Sitting right at the foothills of the Kiamachi and Ouachita Mountains and surrounded by the lush greenery of the Ouachita National Forest sits Broken Bow, Oklahoma. Over the years, this gorgeous and scenic part of Oklahoma has become a popular tourist destination for those looking to escape the grind of everyday life and relax for a while.

Cast your line into the Mountain Fork River, grab a bite to eat at The Grateful Head or Abendigo’s, cruise on Broken Bow Lake, or check out one of the many breweries in town: the possibilities are endless! No matter how you choose to fill out your itinerary, there’s one crucial part of your trip that you absolutely need to do: book a great place to stay.

Vandell Vacation Rentals offers a variety of luxury cabins for you to choose from for your next trip, and we’re proud to announce we are adding two more cabins for rent: Indigo Nights and Whistling Duck. 

These two cabins are both larger cabins, so they are PERFECT for bachelorette parties, work trips, family reunions, and more. If you want to absolutely rock the socks off everyone on your next group trip, read on to learn more about these cabins and see which one is right for you!

Why Book a Cabin?

We believe that when you go on vacation, where you stay can make or break your trip. After a long day of hiking, fishing, swimming, or whatever else you and your group like to do, you want to come back and have somewhere to rest and recharge!

Sure, you could stay at any old rental property… but what’s the fun in that? Hotels can feel impersonal, cramped, and simply like a place to lay your head at night. In contrast, luxury cabins feel like a home away from home: staying in actually feels like a part of your vacation, if you do it right! 

Still not convinced? Here’s why we think you should rent a luxury cabin:

Amenities

Enjoy all of the amenities you love about day-to-day life! When you stay at a hotel or other rental properties, there’s a good chance you’re only getting the bare bones: a place to sleep, a bathroom, and MAYBE a kitchenette. The few amenities that a hotel can offer, such as a gym and a tiny indoor pool, often don’t make up for the lack of freedom. 

In contrast, staying at a luxury cabin is like having a home-away-from-home, with beds for everyone, a full-sized kitchen, a living room, and plenty of entertainment opportunities. Your cabin is so well-outfitted that you can even plan a whole day relaxing at your cabin into your vacation! 

Comfort

When you think about a cabin, you probably envision an old, run-down log cabin in the middle of the woods. However, luxury cabins are so much more than that! A luxury cabin blends the cozy, warm aesthetic of old-timey log cabins with modern comforts. Enjoy the beauty of natural wood tones and rustic design as well as modern amenities such as running water, electricity, and AC/heating. 

Privacy

At other rental places, you might not always have the privacy you want! At a hotel, you’ll constantly be surrounded by strangers when you aren’t in your room. At the pool, at the gym, in the lobby, 

When you book a cabin, you’ll have the whole place to yourself! Everything– from the kitchen to the hot tub to the outdoor patio– is for YOU and your group only. This level of privacy really allows you the opportunity to relax and unwind! 

Scenery

Oftentimes, hotels are located right smack dab in the middle of the busiest parts of whatever town they’re in. Sure, this adds a convenience factor, as you’re technically closer to all of the attractions in town. However, the light pollution, constant noise, and busyness far outweigh the slight advantage of proximity, making your stay more stressful than relaxing. 

Our luxury cabins are all nestled into the lush scenery of Broken Bow, making for a calm, quaint experience. Wake up to the sounds of rushing streams, chirping birds, and a light breeze rustling through the trees… instead of car alarms and loud voices.

Indigo Nights is a luxurious cabin outfitted with everything you need to stay entertained for your entire trip! Sleeping up to 18 people, this cabin is guaranteed to make sure everyone in your party sleeps comfortably.

Make sure to get your Oklahoma fishing license before casting your line, and get ready for the easiest day of fishing you’ll ever have!
