Welcome to Mini Deep Forest Retreat: the main level of our Branson Canyon lodge, booked on its own for up to 6 guests. You get two king bedrooms and two baths, the open kitchen and 12-foot dining table, plus the downstairs game room with a pool table, arcade and NEX Playground and a year-round hot tub on a screened patio.



Branson kicks off the season with Veterans Homecoming Week, Nov 5–11, 2026, ending in the Veterans Day Parade downtown, about 5 minutes from the house.

Two days later Silver Dollar City lights up for An Old Time Christmas (Nov 7, 2026 – Jan 2, 2027), just 22 minutes away. Ya'll will love the carols and cocoa!

Planning a December trip? The Branson Adoration Parade & Nativity Lighting fills downtown with holiday cheer on Sunday, Dec 6, 2026.



In season, walk to Branson Canyon's community pools with a slide and splash pad. Grill on the covered deck with mountain views, then head out: State Park Marina on Table Rock Lake is about 10 minutes away, Branson Landing about 15 and Silver Dollar City about 25.



Couples' getaways, small families and friends' weekends: all the fun of the big house, sized for a smaller group. Your pups are welcome too!

✅ 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 night 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.



😴 Half-Day Stay: Want to linger a little longer? A half-day stay is sometimes available, but not guaranteed. It depends on when the next guest arrives. If it is available, it’s $70.



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