    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.

    Event Policy
    Small events and gatherings may be allowed at the cabin, and a small event fee may apply. Please reach out before your stay to discuss your plans. While we may be able to accommodate more people for events, only the maximum sleeping occupancy is allowed to stay overnight at the cabin.

    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.

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

    • Toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags

    • 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
