Questions To Ask In Beavers Bend

There are questions to ask in Beavers Bend before reserving a luxury vacation cabin.

Don’t simply settle for what’s on a website. Ask for details. Here’s a few must questions that deserve answers…ask away before renting. This will help ensure that you have an amazing vacation getaway in Broken Bow.

Do you charge cleaning fees? We rent as much as any luxury cabin in Beavers Bend and have for years. We never charge additional cleaning fees. We’ve only had a couple of exceptions when it was necessary to bill guests for leaving the cabin untidy. Make sure you understand what cleaning is expected of you prior to checkout. Leave the cabin tidy and you shouldn’t be billed any cleaning fees with reputable companies.

2. Do you charge for firewood? They’ll love it when you ask this question! If you live in OKC or DFW, firewood is expensive…we know! It’s not expensive to have it delivered in Beavers Bend. Make sure you get free firewood…no exceptions.

3. Do you charge for insurance? Beavers Bend has lots of insurance scams going on. Never pay insurance fees when reserving a luxury cabin.

4. Do you charge hot tub fees? This is a creative guest-gouging add-on charge hitting the Beavers Bend area lately. Our crews clean, drain and sanitize the hot tub between each reservation. There’s no need to pay this charge.

5. Do you charge resort fees? I’m not sure what resort fees are, but I’m sure you don’t need to pay them.

Make it a point to realize when you’re being scammed for additional luxury cabin fees in Beavers Bend. Pet fees are fine, within reason…there’s always a big gamble with a pet staying in a strange place. We’ve been in the dog show world at a high-level for 25 years…You should expect cabin management to be very particular regarding possible pet issues arising.

Take my questions to ask in Beavers Bend to heart. There are many great cabin management companies you can trust in Broken Bow. Find the company and cabin that’s right for you. Visit Beavers Bend soon and remember…never pay add-on fees.

Mountain Vista Unveils New Media With Old Friend

Sherri and I have tried to be on the cutting-edge of technology since building Mountain Vista. Our vacation home has been featured in numerous media markets and enjoyed by many.

We partnered with Mobile Roadie, a Los Angeles media company, and designed an incredible app. Mobile Roadie created apps for the Rolling Stones, Madonna and a plethora of performers, so we felt they could handle us! Our app was the first luxury cabin app in the United States. Thousands have it and enjoy great getaway offers, including the latest news from Beavers Bend on our blog.

When we needed a radio spot to be featured for several upcoming promotions in numerous cities, there was only one choice…

We chose our long-time friend and the best male voice talent in the country…legendary radio host, Brad Copeland. I grew up with Brad and he’s been a great friend since grade school. He began radio at age 12 and was blessed with “booming pipes” even back then.

Tune in and Brad will make you laugh each day during the morning drive on KATT in Oklahoma City.

The Mountain Vista experience you’ll feel when staying at our cabin encompasses many things, including my childhood growing up in Broken Bow. I spent scores of nights watching the sunset aboard a boat on Broken Bow Lake, or around a campfire in Beavers Bend.

I wanted build a great cabin and share those sunsets with others…we did it! The quiet sounds of nature and nightfall in the Kiamichi Mountains is something to behold. Take in a sunset from our deck, you’ll see.

We’re fortunate to share Mountain Vista with many friends. We also share it with strangers who quickly become friends. It’s been a magnificent ride and gets better every year.

There’s a unique bond between many who grew up together in Broken Bow. We’ve moved across the world, but close friends from the past still stay in touch. Perhaps it was something in the water from Mountain Fork River?

I’ve been blessed to have a pal like Brad Copeland since the 1970’s. Brad has a great heart and is an amazing talent. We’re thankful he shared his talent with us, once again.

Thanks Cope!

Fishing Is Great On Broken Bow Lake

BrokenBowLakeGuide.com

Broken Bow Lake’s top fishing guide, Bryce Archey, reports fishing is terrific on Broken Bow Lake.

Bryce and his fishing buddy won a tournament last weekend on the lake and these pictures certainly prove things are back to normal. They landed 19 lbs. for the day, with the largest bass weighing 5.67 lbs.

“The lake level is normal now and all ramps are open. Beavers Bend could be opening in the next 5-10 days,” Bryce said.

Make sure to contact Bryce for an outing this spring on Broken Bow Lake. He provides a tremendously enjoyable day and this picture certainly indicates that’s no tall fishing tale!

Our 20% discount promotion continues through February at Mountain Vista cabin. Arrive on Sunday-Tuesday and enjoy our 20-mile view and luxury amenities. Remember, unlike others, we never charge add-on fees for cleaning, insurance, firewood, s’mores kits or resort fees.

Ripped Off In Beavers Bend

Mountain Vista

“How do I keep from being ripped off when choosing a luxury cabin in Beavers Bend?”

I received this sentence in an email from someone who has stayed at Mountain Vista many times. His family recently stayed at another cabin, we were booked, but they needed a quick getaway to see the towering pines in Beavers Bend.

They chose a cabin that looked great on the website. Nice interior and amenities, but upon their arrival, SURPRISE! It looked like the Beverly Hillbillies were living in the backyard!

“Several junk houses were around the cabin, trash in their yards,” he said.

It’s one of the most common mistakes Beavers Bend luxury cabin visitors make when reserving a vacation rental…not thinking about what’s near the property perimeter. There are many cabins that look fantastic on a website, but another cabin is a bowling ball throw away.

Make sure you see a video or picture of the property-front, back and sides. There are still scores of cabins being built in Beavers Bend and many areas will have you packed in like sardines. There are very nice cabins that are very close to other cabins, but you’ll never see this on their websites.

There is nothing wrong with asking for additional pictures of a cabin if you don’t want to meet the Beverly Hillbillies. Before renting, ask “What will I see several hundred yards in each direction?” You don’t want to travel four hours and spend several hundred dollars per-night only to be disappointed by Granny, Jed, Jethro and Elly picking banjos in their front yard!

Mountain Vista’s Deck View

The Broken Bow Lake area has many great luxury cabins. It’s easy to not get ripped off in Beavers Bend. Just do your homework, ask for references and ask about cabin views. You don’t want a view of Jed Clampett!

Weekends are booking fast at Mountain Vista; only six are available until July. Spring Break dates are nearly full-Memorial weekend and July 4th is currently available.

Contact us at BeaversBendVacations.com and see why Mountain Vista is one of the most popular luxury cabins in Oklahoma. We feature free s’mores kits and Starbucks Coffee.

Unlike the Clampett’s, you won’t hit “Texas Tea” on our acres of seclusion…but you’ll enjoy a variety of gourmet teas…on the house!

Cedar Creek Golf Course Update

A brief Cedar Creek Golf Course update after the recent flooding in Beavers Bend…

Course superintendent Kurt Adams tells me “15 holes are open and it will be a week or two on the other three.”

That’s great news, Cedar Creek is truly a wonderful tract and gets rave reviews from our guests at Mountain Vista cabin.

Don’t forget to pack your clubs on the next trip to Beavers Bend and Broken Bow Lake. It’s one of Oklahoma’s most gorgeous golf courses.
