Your own private mini-lodge for 8 people and 2 dogs, Mini Claymore provides all the greatest hits of a Branson getaway, plus some unexpected extras.

Start the day with a coffee on one of two covered decks and take in lovely sunrise views of Table Rock Lake and the neighborhood. 

Then go for a cooling mid-day dip in the private heated container pool on the lower deck—complete with a glass front for Mermaid photoshoots. 

Even better? Because it’s heated, you can use it even when it’s chilly out. This feature is unique to Branson Family Retreats—you’ll find it only here and at our neighboring Thistle Cottage.

Your group will love having 3 deluxe bedroom suites to choose from, all with king-size beds, luxurious sheets, and their own attached baths. Thoughtfully curated decor throughout Mini Claymore brings a touch of Scottish history to the Ozarks.

The accessible main level (including an accessible bedroom + bathroom), combined with a ramp for easy Cottage access, means everyone in your family can join the fun.

Vacationing with a larger group? Book the whole Claymore Cottage for 5 bedrooms sleeping up to 12 people.

NOTE: This home has 2 additional bedrooms and 2 baths on the lower level, which are not included in this listing and will be unoccupied and locked off during your stay. If you would like to add the 2 beds/baths to your reservation, please see our listing for the entire Claymore Cottage.  

If you’re visiting outside of summer—a great choice; the off-season is lovely!—pile onto the caramel leather sofas around the stone electric fireplace in the Great Room and share stories over cocktails or hot cocoa.

Send your kids (or husbands) to the family room for a game of pool or a movie and tell the stories you skip when they’re around. 🙂 

At dinner time, the kitchen is a dream to cook in. It’s well-equipped with appliances both large and small, and a roomy center island allows for easy prep work.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was our 2nd time with Tyann and Nat. Great house!!!

We only left the house twice and spent the rest of the time with the grand kids, swimming (pool was awesome and heated to 98 degrees and was 32 degrees outside). They were in it multiple times a day, the pool table/foosball was used regularly as well.

The wife cooked (everything is in the kitchen, you’ll ever need, and nice cooking pans.)

Great time and we are going to be back for the 3rd time this summer with Tyann and Nat.

Thank you two for being the best host with the most and always answering when it was evening a simple or stupid question I/we had.

Swimming Pools

The outdoor pool is awesome: Splash pad, lounge area, and the swimming area. Open roughly end of May through end of September.

The indoor pool is open year round and has both a large pool and a kiddie pool.


Walk to the lake

Hike down to the lake from our neighborhood! It’s about a 3 minute walk, but wear good shoes as it’s a dirt path. Watch this quick video to see the path at 7x speed.


Boat parking

This neighborhood does not have parking for boats, trailers, buses or RVs. However, there is a secure parking/storage located next to the neighborhood where you can reserve a boat parking spot for during your stay. Contact Heartland Storage directly to reserve your boat’s spot.


Need more space?

Book one or several to accommodate your multi-generational family. See all our Rocky Shores cabins here.

Rocky Shores is just up the road from one of our favorite coves to hang out in for swimming and fishing. In addition, it has great parking and you can rent a golf cart nearby if you prefer to do the local thing. 

Note that golf carts can only go between the cove and the neighborhood. You cannot take the golf carts anywhere else.
