Hunter's Friend Resort Near Table Rock Lake

Dont get me started. For them to call this a resort is a crime. And for it to have Excellent ratings is very fishy. It is an old run down motel that was probably built in the 60s. Somehow I didnt look at all the pictures. I guess I went off the words, resort and the high rating and got duped. Our extended family come to Branson every Thanksgiving holiday and are used to staying at nice condos for around 10 people and I really screwed up on this one and you dont want a lot of mad women on vacation. We had a room upstairs with 3 beds and a room downstairs with 2 beds. The stairs to get upstairs were scary and the balcony felt unstable.. The bathroom was so small and narrow, you could only get one person in and you almost had to turn sideways to get in. The water had a strong sulfur smell. Our refrigerator didnt work. The tv only had a few channels (no ESPN, Disney, etc). My wife complained about the bed, saying she felt like she was going to roll down on me. Friday night, we were the only car in the parking lot and we got there around 10 pm. There were other vehicles Saturday night.

These are some of the cleanest rooms I have ever stayed in!!! I have a habit of always checking rooms before unloading the kids and let me tell you not only did it smell fresh but this room was spotless! Clean beds. They had bed bug protectors on pillows and mattresses!! And yes I look all around. I even checked in cabinets and behind the toilet, in sink, toilet,tub etc. They provided us with extra blankets and towels at request which was nice considering we are a family of 6. The owners live on site and they come with a super sweet golden retriever! They have an outdoor patio and stayed up with us for hours just chatting away! The pool was clean and deep! Even had some pool toys to play with! They had huge tvs and cable And even had a large selection of dvds in the office. There is a small play set and a convenience store right across the road. Its quiet and peaceful in this area at night. I was actually pretty sad the owners werent in the building when we checked out bc I was looking forward to thanking them and saying our goodbyes!!! They provide Grills and cute outdoor furniture indoors and out!!! This is a very cute place and the owners are amazing!!! We will definitely recommend to others!!!!! Thankyou for the wonderful stay!!!! Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou!!! Hope to stay again

If your planning on staying here bc you want to have quick access to the lake you can forget about it! Their is no land around this area that isnt private property. We couldnt find any trails and they wont even let u access the beach without paying first!The only complaint I have about this particular room #3 is the bathrooms are very small. And practically have to step into the bath tub to shut door behind you or even get dressed. Would not be idea for a larger person. And our room had connecting rooms to #4 and Ill just say if you like peace and quiet than I wouldnt choose this room. If u like to sleep in or dont want to hear ur neighbors babies crying at 7am I would maybe suggest a different type of room. Our kids sleep in and we were not able to sleep in bc the bed was right next to the conjoined door and we could hear their baby crying which in turn woke all of us up! All 3 nights which was very disappointing. Their was a family who rented the room upstairs for themselves and left the child in the room downstairs! Very annoying and frustrating in my opinion! I would also like to add that the water here is boiling hot! Like it burns the skin off your fingers. We had to turn off the hot water underneath the sink to avoid our two year old from burning herself! Maybe they can just turn down the water heater temperature. The playground was a little rough. Parts of the slide and wood had loose bolts and plastic sticking up which made it kind of sketch for my 2 year old. Also they should add some gravel or sand under swing-set bc it was just full of mud.. oh and they do not provide pool towels but they had some for sale in the office for 6 dollars but they were full size towels so it was a fair price.
