Maximum Occupancy: 12
Exceeding the maximum occupancy results in additional charges and/or eviction without a refund.

You will be required to sign a rental agreement.

A $300 security deposit will be temporarily held on your card during your stay and automatically released two days after your departure, provided there are no damages or missing items. Don’t worry—we don’t believe in holding guests “hostage.” We understand accidents happen, and this is simply a standard precaution.
The deposit will be processed through a VRBO-approved, software-integrated third-party service property management software, via a secure email link. This same system will also be used for communication outside of the VRBO platform, including email and messaging.

✱If your reservation is made more than 2 days before check-in, the system will place a “test hold" to verify the payment method. This initial "test hold" will be released after 2 days of verification, and the “actual security hold” will be applied again 2 days before your arrival, as scheduled, for the duration of your stay.

For the safety of our guests, we have installed exterior cameras; one is above the main entrance, facing the driveway, and the other two are covering the rear sliders of the cabin's entrance. They are 24/7 motion activated and record video and sound. We do not permit the following at any time:

No Smoking or Vaping of any kind No Fireworks Permitted No Parties!

Parties or birthday parties and celebrations are not permitted, and we need to be informed in advance if you plan to have any of the above events at our property.

Must be 23 to rent, and person booking must be present at the property during the entirety of the stay.

PETS (Max 2 dogs allowed)
1. Pet Notification and Fee
• Guests must notify the cohosts of the presence of any pets on the rental property on or before the date of arrival.
• The pet fee must be paid through our customer service team on or before the date of arrival.
• The pet fee is $50 per pet.
• Failure to pay the pet fee(s) before the start of the second rental day (after the first night) will result in a $150 charge per pet (payable through our customer service team).
• Failure to pay requested pet fees by the start of the second rental day (after the second night) will result in removal from the property without refunding paid rental fees.
• Guests may have a maximum of two dogs at the rental at one time. If additional pets are found on the property, guests will pay an additional $300 per pet to cover additional cleaning fees.

2. Pet Waste Management
• All pet waste must be picked up and disposed of properly in the designated disposal areas.
• Failure to do so will result in an additional cleaning fee of $100.

3. Pets on Furniture
• To maintain the highest standards of hygiene, pets are not permitted on beds or other furniture. Guests will be responsible for any additional cleaning or damage resulting from non-compliance.
• Each piece of furniture requiring additional cleaning will be charged $100.

Keep in mind that Broken Bow/Hochatown is a rural area and while our cabins are wired for fast Internet, outages can and do occasionally occur. We cannot guarantee your Internet service.

A starter supply of paper towels, toilet paper, bath soap, dishwashing liquid, trash bags, dishwasher tablets, laundry soap, coffee, coffee filters, and salt & pepper will be provided for your stay. All cabins have fully equipped kitchens, washers/dryers, towels, and linens.

The BBQ grill is connected to a propane line. Please clean the grill tray after use to prevent flare-ups.

We drain and sanitize our hot tubs after every check-out.

The fireplace will not be operational from April 1 to October 1.

Furniture and decor are subject to change without notice.

Welcome to the "wasp season" from November to December and early spring! During chilly nights and early mornings, followed by warm days, wasps tend to gather on rooftops in search of warmth. While it doesn't necessarily mean there's a wasp nest in the house, they are essentially in hibernation mode, seeking cozy spots.

Generally, they won't bother you much, but we kindly ask you to keep the cabin doors and windows shut to prevent them from entering. Just a heads-up: there's wasp spray conveniently located under the kitchen sink in case you need it, but do not spray over the furniture!

Stay buzz-free and enjoy your time in the cabin!

Please note that this is a forested area, and there are times when the Oklahoma Forestry Service enforces a burning ban in the area. Fines can be upwards of $1000. Please check online for the current burn ban status before using the outdoor firepit.

The house is very pretty and the host is always available. You do have neighbors but it is very quiet and still provides plenty of privacy. Everything you need is within about a 15-20 minute drive.

Quiet and cozy NYE with the family

Our stay at Holy Guacamole was perfect! The kids loved the bunk room/game room. Check in was as easy as driving up and unlocking the door! The drive quick 15 minute to Hochatown is gorgeous in the mornings, if I do say so myself. We really loved the tall pines around the cabin and cozying up to the fire pit and star gazing at night.

Awesome cabin with plenty of room

This is a wonderful place nestled in the woods about 10 mins from town. Super clean upon arrival, beds were comfortable, plenty of back deck space with privacy. Kitchen was oversized with all the amenities. The separate bedroom areas with baths make it peaceful when you want to have some time to yourself. If you are looking for a nice relaxing place and love to sit outdoors and cook your meals this is top notch.

Holy Guacamole

The place is amazing, lots of room, very well appointed, hot tub, fire pit, outdoor fireplace. It has 3 king suites and a game room with a triple tall bunkbed. We stayed for the solar eclipse and it was just far enough out of town to avoid the crowds. Couldn't have asked for more!!!

Great Stay

The cabin was amazing. It was spotless when we came in, we made sure to clean up as best as we could before we left. We booked our stay about a month in advance. So I feel like there was plenty of time to get the weeds mowed around the cabin (mainly in the back yard and around parking areas). That is my only reason for not giving a full 5 stars. Besides that everything was perfect. The host was very fast at responding and checked in with us throughout our stay.

Great family vacation!

This beautiful cabin had a spacious back porch with plenty of outdoor entertainment for our stay. Plenty of space inside and a huge family size table and bar area in the kitchen. Each bedroom had its own television and beautiful bathrooms. The gameroom had 3 bunkbeds and it was perfect for our teenage daughter and her friend. Host did a great job of communicating and sending information for our check-in and check-out as well as checking on us during our stay in case we had questions or issues.

Great house for a big family!

This was our second time staying at this house - we came back because it was so nice and such a great fit for our family. We love that it's tucked away but not completely isolated. The backyard games are fun and my children loved the swing and hammock. Great kitchen for cooking and had plenty of space to spread out with four bedrooms and a fun bunk room that's great for children. Thanks for another great stay!

Host profile image
After being guests in the area for almost a decade, our family purchased this property to share our love of Hochatown - Broken Bow with as many guests as we can. We are based in North Texas and visit Hochatown - Broken Bow every chance we get!

Why they chose this property

When we first walked into this home, we both exclaimed, "Holy Guacamole! This place is GORGEOUS!" (Hence, the name!) We could immediately envision friends and family gathering and making special memories in this special cabin.

What makes this property unique

Our one-story cabin home has a hard-to-find floor plan. There are 3 king suites, plus a game room bunkroom all on one level! Gorgeous designer appointments throughout, including a double walk-in shower. Floor-to-ceiling windows and tall ceilings provide stunning views of the surrounding forest. Enjoy your meals on the covered deck then head to the lounge area and fireplace for drinks and conversation. The fire pit has seating for 8 and is nestled in a private forest backyard. The hot tub seats 5 and is thoughtfully located on the expansive deck. Whether toasting s'mores, playing a game of corn hole or relaxing by the fire or in the hot tub, this private forest cabin has space for everyone in your group!
