Good to Know Before You Book
Pet Policy
Up to 2 dogs are welcome with a $150 pet fee.

Smoking
Smoking is not permitted inside the cabin in order to preserve the freshness and comfort of the space for future guests.

EV Charger Information

Quiet Hours
Quiet hours are observed from 10 PM to 10 AM out of respect for neighboring cabins and the surrounding community. Sound travels easily throughout the forested mountain areas.

Nature & Environment
One of the most memorable parts of staying in a Broken Bow cabin is being surrounded by nature. Because this property is located in a wooded setting, guests may encounter wildlife and seasonal elements during their stay.

Deer, squirrels, raccoons, turkeys, and other native wildlife are commonly seen throughout the area. The cabin is professionally treated for pests, though occasional insects such as spiders, mosquitoes, beetles, ladybugs, or wasps may still appear, particularly during seasonal transitions or rain.

During spring months, pollen from surrounding pine trees may collect on outdoor surfaces despite cleaning efforts before arrival.

Keeping doors and screens closed whenever possible helps maintain a comfortable indoor environment throughout your stay.

We encourage guests to enjoy the peaceful surroundings while remaining respectful of neighboring cabins and the natural environment. Sound travels easily throughout the forested area.

What To Bring
We recommend bringing groceries, condiments, cooking oils and seasonings, personal toiletries, coffee and creamers, bug spray for mosquitoes and ticks, ice, and firewood with fire starters for the outdoor firepit.

Starter Supply Details
Housekeeping provides a limited starter supply of essential items, including:

• Toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags
• Hand soap, dish soap, and cleaning supplies
• Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash
• Dishwasher pods and laundry detergent
• Coffee supplies (pods, grounds, filters, creamer, sugar)
• Hot tub chlorine for guest use as directed

These items are intended to get your stay started and are not restocked.

WiFi Disclaimer
WiFi is provided as a convenience only and is not considered an essential service of the property. Because cabins are located in rural wooded areas, connectivity and speeds may vary due to weather conditions or regional outages.

Fireplace Disclaimer
Fireplaces are available seasonally from October through April for guest enjoyment.

Closing
Joyful Pines is a lovely match for families and friend groups who want a Broken Bow cabin with a warm, polished feel and plenty of room to enjoy time together. The mix of inviting interiors, outdoor lounging, and pet-friendly flexibility makes it especially easy to settle in.

From lazy afternoons in the hammocks to evenings around the firepit, this cabin offers a relaxed, memorable way to enjoy Broken Bow and Hochatown.

Relaxing Get Away

Our family had a great stay at this house. The house was very comfortable, and the backyard was amazing. We were even lucky enough to see the Aurora lights one night.

Perfect for families!

Joyful Pines is the perfect stay for families! The location was great! It was clean and comfortable. The cabin was well equipped with entertainment, and we definitely enjoyed the hot tub. Having a candy store across the street was great! The kids are already asking to go back!

Perfect Getaway

Enjoyed our 4 night stay at Joyful Pines. Cabin was nicely appointed, and we appreciated the added touches of having some coffee, sugar, dishwashing pods, and laundry pods already provided. The layout is great, and we loved that the deck was fenced in with a little dog pad on the side, so the dog could go out without having to worry about him running off. It is close to all the activities in Hochatown, but just enough North to stay out of traffic during busy weeks. We would be happy to stay at Joyful Pines again.

Great Home Away from Home

There were 6 of us, this home is laid out perfectly for the number of people we had, two master suites and an upstairs room that was perfect for teens. The kitchen and bathrooms were well equipped, I didn’t need anything I couldn’t find. Take some clothes and your food and you’re set. The outdoor amenities were wonderful, hot tub, games, a fire pit and more. Be sure to take advantage of this beautiful facility.

Great experience!

My family of 5 that includes 3 boys (13, 9, and 7) went to this cabin, along with Mom and Aunt that are in their 70's. We all had a WONDERFUL time! The cabin was beautiful and had so many windows. We roasted hot dogs and made smores at the huge firepit. The hot tub was great to hop into every night. We played cornhole and the boys never were bored because there was so much they could do. The cabin feels private but it's also close to everything which was nice. Highly recommend this cabin!

This place was awesome, lots of space outside with different activities around the house, big furnished kitchen, very clean, tvs everywhere, and a hot tub that actually gets hot! If I had a complaint it would be that the “cool” couch is not made for sitting, it’s hard as a rock, but we spent most of our trip outside. Would definitely book again next year!!!
