Cozy Budget Stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Duck Harbor Resort. This charming stay was cozy and budget friendly. Pros: - Extremely budget-friendly without sacrificing comfort - Conveniently located near Branson, Missouri, and its numerous attractions - Easy access to interstate, gas stations, and Dollar General - Friendly locals and amazing pizza at the local spot - Accommodations matched (except for the futon) - Host was incredibly sweet, providing brand-new towels and linens as needed The only drawback was the futon, advertised as a double, was actually a single (if that). We resolved this by purchasing blow-up mattresses. Despite the town's aged appearance, which might seem creepy at first, everyone we met was warm and welcoming. Overall, we highly recommend Duck Harbor Resort for its coziness, affordability, and ideal location. Thank you to our wonderful host for creating a home-away-from-home experience!

Just ok
The owners are responsive and seem helpful. The bed is comfortable. But everything inside was very old and the AC did not reach the bedroom, so a box fan has to be used to draw air through. Some basic things were not provided, like coffee, salt/pepper, paper towel. With the cost being $67/night, I didn't have high expectations. But once you add in all the fees, I paid $110/night. Was not worth it.

Fine for what we needed
The property, like the town is showing its age, but the owners have put a good deal of effort into decorating and landscaping to make the most of it. Cottage was clean and well equipped. If you're wanting a simpleclean place to stay while fishing or Bransoning this will do ya!

Nice Clean Cabin!
The futon needs replaced with one like Cabin 4 so adults can sit on it! We brought our own lawn chair and pad so we could have something to sit in! Everything else was good! Cabin is nice and quiet! Thanks!

Nice Quiet retreat
We enjoyed our stay. It’s a nice comfortable stay. We had a puppy with us. We picked this place to be in a single unit because of the possibility of a crying dog. He did great. The location was a little bit farther than we would have like from Branson main strip but still ok. There is a loading dock if you have a boat, fishing and a food truck if you stay near the unit. The host was pleasant and responded quickly.

Great getaway
Stayed a full week and would definitely consider returning! Bed was comfortable, kitchen was sufficiently supplied, and outdoor deck had a view of the lake and boat slips. Our first day we did have a plumbing blockage issue, but it was attended to and fixed promptly. The only thing disturbing the peace was our own little pup! Sorry neighbors.

Very relaxing
We chose this rental to enjoy a peaceful and relaxing place to stay between the annual church meeting times that began Friday and ended on Sunday in Hurley, Mo. It served my wife 83, and myself 88 very well. Met and visited with some of the locals. The hosts were very kind and friendly.

Tranquility
My two pups and I enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Every evening we watched the fog roll in over the lake while we charcoaled grilled yummy food on the grill. The convenient location allowed us to explore Branson and Table lake while spending time at the cottage every evening. The amenities were included in our stay and Dollar General was only a mile away. Our bed was so comfy it was hard to get up in the morning. We loved it.

Perfection!
Quiet, clean, and everyone from the owner to other guests was so super friendly. We had issues on our end that affected the length of our stay, but I could have stayed for the rest of the summer if possible! That is what a lovely, friendly historic resort this is. Also, the beds were very very comfortable!

Great for fishing
They changed our cabin and didn’t tell us why. The cabin we got had a very small bathroom the sink blocked the doorway to get in the bathroom. Both my husband and myself had to squeeze in sideways with and the toilet was short and too close to the sink for knee room. I loved the gas stove and the open room with a separate bedroom. This is great for a fishing trip but only if your thin and short.

We had an older nice cabin that was alright for my husband and me with our two small dogs. We brought our food with us because there are not really any restaurants in the small town.
