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 deposit 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!

Thank you for staying with us! We’re glad you enjoyed the balance of being close to Branson while still having a peaceful, quiet setting. We’d love to host you again.
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.
Our arrival was seamless with the property fully prepared for us. We received the keycode and began our vacation is this lovely home. The area was quiet and I enjoyed hearing the birds in the trees, something I do not have in the city.The location was great for us. 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. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind.

Thank you Susan! I am so glad I got to host you :)
This was a great location to be far enough away but close enough to Branson, plus the pool access was a huge bonus for our kiddos. Whitney communicated clearly before and during our stay, even as we had to leave early unexpectedly. Would stay again.

Thank you, Joel. I’m so glad you enjoyed the peaceful setting of Canyon Haven Lodge while still being close to Branson. Hosting you was a pleasure.
We loved this property for the quite neighborhood and location to the evening activities we planned on attending. A clean house with everything we needed for our stay.
Great house with a welcoming owner. We even had the added bonus of being able to see the fireworks show from the front porch coming from the resorts across the highway two nights.
We were in town for a concert with our teens. The community amenities were great kept them entertained on our down time. Over all we really enjoyed the house!

This house is in a quiet neighborhood close to the south-eastern end of Lake Taneycomo. It was perfect for the destinations we had in mind for our short stay. Wouldn't hesitate to stay there again!
