IS THERE MEDICAL HELP IN SHELL KNOB? - 02/28/07 03:26 PM
 EMERGENCY CARE
I know that health care systems are confusing today, but  it is a definite factor to consider in buying a vacation cottage or retirement home. " If I move to the boonies, will I be able to get help if I need it? " The answer is YES.  So let me try to tackle this concern and explain how it is covered here in Southwest Missouri, specifically, Shell Knob.
  The first thing I would recommend a new area resident do is to become a member of the Air Evac Lifeteam.  For a small fee of $55.00/year, a couple can receive … (0 comments)

A MOSQUITO- FREE LAKE? - 02/25/07 03:57 PM
Table Rock at Shell Knob, Missouri Table Rock Lake is like none I've ever known.  Lake levels flucuate,  go up and down as if  we had an ocean tide, except they don't do it twice daily.    From a distance, going by boat, the shoreline  of this clean clear water ,looks sandy, but the only sandy beaches are where the sand has been imported for one specific location.  What appears to be sand from a distance, is really small rocks.  This is  a lake where you need swim shoes to protect  toes because instead of sand, there is rock and stone.  Therefore the … (0 comments)

READY FOR FISHING? - 02/15/07 03:30 PM
TABLEROCK BASS ARE BITING
 Time to get the fishing tackle out the fish are calling.
March 1st kicked off the Trout Fishing season.  And in this neck of the woods, that almost qualifies as a national holiday.  Cassville, Missouri, just west of Shell Knob declares a school holiday on the first.  That is so that all the natives and visitors can stand knee deep in freezing waters at the Roaring River State Park  to fish when the  hatchery opens for the first time of the season in hopes of getting a record making trout.
March is also the beginning of fishing on Table … (0 comments)

THE SECRET TIME TO SHOP BRANSON, MISSOURI - 02/14/07 04:24 PM
OFF SEASON IS GOOD TRAVEL SEASON IF YOU LEARN THE EASY ROUTES TO TAKE
Since moving to Shell Knob from a large metropolitan area, I have become allergic to traffic.  My favorite time of year is from October through April, because that is when only full-time residents are around.  There is no waiting in line anywhere, whether that is for groceries, gas or the post office.
This is also the best time to go to Branson for shopping or restaurants.  And Branson is a GREAT place for both, with discount malls, specialty shops. etc and more opening everyday.  There are two main ways … (0 comments)

City Mouse or Country Mouse?
When working with a client who wants to move to the Shell Knob area, I try to determine what their "Want to's and Got To's" are.

WHO WANTS A LAKE HOUSE BARGAIN? - 02/09/07 02:05 PM
The Spring Real Estate Market in Shell KnobYou have decided that you want to buy a lake house in Shell Knob this year.  You've heard about a drop in home sales, the over inflated real estate  market is in a slump, and it sounds like bargains to be had, or so all the news  media people would have us believe.   Dollar signs flash before your eyes.  People will be begging you to take their property off their hands, right?    Wellllll ....maybe,  and then again,  maybe not. 
Early springtime is a good time to look at lake property here at Table Rock … (0 comments)

WHO WANTS A QUIET VACATION HOME? - 02/02/07 04:26 PM
SHELL KNOB - 65747-QUIET END?Why is Shell Knob called the 'quiet' end of Table Rock Lake?  Shell Knob is a family destination for vacations or retirement.  It's the place you go to to relax, lay back and enjoy the tranquility of open waters, peaceful nights with a sky full of stars.  The town sits past  the mid-way part of the lake, which travels from Branson, MO at the Corps of Engineers dam, past Kimblering City, then branches in one direction to Cape Fair, but continuing on and taking alot of turns, finally reaches Shell Knob.  It's 745 miles of shoreline, twisting … (6 comments)
