Question by heather: Are there any public swimming beaches on Table Rock Lake that allow dogs?
I’m going to Branson this summer with my family and we’re bringing our 2 dogs. I’m looking to spend at least one day at a public beach and want to make sure I’m able to bring the dogs along. Would hate to take my dogs on vacation with us just to leave them in the cabin all day.

Question by riley l.: can anyone recommend a place to stay at table rock lake near branson, mo?

Answer by J.H.
Many people will probably tell you, Chateau on the Lake, but really I think that place is more fancy name than fancy place. If you’re staying for an extended time, why not try a condo?

They’ve also opened a Hilton Hotel at the Branson Landing, which I hear is nice.

I would say if you want a nice place, don’t stay at any hotel that right on Highway 76. Most of those are little po-dunk motels that bank off their convenience to the strip. (The second Web site has some lodging listings near the lake.)

Staying on the lake itself, I think you’ll do well with a condo, or even camping… if you’re up for that.

LAKE COMO AND IT’S PROPERTIES IN ITALY

The beauty and variety of Lake Como is as wide as the properties that can be found to buy here. Its scenery is one of the most breath taking experiences you could ever image, and if you have never had the opportunity to visit I’d like to know what you are waiting for as flight from most European destination to Milan are extremely affordable through Ryan Air and Easy Jet flying too three airports in Milan.

Lake Como is full of natural tranquillity with a magical combination of Mediterranean history oozing out in to the alpine peak snow covered Mountains. This is why you have so many people visiting each year from world wide places such as Australia, China, Japan and the Philippines. Not only that but your find many rich and famous setting up nest’s here after fallen in love with it after the first visit.

Currently, George Clooney, Richard Branson, Brad Pitt, Ryanair owner Michael O’Leary, Sting, Mick Hucknall, Helen Mirren, Tom Cruise, Frances Mayes, Julia Roberts, Michael Schumacher and many others are residing in the north of Italy’s Lake Como.

The funny thing is you don’t have to be as wealthy as all the stars to live here, in fact you can breathe the same air for as little as one hundred thousand euro’s and even less if you don’t mind being a bit further up in the clouds. What I mean is the further up the mountain you go the cheaper the properties can be bought for.

One of the many important factors people choose to live near this lake is because of the 198m or 653ft altitude above sea level as well as the charm, romance, food, wine and as one Herb Caen quoted “The precise location of heaven on earth has never been established but it may very well be right here.”

Lake Como is renowned for the exquisite properties and villas it has to offer with luxurious interiors, ceiling frescoes, tiled flooring, sculptures, local art, history, culture and architectures all combining the way Italian’s use stone in the creation of their homes keeping them rustic yet still modern. In comparison it’s a bit like a Beatles record that never gets outdated.

Some of these stunning home with picturesque views overlooking Lake Como are just 40 km from the heart of the international city of Milan, and within minutes by car you can be in Switzerland which has the best skiing resorts in the world. Not only these conveniences but Como is one of the most central places to be for commuting in to Europe with France and Germany bordering not to far to north and North West.

One stop you just have to make if you decide to visit the deepest Lakes in Lombardy at 410 meters is a village on the east side on the small peninsula lake named Bellagio. This has been voted the most beautiful village in Europe and is easily accessible by boat or car from the centre of Como. By far the best way to travel is by boat as you get to see much more of the lake than you would by car. To get the most out of your experience at Lake Como, consider a private boat tour and make it a day tripper.

First he ignored a number of well-heeled would-be buyers ready to part with more than USmillion for his mansion, now he’s shrugged off the discovery of a half-ton arsenal of wartime explosives just 45ft away. Screen idol George Clooney is obviously so attached to his million property in Laglio, on Lake Como in Italy that he’s not selling up anytime soon.

And who can blame him? Italy’s lakes district is so picturesque that most people find it a wrench to leave. Other well-known faces who own Lake Como real estate include fashion designer Donatella Versace, Virgin tycoon Sir Richard Branson, rock star Sting, Ryanair owner Michael O’Leary and soccer coach Jose Mourinho, while relatives of late designer Gianni Versace sold their lakeside villa for Euro 30million. Such is its glitzy allure that parts of Daniel Craig’s first movie as James Bond as well as Star Wars blockbuster Attack of the Clones were shot here while Cernobbio, on Lake Como’s south-western shores numbers Angelina Jolie, Sharon Stone and Sir Paul McCartney among its fans.

Since Clooney purchased his 25-room Villa Oleandra in Laglio in 2002, close to Cernobbio, regular visitors have included the likes of Brad Pitt and Matt Damon. The actor also picked up a rundown building neighbouring his for USmillion that has been fixed up into an annex for his famous friends.

Lake Como forms an upside-down “Y” that starts in the foothills of the Alps close to the Swiss border and extends south for around 35 miles. Its breathtaking views along with the Alps forming a stunning backdrop make this one of the country’s most sought-after locations for Italy real estate investors. Among the dearest too. Having Clooney in the neighbourhood saw a boom in the market that has seen an average annual growth in prices of 5%. Notwithstanding the worldwide property downturn, the market here has stayed buoyant, fuelled by demand from Milan’s wealthy elite and Swiss banking executives. This location has more than its fair share of Euro 10million mansions if you want an illustrious home on the banks of the lake with a movie star next door.

Yet the good news is one doesn’t require a hedge-fund manager’s bank balance to buy a villa or apartment in Lake Como. In Laglio, a lake-view development of nearly 40 apartments was put on the market recently with prices from Euro 137,600 to Euro 400,000 for a two-bedroom flat. In Lenno, 10 miles away, you can find a new-build flat for just Euro 165,000. And in Tremezzo nearby, Euro 250,000 can buy you a two-bedroom lake-view flat with terrace.

There are even better bargains further north up the lake. Locations on the north-west coastline such as Pianello Lario, Musso and Dongo are a popular alternative on a Euro 275,000-300,000 budget.

In Pianello Lario, a new development with lake views just 500 metres from the lake and complete wit  communal swimming pool has one-bed flats from just Euro 110,000. The Alps being close at hand means rental potential is excellent, up to around Euro 3,500 a month. The village of Gravedona, some  seven kilometres north is more affordable still. Here, expect to pay around Euro 100,000 for a lakeview apartment with a couple of bedrooms, although you may have to settle for being slightly away from the water.

Lake Como has drawn superlatives from visitors from all walks of life for millennia. The Roman writer Virgil – it was Lake Lario in his day – told of its allure. Some years on, Roman statesman Pliny The Younger had a couple of villas here. Shelley wrote in glowing terms about how the lake “exceeds anything I ever beheld in beauty”. And writer Henry James was left awestruck as he wrote: “One can’t describe the beauty of the Italian Lakes, nor would one try if one could.”

It’s easy to see why. This is the country’s third largest behind Garda and Maggiore and is just under 150sq km of calm blue water overlooked by mountains, hills and woods, a picture postcard of superb beauty.

The view is stupendous from almost throughout its 110-mile coastline. However, it’s hard to top its middle section where the lake breaks off into two forked arms, that run to Lecco and Como.

Bellagio is known locally as The Pearl of the Lake and many people in these parts declare there is no town more stunning in all Europe. Stroll down its charming cobbled lanes, gazing at the view, or hop on a ferry to Menaggio or Varenna, the Alps rising imperiously in the background, and you would struggle to disagree. Six airports serve the area: Lugano in Switzerland, just half an hour away; three in Milan, all within an hour and a half; and two slightly further out, in Verona and Brescia.

I’ve only been to Big Cedar Lodge. Owned by Bass Pro, it is going to be the most famous of them…it’s a beautiful place that is sure not to disappoint, but of course when Bass Pro bought it, it became a much more commercial resort. If you like that sort of thing and are willing to pay for it they have some great places to stay.
