Our cabin, the Sleepy Moose, offers a unique level of privacy as it backs up directly to the vast expanse of the National Forest. This means that nothing lies behind our cabin except for untouched wilderness where you can immerse yourself in the peaceful solitude of the woods.

As of January 2024 enjoy a brand new floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and new game room packed full of your favorite games. Sleepy Moose is on half an acre, surrounded by tall pine trees, and backs up to the national forest. It is a unique cabin located in the heart of Hochatown. All the timber elements, both indoors and outdoors, feature live edge, and solid log construction. The stairs, in particular, have been crafted using 1/2 logs for a unique and rustic touch. The property is adorned with vibrant ferns and meticulously landscaped. In the evening, the entire property is beautifully illuminated by landscape lighting, creating a truly breathtaking sight.

Nestled in the National Forest Boundary area, our charming cabin is a beacon of warmth and welcome amid nature's embrace. With its robust wooden beams and rich, inviting hues, this cozy retreat promises a peaceful escape from the daily grind. Picture yourself unwinding on the wooden deck, lounging amidst lush greenery, or simply enjoying the cozy glow from within. It's your secluded haven, where every moment invites relaxation and exploration, all while surrounded by the serene beauty of the forest. Perfect for those who crave both adventure and moments of peace.

Upon entering the cabin, you will be captivated by the expansive windows, floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and rustic wood posts and accents. The open floor plan seamlessly connects the living room, kitchen, and dining area. The living room features comfortable seating and a large flat-screen TV with streaming capabilities. The fully equipped kitchen comes with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, all the cooking essentials you'll need to prepare a delicious meal, and an Opal nugget ice maker. The kitchen island seats 6 and the dining area seats 4, perfect for intimate dinners or game nights. The spacious windows in the great room and kitchen offer picturesque views of the surrounding forest, creating a delightful sensation of residing in a woodland treehouse.

The downstairs bedrooms comprise one king room and one queen room, each luxuriously outfitted with high-end bedding, extra pillows, cozy throws, and coordinating accent pillows. In addition, each bedroom includes a nightstand with a lamp, allowing for late-night reading without disturbing your companion. Conveniently located between these bedrooms is a well-placed bathroom.

Upstairs, you'll find a charming loft featuring a king-size bed, providing the opportunity to stargaze through the treetops and awaken to breathtaking views. The upstairs ensuite boasts a wall-mounted television for late-night movies or binge-watching your favorite shows. There's also a private seating area in front of the expansive window, perfect for observing nature while savoring a glass of wine. To further enhance your comfort, the ensuite bathroom offers both a shower and a relaxing tub.

Just a few yards away, you'll find yourself immersed in the charm of a spacious, newly-built detached cabin garage, transformed into a game room with rustic pine wood finishes. This open-air garage is packed with all your favorite games, including shuffleboard, cornhole, ping pong, and indoor Pop-A-Shot basketball, making it the perfect space to gather with friends and family for endless fun and laughter.

Welcome to the "wasp season" from November to December and early spring! During chilly nights and early mornings, followed by warm days, wasps tend to gather on rooftops in search of warmth. While it doesn't necessarily mean there's a wasp nest in the house, they are essentially in hibernation mode, seeking cozy spots.

Generally, they won't bother you much, but we kindly ask you to keep the cabin doors and windows shut to prevent them from entering. Just a heads-up: there's wasp spray conveniently located under the kitchen sink in case you need it, but do not spray over the furniture!

Stay buzz-free and enjoy your time in the cabin!

Wonderful cabin!

It was a wonderful trip. The cabin was absolutely perfect, comfortable and cozy. Internet speed was great. The view out back is exactly what I was hoping for. My bed was very comfortable. It was my first time to this area and I really enjoyed it. The outdoor area was definitely the highlight. Absolutely gorgeous. I cannot wait to come back!!

Great house and Great time!

We had a great time at the Sleepy Moose. Location was perfect. My kids loved the game room. Parents loved the hot tub and deck. It was nice to have a large deck and the fire pit in between the game room so we were still all nearby each other. It was nice for a family of 5 because each kid got their own bed and there was no arguing! Everything was ready for us when we arrived and we had a few questions and responses via text and they were very prompt. We would definitely recommend staying here.

Host profile image
Meet Britt and Shannon, a couple who have shared a deep love for the great outdoors and Broken Bow since they tied the knot in 2001. They've instilled this passion in their two children, now aged 11 and 12, and are now living their dream of owning a cabin in their favorite Oklahoma destination. Originally from Flower Mound, Texas, they frequently journey to Broken Bow/Hochatown whenever their busy lives allow. Due to their children's involvement in activities like soccer, violin, and karate, they've decided to share their cherished cabin during the times they're unable to visit themselves. Britt and Shannon sincerely hope that you'll relish your stay at their cabin as much as they do.
