The hype
Beautiful lake views and spacious rooms, but the property shows its age and the soundproofing is practically non-existent.
Westgate Branson Lakes Resort
$105-$280/ notte
Prenota se You want a family-friendly, lakefront retreat with full kitchens and plenty of activities, but don't mind being 25 minutes away from the main Branson strip.
Perché piace così tanto
- Stunning views of Table Rock Lake right from the balconies
- Spacious villas equipped with full kitchens and washer/dryers
- Great on-site amenities including mini-golf, indoor/outdoor pools, and a basketball court
In sintesi: It's a scenic, amenity-packed timeshare property, which means you'll get lots of space but might have to dodge sales pitches, paper-thin walls, and occasional housekeeping misses.
Recensito da @audreytravelnow: My stay at Westgate Branson Lakes Resort was the perfect balance. I loved hitting the shows in town, but coming back to my quiet villa on Table Rock Lake was everything. The screened balcony view was my favorite part of the trip!

Suggerimenti degli Insider
- ✨
Skip the timeshare presentation by unplugging your room phone if they keep calling.
- ✨
Top floor rooms are essential here—the floorboards are notoriously squeaky and you will hear every step from upstairs.
- ✨
Bring your own coffee and creamer; the provided packets are often old or insufficient.
5 cose da sapere prima di partire
💡The walls are so thin you can hear your neighbors' conversations and their TVs.
💡The resort is actually in Hollister, not Branson, which means a quieter vibe but a longer drive to the shows.
💡Housekeeping is not daily unless requested, and they've been known to strip rooms early on checkout day.
💡The indoor pool has heavy chlorine levels that can sometimes burn your eyes.
💡There is no boat parking on-site despite being a lakefront resort; you have to use a nearby marina.
