Lake House Decorating Ideas
See our lake house before and after filled with easy-to-do ideas!
Such a great list! We have a condo on Table Rock Lake (we call it Lake Life Retreat Branson) that we rent out on Airbnb. Some of our best memories have been at these lakefront restaurants! I’ll have to check out some that we’ve never visited before. Thank you!
Well hello, neighbor!

Ann Hoette
You’re too sweet! I hope to see you again soon!
I seriously wish I had this list when we went down a few weekends ago!! I plan on going back in three years, so I’m definitely going to save this one for the future.
I absolutely love the name of your little cottage!!
Thank you! I hope you enjoyed your stay! If you need any other recommendations when you go, let me know!
I think all of the restaurants you mentioned will send a golf cart down for us 80 year olds. Thank you for this info.
That’s so great to note, thank you, Shirley!
