Where to stay when visiting Broken Bow and Beavers Bend
Due to its popularity, there isn’t a lack of Broken Bow cabins to reserve. The challenge is that the search can get a bit overwhelming with numerous options to choose from.
Depending on your party size and personal needs, Linneman’s Ridge may be your best bet. We were graciously hosted there for a two-night stay in exchange for this post.
We lodged at Linneman’s Ridge, a Broken Bow luxury cabin located on a secluded 1.5-acre lot surrounded by 100’ pine trees and amazing views from a two-story deck.
This cabin is brand new and perfect for a family of four, two couples, or a girls trip. This cabin features a double master suite layout with luxury amenities, a wraparound balcony, two fireplaces, a fire pit, games, and a hot tub. The cabin, built into a cliff, sits on a secluded 1.1 acre lot in Timber Creek Estates.
We loved the open floor plan and having a coffee bar, complete with a Keurig, Nespresso, and drip coffee maker. See more photos here.
Both Master rooms have doors leading out to the outdoor patio. The scenic views are breathtaking and relaxing. Anyone could work from home in this luxurious and peaceful cabin.
The place you will want to spend all your time is on the upper and lower decks. Guests can enjoy an outdoor fireplace and hot tub on the lower deck.
Head down the steps to the fire pit and roast marshmallows.
Linneman’s Ridge is perfect for two couples, a small family or a girls’ trip. If you are traveling with a large crowd, check out VRBO for more Broken Bow Cabin rentals that fit your personal travel needs.
