Tips on Buying A Cabin In Beavers Bend

admin2019-03-14T12:44:57+00:00February 17th, 2015|Luxury Vacation Rentals, Marketing|

Do you love Broken Bow and need tips on buying a cabin in Beavers Bend? Here are a few things we’ve learned through the years.

The tourism industry in Beavers Bend State Park is booming and many people have bought into the lucrative action by purchasing luxury cabins in the Kiamichi Mountains. If you’re considering building or buying a current cabin pay attention to the following details…

Building Vs. Buying an existing cabin: If you want to rent your vacation home and are considering building there are pluses and minuses. You can build exactly what you want but the downside is you will lose approximately a year of rentals due to the long construction time. Luxury cabin construction in Broken Bow is often a slow, tedious process.

Building while living out of town: It can be a nightmare depending on how far away you live from Beavers Bend State Park. The year we build Mountain Vista resulted in about 30 round-trip jaunts to Broken Bow to checkout the progress. Being able to find a builder you can trust is paramount to easing the stress. They’re very difficult to find!

Why is this cabin for sale? There’s usually a good reason a luxury rental cabin is for sale…It hasn’t been renting well! To be a successful in the Broken Bow luxury cabin business your cabin needs to have a unique story. For us, it’s our magnificent views, upscale amenities and seclusion. We’re simply not “just another cabin.” Our aggressive marketing and media experience have helped Mountain Vista become one of the most popular luxury cabins in Oklahoma. We had the cabin rented for many days long before construction was completed.

Who will market the cabin? Do you have the experience to do it yourself? The competition is steep to be successful and it takes much more than a homemade website. Many first-time luxury cabin owners make the mistake of trusting a Beavers Bend cabin management company who already has 20-50 properties available. How will you receive personalized marketing and media attention when you’re competing against this many other cabins on the same website? Will your three-bedroom cabin be recommended by the cabin management company in Broken Bow or the other 15 they have available?

Who to trust for maintenance and repairs? If you live outside of Broken Bow or don’t have local connections you can get taken to the cleaners when trying to have maintenance and repairs on your property. A long learning curve is usually required for new luxury cabin owners in Beavers Bend State Park.

These are just a few tips on buying a cabin in Beavers Bend. If you’re considering renting a luxury cabin to upscale clients let us know. We’ll help you break through the starting gate! Sherri and I can give you additional pros and cons of luxury cabin rentals in Broken Bow. We can also offer high-end marketing and video solutions to enhance your property.

Beavers Bend Cabin Fees

admin2015-01-15T17:03:29+00:00January 15th, 2015|travel blogs|

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!

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.

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!

Beavers Bend Cabin References

Beavers Bend cabin references are an important factor to consider when researching your next vacation getaway near Broken Bow Lake.

Our old friend, Neal Doughty, keyboardist and founder of the iconic band REO Speedwagon gave us permission to use his hit song on the front page of our website a couple of years ago. We go back decades with this rock legend and were thrilled he liked our marketing and was willing to put his name behind Mountain Vista. We receive many “how did you land him” comments frequently. Make sure you see REO Speedwagon in concert this year. They still tour like maniacs and are fantastic to see live.

We love boats, fishing and Broken Bow Lake. What better reference could we have than the CEO of Skeeter Boats, Jeff Stone? Jeff has stayed at Mountain Vista a few times and had great things to say about our vacation home. Jeff is a very nice guy and gave us great tips about how to choose the correct new boat.

Toby Rowland, voice of the Oklahoma Soooners has stayed at Mountain Vista and gave his thoughts on our luxury cabin in Broken Bow on our blog a few years ago. We think the world of Toby and he’s on the way to establishing legendary status at the University of Oklahoma.

Doug Warner, anchor at KSLA in Shreveport has enjoyed our cabin in Broken Bow numerous times and we wrote about his Beavers Bend experience last year. Doug is a former top Oklahoma City news anchor and the leading television personality in the ArkLaTex market.

Legendary sports executive, David Vance, and his wife Yenni have stayed at Mountain Vista and we featured them on our Beavers Bend blog detailing their experience in the Broken Bow Lake area.

One doesn’t buy these types of references…They earn them.

Winter hiking in Beavers Bend will allow you to see for miles through the Kiamichi Mountains due to the foliage being down during December-early March. There are numerous marked trails throughout the area that are safe for your family to hike for miles while enjoying nature.

Visitors continue flock to Broken Bow, OK during the winter months. It’s frigid here today but there are usually numerous days in January and February when the weather is “perfect.”

Broken Bow Christmas Cabins

admin2014-11-20T16:51:26+00:00November 20th, 2014|Christmas, Holiday Travel, outdoors|

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.

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.

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.
