Your Branson Getaway Starts Here



Whether you’re here for lake adventures, golf, or Branson’s shows, Canyon Haven Lodge is a comfortable home base.



✅ This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $1,000 (which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction). As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company.



The optional damage waiver is $50 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $2 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional.



So you'll be able to choose between the fully refundable security hold OR the non-refundable damage waiver :)



To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.



Your guest portal includes advertisements with third-party upgrades that you may want to enhance your stay. These upgrades are optional and include:



🛎️ Early Check-In: Early check-in is sometimes available, but not guaranteed. If the home is ready early, the hour before check-in time is always free, and if you’d like to get in earlier, it’s $20 per hour.



😴 Late Check-Out: Late check-out is sometimes available, but not guaranteed. If it is available, it’s $50 for a half-day stay (request it in Happy Guest).



If you have any questions, just message us anytime! Happy to help!

The house was beautiful and perfect for our short stay. We were glad that we could bring our 2 small dogs since this was a last minute trip. We loved the small cozy, community style. The pool was amazing with 2 big pools and a splash pad. This accommodation all age levels. The house was equipped with everything we needed. And loved that it is one level and still spacious. Thank you. It’s about a 20 minute drive to the main strip of Branson. Which isn’t bad after battling the traffic on the main strip. We enjoyed our stay and hope to revisit in the future.

We enjoy visiting The Keeter and our place was close to The Keeter and Big Cedar.The home is pet friendly and spotlessly clean. The host provided coffee supplies for the morning wakeup.

We visit Branson every year and always stay in Branson Canyon. The home we stayed in was absolutely beautiful and convenient to the area activities. The owner was attentive and wonderful to work with. I was in the process of planning my uncles’ 90th birthday celebration and had plenty of room to prepare the flower arrangements and kitchen tools for food prep in the home to transport to the venue.
