✅ 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.

It was perfect for our needs with two kids and a dog. The location was great tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. would definitely stay there again. There was a lot of attention to detail that made us feel welcomed.
Good place to stay. Close to Branson and all the shows but far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet of the Ozark Mountains. Would definitely stay here again.
We were attending a concert at Thunder Ridge Amphitheatre and this house was in a convenient location. It had a quiet neighborhood feel and a nice pool.
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.
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.
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!
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. Thank you for a lovely stay.
We had a wonderful time! Our stay was short, but everything went very smoothly. Whitney was excellent to work with. She was very responsive and listened to anything we had questions on. Check in and check out was great! We will definitely choose to stay there again! We brought our pups with us. The location and parking was great! We felt very safe walking around outside and in and out of the home. The home was clean and organized. It was very welcoming, even down to the decorations and pictures on the wall. It was all perfect!! Overall very happy and pleased with everything. Looking forward to more visits in the future.
We arrived at the house and it is in a good location. It is cute. The beds were comfortable, the decor is cute, and it does not smell bad. The shower in the master suite does not have great water prebut and it is really high but that wobe good for tall peop. The couch was uncomfortable but the chair was comfortable. It was a little dus but only on higher points, not the floor. If this message is jumbled it's because the app will not let me see what i am typing. Overall, the house is very cute and the electric fireplaces are nice. We had a good time and the neighborhood is nice.house and it is in a gr
Excellent condo, pet friendly, great pool and clubhouse, nice distance from Branson-close to lots of activities but far enough to not feel crowded. Would highly recommend! Excellent communication and seamless check-in process.
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.
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!
