The newest Pine Ridge cabin, Bear Cliff, is set amid pine and oak trees along the edge of a large ridge off State Highway 86, with the entrance about 1 mile west of the Long Creek Bridge. The two-bedroom, two-bath cabin has central heat and air conditioning and sleeps eight, including a king-size bed in each bedroom and two queen-size futons. The cabin has vaulted timber ceilings, polished pine floors, a gas fireplace, a jetted tub in one bath, satellite television, a full kitchen, washer/dryer, linens and two 44-foot-long covered porches. The back porch includes swings and ceiling fans, and you'll enjoy sunset and mountain views.
The Deer Stand, Pine Ridge's original log cabin, is set about 300 feet away from the Bear Cliff and gives you plenty of privacy. The Deer Stand also has two bedrooms, two bathrooms and sleeps eight. Its list of amenities is similar to the Bear Cliff Cabin, including Ponderosa pine floors, a gas fireplace, satellite television, a jetted tub in one bath and covered porches that run the length of the cabin on the back and front. In addition, it has an 8-foot pine-slab bar, a large log candelabra chandelier and a cozy upstairs reading area that overlooks the dining room and living area below.
Pine Ridge Log Cabins can be rented year-round. They're more expensive in the summer and fall, typically from Memorial Day weekend until the end of November. Daily and weekly rates are available. Each cabin has plenty of level parking for cars and boats, and up to two pets are allowed for an extra fee. A reservation deposit is required, and a cleaning fee also is charged for each stay.
Two U.S. Army Corps of Engineers public recreation facilities along the shores of Table Rock Lake -- Long Creek to the southeast and Old Highway 86 to the north -- are less than 3 miles from Pine Ridge Cabins. Each has a swimming beach, boat ramp, playground, picnic areas, restrooms and showers. At Table Rock State Park, 13 miles north of the cabins, you'll find boat ramps, hiking and mountain biking trails, campsites and picnic areas. The state park's marina provides boat, kayak and jet-ski rentals, plus fishing, scuba diving, parasailing and sailboat excursions. After playing all day in warm weather, enjoy a live music show or the many other attractions in Branson, less than 15 miles northeast of the Pine Ridge Cabins.
