Broken Bow, Oklahohoma; Hot Springs/Lake Catherine, Arkansas

Looking for a four-day, weekend getaway. I'd like to get a cabin on a lake somewhere that has hiking trails, maybe a waterfall or two, that's within 6 hours driving distance. Having nearby amenities - maybe a diner, bar, etc. is enticing, but for the most part, I'll be taking the canoe out, relaxing outside, grilling burgers, hiking, etc.
Toledo Bend doesn't offer much more than fishing. What about Lake Catherine/Hot Springs, Arkansas or Broken Bow, Oklahoma? Are those decent spots? Any preference between the two, and do you have a decent cabin rental suggestion?

Took the family to Hot Springs last year for a quick trip. Rented a house on Lake Hamilton. Did Garvan Gardens hike, hiked to waterfall in Lake Catherine State Park and did a tubing trip near Glenwood, Ark. Downtown Hot Springs has a few good restaurants and a cool brewery on Bath House Row.
The house was very nice and had a boat dock and awesome outdoor kitchen next to lake, but probably not a cabin like you are looking for. We enjoyed it for what it's worth.

I prefer Broken Bow. The lake and the river are both fun. Don't take a canoe on the river because there are some rock chutes that are narrow for maneuvering a canoe but there are kayak rental places and it's fun. The lake is very easy for canoes, boats, jet skis, etc.
Some bars and restaurants that are decent but get busy during peak times. The state park has cabins, camping and a crappy "hotel" thing. The cabins around Hochatown are extremely nice.
Actually, I am getting ready to start an investment venture with a developer friend from across the river. I'm going to be dropping some serious coin on lots/land in that area very soon. Those cabins are being sold pre-construction just off of building plans.

Broken Bow is pretty fun. I never went on the lake but we did swim in the river in the state park. You can rent kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, and fish for trout. Lots of deer roaming around too.
They also have a petting zoo with some semi exotic animals in town. Nice trinket and gift shops as well. A few restaurants and a brewery not too far from the park

Broken Bow is really nice but if you're wanting a lakefront house they don't allow building along the shore.

Go further east to Jasper area and rent a cabin form VRBO. Beautiful scenery, the Buffalo River is great.
