We’ve had a busy spring at Mountain Vista. My blog has taken a backseat because of a huge project with attorney and Oklahoma Hall of Fame member, Bob Burke. Our book, “Explosion of Prosperity, A History of Broken Bow Lake, Beavers Bend State Park and Hochatown” is available for pre-ordering and will be released in June 2021.

What Mountain Vista Guests Are Saying
“Neat, very clean, hot tub was perfect…all appliances were in top shape, beds and mattresses were very comfortable. My friends said they want those for their homes now!”
-Ugonna
“This was a great family getaway. It felt so good to unplug from the world and enjoy nature. The hiking was breathtaking and fishing was relaxing. We had some much needed quality family time.”
-Debbie
“We had a wonderful & safe vacation during the pandemic at the luxurious cabin. The cabin has a lot of privacy, but civilization isn’t too far – so you get the best of both worlds. Jerry & Sherri’s recommendations were great and their hospitality is admirable. Can’t wait to visit again.”
-Nishant
“This is a great cabin and a superb location on a hill with beautiful views. The decks are massive. The area outside is just the best – very secluded and perfect. Beds are all huge. Everything you could want in a weekend rural getaway in the wilderness. Definitely go hiking up the road at Beavers Bend State Park. Highly recommend.”
-Chad
