Cliff Haus at Lake Taneycomo | Iconic Stone Retreat w/ Panoramic Views

Hosted by Dream Weaver Properties

A dramatic, one-of-a-kind retreat carved into the hillside

Perched high above Lake Taneycomo on a steep, scenic hillside, Cliff Haus is a nearly 100-year-old stone home that feels more like a European chateau than a lake house. With castle-like architecture, hand-hewn wood details, exposed beams, and sweeping sunset views, this three-level retreat is ideal for guests who appreciate history, craftsmanship, and unforgettable scenery.

This is a home with soul, character, and story — thoughtfully maintained to honor its age while offering modern comforts.

Inside the Home:

- Sleeps 8 comfortably

- Four bedrooms

- 2 King beds

- 2 Queen beds

- Three full bathrooms (one on each level)

- Two feature updated walk-in showers

- The lower-level bathroom is more rustic and original, located within a larger utility/muck room — full of vintage character and best suited for casual use

- Warm, inviting living spaces with stone walls, wood ceilings, and exposed beams

- Multiple TVs throughout the home

- Washer and dryer for guest convenience

- Fireplaces are decorative and non-functional at this time

As with many historic homes, Cliff Haus blends modern updates with preserved original features that reflect its age and architectural heritage.

Kitchen & Dining:

- Fully equipped kitchen for home-cooked meals

- Full coffee bar for relaxed mornings

- Indoor dining plus outdoor dining on a screened deck

- Lower screened deck is windowed and ideal for sunset dinners overlooking the lake

Outdoor Living & Views:

- Two attached screened decks on separate levels

- Elevated, panoramic views of Lake Taneycomo and spectacular sunsets

- Peaceful, private setting surrounded by hillside and nature

Important Safety Note:
Due to the steep cliffside terrain, venturing down toward the water is not permitted. There is no direct lake access from the home. The lake is best enjoyed from above — where the views are truly exceptional.

Comfort & Climate:

Cliff Haus is a historic, three-level stone home, and maintaining identical temperatures across all levels is not always possible. To ensure guest comfort year-round, we provide:

- Fans and space heaters

- Operable windows with screens for fresh-air circulation

- An attic fan to help cool the upper level when needed

Many guests enjoy opening windows in the evenings to take advantage of the natural lake breeze.

Parking:

Three gravel parking areas:

- Two directly in front of the home, just off the street

- One across the street in front of the garage

- Additional parking available directly in front of the garage

- Parking is street-level, with stairs leading down to the home

Perfect For:

- Couples seeking a romantic, architectural escape

- Adult groups or families with older children who appreciate unique design

- Guests who value character, views, and atmosphere over cookie-cutter spaces

Location:

Located approximately 20 miles from Branson Landing and major Branson attractions, Cliff Haus offers a quiet, secluded feel while remaining within easy driving distance of dining, entertainment, and outdoor adventures.

Good to Know Before Booking:

- Sleeps 8

- No pets

- No children under age 12 (strictly enforced due to steep terrain and multiple interior and exterior staircases)

- Lots of stairs:

- Stairs from the street to the entrance

- Three interior levels, all accessed by stairs

- Steep hillside setting

- No direct lake access

- Fireplaces are decorative and non-functional

- Exterior security cameras at entry points only

- Self check-in with code provided prior to arrival

Stone walls, sweeping skies, and old-world romance — Cliff Haus is a rare, unforgettable retreat above Lake Taneycomo.
