Broken Bow, OK

They have a great marketing team.
Many have buyer's remorse.
Some enjoy the isolation.

You’re going to pay beuacoup money to have a cabin in a tiny little town with a pizza shop and a Walmart.

I’m not against getting away for a few days and doing nothing but hanging around, but I’m not paying what they’re asking to do it.

We were there in June and had an enjoyable time. Did lots of hiking and rented a boat for on the lake one day. If you aren't doing a lot of hiking, I could imagine it not being all that interesting. It gets points for close proximity, but I don't see going back anytime soon.

I live fairly vlose to Broken Bow and haven't gone in a years or so.

The cabins are "nice" but expensive. The only activities worth a crap are the lake, trout fishing the river or kayaking the river. You can rent kayaks from some place and it's a fun time. Or I guess you can just hang out in the cabin or hot tub.

But overall, not worth the expense and traffic. Eating out is a pain because there are so few restaurants and they get packed. So plan on cooking most meals at the cabin.

Now a long time ago before it blew up it was pretty cool. Evan from the Turnpike Troubadours and Stoney LaRue were there all the time and it was a cool atmosphere. Now it's just a tourist trap out in the hills.

We've rented several in Broken Bow, but this was our favorite because it was an awesome property, and very secluded. If its just you + the wife and kids, I highly recommend.

Its boring and there's not much to do.

If you're going to go then get a house that has some cool stuff in it and in the yard.

Pretty spot on, my wife and I did a long weekend there in December a couple years ago and really enjoyed it for a nice quiet getaway, but we mostly stayed at the cabin, had coffee on the porch with the deer in the mornings, hung out by the firepit, and drank in the hot tub. The only time we went to town was to eat at Grateful Head Pizza, stop at a couple breweries and I bought some nice steaks to grill one night, and did a few hikes. December is apparently slow season there, so our cabin was fairly cheap. I'd do it again.

Depending on the size of your group, kids, etc there's some cabins with some unique features to keep busy. Some with puttputt courses, saw a few with slides and stuff inside, etc.

If you are coming from someplace with few trees (DFW metroplex) and want some quiet time, its probably worth it. Its pretty compared to what you are used to.

If you are expecting a lot of stuff to do, you are not going to find it there.

Ok yall have convinced me. I’m glad I asked. Not going.

I would do Hot Springs over Broken Bow 10 outa 10 times. Plenty of outdoor activities within 20 minutes. Lake Hamilton has some nice houses on it, and is good for fishing and skiing. Plenty of places to go hiking or just walking downtown. If you, or your spouse, enjoy some shopping there are some places around Hot Springs, and you are only 40 minutes from Little Rock.
