My wife and I are spoiled because we only enjoy staying in the finest hotels such as Bellagio in Las Vegas and the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs. Finding a hotel of that caliber in Branson, Mo. is impossible but we have found wonderful lodging in the Rock Lane Lodge and the prices are usually 50 to 75 dollars a night - a bargain if it has what you are hunting for. Rooms are simple with few if any amenities. You will even need your own shampoo. But it is just down the road from Silver Dollar City and you don't have to fight the horrid Branson traffic. Most of all, it is romantic. You truly feel as if you are in a hideaway. Request a second floor room with a balcony where you can enjoy a relaxing drink in the quiet lakeside resort. At night there is a second to none view of Table Rock Lake and Table Rock Dam. Take a walk in the morning along a beautiful trail they have and sit in swings along the lake shore. Then have a leisurely breakfast in their restaurant which overlooks the lake. It is a perfect break from the mobs of people at the City and Branson. I don't really care for Branson (the wife loves it -shopping you know) but staying at Rock Lane Lodge relaxes me enough to enjoy going there.
