Papa Bear- Broken Bow/Hochatown- 1bd
Papa Bear, part of the Bearwoods cabin group on 12 wooded acres, offers a spacious studio for a slow, relaxing getaway. With a king-size bed, large bathroom, & a full-size kitchen, it`s perfect for a `just one more minute` vacation. Enjoy the crackling wood-burning fireplace inside or head to the private deck with a charcoal grill, covered hot tub, & fire pit overlooking the forest. A large level circle drive makes it easy to pull a boat or trailer. Please note, Papa Bear is not pet-friendly.
Papa Bear cabin is part of the Bearwoods cabin group. Sitting on 12 acres bordering the national forest, these three 1 bedroom cabins enjoy peaceful surroundings while still only being minutes from the Park and Lake. The cabins can be rented individually or as a group. Papa Bear and Mama Bear are joined by a shared utility room which remains locked when rented individually or can be left unlocked if rented together.
If you are ready to get comfortable – head out to Papa Bear. This spacious studio/ honeymoon cabin has what you need for a slow, relaxing, “just one more minute” kind of getaway. Inside you will appreciate the king size bed and large bathroom. And we know you are on vacation, but just in case you aren’t in the mood to drive a few minutes down the road to one of several great restaurants, this cabin has a full size ready to cook kitchen. Prepare to spend a few hours in front of the wood burning fireplace because there is nothing better than the crackle of a real fire. If you liked the inside, you will fall in love with the outside. This is relaxation 101; a large private deck overlooking the forest – complete with a charcoal grill to show off your grilling techniques, a private covered hot tub, & chairs around a fire pit. We will let you take it from here!
Thinking about going out on the lake or taking ATVs out to explore? A large level circle drive makes Papa Bear a great cabin to pull a boat or trailer through.

Located in the heart of Kiamichi country lies the incomparable splendor of Broken Bow, Oklahoma. Surrounded by the natural beauty of Beaver’s Bend State Park, the Ouachita National Forest and the Kiamichi Mountains, this is the place to lose yourself in hunting, fishing, hiking, canoeing. The place to find yourself while surrounded by tall pines, crisp rivers and clean mountain air. The place to make memories that you will draw on for a lifetime.

The park and lake itself are free to enter, there is however a fee to park.
During peak periods you should plan on a wait at most restaurants.
