Location
Located near Broken Bow and Hochatown, While Away Lodge keeps you close to Beavers Bend State Park, Broken Bow Lake, restaurants, shops, hiking, boating, wineries, breweries, and local attractions while still feeling peaceful and tucked into the trees.

Most cabins in Broken Bow and Hochatown are located within wooded mountain terrain. Guests should expect typical rural cabin-country driving conditions throughout the area.

Good to Know Before You Book
Pet Policy
Up to 2 dogs are welcome with a $150 pet fee.

Smoking
Smoking is not permitted inside the cabin in order to preserve the freshness and comfort of the space for future guests.

EV Charger Information
This property does not offer an EV charging station. Nearby fast charging stations are available at Choctaw Casino.

Quiet Hours
Quiet hours are observed from 10 PM to 10 AM out of respect for neighboring cabins and the surrounding community. Sound travels easily throughout the forested mountain areas.

Nature & Environment
One of the most memorable parts of staying in a Broken Bow cabin is being surrounded by nature. Because this property is located in a wooded setting, guests may encounter wildlife and seasonal elements during their stay.

Deer, squirrels, raccoons, turkeys, and other native wildlife are commonly seen throughout the area. The cabin is professionally treated for pests, though occasional insects such as spiders, mosquitoes, beetles, ladybugs, or wasps may still appear, particularly during seasonal transitions or rain.

During spring months, pollen from surrounding pine trees may collect on outdoor surfaces despite cleaning efforts before arrival.

Keeping doors and screens closed whenever possible helps maintain a comfortable indoor environment throughout your stay.

We encourage guests to enjoy the peaceful surroundings while remaining respectful of neighboring cabins and the natural environment. Sound travels easily throughout the forested area.

What To Bring
We recommend bringing groceries, condiments, cooking oils and seasonings, personal toiletries, coffee and creamers, bug spray for mosquitoes and ticks, ice, and firewood with fire starters for the outdoor firepit.

Starter Supply Details
Housekeeping provides a limited starter supply of essential items, including:

• Toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags
• Hand soap, dish soap, and cleaning supplies
• Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash
• Dishwasher pods and laundry detergent
• Coffee supplies (pods, grounds, filters, creamer, sugar)
• Hot tub chlorine for guest use as directed

These items are intended to get your stay started and are not restocked.

WiFi Disclaimer
WiFi is provided as a convenience only and is not considered an essential service of the property. Because cabins are located in rural wooded areas, connectivity and speeds may vary due to weather conditions or regional outages.

Fireplace Disclaimer
Fireplaces are available seasonally from October through April for guest enjoyment.

Closing
While Away Lodge is a wonderful fit for guests who want a laid-back Broken Bow cabin with a peaceful wooded feel and plenty of easy outdoor fun. The screened porch, covered gazebo hot tub, and family-friendly backyard make it especially inviting for relaxed group stays.

From slow mornings in the rocking chairs to evenings around the fire, this cabin offers a warm and memorable way to enjoy Broken Bow together.

This was a wonderful rental. The kitchen had more supplied than expected and we needed them. The outdoor space was perfect. My only critic is that the double beds aren’t ideal for big teens or adults and you need at least two glass wine glasses!

Perfect Get Away for the Eclipse

I could not be happier with the While Away Lodge! Our trip was so wonderfully relaxing. This little gem is tucked away and quiet, but at the same time close to some fun eating stops. The lodge is absolutely adorable with everything we needed and more. You will not regret booking the While Away Lodge for your next trip!

Good Stay

The only thing is when we left the house during the day the air turned up and it was hot in the house which made it hot up stairs and it took the rest of the day to cool off but it was still warm upstairs

Family Time

The cabin was wonderful very spacious. Only thing i needed to purchase was a tea pitcher, which i left there for future guest. Very nice stay, and the deer are so friendly. The only bad thing was the traffic getting back to cabin from town. Oklahoma really needs to put 4 lane highway in out there. 10 miles and it took us at least hour.

Great Family Cabin!

This cabin is a great stay for a family! We fit 6 family members and 5 dogs comfortably. This cabin has lots of activities to do at the house! There were many board games to choose from, corn hole, the hot tub & the outdoor fire pit. This was the first family vacation together and we wanted to include our dogs (they are the family too!). I am extremely grateful to Treeline Vacation Rentals for allowing us to bring our dogs. We had a lot of trouble finding a property that could accommodate for our dogs and wasn’t sure the vacation would happen. I am beyond thankful for Craig for making the accommodations so we could bring our fur babies. We had an amazing week at While Away Lodge and can’t wait to return! I would highly recommend While Away Lodge or any Treeline Vacation Rental Properties!

Christmas at Broken Bow

We enjoyed this cabin for our family Christmas. It had a play area outside along with a fire pit and a hot tub. The weather did not permit for us to use all of that during all of our stay but it was all there and I would definitely stay there again it had all the kitchen amenities I could’ve wanted They even had games for us to play. We had a great time. My only drawback from this cabin was I asked beforehand if it would have a Christmas tree up because this again was gonna be our Christmas get together so I wanted to make sure it would have a tree. If not, I needed to bring one well they assured me that it would and so I was very upset when I got there and it didn’t however, I reached out to Craig And he did an amazing job of making it right and I appreciate that so much it made our Christmas get together a lot better and of course we had kids so that was the importance of being decorated for Christmas when you go somewhere this time of year then you really want it to be decorated Craig was available and answered all of my questions in a very timely manner. I would definitely recommend him or any of his rental properties to any of my friends. He was so helpful and that’s what helps make our stay so much better is when there’s someone there that you can talk to and that will help you if you need It
