Cedar Creek Golf Course In Broken Bow, OK

admin2014-08-29T21:27:04+00:00August 29th, 2014|golf, outdoors|

“I’ve heard great things about Cedar Creek Golf Course in Broken Bow, OK but never played it.” I hear this often from tourists who plan to visit Beavers Bend State Park and Broken Bow Lake.

The course is not simply nice…it’s phenomenal. I’ve been on the best courses in Dallas, Tulsa and Oklahoma City. None have the scenic views of this pristine trail. If this were a private course in a metropolitan area, it would be very expensive.

Nestled at the end of a beautiful, winding road a few miles north of Beavers Bend State Park and Broken Bow Lake, this Southeastern Oklahoma gem will steal your heart and become your new favorite course.

I visited with course superintendent, Kurt Adams, about a week ago while visiting our vacation home, Mountain Vista Cabin in Beavers Bend. I enjoyed meeting him…great guy and he really cares about the visitor experience at Cedar Creek.

He keeps the pro shop in great shape and the course looked magnificent. Narrow fairways, towering pines and finely tuned greens make Cedar Creek Golf Course in Broken Bow, OK a popular attraction for locals and tourists.

Our cabin guests have enjoyed many rounds on the course for years. The great thing about Cedar Creek is it’s very inexpensive to play.

Broken Bow Lake Fishing Guide

admin2014-08-17T20:53:56+00:00August 17th, 2014|Dallas travel, fishing|

Searching for a Broken Bow Lake fishing guide? They are highly sought after near Beavers Bend State Park. I recently had the great experience of spending several hours on the lake with Bryce Archey of BrokenBowLakeGuide.com. I now understand why he has been lauded as the best in Southeastern Oklahoma for many years.

Bryce, a graduate of Southeastern Oklahoma State University, is a charismatic bass fishing expert. As we hit the lake in his decked out boat, the learning, laughter and good times began immediately. We scorched across Broken Bow Lake and hit the first fishing spot around 7:00 a.m. Bryce knew exactly where the bass would be schooling and the lures and presentation to use in order to get them to visit the friendly confines of his livewell tank.

.

My buddy along for the trip landed a nice bass on his first cast! Bryce knows Broken Bow Lake like the back of his hand and provided excellent education regarding how wind, weather and lake levels impact having a successful venture on the water.

“I get tremendous satisfaction from teaching people how to catch fish on Broken Bow Lake,” Bryce said. He has fished Southeastern Oklahoma his entire life and considers Broken Bow Lake to be the top lake for anglers in our area.

Bryce paid his dues along the way in his quest to become the premier fishing guide in the Beavers Bend State Park area. “I used to fish nearly all night, park the boat in a cove and catch a few hours sleep, then hit the lake again at daybreak,” he recalled.

When you visit Beavers Bend State Park and the Broken Bow Lake area, hire an expert if you truly want to catch fish, have lots of laughs, and learn about bass fishing. I grew up on Broken Bow Lake but have not had the opportunity to bass fish in several years. One outing with him and I was hooked…So were several nice fish! We had such a tremendous experience that we booked him for second outing.

We caught over 30 and kept 17 nice bass. Bryce will fillet the fish for you at the end of the outing and trust me, lunch was amazing! Contact Bryce Archey at 870-582-4561. He has gift certificates available and accepts credit cards. He also provides fishing equipment.

If you have always thought about hiring a Broken Bow Lake fishing guide, I highly recommend Bryce Archey. His kindness and professionalism are top notch and I promise you it will be fun!

He is in high demand and everyone has spoken highly of him for years…except the fish in Broken Bow Lake!

If we can help arrange a Mountain Vista luxury cabin stay and fishing trip with Bryce for you, contact us at BeaversBendVacations.com or 405-535-8055.

Best Broken Bow Luxury Cabins

admin2019-07-05T17:10:32+00:00August 12th, 2014|luxury cabins, nature, outdoors, travel blogs|

If you are searching for the best Broken Bow luxury cabins in Beavers Bend State Park, there are many “Best Choices” depending on your requirements.

If you have lots of children, bunk beds may be a cabin feature that resonates with you. Our Mountain Vista cabin is a great fit for children, but we intentionally do not have bunk beds in our vacation home.

Bunk beds would be too tight of a fit for our friends who visit Mountain Vista cabin with us. Our acreage and walking trails around the cabin make it a great place for children to explore while enjoying the scenery in Beavers Bend.

When shopping for a luxury cabin in Broken Bow, OK, there are several factors that you should consider before making a reservation:

1. Make sure you will receive personalized attention if needed. If a company is renting 30-50 luxury cabins, how quickly do you think they can respond to you if you are having trouble starting the hot tub?

2. Even if you have reserved a cabin in an upscale addition such as ours in Southern Hills, chances are you may be only feet away from a noisy road. Our Mountain Vista sits high atop a huge hill, away from the traffic and on many acres of private property.

3. Be aware of hidden charge scams. Many cabin management companies charge extra for firewood, insurance and cleaning. Never pay these charges…take your business elsewhere.

Our September promotion at Mountain Vista gives you $100/night off on Sunday’s -Thursday’s. Take advantage of this special opportunity to see one of Beavers Bend’s best luxury cabins at a discounted rate.

Renting Beavers Bend Cabins: 5 Things You Need To Know

admin2014-07-14T21:36:04+00:00July 14th, 2014|Okahoma Outdoors, outdoors, real estate marketing|

There are hundreds of luxury rental cabins in Beavers Bend State Park. How do you choose the one that is right for you? Renting Beavers Bend Cabins: 5 Things You Need To Know:

1. Make sure you are staying in a secluded cabin. Many cabin websites do not indicate there is another cabin only a few feet away.

2. Do not pay “extra insurance” charges. This is just a ploy to gouge you for more money.

3. Do not get “taken to the cleaners!” Never pay “cleaning fee” charges when booking your cabin. This is a new trick that has emerged recently in Beavers Bend. Leave the cabin tidy upon departure or an extra charge should be expected.

4. If a great view is important to you, make sure you will have one. You do not want to be looking out the window at the Jones’ family reunion going on next door.

5. Make sure you will be getting the “Real McCoy.” Validate that all cabin website pictures are truly what you will be experiencing. Other cabin websites continue to fraudulently use our famed 20-mile cabin view for marketing purposes. This is false advertising. Do a little homework and make sure the cabin marketing you see online is ethical and true.

Many cabin rental companies have 40-50 properties. It is virtually impossible to not just be “another renter” under these conditions. It is extremely difficult to provide a personalized touch when a company has hundreds of people checking-in at 3:00 p.m. on the same day!

Follow these five tips and you will greatly enhance the chances of having a memorable Beavers Bend State Park/Broken Bow Lake luxury cabin experience.

Contact us at Mountain Vista cabin in Broken Bow, OK if we can help plan your next trip to beautiful Southeastern Oklahoma. There is a reason why 2-million tourists visit our area annually. Come see for yourself!

Beavers Bend Cabin Management

admin2019-07-05T17:10:31+00:00July 9th, 2014|Marketing, Media, Oklahoma Cabins|

Are you searching for a Beavers Bend cabin management company to market and oversee your luxury property in Broken Bow?

The cabin management game in Beavers Bend State Park is booming for some companies, and often at the expense of luxury cabin owners. Fees, fees and more fees…if you’re a cabin owner near Broken Bow Lake, you know what I mean. Don’t get eaten by buzzards!

Some cabin management companies are charging owners 40% of the nightly rate, plus additional fees for advertising. It’s ridiculous. Many Beavers Bend cabin management companies are even gouging owners with charges for placing photos on their website.

Here’s a few things you should consider before hiring a Beavers Bend cabin management company.

Make sure your cabin management leader conducts site visits and doesn’t just leave this to the cleaning crews. Many of these companies manage 30-50 cabins. Some cabin company leaders go a year or more without stepping into a cabin they manage.
Verify that your cabin management leader is not involved in so many other businesses that the promotion of your cabin suffers.
Evaluate the marketing of your cabin management leader. Is their website outdated and plastered with low-res, cheap looking pictures? Do they use professionally produced video or are they featuring low-budget media?
What media technologies are they utilizing that is unique to the Beavers Bend State Park and Broken Bow Lake market?
Does your Beavers Bend cabin management company communicate with you or simply send out a “fluffy email” every now and then?
Do they provide “extra” amenities for your guests?
Do you really want to be one of 50 cabins on a website? How can they sell yours along with all the others?

Owning a luxury cabin near Broken Bow Lake can be rewarding and profitable. It’s also very expensive if done correctly. Ideally, you should have a media team that can market the unique qualities of your property. With decades of media and marketing experience, we can help.

Tour our website and app. Our cutting-edge technologies, professionally produced videos and Beavers Bend’s only mobile app enables us to reach thousands each month.

Contact us at 405-535-8055 if we can take your luxury Broken Bow Lake cabin marketing to an entirely new level.
