Welcome to Deep Forest Retreat, a 6-bedroom, 4-bath Ozark Mountain lodge in Branson Canyon with room for up to 19 guests plus little kids. Your crew gets a year-round private hot tub on a screened patio, a game room with a pool table, arcade and NEX Playground, and a 12-foot dining table that seats 14, so everyone can be together under one roof.
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.
Family reunions, multi-family getaways and friends' trips: this is a house built for gathering. 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 $1,500 (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 $70 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!
