SHOPPING:
Always a popular activity, guests enjoy shopping on the Branson Landing and Tanger Outlets, along with other local stores like Dicks 5 & 10 (my personal favorite!) https://www.dicks5and10.com/
RELAXING:
Winter is the perfect time to slow down and enjoy the cozy comforts of the inn. Curl up with a family movie and fresh popcorn, or challenge your friends to a board game in front of the fireplace—we’ll even provide the games & snacks! Prefer the outdoors? Take a short scenic hike (weather permitting) and soak in the beauty of the Ozarks.
FOR THE FISHERMAN:
Winter is a great time for trout fishing at Lake Taneycomo or bass fishing on Table Rock Lake. There are several good places to rent a boat, or you can fish from the shore. We can even recommend several fishing guides who would be happy to take you to the best spots.
GREAT DINING:
Winter is the perfect time to enjoy a special meal at a great restaurant. While many places stay open through the winter, one of our favorites is the Keeter Center at College of the Ozarks. If you haven’t eaten at the Keeter Center, you’ve missed out on some of the best gourmet fine dining around. https://www.keetercenter.edu/Dine/Dining
Another great option is Steamy Joe Cafe, just around the curve from the inn. They are open year-round for breakfast and lunch, and our guests always enjoy a discount there. https://steamyjoe.com/
Branson in winter is full of surprises—cozy stays, exciting shows, and year-round fun! Book your stay at Autumn Creek and experience the magic of the season.
