Welcome to Branson Memories & Lodging

Forget your worries in MAJESTIC VIEWS - High in the Branson hills, it doesn't get better than watching the sun go down from our porch swing or the rocking chairs on the back porch of our Dancing Bear Ranch. You can listen to the flowing water run from our two streams and watch the deer graze in the valley nearly every evening. We are truly proud of this special place and can't wait to share the experience with you and your family at this spacious and serene space.

FAMILIES WELCOME - We put great care into providing an exceptional stay for families of all sizes. It starts by providing baby gates and child-friendly dinnerware and sealable containers for food on the go. We have a younger-kids-oriented play area to keep kids entertained and plenty of space for them to play. This three-level home provides multiple separate living areas! Plenty of room for adults, teens, and children to have their fun in different areas,  but enough space in the open floor plan to bring the whole clan together!

OUTDOOR ENTERTAINMENT - One of the things that separates Dancing Bear Ranch from the rest, is that it sits on private property that is yours alone to enjoy during your stay. Taking a walk down to the spring-fed creek on the property is one of our favorite little excursions. Along with the private pool area, outdoor hot tub, and fire pit, you can enjoy the best of what Ozarks has to offer. 

IN-HOME ENTERTAINMENT - When it's time to bring the fun inside, this custom lodge offers the best for both rest and entertainment. The large open floor plan offers multiple living areas with lots of room, so there is always a place to get away for rest or fun. The game room includes shuffleboard, ping pong tables, air hockey, and a 400 arcade game console. In our large main living area, we’ve included cards and board games that will provide fun for the whole group! For the serious card players, take it upstairs to our exclusive gaming nook featuring a Brunswick poker table, chips, & cards. There is truly entertainment for everyone at the Dancing Bear Ranch!

LAKE ACTIVITIES - Table Rock Lake is known as the Ozark's premier locale for beautiful views, water sports, and fishing. Many of Branson's 9 million visitors per year come to enjoy its beauty. For those bringing boats on the trip, we have plenty of room for boat parking.

 AREA ATTRACTIONS - When you visit Branson, Missouri, there is truly a great time for everyone. Spend a day on Table Rock Lake, visit the world-renowned Silver Dollar City theme park, visit one of the many great shows or museums, or play a round of golf. Branson is quickly becoming one of America's premier golf destinations, hosting PGA tour events and boasting courses designed by the world's greatest players such as Tiger Woods. If some shopping is in order, Branson Landing or Tanger outlets are sure to provide all of the specialty shops and big-name brands on your list! Top it all off with a relaxing visit to the spa, or bring things back to the lodge and watch the sun go down with a soak in the jacuzzi.  Branson Missouri combines all of the entertainment you're looking for without the stress and price tag of all those big-city destinations. 

 KITCHENS - This home boasts two kitchens, one on the main floor and another on the lower level. Both kitchens are fully stocked and ready for use. Both kitchens contain large double-door refrigerators along with dishes, cookware, pots, pans, and everything else you'll need to entertain the biggest groups! The main dining area seats a total of 18 people and consists of two tables that together seat 16, and 2 bar stools at the island.  There is additional seating in the living room and an additional 8-seat dining table in the downstairs living area. Anytime you want to take the meal outside, we have seating out on the wraparound porch and chairs on the back patio as well.

Dancing Bear Ranch offers a stunning, spacious retreat that perfectly combines comfort and privacy, making it an ideal setting for family gatherings and memorable celebrations.

This house and property was incredible. Even better than the pictures and description depicted! We recommended to friends already!

If you are looking for private, and peaceful and enjoy outdoor views, the horse, wildlife, pond and backdrop is peaceful.

We had a great time in the beautiful expansive house and enjoyed so many parts of the place, like the pool, game room, fire pit, walking around the property, swinging on the wrap around porch, and so many others.  We also found some fun things to do in the area, like the tiger sanctuary. The house was large enough for our extended family to be all together at times and spread out other times.  It was a great house to make some wonderful memories.  The house was well kept and the wifi provided, allowed us to connect easily.  It is in a very peaceful setting and Michelle was very helpful.  Would highly recommend The Dancing Bear!

This place was well above what we expected.  Very clean and absolutely gorgeous.  Michelle always kept us updated and communicated with us on everything we needed to know. We will absolutely rent this place again. Our favorite place so far!!!

Dancing Bear is a beautiful property with amazing amenities, and Michelle is a wonderful host who is very responsive. Our family of 14, ages 2 to 70, had an amazing multi-generational trip and made great memories. If you are looking for a house with plenty of space for everyone to sleep comfortably and come together for family dinners, card games, and pool time, this is your place!
