Conveniently located to Broken Bow Lake, Beavers Bend State Park, Cedar Creek Golf Course, Abendigo's Grill & Patio, Grateful Head Pizza, The Blue Rooster, Girls Gone Wine and all the other attractions, or relax at the cabin and enjoy time away from the hustle.

Playin' Hooky features 1.3 acres in a heavily-treed neighborhood with little traffic, so you can enjoy your time here without the noise. The cabin boasts a picturesque, three-story wall of windows in the family room, floor-to-ceiling windows in the open dining room and the master- bedroom. Mature gorgeous pine trees surround the cabin. Playin' Hooky has a fully equipped gourmet kitchen with an oversized island, granite countertops, and double ovens. The large open floor plan, offers plenty of room to enjoy cooking, dining and gathering with your friends and family.

Playin' Hooky has 5 king bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms. Downstairs is the master suite, with access to the expansive covered porch. The master bathroom has two separate his and her vanities, a large walk-in double shower head and a separate soaker tub. Two more king bedrooms, each with a full bathroom and walk-in showers are also conveniently located downstairs. The other two king bedrooms are upstairs, each with a full bathroom and tub/shower combinations and walk in closets. One of the upstairs king bedrooms also has a daybed and trundle bed. The large upstairs game room has a sleeper sofa, two built-in twin bunk beds, and an additional half-bath.

There are numerous activities to enjoy while staying at Playin' Hooky. While inside, catch your favorite team or sporting event fireside near the beautiful stone fireplace. Upstairs in the loft, adults and kids alike will be entertained by a friendly game of foosball or shuffleboard. The newly added custom arcade features a 4500 game multicade. The game room is another great space to chill inside watching a movie on the 75-inch HDTV.

While enjoying your morning cup of coffee or relaxing and reading a book, take in the sounds of nature on the roomy back porch.

This was a great place for my friends and I. We loved the stay. Rooms were nice and kitchen was plenty big enough for cooking. I’m sure anyone here will enjoy it. Only thing to note is if you stay here, make sure to have a car that is not too low to the ground. The road leading in to the driveway has some very large pot holes that you cannot navigate around.

Amazing property

This cabin is absolutely amazing inside and out. There is so much to do that we didn’t feel like we needed to go anywhere to have fun. Kids loved the time here. The communication with the property manager fast and easy, responded immediately to all my questions and kept us informed of everything going on leading up to the trip. We will definitely be coming back to stay here in the near future.

Couples Trip

This was the perfect property for a couple’s trip. Each of the four couples on our trip had their own beautiful room with an en-suite bathroom. The property manager was attentive and accommodating, and the amenities were great. The cabin was very clean, the kitchen was well stocked and the beds were comfortable. The location convenient while still feeling remote—very close to both Grateful Head and Abendigos.

Short getaway

We only got to stay 2 nights, i wish it had been a week. The cabin was great, spacious and clean. The 11 of us never felt cramped. We utilized the large kitchen which was fully stocked with everything you need to prepare meals. The hot tub and firepits were a hit as well. A few people went on a trail walk close by and really enjoyed it.

Family Vacation 2023

Playin; Hooky exceeded our expectations! The Cabin is beautiful and very well stocked/organized! There was nothing the group needed that wasn't available! The host was very great to communicate/work with through the entire process. The cabin location was great for all the area attractions. We highly recommend this VRBO for other large families looking for a relaxing get away, and we would definately book again when in the area! DJ Morgan

A relaxing Thanksgiving

My family had an amazing five day Thanksgiving get away to the cabin. All we wanted was to sit back by the fire, play card games, watch football and slow down from our crazy busy schedule of school and sports commitments in Dallas. That’s exactly what we did, plus, eat way too much turkey. The cabin set up was perfect for our teenagers. Everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed to feed a large family. We can’t wait to go back and stay at Playin Hookey again very soon.

Great House Horrible roads.

The house was fantastic and our stay was great. The roads are absolutely horrendous!! One of our drivers busted a tire and bent a rim. You would think with million dollar houses they could at least use a road grader everyday if needed.

Couple’s Valentine’s Getaway

5 couples wanted a quick Valentine’s getaway. This cabin was perfect because of the 5 king suites. It was very clean and smelled good upon entrance. The kitchen was not only well stocked, it had top notch serving ware and utensils. They paid attention to every detail to make this feel like home away from home. The host’s communication / responses were always swift. This was our 3rd time visiting the area. We will definitely be back for another stay at Playing Hooky. It was the perfect getaway.

Family Christmas

Our family stayed at Playin’ Hooky the weekend before Christmas. It was the perfect setting for our group of twelve. The house was exactly as pictured with the wonderful addition of Christmas decor. The bedrooms were roomy and comfortable, each with its own attached bathroom. The kitchen was very well stocked and even included coffee and snacks! We didn’t use the hot tub but made use of the fire pit, play set and ping pong table. Ranae, the property manager was very helpful and the house was beautifully clean. We would definitely love to return to this wonderful house.

Wonderful Property

This is our second time staying at Playin’ Hooky. First in September 2022 and now November 2024. Our event is a family reunion where we stay at 3 properties. This house was perfect for the couples with kids under the age of 8. It was spotless when we walked in and had everything we needed for the weekend. The cable is dish and we were not able to use it on one day because of dense fog but the owner was extremely communicative and helpful in trying to get it restored. We hope to stay again in 2026 when we have another reunion!

Good memories at a good cabin.

We stayed 5 days. Good looking cabin. Good lay out as well. Rooms were clean and beds felt comfy. Bathrooms were nice. Master bathroom suite is gorgeous. Everything in the house was layed out just right. Beautiful back patio leading out to your own little forest in the back. We saw a family of 7 deer one morning, and they got really close to us. Also, we had 2 visting little cute raccoons 2 nights in a row. Hehe. There was a nice new grill, playset was in good shape, and the firepit was just peaceful and awesome to sit around. The host (Ranae) was very responsive and kind from beginning to end. We had a great time with family and made a lot of memories this year. I would recommend this cabin to others! 😊

Sweet getaway pad !!!

This property was perfect for our group of 16, beautiful inside and out. Booking was easy. Host has been friendly and available with a simple text. Listens to concerns. Oh yeah, property has a new grill, you are welcome lol. This place was worth the price. And lets not forget the well stocked kitchen. First time a kitchen has come close to my version of stocked. I did bring a few super big pans, but I was cooking for 16, lol. Very comfortable home away from home. Thank you Renae.
