Cabin was beautiful! You could sit in the hot tub and look over the pines and feel like you were the only ones for miles. Nothing beats watching the sun rise over the mountains off the deck. Loved our stay!

Comfortable Place To Escape For A Few Days.

Our stay was peaceful. The property managers were easy to communicate with and answered all of our questions. Located at a very nice location at the top of a hill with peekaboo mountain views. All amenities were top rate, the property was very clean, and the atmosphere was relaxing. We will say here again.

Awesome

I have stayed at numerous places and this has to be one of the most incredible places I have stayed at so far. It was so clean and nice, it had everything you could possible need when staying there. The decor of the place was so awesome, nice bathroom and a spectacular walk in shower. I would stay there again.

Perfect Getaway

Great place, great amenities, quiet and peaceful. Loved the blue tooth on the record player so we could stream our own music. Close to hiking trails at the lake, not too far from Broken Bow if you need something you can’t find in Hochatown. Loved it!

Great cabin, terrific view, hosts thought of everything!

The Bella Cresta cabin is amazing. Perfect couple getaway. Great location, great views, great amenities. The deck and hot tub were a wonderful way to relax after a day of hiking or kayaking. They provide practically everything you will need for a great stay. Host communication was superb and the information that was provided prior to arrival was very helpful in planning our activities. Overall great experience and we hope to visit again!

Amazing design and view.

3 fireplaces in perfect locations. Trees provide 60% privacy, some noise from cabins at back yard propertly line ( maybe 30 yds away, will reduce as the pines grow in. Currently the trees are just short enough for you to see the rolling hills for many miles. We plan to return as often as we can afford it. Amazing shower, excellent kitchen, TVs in perfect spots. Maybe add a larger chair in the main room. Something one can nap in ... because we are there to relax after all. This is a great cabin, well worth the money.

Beautiful getaway

My husband and I just wanted a quiet and quick getaway. But 4th of July weekend was not quiet. Only time we could make the trip. I really wanted more secluded and away from the noise but overall, it was a great trip away. We toured the town and if we can find a place, I think we could move there. The home is so well done for some down time. We didn't used the back patio except to step outside and take pictures of the view. Has a great firepit but we did not use that either. We spent a lot of time in town and trying the local restaurants and the casino was fun and the restaurant inside had amazing food as well. Thinking of a family reunion, but want your own space, this is it. Check it out!

About the host

Hosted by Stacy Parkelj

Host profile image
Hi! We are Nick & Stacy Parkelj from Frisco, TX, and we love to vacation any place where we can be close to nature. Nick is from the beautiful country of Slovenia (Google it-it's a secret gem of a place!) where one is always less than 45 minutes from the mountains and forests. When we discovered Broken Bow (AKA Hochatown), we fell in love with the idea that we could be in nature, doing the things we love like hiking and kayaking, within a 2.5 hour drive from our Texas home! We love it so much, we started a cohosting business in Broken Bow in 2021 and now cohost over 30 cabins!
We have 3 adult children, Katya, Jake & Chloe, and 2 fur babies, Lola & Louie. As empty-nesters, we knew that we'd have a bit more time on our hands with no kids in the house, so we decided it was the perfect time for us to buy our 1st dream cabin so that we could escape the hustle-bustle of suburbia at our leisure. We are so excited to rent it out and share our home away from home with others.

Why they chose this property

We've decorated the cabin to the nines. Stacy travels for work and takes note of special touches that make her stays memorable and tries to replicate those in the amenities we provide in our cabin. Our goal is that our guests will thoroughly enjoy the experience and come back to visit often.

What makes this property unique

We privately manage this cabin and pride ourselves on being available to our guests. You will have both our cell phone numbers and are able to text with any questions. We also provide a detailed Online Guidebook prior to your stay with all the details you'll need to know on the home as well as a local area resource guide on things to do. We hope that whether you're coming up for a romantic getaway, a girls' trip or a fun vacation with your family, we can make your experience as fun and memorable as possible!
