Good to Know Before You Book
Pet Policy
Up to 2 dogs are welcome with a $150 pet fee.

Smoking
Smoking is not permitted inside the cabin in order to preserve the freshness and comfort of the space for future guests.

EV Charger Information
This property does not offer an EV charging station. Nearby fast charging stations are available at Choctaw Casino.

Quiet Hours
Quiet hours are observed from 10 PM to 10 AM out of respect for neighboring cabins and the surrounding community. Sound travels easily throughout the forested mountain areas.

Event Policy
Small events and gatherings may be allowed at the cabin, and a small event fee may apply. Please reach out before your stay to discuss your plans. While we may be able to accommodate more people for events, only the maximum sleeping occupancy is allowed to stay overnight at the cabin.

Pool Heating Information
Pool heat is available for $150 per night and must remain on for the duration of your stay once activated. The pool heating fee specifically covers the costs associated with heating the pool.

Pool heating must be requested and paid at least 48 hours in advance of your arrival.

Pools will be heated to a maximum of 84°F.

Pool heaters can generally only increase the water temperature by about 30°F above the outside air temperature.

Requests made within 48 hours of arrival or after check-in will be subject to a $50 surcharge.

Last-minute pool heating requests can only be handled between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM.

Pool heating fees are non-refundable, as they cover the cost of running the pool heater regardless of weather conditions or usage.

In extreme cold weather, typically between December and February, pool heat is less effective, especially when temperatures go below 60°F. We recommend using the hot tub as an alternative during cold weather. Pool heating cannot be used when weather is below 60°F.

Pool heaters are not equipped to operate in freezing conditions, and requests during such times will be declined.

Nature & Environment
One of the most memorable parts of staying in a Broken Bow cabin is being surrounded by nature. Because this property is located in a wooded setting, guests may encounter wildlife and seasonal elements during their stay.

Deer, squirrels, raccoons, turkeys, and other native wildlife are commonly seen throughout the area. The cabin is professionally treated for pests, though occasional insects such as spiders, mosquitoes, beetles, ladybugs, or wasps may still appear, particularly during seasonal transitions or rain.

During spring months, pollen from surrounding pine trees may collect on outdoor surfaces despite cleaning efforts before arrival.

Keeping doors and screens closed whenever possible helps maintain a comfortable indoor environment throughout your stay.

We encourage guests to enjoy the peaceful surroundings while remaining respectful of neighboring cabins and the natural environment. Sound travels easily throughout the forested area.

What To Bring
We recommend bringing groceries, condiments, cooking oils and seasonings, personal toiletries, coffee and creamers, bug spray for mosquitoes and ticks, ice, and firewood with fire starters for the outdoor firepit.
