. Your taste & furnishings are Impeccable! Again, ‘Thank You’ for sharing your home with us, you are truly a blessing to all.
Sincerely, Barb and Greg--Texas

Our family reunion in your beautiful home was fantastic. We throughly enjoyed all that your home had to offer. We were able to enjoy each others company and get caught up on all the family happenings of those that live far away. We also got to see the 2 new additions to the family one 6 months old and the other 5 weeks old which was great. We throughly enjoyed all the activities that Branson had to offer especially the show we went to which was SIX. Your home was all that we thought it would be and more. We will definitely keep it has someplace we would like to return to. Thanks again for letting us visit your beautiful home.

There were 20+people in our party. Everyone was impressed with the house and area!!! We could not have been more pleased! We stayed for three nights and wished we had stayed longer. I will definitely be recommending the use of this house for my family again. Many thanks to Laura and David for their hospitality. This house improved my wedding weekend tremendously and allowed a great environment for families to meet and get acquainted. Thanks!!

Laura,

Good memories are a gift from God. Our family has some awesome memories of our last Christmas together with our Dad at your wonderful home. Our dad, Dr. E. G. Robertson went home to be with his Lord on March 26, 2008 at 9:10 AM. Our last time together as an entire family was in your home in Branson last December. This is a time that we will forever cherish. What wonderful memories and what a wonderful place to have made those memories. Thanks again for such a sweet time.

My family and many friends spent spring break at Moose Creek Lodge. The house is amazing and the view breathtaking!
It was so nice to have that many people in one house and never feel cramped. A great time was had by all. I highly reccommend this property.

We just finished a wonderful stay in Branson at this amazing house. Photos online do not capture the grandeur of this place. We were blown away when we opened the door. So many wonderful
details! It's so large yet furnish to give a "cozy" mountain lodge feel. Our group of 20 had the best time. We were all sad to go. Thank you soooo much for sharing this house with us. God Bless!

Dear Laura & David,
We really don't know where to start! Your home is truly amazing from the time you pull up in the driveway till the time you enter, till the time you place your head on the pillow and are full of joy when you awaken and it wasn't a dream. I just can't imagine the time and the true heart you put into this home for we were constantly surrounded by the beauty of the lake and the awesome warmth of the fireplace and your decorating skills are unmatched. Thank you so much for your kind hospitality. Everything we needed was here and beyond! My aunt is truly grateful for all the thought you put into making sure her needs were met. She enjoyed the level access and the huge master suites shower and knowing that all the toilets were handicapped made her stay so enjoyable. You not only out did yourselves, but went way beyond the call. Thank you for giving us a home that we now will visit yearly! Having that 'Great Room' with the 20ft dining table and seating 18 was just wonderful. 'Thank you' isn't enough to express our gratitude, we will be back this fall, I can just imagine the awesome colors against the lake and the surrounding mountainside! I will spend my evenings on that deck(which by the way is bigger than our house) watching the sunset. Can't wait to set up our next stay with you. God Bless You---Yvonne Litmann, Dallas Texas

Wow what a blessing this house was. We had the opportunity to spend time with family and great friends. This was time away in a touch of heaven. The fresh air and the rustic decor are perfect for helping us relax. The beds were way too comfortable and the environment too welcoming.....leaving was the worst part of the weekend. Thank you guys for everything!

What a blessing your home was for our family this year! We rent a place somewhere every Christmas that is large enough for our entire family to meet. I believe that God led me to you this year. He knew just what we needed. My dad, who is 76 is fighting bone cancer and we don't know what the future holds at this point. We wanted something that would be very comfortable for him and a place that we could create memories of one of the best Christmas's we have ever had. This home was perfect. Dad was able to put his feet up, relax, set by the fire and watch football for days. We also got to see an eagle up close. He flew right over the porch one morning while we were having breakfast and just stayed for a while. That was neat! Laura, I appreciate everything you and your husband did to make our visit so special. The Christmas tree was awesome and having access to the firewood was wonderful. We kept that fire going all the time. The house, the beds, the TABLE, the view, the animals, the old clothes, the pool table, the privacy, what a treat!! Thanks for the special memories!!!!
