Our stay was absolutely incredible! The cabin was spotless, cozy, and exactly as pictured. The views were breathtaking, and the peaceful, secluded setting made it the perfect place to relax and recharge. We loved how quiet and private it felt, surrounded by stunning natural beauty. Check-in was seamless, communication with the host was excellent, and everything we needed for a comfortable stay was provided. The drive up added a fun sense of adventure, and once we arrived, it felt like our own little mountain escape. The cabin was ideal for both couples and families, offering plenty of space and all the essentials. We can’t wait to come back and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a serene getaway with unforgettable views!

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.

The view was great. It felt like we were the only 2 on earth. The bed wasn't very comfortable and there is no grass for your dog to go potty which is just an FYI for people with picky potty dogs.

The 5 mile drive to the property was a bit underestimated. Not for the inexperienced driver. Very rocky paths (not a normal dirt road), tight windey roads, and steep hills with loose rock. Luckily only ran into someone once who yeilded well. Roads are not wide enough for 2 vehicles. That being said, the cabin was amazing! We wanted a cabin in the woods to get away from everything and thats exactly what we got! Perfect little cabin for the wife, dog, and I. The view is UNBELIEVABLE!! Hiking was good but again, steep rocky hills. You are deep in the forrest so you truely felt alone in nature. There was no getting away from the rocks so the dogs and our feet are pretty sore. Bed was comfortable and the host was excellent. Very accommodating, nice, and great at keeping in touch with us.

Impressive cabin with all the fixins, including a backwoods drive to keep things bumping. The cabin was immaculate and cozy and comfortable. But the star of the show was the incredible views. Just beautiful, and very worth it.

Beautiful view

Cabin is a 10 out of 10 - - secluded, quiet, clean and has an outstanding view - - you need a truck (which we brought) or a jeep to get there - the road is pretty rough and steep but well worth the adventure to get there!

Perfect Nature Retreat

This is an excellent location for couples wanting seclusion and the silence of nature. The inside of the cabin is amazing, but we spent most of our time on the bed swing enjoying eagles flying and the epic view of mountains and lake.

Perfect getaway!

My boyfriend and I have stayed in a lot of cabins over the past couple years & this is quite easily one of our favorites! Everything is as listed. The views are amazing & so is the drive down to the cabin (though rocky as mentioned). So peaceful & beautiful we hope to be back! We enjoyed morning rain showers, stars, lightning bugs, fishing, hiking, kayaking & so much more. We couldn’t see any other people or lights out on the lake. The perfect secluded spot, we could not be more lucky to have found this listing! Thank you for having us!!

Wonderful Escape

The cabin was exactly what we were looking for. Quaint, rustic, with a fantastic view. Bring your 4x4 to make the climb up a little easier. We brought a TV to use in the evenings, but we didn't even turn it on. Go for the peace and quiet and you will not be disappointed.

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.
