Beavers Bend Cabin Fees

Beavers Bend Cabin Fees

We’ve told you about exorbitant Beavers Bend cabin fees for months!

The Broken Bow Lake luxury cabin up-charges are skyrocketing for many cabin management companies in Beavers Bend State Park. Add-on charges nearing 20% are popping up everywhere and we’ve received tremendous feedback from tourists who appreciate the consumer tips we’ve provided here on our blog.

We were the first to blog in Beavers Bend many years ago. Back then, we started with only a handful of visitors reading and now thousands flock here monthly for information. That’s pretty cool!

Beavers Bend Cabin Fees

When I travel across the country and stay in hotels one of my biggest pet peeves is add-on charges. Most hotels continue to gouge guests with Wi-Fi fees…That’s ridiculous!

Sherri and I decided when we built Mountain Vista cabin in Broken Bow that we’d never resort to penny-pinching guests with fees like “Resort Charges.” Other unnecessary luxury cabin charges are firewood, insurance and upfront cleaning fees. There’s simply no need for you to pay these. You never will with us!

Our guests at Mountain Vista enjoy the added amenities we provide at no charge…high-end hand soap in addition to free s’mores kits throughout the year. We never use generic products. If I’m spending nearly $400 per-night, even the toilet paper better be expensive…Ours is!

If you own a luxury cabin in Broken Bow and are searching for a marketing and management company that utilizes state-of-the-art media production, contact us. We do things very differently from those who charge you for advertising and placing cheap looking pictures on a homemade website.

Beavers Bend Cabin Fees

Only a handful of Spring Break dates remain available at Mountain Vista and we just opened Valentines Weekend. Remember to do your homework before choosing a luxury cabin in Broken Bow.

Make sure the cabin you see online is truly what you will be renting. The Beavers Bend cabin rental business is competitive and we’ll continue to educate you about the proper way to choose a luxury property.

We’ve told you about others fraudulently using a picture of our 20-mile view on their websites for years…Lately, a few of our competitors are plastering the words “Mountain Vista” on their websites so they will appear to be affiliated with us or have the same views we market. Don’t fall for it!

There are many great cabins in Beavers Bend but very few that don’t have add-on fees. We’ve remained in the upper echelon of cabins in Oklahoma because of unmatched views, seclusion, upscale amenities and loyal visitors who stay with us 4-5 times per year.

Remember, just say “NO” to Beavers Bend cabin fees…we have!

There are numerous hiking trails near the Broken Bow Lake area that will allow you to get plenty of exercise to fight off the added pounds Old Man Winter occasionally delivers.

A few of our favorites are the David L. Boren Hiking Trail, located near Mountain Vista luxury cabin in Beavers Bend. I also recommend going a couple of miles into Beavers Bend State Park and walking near the streams on the Beaver Creek Trail.

Remember to take a first-aid kit, water and something to eat such as a power bar. Use a location app on your smartphone while you are enjoying winter hiking in Beavers Bend. I always wear sunglasses or goggles to protect my eyes from tree limbs during my hiking adventures.

Broken Bow Christmas Cabins

Broken Bow Christmas Cabins

Broken Bow Christmas cabins are in high demand every year because Beavers Bend is a great place to enjoy the holiday season!

There are a few things to consider when searching for Broken Bow Christmas cabins; Does the cabin management company decorate the cabin so you will be able to get in the “Holiday Spirit?”.

Most people staying in Broken Bow Christmas cabins do not want to bother with the hassle of bringing their own decorations. Beavers Bend cabin management companies or owners must foot the bill for decorating cabins… and that does not happen often. Make sure your cabin will be decorated for the holidays.

Broken Bow Christmas Cabins

Do your homework and make sure you will have a fully equipped kitchen with all the extras you will need to prepare a fabulous holiday meal.  Guests at Mountain Vista cabin in Beavers Bend who have stayed at other luxury properties in Broken Bow give us great feedback on our kitchen.  It is always one of the most frequent compliments we receive from visitors. We try and equip it with all the comforts you are accustomed to having at home.

Broken Bow Christmas Cabins

Other factors you should consider before reserving Broken Bow Christmas cabins include:

  • Where is the cabin located? Make sure it is not near another cabin or noisy road. Also verify the addition. Is it an upscale area or in close proximity to a residential area? You do not want to rent a cabin in eyeshot of a trailer park. This happens to people frequently!
  • You get what you pay for. If the rental rate on your luxury cabin seems too good to be true, it probably is. If you find a “cheap” deal, especially when searching for Broken Bow Christmas cabins, watch out. You will be in store for a surprise present at checkout.
  • Add-on fees. You will not be in the “Yuletide Spirit” after seeing your credit card jammed with extra charges for firewood, insurance and cleaning. We never gouge guests with these needless fees at Mountain Vista luxury cabin in Beavers Bend.

 We have enjoyed another tremendous year at Mountain Vista. Our calendar is packed for the holiday season. The popularity and demand to stay in our vacation home has increased far beyond our wildest dreams. Only two weekends remain available this year. Reservations for 2015, including Spring Break and holidays are already being booked.

There are many great Broken Bow Christmas cabins that offer a variety of amenities and price ranges. Choose the one that is right for you. But make sure to do your homework.
