Your own private mini-lodge for up to 12 people plus dogs, Claymore Cottage provides all the greatest hits of a Branson getaway, plus some unexpected extras.
Start the day with a coffee on one of two covered decks and take in lovely sunrise views of Table Rock Lake and the neighborhood.
Then go for a cooling mid-day dip in the private heated container pool on the lower deck—complete with a glass front for Mermaid photoshoots.
Even better? Because it’s heated, you can use it even when it's chilly outside. This feature is unique to Branson Family Retreats—you’ll find it only here and at our neighboring Thistle Cottage.
Depending on the weather:
- Summer temperature is 84-86 degrees (roughly end of May to mid September)
- Rest of the year the temperature is 97-99 degrees for your stay (mid September until end of the year school holidays and again mid March to just before the end of May)
- Container pool is CLOSED from January to early March (neighborhood indoor pool is OPEN)
Your group will love having 5 deluxe bedroom suites to choose from, all with king-size beds, luxurious sheets, and their own attached baths.
The accessible main level (including an accessible bedroom + bathroom with grab bars and transition shower), combined with a ramp for easy Cottage access, means everyone in your family can join the fun.
Thoughtfully curated decor throughout Claymore Cottage brings a touch of Scottish history to the Ozarks.
Vacationing with a larger group? Double the fun and rent Claymore Cottage together with the next-door property, Thistle Cottage, to sleep a total of 28 people.
If you’re visiting outside of summer—a great choice; the off-season is lovely!—pile onto the caramel leather sofas around the stone gas fireplace in the Great Room and share stories over cocktails or hot cocoa.
Send your kids (or husbands) to the family room for a game of pool or a movie and tell the stories you skip when they’re around. 🙂
At dinner time, the kitchen is a dream to cook in. It’s well-equipped with appliances both large and small, and a roomy center island allows for easy prep work.

We had a great time and would highly recommend this cabin.
The cabin was fantastic. It was clean spacious and had everything we needed. Our cabin had the pool on the patio. The water was warm and the kids loved it. It had a nice view told the lake.
Check in was very easy. The hosts communicated many details leading up to the stay which made finding the house and checking in a smooth process.

Loved the stay!
Our group had a fantastic visit at the Claymore Cottage in Branson! The home is decorated beautifully and stocked with everything imaginable for a great stay. Our hosts provided a full guide to the area, home, and even had welcome gifts for us! I highly recommend Claymore Cottage and Branson Family Retreats!

Couldn't ask for more
Claymore was perfect for our recent retreat at Table Rock Lake! We hosted a group retreat in four of Branson Family Retreats' cottages, and our guests loved this home. It had everything we needed (and more), and the king suites were game-changers, giving everyone a place to retreat and recharge.
Tyann and Nat were also incredible hosts, and their local expertise made our travels that much easier and more special. We can't recommend Branson Family Retreats enough!
When the family arrived, the house was beautiful and clean. We had a beautiful view of the lake The host delivered donuts that evening and had a cute gift on the table. The family enjoyed the canister pool, pool table and foosball table. The family and the small kids enjoyed the Outdoor pool and the splash pad. The host was very friendly and helpful throughout the stay. I would highly recommend this place.

Great family Vacation
Claymore Cottage is the Best. The accommodations were perfect, The size of the Claymore Cottage
was perfect, we had 11 folks in our party and had plenty of room to spread out. The pool on the bottom level was perfect to unwind after a day at Silver Dollar City. Nat and Tyann accommodated our needs completely. Having a bathroom for each room made it easy for the entire party. The size of the great room with a perfect view and the 5 bedrooms were excellent. Its located close to everything and reasonably priced. If you're looking for a great family get a way this is it. We will be heading back to Branson Family retreats.
This property did not disappoint! From its cleanliness, to having all of the amenities, the the game room downstairs, and its proximity to the lake we were thrilled with our decision to choose this property. It had everything we needed. Room for us and all of our kids, views of the lake, a private soaking pool…and just enough time for us to get a way and reconnect. We booked with ease, received all of our check in information with plenty of time to spare, and we were in constant communication with the rental team if we needed anything - loved the house. Loved the location. Will absolutely rent again.

Seriously cool vacation home
Our teenagers and family were thrilled to find a vacation home built and set up for families like ours! With large beds for our teenagers, everyone with their own bathroom, dining table we could all sit together at (plus dining on the deck), and the absolutely gorgeous interior design -- this has been one of our favorite stays ever.
The private container pool was such a hit with our family, being able to dip in the cool waters during the scorching July heat. Plus the pool table, foosball, big screen TV, and those lake views.
We took a vote and think the knight should be named Sir Claymore. Looking forward to staying again soon!

All family members greatly enjoyed the accommodations at Claymore Cottage.
We had a family of 10 adults on our 4 night stay, and the Claymore Cottage had more than ample room. The cottage was in great condition and very well maintained. While we did not use the private pool, we did spend a lot of time on the upper deck which had a nice view of the lake. The only slight drawback (which does not affect my 5 star rating) was that the cottage is 'off the beaten path', but in some ways that is good because it provides a more peaceful, quieter environment. We would definitely return. Also, a shout out to Nat and Tyann, managers of property. While I never met them personally, they provided good information on all things leading up to our stay and relative to the Branson/Hollister area. Thanks to both of you.

Beautiful and Comfy
Great home to stay in while visiting Branson. The kitchen was well equipped with great appliances, dishes, glasses, silverware and coffee cups etc. The home was very clean and had beautiful counter tops, cabinets, flooring and bathrooms were up to date. The two decks ( upper and lower) were comfortable and had a great view of the lake. They were equipped with a table and chairs for eating out and a sofa, loveseat, chair and tables for relaxing. The lower deck had a pool and chairs to relax as well. The pool table and foosball were a fun time in the evening. Also the washer and dryer were easy to use and did a great job.
My advice is go to Branson Family Retreats and view Claymore House and read about Nat and Tyann they get the job done well !!

What An Amazing Place
I was delighted to be a guest at Claymore Cottage while on a recent retreat. The home was exceptionally clean, seemed to be newer construction, and was beautifully decorated. There were stunning views of Table Rock Lake and nice big outdoor decks both upstairs and down.
The downstairs floor had a wonderful game room with a pool table! On the upstairs deck we had our own private pool!
The house is designed with nice big bedrooms and their own en suite bathrooms! This was particularly wonderful for privacy. The large bed was so comfortable and the large window had black out drapes which is always appreciated in the early morning hours. The large bathroom was stocked with beautiful linens and a wonderful shower with a built in bench.
The kitchen was perfectly equipped and the large great room and dining room off the kitchen were perfect for gatherings with the open space design.
I truly enjoyed my stay in this luxurious cottage. The hosts thought of every small detail from an ironing board to blow dryers and toiletries in the bathroom, to extra storage and luggage racks in the closets.
I would love the opportunity to visit lovely Claymore Cottage again! What a perfect space for family gatherings or for a quiet getaway!

outstanding service and communication.
The entire experience was excellent. from the time we initially booked the reservation until we left was all about service and making our stay as easy and fun as possible. The house was clean well maintained, fully stocked and great location. the private pool was a hit and the closeness to the outdoor and indoor pools convenient. The owners went above and beyond in providing us with information about the area, discounts and their favorite spots. There was a time when there was no water for several of the houses. I called early in the morning to let the owners know and the problem was fixed within 2 hours. In addition, they dropped off cases of bottled water and snacks to ease the inconvenience. Impressive. We would stay here again without hesitation.

A Five-Star Stay from Start to Finish
We had an amazing stay! The house was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had incredible views. The beds were extremely comfortable, and the sheets and pillows felt luxurious—some of the best we’ve experienced in a vacation rental.
What really stood out was the attention to detail. Every room had a multi-outlet charging adapter, luggage racks, plenty of hangers, and ample space to unpack and store belongings. These are small touches that are often overlooked, but they made a huge difference and showed that the hosts truly understand what guests need.
The entertainment options were fantastic as well. The TVs were large and available in every room, and the game setup with the pool table, foosball table, and other activities kept both the kids and adults entertained throughout our stay.
The highlight was definitely the pool attached to the deck. It was easy to open and close, maintained at the perfect temperature, and provided a great way to spend a cool evening. The kids absolutely loved it.
Overall, this property exceeded our expectations in every way. These hosts clearly know what they’re doing and have created an exceptional guest experience. We will absolutely look for properties managed by this company again in the future. Highly recommend!
