Family Vacation

The house was absolutely beautiful and so welcoming. We enjoyed our early morning coffee in the fresh fall like breeze in the mornings, while our kids slept. Jerry was so helpful and responds quickly with any questions or concerns you may have. We definitely look forward to going back out and staying again. Definitely a 10/10.

Five star stay

Jerry's place is amazing. We had a wonderful & safe vacation during the pandemic as the luxurious cabin. The cabin has a lot of privacy, but civilization isn't too far - so you get the best of both worlds. Jerry's recommendations were great and his hospitality is admirable. Can't wait to visit again.

Wonderful Getaway

We had an amazing time at this lovely cabin! Everything was perfect for all of us...the horseshoe games, the fire pit, the hot tub, the Christmas decorations! The views are out of this world and we were able to connect with nature during these difficult times! We also appreciate the hospitality of the owners! They made sure everything was working properly and they gave us great recommendations as well! We are glad we chose this cabin and we can’t wait to go back! :)

Avoid this place unless you don't mind being watched!

As noted in the description of the property, the house is on a steep hill. What is not noted is that it is not paved which makes it even more difficult to travel. Three hours into our stay we were approached by security stating the owners were concerned about the number of guest at the property. I know that my contact info was listed when reserving the property. If the owners were concerned(since they were watching us on the cameras) they should have contacted me directly. You know, solve a problem at the lowest level possible. The house was equipped with anything you may need in the kitchen; however, it could use a dusting. The ceiling fans, window panes, even the flowers on the table were dusty. We felt like we were being watched the entire time. We did our best to enjoy our Thanksgiving and checked out a day early!

Highly Recommend

This is a great house and a superb location on a hill with beautiful views. The decks are massive. The area outside is just the best - very secluded and perfect. Beds are all huge. Everything you could want in a weekend rural getaway in the wilderness. Def go hiking up the road at Beavers Bend National Park. Highly recommend.

Family Stay

Property was fabulous but needs are as follows: Wasp and hornet spray is needed for patio deck. Also mattresses in all 3 rooms are comfortable but make so much noise as you either move or get up out of bed. Maybe replacing these would help.

They reside in Norman, OK and spend as much time as possible at "Mountain Vista" in Beavers Bend.

Why they chose this property

The views and secluded acreage are second to none. Sitting on the deck at sunset still takes our breaths away. We 'Baby' Mountain Vista because it's our vacation home. Our guests, many of whom visit several times per year, can sense our attention to detail and appreciate our little surprises!

Mountain Vista Cabin has come a long way since the day we drove up the hill, heard the wind piercing through the towering pines and were captivated with the view. We truly knew at that point this was the place to build! Opening the guestbook is the first thing we do after unlocking the door to our vacation home. The comments are a validation that dreams can come true. We’re blessed to have numerous guests experience Mountain Vista several times each year. We’ve heard a plethora of touching stories about this place. Buried within these four walls are tales of love, laughter, solace and even a party or two! We’ve hosted those welcoming new babies, newly created marriages and sadly, several who enjoyed it here knowing their last days on earth were numbered. This cabin has become much more than just a getaway. Beavers Bend, Broken Bow Lake and our guests have become syncopated with our heartbeats. To this day, we still get excited driving up the hill knowing our dream is just around the slight left curve. It’s our hope you’ll say “It’s been worth it” after taking in the sunset or enjoying a cup of coffee on the deck in the morning. You may also be amazed at the wildlife in this peaceful setting. Our hope is that you learn to see something even more amazing and have a greater love for each other, nature and serenity. When the time comes to say “Goodbye Mountain Vista, our prayer is your visit will cause things to never be the same. They’ll be better because these woods and walls have blessed you as much as they have us.

What makes this property unique

If seclusion is paramount in your requirements when doing research for a cabin in Beavers Bend, then this is the cabin for you. Many in the area do not indicate on their websites that another cabin is 30 feet away. This cabin is on an acreage in the prestigious Southern Hills Addition that offers privacy yet is close to all the local tourist attractions. Our guests tell us they get a little 'down in the dumps' on their last day at Mountain Vista. They hate to leave!
