Simmer Down—Unwind in Style w/Shuffleboard, Pool Table, Hot Tub, Firepit

Ready to kick back, relax, and have the ultimate Hochatown getaway? Simmer Down is the perfect blend of first-class comfort and non-stop fun! This stunning luxury cabin has everything you need to make unforgettable memories with family and friends—whether you're soaking in the hot tub, playing a round of billiards, or just enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

With 3,087 sq. ft. of stylish living space and 1,787 sq. ft. of covered decks, there’s plenty of room to spread out and enjoy every moment. The cabin boasts five spacious bedrooms (each with a flat-screen TV), four bathrooms, and even a ramp-accessible entrance, making it a welcoming retreat for everyone.

Step into the Great Room, where a cozy gas log fireplace, two full-size sofas, and four ultra-comfy high-boy chairs invite you to kick back and relax. The kitchen is fully stocked, complete with two refrigerators to hold all your snacks and drinks. Upstairs, the open loft game room is a hangout haven, featuring a pool table, shuffleboard table, and a luxe leather sofa for chilling in style.

Outside, the fun keeps going! Fire up the gas grill on the covered deck, soak in the hot tub, or unwind by the outdoor fireplace while keeping an eye on the playground and fire pit. Need a little extra peace and quiet? Escape to the private upstairs loft deck, the perfect spot for stargazing or a heart-to-heart with your favorite people.

And if you ever decide to venture out (though you may not want to!), Simmer Down is just a mile from the heart of Hochatown and a short drive to Broken Bow Lake, Mountain Fork River, and Beavers Bend State Park.

We loved that this home offer amenities for all ages from the play ground to the pool table. This home was set up with rooms to house our adult family members and younger members! The kitchen was furnished will an abundance of appliances, pots and dishes. They did not skimp on anything.

We had a great stay for our girls trip! We had an issue with the outside TV not wanting to connect to the Wi-Fi. The property manager got back with us right away and immediately sent someone out to fix it. The issue was resolved and we were able to watch the TV outside. Overall, it was a great stay. We would stay there again.

We had the best time at Simmer Down. We wrangled up some extended family and came for a long weekend. We had lots of fun doing activities outside of the cabin, but the best part was coming “home” and relaxing. We enjoyed grilling, hot tubbing, drinking coffee, watching the kids play on the playground, and playing cards on the awesome deck/wrap around porch. S’mores around the fire, of course. We made lasting memories playing pool, watching tv, and having big family dinners around the huge dining room table. We are already ready to come back (preferably in cooler weather next time!). The cabin was so clean and well kept, and it honestly had everything we needed and more. The layout of the cabin is open and perfect for entertaining, but the bedrooms are also private and located perfectly upstairs and downstairs. The rustic decor is so cozy. The only minor issue we had was the Wi-Fi signal being weak (probably because so many of us were connecting to it at once), but who needs strong WiFi while you’re in a cabin in the woods with loved ones?! We would recommend again and again.
