About this property

Mornin' Sunshine - Modern Luxury in the Forest

Mornin' Sunshine is the perfect getaway for couples and small families. Stylish and current design, yet totally warm and inviting. Set on a heavily wooded lot that gets amazing breezes from across the valley, we named Mornin' Sunshine after the stunning sunrises that flood the cabin with natural light.

"This is the most beautiful and thoughtfully curated vacation home I’ve ever stayed in. Everything we needed and wanted was stocked— from an abundant supply of coffee to firewood and more. Our host was incredibly responsive and informative. His guide to the area was perfect—every recommendation was flawless! I truly can’t say enough wonderful things about our stay."

Living Spaces

Walk in the front door and you’ll know this cabin is different. Lots of windows fill the space with light. White shiplap walls, warm, rustic floors and ceilings, and furnishings that make you want to stay and relax. There’s a queen size pullout couch for the kids, with crisp percale cotton sheets to keep them comfy. The kitchen is gorgeous – custom painted cabinets, quartz countertops, black stainless appliances and matte black sink and faucet all exude quality. The tile backsplash pulls it all together perfectly.

Coffee is a priority for us, so there is a Keurig, a drip maker, a french press, and a cold brew maker. The rest of the kitchen is thoroughly stocked. The dining room table is a perfect gathering spot for playing the great selection of board games.

Bedroom

The Serta Hybrid king mattress and crisp percale cotton bedding will lure you in. Little touches like reading lamps, built-in USB chargers, and super cozy blankets just add to the experience. The blue double doors to the deck hint at what waits you outside. There’s a tv with cable mounted above the dresser.

Bathroom

The bathroom is awesome. Soaking tub, huge curbless shower with two heads, and a beautiful custom vanity will make you want to remodel. The tile floor is stunning. The fullsize washer/dryer, iron, and handheld steamer will let you pack light.


Outside Amenities

The decks were hugely important in the design of all our cabins. The front deck is the perfect spot for watching the sunrise and sunsets over the valley. The bar stools out there are favorite coffee and cocktail spots. The back deck has everything we thought you’d want at a cabin: a cozy sitting area by the fireplace and TV, a dining table overlooking the woods, an awesome hot tub with privacy, and a Weber grill tied into our underground propane tank so you never run out of gas.

Steps off the deck is a cool fire pit made of stones from the lot, surrounded with Polywood Adirondack chairs. Firewood is always free and plentiful. The half circle driveway is ideal for a trailer – so be sure to bring your boat or UTV.

Location

Mornin’ Sunshine is in Hochatown – about 20 minutes north of Broken Bow – and is the area that most people are referring to when they say “Broken Bow”.

The Mountain Fork Brewery, Grateful Head Pizza, and lots of our other favorite restaurants are right down the road. The cabin is about a half mile west of the main road 259, just past the Carson Creek entrance to the State Park – a perfect place for accessing Broken Bow Lake. It’s also the perfect gateway to all that hiking, biking and exploring that awaits in the Ouachita National Forest. Once you book, we'll send you a link to a cool App we've developed that should answer any questions you have about the cabin, and provides a dining and activity guide to Hochatown - including maps or the area.


Pets

Well mannered dogs are allowed, with a $50 pet fee.


We invite you to come see what is so special about the area that has become a happy place for us. Our cabins are all designed with our guests in mind, and we strived to think of every detail. Each of them is unique, and we encourage you to come experience all of them.

Thanks for checking out Lake Life Cabins!

Our cabins are all located in Hochatown, just west of the Carson Creek entrance to the Lake. We're minutes from The Grateful Head and Mountain Fork Brewery.

Okay Stay
My family and I arrived early and the cabin was not ready but the property manager was very prompt in responding to our text as well as offering recommendations for places nearby. It could be because of the holiday weekend but the cabin was not very clean or tidy. Towels smelt a bit musty, mirrors were streaked, the shower was not clean and products were left from previous people…as well as just food crumbs all over. The backyard/porch is beautiful and we try to spend a lot of time out there. The hot tub is nice but only has two speeds for the jets. Overall it was an OK stay but will look elsewhere next time.

It was an absolutely wonderful place to stay.
It was an absolutely perfect place for us to stay. It was clean and very well appointed. That said, there always seems to be a few minor repair issues at these Vrbo places, which we use quite frequently. The pocket door to the bathroom was difficult to close and would not close all of the way. The autolock on the front door worked fine to unlock the door but it would not lock upon exiting. We had to lock it from the inside and exit through a rear door we could lock. A storm hit, knocking out television service, which certainly wasn't the owner's fault, but when thing were repaired, the bedroom television still did not work. These things would not deter us from staying here again.

I didn’t want to leave
This was one of the best vacations we have had in awhile. The place was so nice. Stunning inside. Very very clean. It had anything you could need. We cooked a few nights and ate out. We stayed in and played games. Built fires and sat in the hot tub. Dave was absolutely amazing. He made our stay very nice. I loved his texts of suggestions. Very nice touch. We will be staying here again. I highly recommend this or any of Dave’s properties. Best time ever and we didn’t want to leave!

Absolutely Perfect
The moment we walked in the door it felt like home away from home. The atmosphere was crisp and clean, complete with cozy blankets and fireplace. The hot tub was perfect and even secluded for extra privacy. The bed was very comfortable, and the sun came in shining just right every morning. One of my favorite things was making coffee and enjoying the fresh air. The owners were very friendly and helpful in all areas. Will definitely go back.

In my 36 years of life, It was the most relaxing place I've ever been in!
The property was very clean and spacious! The living area was great. The bathroom was magnificent! The beds were the best part of the cabin especially to my wife, and the kitchen I could just stare at it all day! The countertops and backsplash in the kitchen was nice!!! Overall I would give this cabin a 10/10

Absolutely amazing weekend!!!
This place was beautiful! We couldn't have asked for a better cabin, and the property manager was fantastic. From the very beginning when helping arrange flowers to surprise my wife, to dining recommendations, and beautiful hiking trail recommendations Dave was fantastic. Will be coming back to the area, and would stay with any other listing company. 10/10 even though it will only allow 5/5.

Perfect Getaway
The cabin could not have been more perfect for my husband and I to spend 6 days in! It is afabulous cabin that was meticulously clean when we arrived! . It is decorated beautifully down to every detail. The bed and linens are absolutely amazing (like the most comfortable bed ever!!!) as is the double shower and the soaking tub in the huge bathroom! There were thoughtful touches like soap, shampoo and lotion provided as well as a blow dryer. The kitchen was very well stocked also! The owner, Dave Dixon could not have been more helpful! Not only did he send us recommendations of places to go and things to do, he sent links with directions and pictures! Though we did not meet him personally, he seemed like a great guy through all of the text messages we shared! We had such a great trip and will definitely be staying at this cabin again as soon as we can!

Mornin' Sunshine is a lovely cabin. Our favorite spot was the back porch. It is spacious, private and provides a beautiful view of the forest. We have stayed in many vacation rentals over the years, but Dave is the most conscientious and helpful host we've ever encountered. This is a wonderful cabin for a getaway!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We started our cabin adventure in early 2018, when we bought four lots and decided to build 4 one-bedroom cabins - all at once. We've owned vacation homes before, and have rented many when we travel as a family. So we set out to do something different - designing these cabins as the perfect getaways for couples and small families - and using materials and finishes that weren't available in the Broken Bow area. We then outfitted them with everything that we could imagine wanting in a vacation home.

We sold one of the cabins - lot 221 - during construction to a great couple from Texas who shared our vision for how we would finish out the cabin. After many many(!) trips back and forth from Frisco, Texas, we finished all the cabins in the summer of 2019.

Having put so much of ourselves into the design and building of these cabins, we knew it would be hard to hand them off to a management company. So we started our own. Lake Life Cabins continues the theme of doing things differently. Our goal is to have the nicest one bedroom cabins in Broken Bow, and provide the best experiences for all of our guests. We invite you to come see what sets us apart.
