Great place to stay would definitely return here.

Squats Watch was a wonderful place to stay. I was very impressed with the decor and also how well stocked with essentials we found it. The atmosphere was very peaceful and calming which was very important for our trip. We had a marvelous time and will definitely recommend this cabin to friends and family.

Absolutely amazing!

My family and I took a last minute get away, and everything was great the moment we walked in! Felt just like home immediately, we also really loved all the Sasquatch stuff around the cabin and the fact that they thought everything to make it comfortable.

Squatch Watch Rocks!

My wife and I have stayed twice at Squatch Watch Lodge and each visit has been sublime. Attention to detail of the property is fabulous, fun, clean and well equipped for us out of towners. We look forward to another visit in the near future.

Needed to relax

We were looking to just get away for a few days and relax and this was perfect for that. The cabin was very nice and comfortable and the location was convenient to some really good places to eat. We would definitely rent this place again in the future.

This cabin was perfect. Clean, fully stocked, and close to everything. We were a bit sad that the pond was not fishable but that did not stop us from enjoying the cabin. My family is already talking about coming back next year. :)

Total Solar Eclipse 2024 Getaway

This cabin was the perfect spot for our very memorable Total Solar Eclipse getaway. The fire-pit was lit and the event happened right above it. How perfect! The cabin was very comfortable and we had the best time in Hochatown. Thank you for having this available for us. L.O.

The BEST Cabin in Hochatown!

My family visits the Broken Bow area often for quick getways. We try to stay at different cabins every visit. This is definitly the most accomodating, perfectly located, beautifully decorated cabin we have ever stayed in! Our daughter and her friend LOVED the loft area! We all enjoyed the games, squatch hunting and the hot tub! The master had plenty of storage and a FAN! Seriously, every detail has been thought of! We will definately be visiting the Squatch Watch Lodge again!!

Amazing for family

This cabin was just perfect for our family of 5. There are not enough good things I cod say to describe our stay, but I can tell you we will be back. The kids slept in the upstairs bed, the mater bed was extremely comfortable. The cabin had everything we needed to enjoy some quiet time just us and the outdoors. We were close to plenty of restaurants and kids activities. But we enjoyed being outside near the pond. We will be back!

Nice Cabin

This was a very well stocked cabin. We loved the decor and everything was nicely thought out. We were disappointed to hear traffic from highway 259 as we were outside around the campfire. It wasn’t as noticeable inside, but it was obvious outside. That was the one downside to the cabin.

Perfect Cabin for a weekend!

Location was super close to everything that we needed and wanted to do. Everything was super clean and just so cozy. The only issue we had was prior to going out I emailed the owners about the pond and whether it dries up in the summer (specifically asked because we were debating between this place for the backyard fishing and another cabin more secluded) they emailed back and said that it has never dried up in the 3 years they've had it and it should be stocked for fishing, but when we did get there it was too low and too scummy for fishing.

My husband and I have been coming to enjoy all that Hochatown has to offer for many years and making wonderful memories with our family. All those adventures inspired us to buy a place of our own to allow us to continue making memories with our family. This place has been our own personal escape from our busy lives in the city and we have loved bringing the kids up on the weekends to enjoy boating, tubing, fishing, hiking and just relaxing by the campfire looking up and the never-ending stars. Being able to buy our own little getaway cabin here has been a dream come true for us and we are so thrilled to share it with all of you.

Why they chose this property

We've used this as our own personal escape and have loved the endless memories we've been able to make with our kids and extended family and friends.
