Iconic Cliff House with Unforgettable Sunsets | Ski Chalet in Forsyth
4 Bedroom Ski Chalet in Forsyth
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:
