3 Reasons to Plan Your Honeymoon in Branson

The honeymoon is a time to relax after months of planning your special day. Wedding jitters are over and now the two of you are ready to face the world...so let Branson be the first face you see! 

 

Cozy Venues for Two

Chateau on the Lake

Had the camera panned further to the left, you would see a gorgeous view of Table Rock Lake. Castle-like in itself, Chateau on the Lake offers three Romance Packages to spice up your time together. Some amenities offered include a King Room overlooking the stunning Ozark scenery, credit towards the spa, and champagne with chocolate-dipped strawberries delivered to your room. You'll be surprised by all this resort has to offer!

 

Stone Castle Hotel & Conference Center

Stone Castle is a beautiful hotel that features two heated pools, two hot tubs, and a whimsical Gazebo Area with a water garden pond. 

What makes Stone Castle so different are their 36 themed rooms and jacuzzi suites (encouraged for the honeymooners). Some of the most popular suites include the following: Camelot, a charming, medieval-themed room inspired by Camelot itself and the "court of King Arthur's realm"; Clay Cooper's Crib, a country-lover's dream that features barn doors, over-sized bedroom furniture, and cowhide decor.; a Sherlock Holmes suite showcasing a mural of the deducing-duo in a room that will having you dreaming of the 1800's; and Seabreeze, a large room reflecting the tones and atmosphere of a sunny day at the beach. Romantic, right? 

 

Hilton Promenade Branson Landing or Hilton Branson

If the two of you are planning to party it up on your honeymoon, you may enjoy a couple nights at the Hilton Promenade that runs along the Branson Landing! The Landing is the most popular shopping center in Branson, with over 100 shops, restaurants, and attractions to choose from! The Taneycomo Lakefront flows parallel to the Landing so you and your special someone can take a refreshing walk next to the cool waters. On the hour after noon, you'll want to stop long enough by the Fountains to watch a choreographed water-show mixed with fire, music, and lights! If you're looking for a slightly more affordable option, the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel is just two minutes down the road in Historic Downtown Branson (still a quick and easy walk to the Landing). 

 

Crystal Cove Bed & Breakfast and Luxury Log Cabins

Calling all old souls, the Crystal Cove Bed and Breakfast offers their Honeymoon Suite and Victorian Honeymoon Suite! One of the most private cabins, you'll find the Honeymoon Suite at the end of a stone path surrounded by lush nature. The interior includes romantic decor., a canopy log bed, an extra large jacuzzi, a fireplace, and more! For those interested in the Victorian Suite, you will find similar amenities but in a room with high vaulted ceilings, beautiful antique furniture, a dormer window, a slightly larger T.V., a covered private deck, and other additions that showcase luxurious old-world charm. Crystal Cove offers other charming suites to check out as well, including the Antique Train Suite, Music Suite, and the Wilderness Suite! To add a little spice to your night, try one of their special packages, some of which include a jet bed, romantic candlelight setup, a dozen red roses, and massages!

 

The Lodges at Timber Ridge 

Suites at The Lodges just scream, "a romantic night indoors!" The villas here are furnished with a 3-sided fireplace, fully-equipped kitchen, private patio, and whirlpool tub, making it a charming, romantic getaway for you and your loved one!

The Showboat Branson Belle is a riverboat cruise and lunch/dinner show wrapped in one! Lasting approximately two and a half hours, coast along the Table Rock Lake and take in the peaceful sights before watching a variety show full of talented singers, dancers, and musicians while feasting away at your delectable three-course meal!

Downing Street Pour House

Located in the quaint Downing Street Historic District, also known as "The English Village," is the Downing Street Pour House, an English pub-like eatery featuring "American wood fired comfort foods."

Accessible from the Pour House is the Ye Olde English Inn with a lobby you'll want to explore! 

 

MoMo Sushi & Grill

What some may consider a "hidden gem" in Downtown Branson is MoMo Sushi & Grill. In fact, they consider themselves to be the "best locally-owned independent Sushi restaurant in Branson."

Unique Activities for Couples

Beyond the Lens

Beyond the Lens is an incredibly unique attraction in Branson.

Branson Helicopter Tours

This one is for the for the fearless couple, as Branson Helicopter Tours are not for the faint of heart. Well, I take that back, as Branson Helicopter Tours actually run a smooth ride. Offering over 5 different tours of Branson, you will catch a fun and beautiful view no matter which one you choose. The Silver Dollar City Experience tour let's you experience the excitement of Silver Dollar City, White Water, Showboat Branson Belle, Branson Ferris wheel, and more, cruising over nearly all of Branson.

SkateWorld

Looking for an old school night out? SkateWorld has been alive in Branson since 1976, and it shows. This groovy, retro attraction offers a live DJ (wanna request your spouses favorite song?), arcade games, free WiFi, full service snack bar, and fun skate games like red light/green light, limbo, and couples skate.

 

Vintage Paris/Branson Scenic Overlook

Vintage Paris is another locally owned gem hidden away in the backwoods of Hollister, about 10 minutes out of Branson and just down the road from College of the Ozarks. You won't believe how many people have been proposed to here and at the stunning Branson Scenic Overlook just across the street. Vintage Paris serves themed coffees such as the Van Gogh and Napoleon, but they also offer alcoholic beverages and snacks as well! Whether you choose to sit inside or on the covered patio, you will feel the congenial warmth of this quirky, artsy coffee shop!

 

Ferris Wheel

Last stop — the Branson Ferris Wheel. Imagine, what's more romantic than getting ice cream next door at Andy's Frozen Custard, taking a stroll down the eccentric 76 Strip, watching people swing from the 100-foot-tall Skycoaster, and ending the evening sitting together atop one of Branson's best views? It doesn't get more romantic than that.
