A rustic, peaceful retreat
Peace, Rest and Recreation… Shoalnook has a little something for everyone!
Get Away
In the heart of the Ozark Mountains near Branson, MO, on the banks of the James River, among the sounds of chirping birds and the whisper of the wind blowing through the trees, we welcome you to Shoalnook.
Shoalnook has a little something for everyone! If you’re an individual, couple or a family looking for fun and relaxation, this is your place. Maybe you’re needing a place for a group for a family reunion, or a retreat. All four cabins and The River Hideout could be rented at once, sleeping up to 32 people.
James River has long been known for its waters teeming with fish; 71 varieties, give or take a few. Smallmouth, largemouth, white bass, crappie, channel cat, and walleye are in abundance. Spoonbill run up the river in March and white bass from late-March to mid-April.
We offer daily kayak rentals and there are a number of canoe rental businesses within blocks of the cabins.
