The setting was nice, quiet, and peaceful. The lady with short hair at the winery lobby at check in was not very personable. When I walked up to say I was checking in, the only response was to look down at papers and hear her say 'Name.' For that much money it shouldn't be too much to ask to see a smile and hear, 'Welcome to Bear Creek we are glad you are here, may I have the reservation name please.'

Took my family out on a vacation. The property was well taken care of. The staff were personable and helpful. I hope to return some day as a getaway with my spouse. We took our kids on this trip and one of my children burnt a bag of popcorn causing the fire alarms to go off. So glad they were understanding and didn't kick us out.

The beds were soft. Our room didn't have a lock to get to the suite, only one of the bedrooms had a key for the wobbly door knob, we couldn't turn the temperature below a certain point because "it would freeze up", the vents were covered with furniture and another in the closet. Though we had a private hot tub, we had to go down 2 sets of stairs and through the lobby to get to it. Will not stay again.

Perfect Cozy Cabin in the Ozarks

We loved our post Christmas family vacation at Bear Creek Lodge Cabin Resort. The staff at the resort was friendly and accommodating. The location was beautiful and morning coffee on our balcony overlooking the trees and listening to wildlife play in the leaves was my favorite part. The Shaby Chic cabin was cozy and perfect for our family of 5. We would definitely stay here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bear Creek this past week. We stayed 3 nights in the Creekside cabin. The rustic cabin was the perfect size for our family of 4. The kitchenette offered everything we needed. Our boys loved the bunkbeds while we had our own king size bed. We enjoyed afternoon swims in the pool, conveniently just a few steps from our cabin, after our excursions in Springfield/Branson. The private hot tub also offered relaxing downtime. The property offered a quiet and peaceful retreat after seeing the areas attractions. I would highly recommend staying at Bear Creek and look forward to visiting it again in the future.

Biggest disappointment was when we checked in they made us pay more for our kids that wasn't posted on here. It was peaceful but the cabin we rented was actually a duplex with busted pipes. We coupd hear a repair man in the morning so i doubt our stay would have been so noise free of there was people staying on the other side. Could have been more amenities for the steep price.

A quiet, beautiful setting not too far from Branson. The room was clean and nicely decorated, and the people were very friendly. After a long day of keeping an 11 year old busy, it was nice to sit on the porch and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Great experience

This was an amazing trip! I plan on going here again. We had a great time and it’s just far away enough from downtown to be peaceful. But close enough to downtown that you don’t feel you have to drive forever to get there.

Bunkhouse Cabin

We stayed at the bunkhouse cabin, it seemed pretty new or recently remodeled, it was nice and cozy there were a few things I didn’t like, for one the lights were always dimmed and could not be adjusted, and the bed was king sized which was nice but very firm ( way to hard for me), the tv was way to small and only got about 10 channels on the dish which was horrible, but overall it was clean and the staff was really friendly..

Disapointing

We stayed for my sister's wedding. I was not impressed with the communication and organization for my sister's wedding. The owners and staff did not seem very accommodating. The check in time was very limited and well as was the breakfast time. There were so many leaves covering the ground that I could not see the wet rocks underneath the pathways which posed a slipping danger. I'm not sure why they would not take care of their grounds better for the safety of their visitors. All in all I have better stays at a normal hotel and probably won't go out of my way to stay at this place again especially for the price.
