The Cottages at Lake Shore, formerly known as Lakeshore Resort, is under new management with the same purpose: to provide families a place to come together, reconnect, and make memories, with the opportunity to unplug from the daily grind. The property has 11 newly renovated cottages as well as 8 brand new cottages that were completed in Summer 2023. The Cottages sit nestled on Lake Taneycomo, ideal for lake adventures, and is just miles from Branson’s entertainment district and attractions.
The Cottages at Lake shore is a very nice place to stay. We have been there several times, always a great experience. The new owners are pleasant, friendly and accomodating. We have stayed in the same cottage each time, as we like the roominess of the two bedroom, two bathroom. It is on the shores of Lake Taneycomo, a premiere trout fishing destination. The cottage is very nice, clean and comfortable. This resort is a very short drive to Branson Landing and all other attractions. Or you can enjoy this beautiful spot and watch the eagles across the lake. Of course there is a pool, and a nice playground area, also a large fire pit with lots of chairs. Sorry we didn't take pictures, I guess we were too busy relaxing!

Great accommodations, the kindest hosts, and amazing being right on the lake and near many Branson attractions!
We are so impressed by the cottages. We've stayed in many Branson accommodations, but this one stood out for how well they have thought of everything we might need and how well it's been updated. We came for a Silver Dollar City trip with kids and were so pleased that the lake front living provided a relaxing retreat after they'd gone to bed. Our kids really enjoyed the playground and being 5 minutes from parlor donuts. The kitchen was better supplied and stocked than any short term rental we've used before. Our bed was very comfortable and we all had plenty of space. It truly exceeded our expectations for Branson rentals.

My husband and I vacationed at Lakeshore Resort for five days. It was so delightful and the scenery was beautiful. It was the perfect place for a long-awaited vacation. The resort was located on Lake Taneycomo and the fall trees on property were colorful and extremely beautiful. The resort had a playground, docks to fish from, a campfire area and a picnic area. There was a small store and and bags of ice on property. We stayed in Cabin 4 and it was perfect for the two of us. The cabin had a kitchenette that was equipped with everything that we needed to eat our meals there. The cabin had the most comfortable king size bed, a Murphy bed and one bathroom with a combined tub and shower. We were impressed that our cabin was so clean and spotless. Several times we talked to the owners, Adam and Amanda. They shared Branson information with us that made our trip more enjoyable. They were always ready to help when needed. One thing that was so appealing to us was that the busy Branson scene was about 10 minutes away from Lakeshore Resort. After we finished seeing some shows and eating at restaurants, we would head back to the peace and quiet of Lakeshore Resort. It was so relaxing! We are already looking forward to bringing our entire family of 14 back to enjoy this beautiful resort. Thank you Adam and Amanda for your hospitality!!

My extended family and I have been coming here for the past 5 years. This was our first stay under the new ownership. Janna and all the staff are so friendly and welcoming and helpful whenever you need anything. Janna even brought down s’mores stuff for all the kiddos around the fire pit one night; so thoughtful! This place is great. My family rents out at least 7 units during our stays and we love how intimate the setting is where we can have fun and enjoy spending time together on the property. The fishing is fantastic and just steps away from each unit, making it so easy to enjoy often! The new ping pong table was a hit with the kids and the new pickle ball court is beautiful. I love how close this place is to all the Branson attractions but it doesn’t feel like you’re in the middle of town. It’s easy for each family to run out to an attraction if they want then gather back all together in the evenings. Plus the cold water of Taneycomo acts like an air conditioner in the evenings cooling the air making it comfortable to sit outside even in the dog days of summer when my family always comes. We look forward to continuing coming here for many years! My kids ask year round “When can we go back to ‘camp’?”

The Cottages at Lake Shore Drive are incredible! The front desk lady is so kind and when I walked into my cottage there was even a welcome basket with cookies! There are multiple docks to sit and read or fish at and it is so peaceful in the mornings. If you ever get the opportunity to go to the cottages at lake shore drive, it is a must!! It is a hidden gem and a fun getaway in Branson :)

We can't say enough about The Cottages at Lake Shore, starting with the Staff, JANNA!!! She is absolutely fabulous and so caring, she is the sweetest soul!! Made us feel right at home away from home! Felt right at ease upon arrival! The cookies are the best cookies ever! Perfect with coffee of the porch! The most comfortable, peaceful stay we have ever had on a vacay! So quiet and family friendly. Perfect living conditions, comfortable sleeping arrangements, the most BEAUTIFUL , peacful views, with a performance morning and evening put on by the magnificent Bald Eagles!!! Our favorite part of each day! Perfect dock sitting for fishing, reading or relaxing. Convenient parking, lots of activities, and Bagged Ice!!! Super convenient to Branson without all the traffic, minutes from the Landing, a quiet little suburb away from all the chaos! We will definitely be back and this will always be our go to place to stay!

I had an excellent experience at the Cottages at Lakeshore. The staff are extremely helpful and kind. The view from the cottage was beautiful and there was plenty of seating on the docks to enjoy the sunsets at night. There was also a bonfire available each night. Overall, I had a great stay and would highly recommend to anyone wanting to visit Branson.

We have been coming to this resort for the past5 years and were initially concerned about the recent change in ownership. These concerns were completely dispelled once we stayed there again. The new management is great (friendly, helpful, efficient). This resort has been improved in a variety of ways, but still retains that serene lakeshore vibe that attracted us in the first place. We hope to return for many years to come.

This was a new place to stay for us, we have been going to to Branson for many years. I spoke to Amanda several times on the phone before we arrived and she was very nice and helpful. We met Adam at check-in, also extremely welcoming. The resort is well-kept with different size accomodations. Our cabin faced Lake Taneycomo, wonderful views and we saw several eagles. Our cabin was super clean and was furnished and decorated very nicely. It has quick access to the Branson Landing, downtown and the Hwy 76 strip. But when you come back to the resort it is quiet and peaceful. Our parking was right next to our cabin.

We have been staying at this resort since before it changed owners. We were not disappointed by the new ownership. Service, cleanliness, price...everything was really good. If you want a great place to stay, especially if being on the lake to fish or just enjoy the lake, this is the place for you.

We do not rent boats directly from the resort. But renting a boat is very easy! We recommend Scottys trout dock as they are just right up the way and have a wide variety of boats to rent! You can rent from Scottys and dock at either of our two docks here at lakeshore!
There are more places to choose from in the Branson area.
