## Welcome

Deer to My Heart offers a vacation experience unlike any other in Broken Bow. Designed with two separate buildings connected by a breezeway, this thoughtfully crafted retreat gives guests the perfect balance of togetherness and personal space. Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a weekend with friends, you'll enjoy luxurious accommodations, peaceful woodland views, and a private game house that transforms every evening into its own adventure.

Located just minutes from Broken Bow Lake, Beavers Bend State Park, and the excitement of Hochatown, Deer to My Heart is where comfort, connection, and a little friendly competition come together.

## Designed to Bring Everyone Together

The main cabin welcomes you with warm wood finishes, an open-concept living area, and comfortable spaces designed for slowing down and enjoying each other's company. The fully equipped kitchen makes everything from casual breakfasts to celebratory dinners easy to prepare, while the adjoining dining and living areas keep everyone connected throughout the day.

Just across the covered breezeway, you'll discover one of Deer to My Heart's most unique features—a dedicated game house designed entirely for fun. Whether you're challenging one another to a game of pool, watching the big game, or simply relaxing together after a day on the lake, this separate gathering space gives your group another place to create lasting memories.

As evening settles over the forest, the breezeway becomes the perfect transition between excitement and relaxation, leading you back to the peaceful comfort of the main cabin.

## Rest and Recharge

After a day filled with adventure, both king suites provide peaceful retreats designed with comfort in mind.

Each bedroom features its own private bathroom with beautiful rock showers, giving every couple their own private space to unwind. The primary suite elevates the experience even further with a stunning waterfall shower that transforms your evening routine into something truly memorable.

A comfortable sofa sleeper in the living room offers additional accommodations, making Deer to My Heart ideal for couples, small families, or close friends traveling together.

## Sleeping Arrangements

* Primary Suite — King Bed with private bathroom and waterfall shower
* Bedroom Two — King Bed with private bathroom
* Living Room — Queen Sofa Sleeper

**Comfortably sleeps 6 guests with provided bedding.**

## Outdoor Living

The outdoor spaces are designed to encourage guests to slow down and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Relax beneath the covered breezeway connecting the two buildings, soak in the private hot tub after a day exploring Broken Bow, or gather around the outdoor fireplace while your favorite show plays on the television nearby.

As the stars begin to appear overhead, enjoy dinner on the covered patio before ending the evening around the fire pit, sharing stories and making plans for another day of adventure.

Overlooking a scenic dry creek bed and surrounded by towering pines, Deer to My Heart offers the quiet setting that makes every visit feel like a true escape.

We had a great 3 days at Deer to my Heart. Everything was per the listing, we did have a couple minor issues that the owner cleared up quickly. The setting is private, great rear balcony view. Very nice finishes, beautiful cabin and would recommend.

Family getaway

We loved the cabin! It was clean and ready to enjoy. When we arrived the tv in the game room wasn’t working but we were able to manage with the other 4 on the property! The next day the tv was repaired and the teen appreciated that! My only recommendation is to add gates to the breezeway steps at the front and another at the back deck leading downstairs. This would really help with keeping the younger kids safe. Also a pull out sofa bed in the game room would be a great addition!! We will recommend this cabin!

Our stay

We love coming to broken bow! We come every year! I was very disappointed in our stay this time. We had absolutely no internet connection whatsoever. That is very frustrating. It wasn’t bc of weather or any reason, like it went out. We never had it. Also, not enough seating for a family of 6. We could never all sit together and visit in the living space or even out back. Batteries in remotes need to be replaced. Light bulbs were out in several rooms. Can opener is broken. The boys enjoyed the game room with the pool table. That is definitely a nice thing to have for kids. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Just needs those things listed maintained.

Clean and Relaxing

Enjoyed my stay, Was a little disappointed that it wasn't more secluded but still a beautiful area. House was clean, pool table was an added bonus, perfect sunrises to enjoy in the hot tub. And some great memories made.

Thank you! We had a wonderful time!

We enjoyed our stay so much! Two quick suggestions: add a blow dryer to your amenities (we didn’t think to bring one and it was very cold to air dry - lol!) and you need a new can opener!! Other than that - it was fantastic. Thanks again!

Better than the pictures

This place was perfect for our family of 4. We have stayed at several VRBO's, and this one was quality. It was super clean, the decor was awesome, and it was near a cut-de-sac. Loved the area, and the homes are spread out enough that you still have privacy. The location was near many activities, but still felt like we were in the middle of nowhere. Loved the hot tub, outdoor fireplace, and fire-it! The game room was an added bonus! I would highly recommend this place, and would definitely book this property again. The *ONLY* thing I wish it had was some type of lighting around the fire-it area, because it's gets really dark, but other than that, wouldn't change a thing!
