My inlaws live in Springfield, MO and are celebrating their 35th wedding anniversary with a party in two weeks. We would like to surprise them with a weekend at a B&B or Lodge type place in the Branson/Table Rock area. Any suggestions?? We would like to keep the cost under $200/night but a little bit more might be okay. I think they would enjoy someplace with a beautiful view and maybe a hot tub. Any and all suggestions welcome! TIA!

We stayed at the Big Cedar Lodge this summer and loved it. It is on the shores of Table Rock Lake. Weekend availability might be difficult to secure and expensive. I did a quick look on their website for weekday lodging in mid-September and you can get a cottage with jacuzzi for $220 night. A room in one of the lodges is under $200. We really enjoyed our stay here. We stayed at the Falls Lodge and had a beautiful view of the lake. The staff was very helpful, so if you give them a call they might be able to help with your specific requests. Hope you find a great place for your inlaws.

(this is not IN the town of branson, but nearby.)

Ditto Big Cedar.
I p&m'd when I first heard our annual meeting was going to be held there...now I want to go back! >-

Thanks! I will look into Big Cedar.... are there any B&B recs that are upscale?

My first choice would be Big Cedar Lodge as it is wonderful, but also can recommend Chateau on the Lake as it was very nice also.
