It doesn’t get much cozier than this Branson cottage rental! With 3 king-size bedrooms suites, a private container pool, two covered decks, and a surprise or two, Mini Thistle welcomes your small group to Table Rock Lake.
Prepare to be enchanted by Mini Thistle, an exceptional stay for 10 guests on Table Rock Lake.
From the private container pool and game room… to the lake-view decks and EV charger… and even a secret, tucked-away reading nook… your entire group will thank you for booking this gem in Branson.
At Mini Thistle, 3 charming bedroom suites across 3 floors provide privacy and perks like flat-screen TVs and king-size beds. Plus there’s an attached, en-suite bath for every single bedroom.
For extra guests, one of the bedrooms has a king sofa bed in addition to the regular bed, and there’s a second king-size sofa bed in the family room.
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.
NOTE: This home has 3 additional bedrooms and 3 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 3 beds/baths to your reservation, please see our listing for the entire Thistle Cottage.
Family bonding never felt so elegant-yet-cozy. The spacious Great Room is a beauty, with its high, beamed ceilings, velvet green sofas, and a flickering gas fireplace. Nearby, a dining area for 12+ is the setting for your unforgettable family feast—or epic board game—right next to the sliding glass doors to the upper deck.
Speaking of the upper deck: the lake view to the left is just awesome, an unobstructed panorama from your elevated vantage point. Watch the boats from a comfy spot on the plush outdoor sofas, and eat burgers from the Weber grill at the outdoor dining table for 6.
On the lower deck is a Mini Thistle highlight… a private, heated container pool, 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 Claymore Cottage.

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.
