We loved staying in this beautiful and spacious home. It was the perfect place for my family to create an incredible memory. The home was a great way to continue the getaway with an amazing game room, hot tub, and so much more. The space allowed a large group to get together without feeling like we were on top of each other. We left with a family memory to cherish forever.

Well appointed and crispy clean cabin. The kitchen was well stocked with everything to cook for our large group, and a good charcoal BBQ to grill on. The cabin is massive and so is the TV in the theater room with a good sound system. Plenty of games for the kids and minutes from Silver Dollar City which was nice not to have to sit in traffic. Views of the lake from the private hot tub. Highly recommend. We will be back to stay here again

We had a great time at the Happy Mallard! Very clean and everything as stated! Kitchen was well equipped and adequate cold storage. Very roomy and everything was in working order. Hot tub snd pool table were a huge hit!

Home is amazing - view is amazing (minus the construction which will soon be gone). Was super excited that it was handicapped accessible, as I have a disabled sister that got to come along but I do suggest the entrance into the home (door) is also equipped with a ramp as getting into the home with a wheelchair was difficult. Had a great time and will be going back if the opportunity ever arises.

Our family loved this house!! The game room was awesome!! All of our kids enjoyed the games and the theatre room. The kiddie gate at the top of the stairs was much appreciated. Loved the washers and dryers! The three dishwashers were so helpful! It was so refreshing to go to the house and have everything supplied for the week. The decks were so pleasant and the fireplaces were so relaxing, as was the beautiful hot tub! We also enjoyed the community pools, and splash pad. The location was easily accessible to Silver Dollar City and all the Branson attractions. We would definitely recommend this house for large families that needed space. There was plenty of space for family members to do things together or separately. We all had a ton of fun making memories as a family!!

This property is wonderfully spacious, lovely, open concepts for families to sit together to eat along with plenty of space on the island for buffet style meals. All the provided dishes/bowls, etc was great!!
We really enjoyed the fact that each family member had a bedroom with a bathroom, not all private, but close enough. At night, each family had their own TV in the bedrooms to watch their own programs and fall asleep with. As a family, we could come in after all the activities each day that are SOooo very close, to end with some HOTTUB time!! The veiw was fabulous from the hottub!! How relaxing for working families.. We are/was thrilled with this location, the home, the view along with 3 grandchildren under 2. THANKS HAPPY MALLARD for giving us family memories and a space for the whole family to be in. Thanks!!

This home was perfect for our extended family. I loved that we could all eat dinner together at the two huge kitchen tables. Also perfect for family games! We had a minor issue during check in and the host was very response and it was resolved quickly. Construction started early around 8am one morning but was clearly noted in the listing so we were not surprised.

We stayed in this house with 22 people - 12 of them adults. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals for our large crowd. We could not have loved this any better. We will have to come back!It has 2 bedrooms on the main floor, 2 bedrooms & 2 bunk rooms on the game room floor, and 2 bedrooms on the bottom floor. Also, the 2 bedrooms are on the bottom floor and share a jack & jill bathroom.

This property is perfect for a large family. Nicely decorated and everything in working order. The hot tub was awesome after a day in Branson. The kids liked the game room and watching movies. Plenty of room for all of us to eat together

Happy to accommodate an early check-in at 2pm if possible, just ask! We just want to provide enough time for our cleaners to make the cabin spotless for your stay.
