With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience all that Branson, 25 miles away, has to offer. Branson Landing, Sight and Sound Theatres and White Water alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Don’t skip Eureka Springs either! Just 25 miles away, Thorncrown Chapel, Great Passion Play Amphitheater and Beaver Dam Site Park are non-negotiable stops here.
