A Rustic, Peaceful Retreat
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.
About Shoalnook

Ever feel like you need to get away? Need a place of peace, rest and recreation? 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 could be rented at once, sleeping 24-32 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 trout 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.
