Amazing lake view! Cozy kitchen had everything we needed to make yummy meals. Hot water for the shower was much appreciated after long hikes.

If you're wanting a secluded time away, this is where you need to go. The view was as beautiful as the pictures describe and unlike other cabins in the area, it actually IS secluded! It is clean and comfortable. We hiked down to the lake one afternoon and it was just as peaceful! My husband only wants to come back here from now on.

Absolutely Breathtaking

My family and I had a great time staying at the cliff house. The view off the deck and looking out the large windows was truly spectacular. We even enjoyed a short lightning storm one night. Our stay was very relaxing and we’ll definitely be back for another stay. Owners were very nice and helpful regarding our questions.

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.
