Whistle’s Echo | Sweeping Ozark Views, 5 Mins to SDC

Welcome to Whistle’s Echo at Notch Estates, your peaceful mountaintop escape just minutes from the excitement of Silver Dollar City. Perched on the top floor of a quiet corner building, this cozy condo is all about the views—breathtaking, south-facing vistas of the Ozark Mountains stretch out before you from the expansive private deck. And if you listen closely, you’ll hear the whistle of the Silver Dollar City steam train echoing across the ridgeline—it’s the kind of moment you won’t soon forget.

Inside, you’ll find:
• Two comfortable queen bedrooms with Smart TVs and ceiling fans
• A split floor plan for added privacy
• Two full bathrooms, including a private ensuite for the primary bedroom
• Full kitchen with bar seating for four and all the essentials
• Vaulted ceilings and lots of natural light
• Living room with a sleeper sofa, two recliners, and HDTV
• Laundry closet with washer and dryer (detergent included)

Outside:
• Huge private deck with sweeping Ozark Mountain views
• Quiet end-unit setting with no neighbors above
• One flight of covered exterior stairs from the parking lot
• Walkable to two seasonal pools, basketball, a playground, and hiking trails
• Picnic areas with grills and a scenic catch-and-release pond

It’s a perfect basecamp for families, couples, or anyone looking to slow down, take in the view, and enjoy Branson’s best attractions just minutes away. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the deck, playing cards as the sun sets, or listening for that distant train whistle, Whistle’s Echo is a place to make memories.

Great Stay

Condo is very basic but clean and very convenient to Silver Dollar City. Great for family of 5 going to the park or exploring Branson. Neighborhood is very quiet and we talked with several friendly people in the area. Chris was great to work with and very responsive to all our needs. Highly recommend this property!

Perfect location & atmosphere

We stayed for a softball tournament. This was the perfect location giving us opportunities to explore but also being close to both softball facilities. We enjoyed the pools as well as the pavilions and used them for team dinners and gatherings. We will definitely return if in Branson again.

Great Little Getaway!

My wife and I just wanted some time away and found that at A Notch Above. The condo is as described, and the responsiveness of the host was perfect. This place is great to look out over the mountains from the deck and is just a short drive to all the activities we wanted. Thank you! We look forward to returning soon.

Our family had a wonderful stay at this property! From the moment we arrived, we could tell the home was well taken care of clean, organized, and thoughtfully stocked with everything a family might need. We were especially impressed by the little touches, like extra toiletries and even free and clear laundry detergent (which is a huge plus when traveling with kids who have sensitive skin).The location was perfect for us. Nestled in a quiet area, we had the peace of the Ozarks while still being just a short, easy drive into Branson. Getting to all the popular attractions like Shepherd of the Hills, Table Rock Lake, and the Branson Strip was quick and stress-free. It made planning each day simple and enjoyable, without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.This place was truly a home away from home, and we appreciated how the hosts went the extra mile to make sure guests are comfortable. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to any family looking for a relaxing, convenient spot to explore Branson!

Ok condo- chores for check out

Checking in was harder than it needed to be. They kept sending a link through vrbo that I couldn't click or copy/paste. I had to use a second phone to type it in manually. They have rigid check in and check out times, so much so they gave us the code right at 4pm. This property has some pros and cons that I'll list. Pros: quiet neighborhood, 7 minutes from silver dollar city/walmart, the deck has a beautiful view, while not huge it was big enough for my family of 6.Cons: had I realized there were chores as part of the check out process I would have not chosen this condo. When you expect guests to do half your chores you can't expect a lot of cleanliness and that is what we got. If you want to use white towels then you need to make sure you can keep them white or buy lots of extras as you go through towels you can't clean. Some of our towels weren't clean, since doing towel laundry is on the guest check out list I'm nervous they didn't get cleaned before us. Also on the list for guest chores is to load the dishwasher and start it. Given there is no dishwasher, and the state of the dishes we were going to use, I supposed you also can't expect your guests to do all their dishes. It was gross. We washed everything before we used it just in case, somethings we had to wash because there were chunks on them. The kitchen floor slopes so you feel like you are still in grandfather's mansion (iykyk).Over all while the condo was OK, I'd never stay here again.

Nice place to stay for 2 senior couples who wanted to enjoy Silver Dollar City for a day. Great communication. I really liked that the living room had a couch plus 2 lounge chairs. It made it easy for us to visit without being on top of each other.
