We have been thrilled to host guests and work extra hard to ensure that Rivendell continues to be an ideal place for resting safely with your loved ones and team. At our home, you will be isolated from crowds and even neighbors. All the information you need is sent to you before your visit, so you won’t have to interact with anyone outside your group or family during your entire stay. When you reserve Rivendell, the home, 8+ acres of woods, and dock are all set apart FOR YOU. No other guests. No other visitors. Just you, your group…and lots of peace. \*\*\* Rest, space, privacy, peace....hiking, cold water fishing, wooded walks, family memories...we invite you to experience our prayer retreat home on a bluff overlooking Lake Taneycomo, Rivendell in Branson. Ideal for family reunions, staff meetings, retreats, luxurious vacations, golf outings, girls getaways, and those who want to hike and fish by day and relax in a hot tub by night... Our guests have asked to take our mattresses home, 'borrow' our original art :-), move in permanently...One tween hugged her mom and said, 'I feel like I'm a princess!!' Golfers rest between rounds near the grill or fireside for a game of chess. Fishermen hike down to the lake to our private dock to catch trout for lunch. Families walk through the woods and roast marshmallows over the firepit. Sun-lovers tan on the deck and then lounge in the hot tub... No need to worry about thin walls or loud neighbors or traffic noises...or people even knowing where you are! Our address is literally off the map, tucked away within 8+ acres, hidden by trees on 3 sides and Lake Taneycomo on the fourth. Though just 3.5 miles from Hwy 76, 6 miles from Branson Landing and minutes further to all the fun Branson offers, you may never want to leave once you pull in... Wake-up in your comfy bedroom (each one has a different theme!) to watch the deer in the morning. Warm-up to winter seated fireside by the Lord of the Rings chess set. Take a nature hike with loved ones. Enjoy laughter with family and friends around a grand dining table, over a game of shuffleboard, table bowling, foosball, arcade games, or with the Wii. Watch the sunset with a panoramic lake view on one of the decks. Relax in the 8 person hot tub or detox in the 2-person sauna before you say, 'good-night.' And end the day with a cup of your favorite coffee and a great book from Rivendell's house library as you sink into one of our fabulous chaises and chairs. Welcome to our retreat home. Every inch is devoted to spiritual rest and renewal. Welcome to a private haven hidden in the woods on Lake Taneycomo, a cold water fishing lake. Welcome to a resting space where no one can find you and no one is calling your name. And if you're still reading...here are five notes for you: 1\. Our home is county permit approved with an occupancy up to 20 guests. 2\. No amplified music or weddings are permitted because of how sound travels along the lake. 3\. This property sits atop a scenic bluff overlooking beautiful Lake Taneycomo, offering breathtaking views from the house and a tranquil escape at the dock below. Guests can access the private dock via a natural wooded trail, but please note that the hike is moderate and may be challenging for individuals with mobility issues or elderly guests. While trickier sections have stairs to assist, the trail includes uneven terrain and is not suitable for wheelchairs or strollers. The stunning sunset views from the dock are well worth the effort — a peaceful reward after your trek through nature! 4\. Our home is now 27 years old and every year we tackle a new project. In 2018, that was a new roof. In 2019, a new heating/air unit. And our focus in 2025 is brand new exterior paint, windows, a full path to the lake, and refreshed decks. 5\. Please note that our home is in the WOODS on a LAKE in the OZARKS. Dirt paths and wood stairs weave throughout the 8+ acres but if you're looking for a manicured arboretum, please keep looking. However, if you're up for some hiking, love the outdoors, and aren't bugged by bugs, you'll really enjoy exploring Rivendell's acreage! There's 7 park benches to discover, a creek bed to explore, and in the spring there's a little waterfall to find.

The morning view from the deck is amazing - gets a bit hot in the afternoon. The trip to the dock is a bit of a challenge but once you are on the dock, it is a delight and about 10 degrees cooler. Make sure you have a supply of bug spray as the chiggers are very "engaging". ##### Diane H. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donald D.

What we discovered was the property was better than advertised. In short, the home was stunning and provided our family a true “home” during our stay. The home and scenery were beautiful! We would highly recommend this property as a great retreat from the hustle and bustle of Branson Landing but still close to all that Branson has to offer. ##### Donald D.

This venue would be a perfect 10 for family gatherings except when you view 2 fireplaces on the website, you assume you can use them. Wished we could have used the fireplaces, as I love a fire in the cold weather, but the property manager made it clear that was not allowed. ##### Cheryl F.

Beautiful views and plenty of outdoor space to explore. The kids loved the old arcade game! The property managers were easy to get ahold of and worked with us through a few small issues. Gave it 4 stars vs 5 because all of the floors and rugs were not very clean. Overall, Our family made great memories here! ##### Megan F. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kara H.

It was even better in person than the photos! The location is ideal-quiet and secluded yet just a quick drive into town. The kitchen table is incredible, we could all fit at the same time!! The best parts of the home are the front porch and the deck! We spent the majority of our time just hanging out and enjoying the view. Plenty of games to keep us entertained as well. The host was very responsive when any questions or things came up. We look forward to returning again soon!! ##### Kara H. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Mary Q.

There was something for everyone…fishing, lots of games, roomy porch and decks, lots of bedrooms (almost enough for all 18 of us). The bad rain storm was unfortunate because the flooding came through the basement walls into the southeast bedroom. Luckily we were all at that time so we were able to clean up. ##### Mary Q.

Upon arrival everthing was clean and exactly as shown in the listing. We were able to spread out and enjoy ourselves. Not being right in town was very nice, too. The property was very serene. Angela was very patient with the signing of the contract as we were having some technical difficulty with my email. Even though this covered two holidays, she was always responsive and informative. I would book another stay at Rivendell if we return to Branson. ##### Lisa L. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Alicia H.

Dock is extremely hard to access. Basics like trashbags and dishwasher tablets not adequately provided. Wifi did not work, whirlpool tub would not hold water. Overall we enjoyed our time but for the cost, they need to update the house. ##### Alicia H. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deborah C.

We all wished we had more time to just hang out at the house! Love the big front porch and the decks out back. My husband and i walked down to the dock, beautiful! The directions at the very end were very hard to understand. There was no triple fork. Maybe something bright and easily visible needs to be put out near the correct road to take? We also couldnt find sheets for the pull out couch? All in all, i would bring my family back down to this gorgeous house. It was lovely, you guys did an awesome job. Thx, Debbie ##### Deborah C.

We had an amazing stay in this home. The owners have everything you need for your stay. We were so impressed. And it was so clean not a cobweb or bug in sight anywhere… and I looked pretty hard in the kids’ bunk bed room to make sure. We loved the views from the deck and the sunsets were spectacular. Unless you are in pretty good shape I wouldn’t recommend the hike to the dock though the owners have put in a lot of work adding wooden steps and clearing the path.Still it is steep. The dock is so nice to fish from though we didn’t have any luck we weren’t really prepared for trout fishing.The only suggestion I could make is to find a way to add a TV to the upstairs living area as my elder parents were not able to make it downstairs to the entertainment room. We enjoyed playing chess and checkers and the large kitchen dining table was great for games.We would stay again! ##### Ron P.
