Bella Vista | Lake View Cabin Above Broken Bow Lake



Perched high above Broken Bow Lake, Bella Vista offers some of the most spectacular lake and mountain views in Southeastern Oklahoma. This secluded mountain retreat combines breathtaking scenery, complete privacy, and the peaceful experience of staying surrounded by nature.



Surrounded by National Forest on three sides, Bella Vista is one of only four private cabins on 80 acres. Spend your mornings watching the sunrise over the lake, your afternoons exploring the property, and your evenings relaxing by the outdoor fireplace under a sky full of stars.



Many guests tell us the views are even better in person than the photos.



Guests frequently spot deer, wild turkey, hawks, and other wildlife right from the deck.

Wonderful 30th anniversary trip off the grid and away from the noisy world. Two mile hike down to the lake was refreshing (moderately difficult). No hair dryer. Highly recommend!

Response from VrboOwner on May 30, 2026
Thank you for celebrating your 30th anniversary with us! We're so glad you enjoyed unplugging from the noisy world and taking the hike down to the lake. It sounds like a wonderful getaway. We appreciate your note about the hair dryer. Because our mountain cabins operate on off-grid solar systems, we are careful about providing high-energy appliances that can place a significant demand on the system. For that reason, we do not provide hair dryers. Guests are welcome to bring their own if desired. Thank you again for staying with us and for the recommendation. We hope to welcome you back for another peaceful retreat in the future!

Spring break father-sons trip with my 3 boys. Not our first cabin rental, but this certainly stands out with the best views we've ever had in the area, by far.Cabin was very clean, cozy, with all the little amenities you need. Heaters worked amazing for the rare night down near 25⁰. Communication with Debbie was remarkable - responses in minutes to any question we had. Hike was fantastic. Everything listed in the description is 100% accurate, so do read them. My one nitpick, some hooks to hang jackets or towels in the bedroom and a towel rod in the bathroom would've come in handy.. but certainly nothing preventing us from another visit.Amazing little place with big views.

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review—it sounds like a really special Spring Break trip with your boys, and we’re honored you chose to spend it with us! We’re thrilled to hear the cabin delivered some of the best views you’ve experienced in the area—that’s one of our favorite things about this spot too. So glad you found everything clean, cozy, and well-equipped, and that the heaters kept you comfortable on that chilly night. I truly appreciate your kind words about communication—it’s always our goal to be quick and helpful. Great suggestion on the hooks and towel rod—that’s an easy improvement and we’ll definitely look into adding those for future guests. We’d absolutely love to host you and your boys again anytime!

Wonderful views ! The best part of the cabin is the giant glass windows in living area, kitchen and bedroom which gives you the most beautiful views of the lake and hills ! It is indeed a bit of a off roading - 5 miles with quite steep turns - so definitely advise vehicles with high clearance - but totally worth it. Tip for folks travelling with family - please stock up food, grocery supplied in case you plan to cook, as its quite a journey up there, and woudn’t want to get up and down for getting stuff ! Overall - a fantastic location and highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Debbie

Host profile image
Andy and I have a passion for travel and adventure, exploring incredible destinations like Canada, Mexico, Hawaii, and countless places across the United States. Our journey led us to discover the charm of Broken Bow, Oklahoma, in 2007 when we first began boating and ATVing in the area. We instantly fell in love with its natural beauty and tranquility.

In April 2012, our dream of owning land within the National Forest became a reality. Shortly after, we started building our first cabin, marking the beginning of Bear Creek Vacations. Creating these spaces was not just a personal milestone—it was a way for us to share the magic of Broken Bow with others.

We invite you to experience Bear Creek Vacations for yourself. Whether you're looking to relax, rejuvenate, or simply escape, you'll leave feeling refreshed and grateful you visited. Feel free to reach out with any questions—we’re here to help make your stay unforgettable.
