Summer Update

We’re rolling through the summer at Mountain Vista and swamped with bookings. Only July 11-14 and 17-20 remain open this month.

Guests checked out today and sent us this note:

“Oh my gosh, I honestly can’t tell you how amazing it was and how much fun the kids had! Thank you very much for all the preparation that obviously goes on to ensure that we had a great time!”

We’re fortunate to have earned a loyal following and great visitors for years at Mountain Vista. Our top guest in 2015 stayed with us six times…they’re big-time fans!

No weekends are open at Mountain Vista in July and only two are available in August.

October is a perfect time to visit Beavers Bend cabins and enjoy the famous fall foliage season. Only two weekends remain open…it’s a very popular month.

The Talimena Drive should be on your must-do list when visiting Broken Bow in the fall. It’s convenient for OKC visitors visiting our area. Head to Sallisaw and down to Broken Bow.

The drive is stunning…

The winding roads provide picturesque views of Southeastern Oklahoma. There are plenty of fantastic spots to pullover for photo-ops.

Beavers Bend Fall Foliage Season

Beavers Bend fall foliage season is just around the corner and now’s the time to book your stay at Mountain Vista.

Only a few weekend dates remain available to enjoy our spectacular 20-mile views from the deck.

Oklahoma City residents traveling to Beavers Bend State Park in October and November should take the Talimena Drive. Travel on I-40 East to Sallisaw, OK and venture down Highway 259 South to Broken Bow. Your trip will be incomplete without taking in this scenic jaunt during Beavers Bend fall foliage season.

This route will only add about an hour to your trip but it’s well worth it.

Talimena Drive

When searching for luxury lodging accommodations during Beavers Bend fall foliage season, do your homework. There are 1,000 cabins available for rent, many from owners. Others are marketed by large cabin management companies.

Determine if you want to deal directly with cabin owners or management companies. Many cabins are popping up in Broken Bow lately that are owned solely by management companies.

These cabins are often less luxurious than someone’s vacation home. They exist only for a management company to make a profit. These management companies have 30-50 cabins to juggle. Often the renter is simply a “number” rather than a guest.

At Mountain Vista, you’re surrounded by acres of seclusion and stunning views. Our views are so spectacular that other management companies have fraudulently put them on their websites. I guess imitation is the best form of flattery!

Download our Beavers Bend app for tourist information and special offers. App fans have enjoyed many VIP offers to Mountain Vista through the years. It also pays to be one of the scores who read my blog each month.

We have a special rate for August 12-13 at Mountain Vista. Contact us for details.

As summer draws to a close, plan your Beavers Bend fall foliage season stay at Mountain Vista. It’s our vacation home, not just another cabin rental!
