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.

Birthday Celebration

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.
