About this property
Creek Retreat | Heated Pool | Modern Farmhouse
◆ Private seasonal creek: splash, wade & explore ◆ Private pool + hot tub + fire pit ◆ 2 king suites + bunk loft: sleeps up to 10 ◆ Custom 60-game retro arcade console ◆ Secluded acre no neighbors in sight ◆ Personally owned & managed direct host access
Imagine spending the afternoon floating in your private pool while the kids splash in the creek just a few steps away. Evenings end around the fire pit with s'mores, stars overhead, and no neighboring cabins in sight. That's the kind of vacation Mint To Be was designed for.
The outdoor space is unlike anything else in Hochatown. Your private seasonal creek is the first thing kids run to and the last thing they want to leave; wading, stone skipping, exploring. The new play structure is on the other side of the creek, which serves as a backdrop of your kiddos imagination. The gated pool has loungers and plenty of sun. The covered hot tub deck has an outdoor Smart TV and a gas grill. The fire pit is built for s'mores and long conversations. A hammock hangs in the trees by the creek. Cornhole and yard games sit under string lights.
Inside, the space feels as good as it looks. Vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows flood the great room with light. The chef's kitchen is fully stocked for a real group meal, and the dining table seats everyone. The living room has plush seating, a large Smart TV, and a gas fireplace available in the cooler months.
The adults sleep well here. Both king suites are on the main floor, each with luxury linens, a Smart TV, and a private spa ensuite with a deep soaking tub and an oversized tiled shower. These are real retreats not just rooms.
The rest of the crew is handled. The loft bunk room fits up to four with a twin-over-full bunk, a twin bed, and a sleeper sofa plus its own Smart TV.
And then there's the arcade. A custom console with 60 classic games. Pac-Man, Galaga, Donkey Kong. The rematches write themselves.
A few things worth knowing: ◆ Maximum occupancy is 10 guests. ◆ The booking guest must be 25 or older and present for the entire stay. ◆ Pool heating is available September - May at $75 per night and must be requested at least 24 hours before check-in. ◆ The gas fireplace is available October - April. ◆ This is a pet free cabin (no exceptions) ◆ A signed rental agreement and a refundable credit card hold are required to finalize your reservation, the hold is a pending transaction, not a charge.
Mint To Be is privately owned and managed by Turtle Time Properties. When you reach out, you're texting the owners not a call center. We'll have your keycode ready the morning of check-in and a full digital guidebook waiting before you arrive.

Thank you for letting us know and for sharing your feedback. I’m glad to hear the kitchen felt well stocked. I’m sorry about the dishwasher stopping mid-cycle, that’s certainly not the experience we want for our guests. We’ve shared this with our maintenance team so it can be addressed promptly. We appreciate you bringing it to our attention and hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future.
This place was meant to be!! Loved it! Kelli was a text away with all questions answered. We highly recommend this place!!

We had a party of 10 all ages staying at the cabin. We had so much fun. The house is beautiful and had plenty of room. The outdoor patio is gorgeous. Would absolutely stay here again and recommend to anyone needing plenty of space. Plus the pool and hot tub were a huge hit!

We’re so happy to hear you loved the cabin! 🎉 With room for everyone, a beautiful patio, and plenty of fun in the pool and hot tub, it sounds like you made the most of your getaway. Thank you for recommending us — we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
We had a really great time at this property. The outside area, the creek, woods, and privacy were really fun and relaxing. Our boys fished in the creek and explored the woods. The listing is as described, pictures accurate. It rained a lot when we were there and we played a lot of games. We felt the house needs more seating in the living room. There is seating for five. The washer had mold growing on the inside part. I was able to wipe some away, but not all. Our big disappointment was the pool. Our boys loved swimming in it, but I was uncomfortable with how dirty it was. There is black mold growing on the tiles around the outside of the pool and under the tile at the top of the pool inside. I texted the host this with pictures and she did send cleaners out the next day. However, they were not able to clean it. They sprayed some stuff but it didn’t really do anything. This has built up over time from not being cleaned well/properly. If the pool and washer didn’t have mold, I would give the house five stars. Side note: there is a really steep hill you come down near the house. It’s steep until you get to the house. We got used to it, but it is very steep.

Thank you for staying with us and for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re so glad your family enjoyed the creek, woods, privacy, and all the outdoor adventures the property offers. It sounds like your boys made some great memories exploring and fishing during your stay.
We also appreciate you bringing the pool and washer concerns to our attention. We take guest feedback seriously, and after your departure we scheduled a deep cleaning of both the pool and the washing machine to address the issues you noted. Our goal is always to provide a clean, comfortable experience for every guest, and feedback like yours helps us continue improving.
Regarding the driveway, many cabins in the Hochatown area are located on hilly terrain, and our paved driveway is typical of the area. We’re glad to hear your family adjusted to it during your stay.
Thank you again for choosing to stay with us, and we hope to have the opportunity to host your family again in the future.
Property was very clean, and welcoming. Beds were comfortable, and the deck was very relaxing. Property manager was great at checking in, and readily available.

Thank you so much for your review! We’re thrilled to hear your group had an amazing time and that the cabin’s space, kitchen, and outdoor areas — especially the pool — were a hit. ✨ We really appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back again soon!
Sometimes Broken Bow lends itself to loud neighbors due to proximity and layout with other cabins. Mint To Be’s location and the backyard layout are truly peaceful and secluded despite the convenient access. The heated pool sets it apart in terms of amenities - our family loved swimming in March!

Thank you for the great review Baron. I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed our cabin and Hochatown. We love that our cabin is off the beaten path (but still paved).
The home was lovely and it was nice not having other neighbors right next to the property. The back deck was really nice, although weather wasn't cooperative during our stay.

Thank you for the great review Joanna. We agree, the location is pretty special
Everything was clean and well-maintained. The kids loved having their own area in the loft. Plenty of space for our family, inside and out. Would book again.

It's wonderful to hear that everything was up to your standards and well-maintained during your stay. Having a dedicated area for the kids in the loft is always a big hit! The ample space both indoors and outdoors sounds like it was perfect for your family's needs. I'm glad you had such a positive experience, and it's great to know you'd consider booking again. Here's to more memorable times ahead if you return!
My family and I were the first to rent this great cabin everything was great. The communication with Kelli was great we will definitely be going back

Thank you Adam for the 5 Star Review. I am so thankful that you were our first renters. You were wonderful to work with and super understanding as we worked out the new cabin quirks. Come back anytime!
The road to the house was horrible. We should have been told that an higher profile Vehicle would be better to get to the house. The beds were horrible. We tried both king beds and neither one was comfortable. The grill was not clean and it was falling apart and laying on the deck.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry to hear parts of your stay didn’t meet your expectations. I also wish I had known about these concerns during your visit, I’m always available and would’ve happily addressed everything right away.
Road conditions in Hochatown can definitely be hit or miss. Most roads in the area are unpaved and can be rough at times depending on when the city last grades them. While ours isn’t the worst by any means, I’ll update the listing so guests know what to expect when arriving.
Regarding the grill, had I been notified, I would’ve replaced it on the spot. After reading your review, I went ahead and purchased a brand-new grill the same day to ensure future guests have a great experience. We also haven’t received negative feedback about the beds before, but I’ll personally check everything to make sure it meets the high standards we set.
This was really great. The pool was a good size and fit all 9 of us. The outdoor patio with the tv and fireplace was amazing and relaxing even with the kids running around like crazy. The manual made things easy and there was a lot of towels, plenty of utensils, and other kitchen appliances. We only really needed to head into town for milk you can easily spend your whole trip at the house with the right people! Definitely going to book again just wish led we lived a little closer.
Mint to be provided a great experience. I had to make sure we found a place that was suitable for my 1 year old and my teen/adult children. It is a great location. Just a few miles down we enjoyed our time at Beavers Bend state park, zip lining, boat and tube rental, kayaking and more. Kelli provides a very comfortable and clean place. Thank you, hope to come back on our next vaca.

I am thrilled to hear that you loved Broken Bow and our cabin. It was a pleasure working with you. Come back anytime!
We decided to check out Hochatown for the first time and booked this house not knowing what the expect. House was spectacular in terms of sleeping accommodations and cleanliness. We have a 20 month old and 3 year old which can sometimes be scary not knowing if things are “kid friendly” and this house totally was safe for them! Location to shops, brewery, food was a plus. Kelli was quick to respond regarding some questions a had following check-in. Overall 5 star experience. Would happily book this house again!

About the host
Hosted by Kelli
We're not a management company. We're a family who fell in love with Broken Bow and built the kind of cabins we wanted our own families to stay in. Every improvement, every piece of furniture, every amenity was chosen because we believe vacations should help families reconnect, not just give them a place to sleep.
We personally own and manage Mint To Be, which means you have our cell number from the day you book. When you text us, you're reaching the owners, not a property manager, not a ticketing system. We're fast, we're real, and we care about your stay because this cabin is ours.
Before your arrival, we'll send a detailed digital guidebook with everything you need to know about the cabin and our personal recommendations for the area. Our goal is simple: by the time you pull up the driveway, you shouldn't have a single unanswered question.
Why they chose this property
Most Hochatown cabins give you a wooded lot. Mint To Be gives you a private acre with a seasonal creek your group will still be talking about on the drive home.
The combination here doesn't exist anywhere else in the area: a gated pool, a covered hot tub deck, a fire pit, a creek, a hammock, a retro arcade, and genuine seclusion, no neighboring cabins in sight. Two full king suites with private spa ensuites mean the adults in your group get real privacy and real rest. The loft handles the rest of the crew without anyone feeling like an afterthought.
Mint To Be works equally well for multi-family trips, extended family reunions, and groups of friends who want to actually spend time together. Whatever your reason for coming, this is the property that delivers on what it promises.
What makes this property unique
We personally manage this cabin and take pride in being just a text away whenever you need us! You’ll have our cell number for any questions, big or small. Before your stay, we’ll send you a detailed Online Guidebook with all the essentials on the condo and a handy local guide packed with fun things to do. Whether you’re planning a romantic escape, a girls’ getaway, or a family adventure, we’re here to make your stay unforgettable and full of great memories!
