Movies and television shows are shot on location to take advantage of an area's great scenery and authentic feel. Channel your inner diva or director and go on location yourself, right here at Boxcar Willie Inn. We've got looks, charm, scenery, and ambience, and all at one of Branson's best addresses!

We're just a guitar-lick off Branson's famous Strip—for most people, a one-minute drive or a five-minute walk. But we're also tucked away from the traffic and bustle on a quiet wooded drive you'd never guess was so close to the action.

Here are turn-by-turn directions. They're not the most direct route, but they are traffic-free. For those driver/navigator teams who tend to question their navigational skills, we've included some landmarks to help you know you're on the right track.

If you are arriving from Highway 65:

1. Take the Branson Landing Blvd./Shepherd of the Hills Expressway/MO 248/Red Route exit, going west.

2. Turn right onto MO 248/Shepherd of the Hills/Red Route. In less than 1/2 miles, you will see the Yakov Smirnoff and Oakridge Boys/Country Tonite Theaters on your right.

3. Stay on Shepherd of the Hills (the Red Route) for about 1 mile. You'll come to a fork in the road with an Arvest Bank ahead of you.

4. Turn right at the fork, continuing on the Red Route.

5. Turn left at the signal (where the gas station is). You're still on the Red Route/Shepherd of the Hills.

6. Continue on the Red Route for about 3 miles, passing Sight & Sound Theater on your left, until you come to the intersection with 76 Country Blvd. You'll see RFD-TV Theater on one corner and an IHOP on another.

7. Continue through the intersection on the Red Route.

8. Turn left at the first street, which is Green Mountain Drive. You'll see Roy Rogers Theater on your left corner.

9. Continue on Green Mountain. When the road comes to a T at the fire station, turn left, following the Yellow Route.

10. Turn right at the first street, Schaefer Drive, where you see the Days Inn.

11. Follow Schaefer Drive around the curve. Boxcar Willie Inn is on the left, white with blue trim and our famous train signs. Our address is 360 Schaefer Drive, Branson, MO 65616.
