The cabin is beautiful and equipped with everything. We enjoyed the hot tub while gazing at the full moon from under the cover of the amazing porch. The next evening we sat back and soaked in the warmth of a fire in the fire pit.

5 stars all around! My husband & I stayed in this cabin for our honeymoon and it was perfect! We didn't want to do a single thing coming here except to relax & we did just that. The owner made this visit so smooth and easy, he had great communication, made sure we checked in alright and answered some questions we had. The cabin was supplied with everything we needed, from the kitchen, bathroom, room, and board/card games to play. We enjoyed some home cooked meals using the grill, watched some movies and enjoyed the hot tub! I would definitely recommend this cabin! Thank you for making our stay stress-free!

Great cabin!

My husband and I booked this cabin for our anniversary and we were not disappointed at ALL! It is in a great location, very nice, lots of little touches that made us feel very welcomed. This would not be a good cabin to bring children with you but for a couple you couldn't ask for better.

Lovely Little Cabin in the Trees

What a lovely cabin! It was perfect for our weekend getaway from the city for the hubby and I! Nestled in pines but trimmed just enough to enjoy the great view from the cozy patio. Next time we visit Hochatown, Bella Cresta will be where we stay!

About the host

Hosted by Stacy Parkelj

Host profile image
Hi! We are Nick & Stacy Parkelj from Frisco, TX, and we love to vacation any place where we can be close to nature. Nick is from the beautiful country of Slovenia (Google it-it's a secret gem of a place!) where one is always less than 45 minutes from the mountains and forests. When we discovered Broken Bow (AKA Hochatown), we fell in love with the idea that we could be in nature, doing the things we love like hiking and kayaking, within a 2.5 hour drive from our Texas home! We love it so much, we started a cohosting business in Broken Bow in 2021 and now cohost over 30 cabins!
We have 3 adult children, Katya, Jake & Chloe, and 2 fur babies, Lola & Louie. As empty-nesters, we knew that we'd have a bit more time on our hands with no kids in the house, so we decided it was the perfect time for us to buy our 1st dream cabin so that we could escape the hustle-bustle of suburbia at our leisure. We are so excited to rent it out and share our home away from home with others.

Why they chose this property

We've decorated the cabin to the nines. Stacy travels for work and takes note of special touches that make her stays memorable and tries to replicate those in the amenities we provide in our cabin. Our goal is that our guests will thoroughly enjoy the experience and come back to visit often.

What makes this property unique

We privately manage this cabin and pride ourselves on being available to our guests. You will have both our cell phone numbers and are able to text with any questions. We also provide a detailed Online Guidebook prior to your stay with all the details you'll need to know on the home as well as a local area resource guide on things to do. We hope that whether you're coming up for a romantic getaway, a girls' trip or a fun vacation with your family, we can make your experience as fun and memorable as possible!
