Equipped with your very own Tiki bar + detached game room, fire pit, hot tub and grill, Lovestory is a large farmhouse just 6 minutes from the heart of broken bow, right off of 259. We are near all the action - from zip-lining to horseback riding. Maybe you want to unwind at the lake and rent a boat or simply float the river.

We are in a prime location in the heart of hochatown, we are a stone's throw off of hwy 259, and just minutes from town.

Remember the days of sitting with your friends and family around a tiki bar, roasting marshmallows over an open fire , playing on the playground, and dipping in the hot tub? We want to welcome you back to the farmhouse!

With a tiki bar, hot tub, fire pit, and minutes from all of the action (yes, 6 minutes to the heart of town), you’ll be able to retreat but also not miss out on anything.

Birthday weekend

Great location for a birthday weekend getaway! For my birthday we planned a girls trip to Broken Bow and this house was the perfect location. It was close to all the restaurants and activities. The hot tub and outside fire pit were a must and the game room was a great addition. I would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay. The ad says it’s near the highway and if you don’t care for road noise don’t rent this property- it was a little noisy but the house was great.

Great place outside Beaver’s Bend

The property was great for our family vacation in Beaver’s Bend. The game room and playground equipment were a hit with the kids, and the adults enjoyed the hot tub after the kids were in bed. While not in the park, it was right on the highway, which made for easy access no matter where we were going! We enjoyed s’mores by the campfire and had water gun fights in the large backyard area each night. Many great memories were formed here, and we would definitely come back to visit!

AMAZING

If you are looking for a place to stay in Broken Bow, look no further. This place was perfect, it accommodated two families. Felt just like home. The house is equipped with everything you need. Beds are amazing. The host was very helpful when we questions. The location is close to all the activities; restaurants, lake, shopping, groceries ect. The kids (both 13) loved the game room- actually so did the husbands :) My friend and I enjoyed having our morning coffee stress free. The living room was big enough to accommodate the family while we all winded down to watch TV and play family games. Did I mention the beds were great?! We will definitely come back to this cozy home!

Great house with lots to do nearby

Our stay was great at this house. We initially were taken aback by the road noise, I know the listing said it was near the highway but we didn’t expect it to be SO close. The location was great in that it was very close to so many things, literally just a few minutes drive to lots of Broken Bow attractions and around 10-15 to the state park! We loved it! The house was wonderfully decorated and stocked, we had everything we needed. My kid loved the game room! The only downside to the house was the floor has some issues, and we felt like we were sleeping upside down/falling into a hole in the master bedroom. We slept with our heads at the foot of the bed and were totally fine that way.
