Furnishing Your Beavers Bend Cabin
Glen’s Furniture-Broken Bow, OK
Glen’s Furniture in Broken Bow, OK is your one-stop-shop when furnishing a cabin in Beavers Bend State Park.
Think you can get better furniture deals in OKC or DFW? No way! Their low overhead allows them to pass along savings to customers. This legendary furniture store has been serving the ArkLaTex since 1949.
My family has enjoyed doing business at Glen’s since the 1950’s. Unfortunately the legend, Glen Haley, passed away a few years ago, well into his 90’s. Glen was a dear friend of my family for decades.
He always had a huge smile and joke ready for every customer that walked through the door. Glen’s Furniture has kept the business in the family. Daughter and son-in-law, Bobby Blanque, are continuing his legacy of great integrity.
“We are a high volume/low margin operation with 28,000 square feet of display along with additional 28,000 square foot of warehouse storage. We have a huge selection to choose from and our inventory changes often. We carry most major furniture brands and sell them on average at 1/3 less than our competition. We are here if you need us and are third-generation owners. Our fourth generation is beginning to learn the business and we plan to be here for years to come.”
Sherri and I furnished Mountain Vista cabin from Glen’s and recently added a few new items. As always, the staff was professional, knowledgeable and kind.
You won’t be hounded and surrounded by scores of sales staff. Glen’s Furniture has a relaxed atmosphere and a selection to fit every price range.

Resort Fees Getting Rocked
I’ve done media about luxury vacation rental resort fee scams for years. My feedback has been 99.9% positive…except for those charging you these ridiculous insurance, cleaning, hot tub and incidental fees.
Scores are beginning to take note of the rip-offs, including NBC News.
Resort fees made their way from hotels to luxury vacation rentals a few years ago. These wallet wasters are prevalent in Beavers Bend. We never gouge guests with these charges at Mountain Vista.
Clouds Rolling In At Mountain Vista
The skies are turning grey for many charging resort fees to consumers. The public has become aware and are fighting back. @KillResortFees is a great follow on Twitter. They’ve been at the forefront of educating travelers for years.
Beavers Bend Fall Foliage Update
We’ve noticed a little change in the leaves on our Mountain Vista property, but nothing dramatic yet. Cooler temperatures over the next few weeks will result in beautiful foliage.
Weekdays are available at Mountain Vista in October and November. Remember to find out how close your cabin will be to other renters. Ask if you’ll be near a noisy bar or highway before booking a luxury Beavers Bend getaway.

The fall foliage season is one of the most popular times of the year in Beavers Bend. Here are a few tips to make your trip to Broken Bow more enjoyable.
- Book your luxury cabin immediately. The good ones are filling fast.
- Take the Talimena Drive. It’s a beautiful trip up the mountain offering breathtaking photography opportunities.

If traveling to Beavers Bend from the Oklahoma City area during October to mid-November, I recommend taking I-40 to Sallisaw. Jaunt down 250 South and enjoy the fall foliage. You’ll see picturesque views and experience many winding roads.
There are a few weekdays available in October and November at Mountain Vista.
We do things very differently at Mountain Vista cabin. There are never charges for firewood and s’mores kits. Our fire pit is very popular with guests during the fall and winter months. Others charge $100 for a few logs and do not issue refunds for unused firewood.
Mountain Vista features acres of seclusion in the upscale Southern Hills Addition. We’re minutes away from Mountain Fork River and Broken Bow Lake.
Download our free Beavers Bend app. It features VIP offers to Mountain Vista and other area promotions.
Beavers Bend boasts crisp mornings and chilly nights during October and November. Afternoons are usually filled with sun-kissed days and a kaleidoscope of tree colors.

Bryce Archey, Broken Bow Lake Guide
My friend Bryce Archey had a client land a beast of a bass this week!
This 10 pound hybrid was caught on Broken Bow Lake and is worthy of mounting above the fireplace. Bryce is infamous for his bass fishing knowledge and customer service. He’s been considered the top bass guide on Broken Bow Lake for many years.
“With some cooler temps, hopefully in the near future, fishing will continue to get better. September and October are great months to be out on Broken Bow Lake. If anyone is interested in booking a guided trip on the most scenic lake in Oklahoma, contact me. Dates are filling up fast. Book soon at BrokenBowLakeGuide.com,” Bryce said.

Bryce and I offer fish and stay discounts in conjunction with staying at Mountain Vista Cabin near Beavers Bend State Park. It’s always a great experience being on the water with Bryce.

Rolling Fork Takery Review
Rolling Fork’s Street Tacos Rock!
Rolling Fork Takery is a refreshing new dining concept near Broken Bow Lake and Beavers Bend State Park.
Friends Skip and Shellye Copeland, along with lifelong pal Chris Chandler, recently unveiled healthy dining choices for Beavers Bend fans. Rolling Fork is a huge hit with tourists and locals.
Rolling Fork features a plethora of local farm to fork organic options and a convenient on-line ordering system. We ordered from our iPhone and it was a breeze.

Shey and I enjoyed the street tacos and a chicken salad. Both were superb. The tacos were seasoned to perfection. I could drink their homemade salsa by the gallon!
Healthy Beavers Bend Dining/Great Customer Service
Sherri loved her fresh salad and said the homemade ranch dressing was tremendous.
Superb Chicken Salad
Attention to detail and tremendous hospitality are paramount at Rolling Fork Takery. Upon walking through the front door, it feels like home. Take it and go or relax on their gorgeous outside deck.
If you’re like me and enjoy a little red meat occasionally, their sliders are rated as a powerful option for your palate.

Whether you’re camping or want a quick meal to enjoy at the lake, I highly recommend them. Their menu is updated frequently.
Rolling Fork is located at 5 Coho Road. Only a few minutes from our Mountain Vista Cabin.
