Summit Cabin | 180° Lake Views & Off-Grid Escape
🌄 The Summit House – Off-Grid Mountain Escape
Welcome to The Summit House, where breathtaking views, ultimate seclusion, and an off-grid retreat await! Nestled atop a ridgeline deep in the Ouachita National Forest, this 1,100 sq. ft. cabin offers uninterrupted panoramic views from every room—even the shower! At night, the star-filled sky provides a dazzling display of shooting stars.
This is not your average cabin stay—it’s an adventure. Please read the full description to ensure this unique experience is right for you!
🌿 Escape to Nature—Off-Grid & Eco-Friendly
The Summit House is 100% off-grid, generating its own solar power, well water, and septic system while still providing modern comforts.
✔ No bath or hot tub (to conserve energy)
✔ Well water with filtration (contains natural iron—bring bottled water if preferred)
✔ Starlink WiFi & Cell Service (AT&T & Verizon strongest)
✔ No TVs (unplug & reconnect with nature)
🛏 Sleeping Arrangements
✔ Bedroom 1: King master suite with sliding door to deck
✔ Bedroom 2: Queen bedroom + Twin bed just outside the room
✔ Bathroom: Full bath with walk-in shower & mountain views
The open-concept living and dining space is perfect for gathering, with a bar seating five, a stainless steel kitchen, and an outdoor propane grill on the two-level deck to soak in the views.
Relax, unwind, and enjoy the forest’s natural beauty—whether you’re a hiker, birdwatcher, or just here for the tranquility.

About the host
Hosted by Debbie
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.
