The Hummingbird Inn Bed and Breakfast --- AND Romantic Weddings

Once you turn off Hwy 160 onto Hampton Road, you quickly find yourself on a winding country road, canopied by a forest of trees so thick it is often difficult to see the sky. Nearly completely hidden by these trees is an old milking shed near a watering hole visited by all sorts of wildlife. Then you come to a three-tined fork in the road; taking the middle tine straight ahead brings you to a view not unlike hundreds in the Branson Ozarks. The trees part to reveal a breathtaking panorama of tree covered hills, accented by the Shepherd of the Hills Inspiration Tower. Perched on a high ridge overlooking the hills north of Branson is The Hummingbird Inn Bed and Breakfast.

When you are guests at the Inn, whether for a day or a week, for a vacation or for a family reunion, for a wedding or an anniversary, you are treated like royalty by your hosts Ron and Sherry. Luxurious suites, delicious home-made breakfasts, as well as dinners available made-to-order, gardens, country air, and down-home hospitality are just a few of the amenities that will have you promising to return soon!

If you are looking for the perfect place for a perfect wedding, The Hummingbird Inn will make your special day, well --- perfect! Wedding ceremonies are performed in the gazebo, in the garden, in front of the fireplace, under the grape-covered arbor, in the country barn, or in the meadow under a flowered trellis. Everything you need for an intimate wedding party for 2 to 40 can be provided.

It is my honor and pleasure to be the wedding photographer at the Inn. We have so much fun getting to know the bride and groom as well as their guests. To see some of the wedding photos you can visit Hampton Road Photography or The Hummingbird Inn website. For a wedding photographer the Hummingbird Inn is a paradise. For that matter, it's a paradise for guests, too!

For you next --- or first --- visit to Branson Ron and Sherry are ready to welcome you to their B&B for a different point of view of Branson!

We Are New Residents --- And This Is Why

Branson, Missouri was a favorite get-away spot for my aunt and uncle for many years. Each fall they would take their travel trailer to Cooper Creek Resort Campground for several weeks. They had many friends from all around the country that joined them there. Other family members made regular trips to Branson and I began to hear more and more about the theaters, entertainers and fun spots.

So in 1997 I made my first trip to Branson. I was hooked and started my own regular treks to the Missouri Ozarks. I was here on September 11, 2001 and found a warmth of community that I had not experienced in other "tourist meccas". My Navy son, stationed in Japan at the time, was able to get an emergency message through to the resort office who promptly tracked me down. They continued to check on his welfare, as well as every one of their guests. Every hotel, theater, entertainer, restaurant, and amusement park was sensitive to the myriad of emotions their guests were experiencing.

Fast forward six years: my parents moved here in 2002; I found the love of my life and got married in 2004; and we had made nearly a dozen trips to Branson. The last trip was in October 2007 when we brought everything we own to our new home in the beautiful country hills of the Missouri Ozarks.

Why did we move here? Because a vacation trip just wasn't long enough to see and do everything this area has to offer! This is why I am writing this blog: I am passionate about the future of Branson! I am dedicated to busting the myths and showcasing Branson as a family entertainment community that will provide something for everyone in the family for generations to come.

Please visit this blog often! There is much to tell!
