Enjoyed our stay at Hochatown, the only regret is that it was not long enough. The home has everything needed for a comfortable stay. It rained all day the second day we were there, but it was pleasant to see and hear inside the cabin. I would definitely rent it again.

Very Enjoyable Stay

This was our first stay at a VRBO. My family and I enjoyed a very clean well laid out floor plan. The Management is Top Notch. Will definitely do business again. As for amenities they had more than you could ask for especially in the kitchen. In my family opinion it's all about food, family, fellowship, and fun.

Beautiful Cabin!

Cabin was perfect for our family! Love that all the bedrooms are separated on each end and the playroom/loft for kids was an extra bonus. I will suggest bringing a toddler gate if you have a little one that climbs stairs just to be safe. Hostess/Owner was very quick to respond with our questions. Very pleased with our stay 😉

Our new experience at the Cabin

This was our 3rd time to stay in a cabin at Broken Bow. We have not stay at this one before. Very beautiful and clean. There were a few things I was not happy with when we first arrived. The playground was disassembled when had 7 kids, I called they had someone come out in 20mins, the firewood was complentary but it was wet, we had to buy new wood and both fire places went out on us on night 1 due to lose wires. Overall everything got fixed and we enjoyed our stay.

Makin Plans 9/22

Overall the Cabin was in good shape, however one of the bedrooms bedding was not clean, the other bedroom sheets were pretty worn. Lots of small things need repairing, examples wall receptacles were loose, toilet paper holders were broke. The Video games (which we didn't use) seem to be not working. This was our fourth time to stay in Cabins in the area.

Amazing Broken Bow Cabin!

We spent the week at the Makin' Plans cabin and enjoyed every second! We were a party of 9 that consisted of 5 adults, 2 teens and 2 younger kids. The location was easy to find. The cabin was very clean and actually had more amenities than I realized including a couple of arcade type games upstairs in the game room. We have nothing but positive things to say about this location. If we wanted to make any "upgrade/enhancement" suggestions to the owners it would be to add dimmers to all the public area lights and maybe some sort of sound bar or surround sound to the living room television. These two things would NOT keep us from rebooking as we plan to do very soon but rather something to make the cabin even more over the top! The cabin had more than enough pots/pans and plenty of space for things we brought to cook for the week. The jacuzzi was used each night and added to the winter night experience! I own and operate a hotel management company so internet availability is very important. The cabin exceeded expectations with very strong high speed internet! All in all... amazing experience!

Family Trip

Our stay was very nice. I received emails/texts with instructions on check in and check out. We requested firewood, extra towels, extra forks and the hot tub repair; all was taken care of very quickly except the repair but the hot tub was partially working so we weren't without it. The location was ideal and the house was very clean. The patio was great to relax as was the firepit. They had a fun arcade table that was fun for the kids. All 4 bedrooms had nice king size beds and bathrooms of their own then one more extra bathroom off the kitchen.

Family Vacation

The Family went for the week. Mom, Dad, daughters, son in laws and grandkids. 11 total. We had plenty of room for everyone. It was well stocked for the things we needed while cooking and grilling. So happy to see a washing machine a two dryers. That was perfect for the large load of laundry every day. It was a beautiful house, very big but also very cozy. If we get the chance we will go back. Had a Wonderful time and many great memories made.
