| This place was as beautiful as the website portrays it. The house is wonderfully clean. Bruce and Margie made everything so easy. We had such a great time. The treasure hunt was fun. Most of all, we just enjoyed the peace and quiet. We are all looking forward to our next stay at The Refuge. |

| Wow, what an amazing weekend. We stayed at the Refuge and were truly blessed. The cabin was roomy, comfortable, extra clean ... no detail was left untouched. The hosts were also super friendly and super accomodating. We had a couple of crises and they went out of their way to help us. A truly lovely couple. If you are looking for a peaceful get-away, this is the place to be. Tucked away in the trees, you will never want to leave. Thanks for an amazing weekend! |

I just wanted to send a big thank you to both Margie and Bruce. They have created an excellent place for people to get away and refresh themselves. I enjoyed being able to experience all that Branson had to offer during the day, and then come back to the serenity of Tall Pines during the evening. My husband, Charlie, and I appreciated being able to take our dogs for walks in the wooded acreage and enjoyed all the natural beauty that surrounds the Refuge. Margie provided a list of recommendations for restaurants and activities in the Branson area. We especially enjoyed the local restaurant called Carla’s. We had an excellent breakfast for a good price. Our only difficulty was in leaving – no one wanted to go. Hopefully we will be able to return soon.

| We stayed at the Refuge over New Years Eve 2009. I can't really say enough good things about this place. It is absolutely gorgeous! It exceeded all of our expectations... the pictures of the website were impressive, but in person, it was amazing. There were 6 adults and 2 dogs in our party, and everyone had a wonderful time. The owners, Margie & Bruce were extremely accommodating & friendly. The appliances & amenities are very stylish and clean. The beds were comfortable, the hot tub was wonderful, the grounds vast & secluded. We used all 3 of the fireplaces at various times, and they made the whole house warm and cozy. We will, without a doubt, be returning to this hidden gem. It was heartbreaking to leave & we seriously considered staying another day! We can't wait to see it in the summertime! |

| The Refuge is absolutely beautiful. We were greeted with electric candles in each window when we arrived. The home is very comfortable; the bed in the master loft is heavenly. We spent a lot of time on the deck, "listening" to the quiet of the woods (as well as the falling acorns!). The hot tub felt great after a long day of riding our motorcycles. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking. Little added touches such as coffee, a basket of snack items, and a plethora of informational brochures about the area, were much appreciated. Thanks so much for sharing your lovely home. We look forward to returning some day. |

| We wanted a quiet getaway before sending our two boys off to college and we transition into "empty nesters". The Refuge was so homey, comfortable and welcoming that we didn't want to leave and have vowed to return. The details that were put into this rental far surpassed any other. We loved the privacy, but one of our favorite memories will be sleeping in the screened-in sleeping porch during a rainstorm!! Thanks for sharing your lovely property with us. |

| The Refuge was absolutely beautiful and exceeded our expectations. The cabin was updated, clean and the grounds were also well cared for. We were as close as we wanted to be to the Branson attractions and enjoyed the quiet evenings and early mornings sitting on the deck. The lake is also very close. We had a great time and our only regret is that we did not stay longer! |

| We absolutely loved The Refuge. The cabin is beautiful! I would definately recommend booking an extra day or two so you have enough time to fully enjoy everything The Refuge has to offer. |

| This place is amazing!! We highly recommend it. It was so peaceful and had everything we could ever need. It was about 20 minutes from all the activity which was perfect. We had 10 in our group which included three under the age of three. It was the ideal amount of space for us all. Thank you Bruce and Margie for a fabulous getaway for our family! |
