We love everything about Driftwater resort. Just far enough away from the strip, but close enough at the sametime. The cabins are clean, cozy, and just downright perfect. The grounds are perfect for fishing, playing catch, or just relaxing by the fire. Looking forward to our next visit.
Great place to spend a week. Property is very well taken care of and our room (#8) was perfect. The staff was very accommodating whenever we needed them. Fishing dock was great. Will definitely return to Driftwater Resort!
We stayed in cabin #5 for a week! The cabin itself was very nicely updated and EXTREMELY clean! We came with our 16 month old son so cleanliness is very important to us! The staff is out maintaining the property daily. Nothing is ever out of place! Wonderful resort with a wonderful group of people that run it! Will for sure be back next year for our annual Branson trip!!
Great relaxing place to stay. The owners are very friendly & helpful. We didn’t have any issues except the fold out couch. The mattress needs to be replaced or a mattress topper would be nice. The 2 separate bedrooms had very comfortable beds. Very clean kitchen & accommodating. Would definitely stay here again.
We love the Driftwater! The cabins that were available were smaller than we were used to… having stayed at the Driftwater 4 years previously, but the private deck and table & chairs made up for it We enjoyed our stay nevertheless! The view was great, as well as the docks … the grounds and facilities were well kept. Not to mention a magnificent free laundry & a great gift shop/ Bait shop. Property/landscape maintenance is always considerately performed at appropriate times. The neighborhood dog Blue and the deer and the armadillos and the bald eagles were adorable It is an amazing and enchanting place! We really appreciate Dave & Crystal and the rest of the crew! We shall return!
The cabin we had (#5) was very accommodating. We had 4 adults and a 4 year old along. The grounds and layout of the resort were very well maintained. Very family friendly. The docks are large were very nice to fish off of and there are two to choose from. My only complaint is that there is a lot of moss or grass build up right out in front of the docks which made fishing a little more challenging. Otherwise a very nice resort to stay at. Highly recommend!
We absolutely loved Driftwater Resort. Just enough off the busy Branson path to enjoy some peaceful beauty of the area. The property was kept very nice. The rooms were very comfortable and clean. I have a special needs son and usually need the amenities of a kitchen and laundry. All was perfect for us. We enjoyed some fishing and the owners were very accommodating and helpful down to tips on trout fishing. I would definitely stay here again! 5 stars in everything!
We had such a incredible relaxing time enjoying the wild life, the waterfront view and the condo. My friends and I have stayed here at Driftwater resort every time we come and the owner's are so very friendly and helpful in making our stay a incredible time. We love staying here as well with my family. We will always come back and you should to if your ever in Branson book with them you won't regret it.
