Me and my family have a great time together in this beautiful cabin and very spacious every space and was very clean all the towels and stuff, everybody loves to stay and of course weāre coming over for any occasion, thank you so much host for everything
Enough bedrooms for 5 couples. Clean with lots of cabin activities and games. Big enough space for us where we were not stepping over each other. We really enjoyed our family time together at the zen retreat
the stay was amazing and everything the listing stated was a we found it. The entire family had their own space and the furniture matched the personality of the house. Our stay was perfect and everyone really had a great time.
Over all a good place to stay with multiple familyās and kids. Stayed over thanksgiving holiday and had plenty of kitchen items to use. Fire places were amazing. Beds super comfortable and bathrooms were amazing. Never ran out of hot water even with 17 people using all 5 showers.
It was a great place. Loved the house. Nice touches throughout. Had everything we needed and more. Only negative is itās close to the road so you get some road noise. House great so easy to overlook
We have yet to visit a home so well maintained and exactly what was described on the website. We have already decided to visit this wonderful home. The gracious host actually cared about our stay and followed up with us. We would be hard pressed to book another house in Broken Bow.
Our 3-night stay varied from 15 to 21 people each night. The unanimous opinion was āthis was a great choice!ā. The owner communicated well and very responsive to any inquiry. For our needs the most outstanding features where:ā¦the bunk room with beds for 8ā¦the beautiful and spacious bathrooms, andā¦multiple TVāsThe owner had cautioned that wifi could be sketchy; however, our AT&T reception was great.
We had an awesome time and the property was great! We had some reservations with booking the home based on some of the reviews. After staying at this property I would disagree with those reviews and can honestly say the house was great. We had 5 families and with the layout of the house it was never an issue. Also the communication from the property manager was excellent.
We had a great time at this property. Very clean and lots of space for our family. Plenty of towels and bedding was provided. Kitchen was well equipped. However there are a few things that can be improved: more trash bags (2 is not enough), sponge to wash dishes, toilet paper ( for a house that size that can accommodate 20 people, you need more than one extra roll), paper towels. HOWEVER, Owner promptly brought these items to us when we requested them. Will definitely book again.

Hi Roopa, Thank you for your review and feedback. We are glad that your family had a great stay at Zen Retreat. That is always our primary goal as hosts. Please come back and see us again. We would love to host you anytime.
We were group of 17 ranging from a 2 to 76 year olds - 5 families in total, all related. The property was just what we needed. Five spacious masters plus an additional kids room allowed us to to stay comfortably.
The house amenities were great. We grilled, used the outdoor bonfire for smores, watched some TV. All appliances were in pristine condition, and the house was super well appointed and clean. The host would respond to my emails in minutes.
Only caveat to be mindful of is that the location is a bit north of the entrance to the lake. For us, the house was more than worth a couple of extra minutes in the car.
Beautiful House and Good Response to Concerns BUT Not Our Favorite
The house is new and beautiful! It definitely felt smaller than we expected it to, we had 16 people. The kitchen was not as open as other properties that fit this size group...it was pretty tight (and had NO storage for supplies/food other than the refrigerator) . I was surprised to find that it was so close to other houses and it backs up very close to the highway (you can hear the highway noise but we got used to it). There is not a coffee maker, only a single serve coffee machine (difficult for this group size). We had quite a few things that came up and the management was quick to assist us. One issue did take some time to resolve (n and it did take away from our experience. For an hour or two Saturday morning (during coffee and breakfast) most of our guests were not able to be outdoors (main thing to do there) due to sprinklers running with septic water. The septic smell was strong. We were unable to use the fire pit due to a burn ban (no fault of management) and this significantly changed our experience. The outdoor gas fireplace stopped working and a maintenance man was sent to repair it within a few hours. It is a nice house, but I did not have one member of our group say they wanted to return. We have been traveling as a group for 11 years to various vacation homes.

Kaycie, Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry that you were not able to have a 5-star experience that most of our guests are accustomed to at our cabin due to a few issues during your stay. We understand that enjoying the campfires and smores is a big part of the experience for most of our guests and not being able to enjoy them due to the burn ban does affect the overall experience which was beyond our control. Based on your feedback, we have since added a Cuisinart 14-Cup programmable coffee maker to our amenities in addition to the Keurig Coffee Machine. We have also addressed the other issues with the storage, sprinklers and fireplace so they would not be an issue for future guests.
The Zen Retreat was the perfect place for our large group. The house is beautiful, well-maintained, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Our kids especially enjoyed the swing set and the games on the second level, which kept them entertained throughout the trip.We also loved the location and the sense of privacy and seclusion the property offers. I had seen a previous review mentioning road noise, but we never noticed or heard any during our stay.The only minor issue we experienced was with the thermostat, which would occasionally reset. As a result, the upstairs rooms sometimes became uncomfortably warm. While it wasnāt a major problem, it was a bit inconvenient at times.Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would gladly recommend The Zen Retreat to others looking for a relaxing getaway with family or a larger group.
This cabin has all the amenities and more! Your friends and family will love this place! There is plenty of room and great entertaining space! We will definitely be back!
We had 10 adults and 4 children for 3 nights. The house was perfect. We never felt crowded and everyone had there own space to hang out. The back deck area and playground where perfect and is where we all spent most of our time. We also had a local photographer come out to take some family pictures and the grounds proved to be a great backdrop. We will be planning a return trip soon. I also wanted to give 5 stars to the owners. They where in contact before during and after our stay to make sure everything was perfect. Overall great property for a family retreat!
