Do I have to sign a waiver to stay in a Deck House?
Yes. For everyone's safety, every guest staying in a Deck House must sign the rooftop deck waiver. Guests who don't complete it can't stay in the Deck House and will be asked to leave without a refund.

There's no deposit when you book. We charge the full amount for your stay 7 days before your arrival date.
You can cancel at no charge up to 7 days before you arrive. There's no cancellation fee. If you cancel less than 7 days before you arrive, we refund 50% of your stay.

Your cabin
What comes with every unit?
Every unit has its own deck and outdoor seating, access to a barbecue grill, towels, blankets, pots and pans, and a television with cable. Kitchen setups vary by accommodation; each accommodation page lists what's included.
Do you allow dogs?
Yes, in two units: A-frame #1 and 3-bedroom Cedar Cabin #1. The fee is $20 per dog per day, with a maximum of two dogs.
Dogs must be over a year old with up-to-date shot records. We can't accept pit bulls, Rottweilers or other aggressive breeds. Please keep dogs leashed, clean up after them, and crate or kennel them whenever they're left in the unit. Dogs aren't allowed in the pool area, the pool or the lake. Owners are responsible for any damage, and unresolved noise complaints may mean finding other accommodations.
Which places to stay have a full kitchen and more than one bedroom?
The three-bedroom Cedar Cabins, Kim's House (four bedrooms) and Hotel California (five bedrooms) all have full kitchens. The two-bedroom Deck Houses have a full-size kitchen with an induction cooktop, full-size refrigerator and microwave, but no oven. The A-frames have a kitchenette.
Pool, lake & boats
Who can use the pool and the dock?
The pool and the dock are private and reserved for registered Bavarian Village Resort guests only.
What are the pool hours and rules?
The pool is open from 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM every day. There is no lifeguard on duty, and children under 12 must never be at the pool without an adult. The pool is for registered guests only, and dogs aren't allowed in the pool area.
Can we rent a boat during our stay?
Yes. Our 22-foot tritoon with a 150-horsepower engine can be booked online for registered guests, or by phone at (800) 322-8274. A morning (8 AM to noon) or afternoon (1 to 5 PM) is $299 and a full day is $399, tax included. Life jackets are included, including children's sizes, and you're welcome to bring your own.
Anyone born after January 1, 1984 must carry a boater safety card to operate the boat, so it's worth completing the Missouri course online before you arrive. Rentals need 7 days' notice to cancel.
Can I bring my own boat?
Yes. You can launch at the resort's boat ramp and rent a stall at our covered, lighted boat dock for $25 a night, for as many nights as you stay. Stalls fit boats up to 26 feet, and there's trailer parking on site. Call us to reserve a stall.
Do I need a fishing license?
Yes, in most cases. Missouri generally requires a fishing permit for anglers aged 16 to 64, and nonresidents 16 and older. Permits are sold by the Missouri Department of Conservation.
Is the resort on Table Rock Lake?
Yes. Bavarian Village is on Indian Point, on a wooded hillside above Table Rock Lake. Guests share the resort's covered boat dock, swim dock and boat ramp.
Around the resort
Is there a fire pit?
Yes, there's a shared community fire pit for guests. Please bring your own firewood; it isn't provided.
Is there a hot tub?
No, there isn't a hot tub on site.
How far is Silver Dollar City?
Silver Dollar City is on Indian Point Road, the road you take to reach the resort. It's about a five-minute drive, depending on traffic.
Is there laundry on site?
Yes. There's a guest laundry in the game room building (C 8 on the resort map). The Deck Houses, Kim's House and Hotel California also have their own washer and dryer.
Are Silver Dollar City tickets included with my stay?
