Tanglewood Lodge

We loved the family atmosphere, such a neat vintage place. The owners are very nice and helpful with information of things to do in the area.

My family and I have been coming to Tanglewood Lodge, for 15+ years, for so many reasons. First off, the host family that operates the lodge has a friendliness and courtesy that is unmatched. Anything you need while staying there, they will provide. Second, the location and the actually facilities: THIS IS NOT A 4-5 STAR LUXURY COMPLEX....that being said.....this fact is all part of the charm. Located on the east side of Taneycomo, it's nestled in a wooded location, away from the hustle of the town and the strip...with a morning and evening view to die for. Boat ramp, covered Boat dock and fishing area is extremely convenient, with chairs, fish nets, and a cleaning station for your catch. Up by your rooms, they have plenty of picnic tables and charcoal grills if you feel like serving up dinner for you and the family. Third, the location has a great pool, basketball court and I hear they might be putting a hot tub in soon. Fire pit with always available wood; horse shoe pit. Nicely equipped with activities if you just chose to stay put for your stay. Forth, the rooms: NOT A 5 STAR...DON'T EXPECT IT. That being said, the rooms are more than comfortable for our needs, and come equipped with a fridge, stove top, recliner and couch, flat screen tv, free wi-fi that works great, coffee maker, salt and pepper shakers, plenty of pots and pans...and old style lodge feel and all of it just adds to the charm of the place. Front desk has endless pamphlets for in-town activities, as well as a great bait and tackle shelf for your trout fishing needs. Parking has never been an issue, even when we drag our boat up from Oklahoma. Some folks want an updated, luxury spot when they visit Branson....We, and countless others, could care less. This spot is an old-time lodge feel, right on the lake, with fantastic ammenities for our needs, and a quiet and relaxing, wooded location that we go to EVERY YEAR, and can't wait to plan our next visit to. Rates DID go up SIGNIFICANTLY, but, being in the real estate business myself, you can't blame them for bringing these rates up to market value and to be a competitive business in the branson area. My family and I will be Tanglewood guests....FOREVER.
