Taking The Talimena Drive

Taking the Talimena Drive from Beavers Bend in late October and November offers spectacular views that are unmatched in Oklahoma.

Sherri and I took the drive yesterday as we as we traveled to Norman from our Mountain Vista cabin in Beavers Bend State Park. It is an easy drive for those going back to the Oklahoma City area from Broken Bow. If you take the the scenic route, it adds about an hour to the trip from Oklahoma City to Broken Bow. it is well worth it.

Driving north from Broken Bow through Poteau and Sallisaw offers a kaleidoscope of beautiful colors during the fall. The highway twists and turns feature magnificent views of the Ouachita National Forest. Oklahoma City visitors making the trip from Broken Bow will have easy access to I-40 and be homeward bound when entering Sallisaw, OK.

 
Taking The Talimena Drive

The US Forestry Service has a nice visitor center just south of Heavener, OK. It is well-equipped with information and history lessons that will be helpful when taking the 90-minute Talimena Drive from Beavers Bend State Park.

Taking the Talimena Drive is a great experience. The fall foliage in Southeastern Oklahoma will be at peak levels in about two weeks. We took our trip a little early to see the peak foliage but will do it again later this month.

Taking The Talimena Drive

There are areas along the highway to stop and take pictures of the this scenic region.  Restaurants and gas stations are scarce until you reach Heavener, OK. Fill up with gas before your trip and be prepared for a memorable journey! You will enjoy the beauty of Lake Wister State Park, Winding Stair Mountain National Recreational Area and the 1.7 million acres of the Ouachita National Forest.

Beavers Bend Cabins: 5 Things To Avoid

2019-07-05T17:10:34+00:00October 14th, 2014|luxury cabins oklahoma, Luxury Vacation Rentals|

Beavers Bend Cabins: 5 Things To Avoid

Beavers Bend Cabins, 5 Things To Avoid…You need to consider this information before renting or owning a luxury cabin in Oklahoma. New creative luxury cabin pricing continues to hit the Broken Bow Lake area. Do yourself a favor and “Say No” to these tactics.

1. Paying for firewood… Are you kidding me? You’re in the woods, kenneling is cheap for all of us to purchase. Tell them you can Keep The Fire Burnin’ yourself.

Beavers Bend Cabins: 5 Things To Avoid

2. Paying ridiculous “Resort Fee” charges… I’m not sure what this means, it’s a new fee to visitors of Beavers Bend luxury cabins. I’ve been asked about this one frequently. If you see this charge, ask a few questions.

3. Paying extra cleaning fee charges upfront… If you do this, you deserve to be taken to the cleaners. Leave your luxury cabin tidy upon departure or you should pay an extra charge. Never pay for guest gouging tactics like this.

4. Paying extra insurance fees… This one baffles me and yet scores of visitors continue to pay this unnecessary fee.  Do a little math and you’ll figure out that the cabin management company’s insurance premium + rentals = a great deal for them and a bad one for you.

5. Cabin owners toting the note…As a luxury cabin owner in Beavers Bend for many years, I’ve experienced gouging charges from Broken Bow Lake cabin management companies. If you’re a luxury cabin owner wanting your property marketed properly and ethically, here’s what you need to do:

Demand a nice sign for curb appeal and professionally produced videos and photographs, not the homemade ones you see on various sites. You should also have professionally produced marketing collaterals for your upscale retreat. Don’t settle for minor league marketing.
