Stonewater Cove

The resort and its setting

Stonewater Cove sits at 1257 Sunset Timbers Trl in Shell Knob, right on Table Rock Lake in the Missouri Ozarks. Google's own summary describes it as an "upscale" lakeside resort with "varied activities, plus a pool & a spa," and the 4.8/5 score from 176 reviewers backs that up. The resort is listed under lodging and spa categories, which matches what owners describe: comfortable rooms, lake views, and on-site wellness facilities rather than a bare-bones motel stay. It was developed by Bluegreen Vacations and now operates under the Hilton Grand Vacations umbrella, so the branding and booking systems reflect that larger network.

Shell Knob and Table Rock Lake

Shell Knob is a small lakeside community in Stone County, southwest Missouri, known for its position on Table Rock Lake — one of the Ozarks' larger reservoirs and a long-standing draw for boating, fishing and lake-house holidays. The wider Table Rock Lake and Branson area is the main regional pull: visitors base themselves here for watersports, lake cruises, golf, and the live entertainment and theme parks that Branson is known for, all within easy driving distance. It's a quieter, more residential corner of the lake compared with the busier marinas closer to Branson, which suits owners and renters after a slower-paced week by the water.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at Stonewater Cove and want to sell it on, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a straightforward owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and buyers contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a small one-time listing fee to get their week in front of interested buyers.

Because Stonewater Cove was developed by Bluegreen Vacations, a few brand-specific points matter if you're selling or buying resale rather than dealing directly with the resort:

- **Transfer/resale fee:** according to a 2026 broker source, Bluegreen typically charges around $500 to process a resale transfer. - **Right of first refusal:** Bluegreen holds a right of first refusal on resales, so the brand can step in and match a sale before it completes. - **Transfer time:** expect the paperwork to take roughly 30–90 days from agreed sale to completed transfer, per broker guidance. - **What a resale buyer gets:** owner reports (via TUG) indicate that resale buyers can use Bonus Time only at their home resort — meaning Stonewater Cove itself — and do not receive Premier status, which is reserved for buyers who purchase directly from the developer.

Sellers should disclose these resale restrictions upfront, and buyers should factor the transfer fee and timeline into any offer before agreeing a price.

What renters look for

Renters booking a week at Stonewater Cove are generally after the lake and the facilities — easy access to Table Rock Lake, the pool, and the spa — plus comfortable, well-kept rooms that match the resort's upscale reputation. Confirming the exact unit size, view, and week dates before booking helps avoid mismatched expectations on both sides.

Practical notes

Shell Knob is a drive-in destination; most visitors arrive by car via the Branson/Springfield area roads. There's no on-site airport, so check travel times from the nearest regional airport before planning your arrival. Given the lake setting, weeks around summer and early autumn tend to see the most activity on the water, while winter is quieter.
