Great pet friendly property for a week getaway. The pool was especially nice to come home to in August! Lots of deer come out in the evening. We counted ten one day. The host took care of our every need and answered every question we had. We would definitely book again....

We absolutely loved our stay at You Had Me At Merlot, Broken Bow! Our checkin in-out process was simple. The home was clean, kept up to date, and perfectly appointed for six adults(3 couples) and four minors. The owners have invested in the outdoor amenities that made the experience really fun for the whole family.

This cabin is wonderful! It would be the perfect place for a big family to gather. It has 4 bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and TV, so everyone can have their space. There are several activities to keep you entertained, including a pool table, miniature golf course, horseshoes, cornhole, puzzles, board games, etc. The outdoor deck has plenty of seating and a nice table for meals, in addition to the hot tub. The fire pit has a couple of swings for the kids, which is a fun feature we haven't seen at other cabins. Our favorite activity was the swimming pool. The pool is surrounded by beautiful tall pine trees which shaded the pool in the late afternoon. This worked out perfectly since we were visiting in July during the hottest part of the summer. Every evening from the pool area, we could watch several deer graze in the yard next door. The neighborhood is very peaceful and quiet. We only had one issue which the host addressed quickly. I would definitely stay here again.

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review! It means a lot to hear that you and your group enjoyed everything the cabin has to offer, from the private bedrooms and fun activities to the peaceful setting and pool surrounded by the pines. Watching the deer in the evenings sounds like such a special part of your stay. We're also glad we could quickly take care of the issue you experienced. We'd love to welcome you back for another stay!

Fantastic Cabin! The outdoor patio was incredible! The Fire Pit was amazing. Only thing that was wrong with the property was 3 out of 4 recliners on the love seat and couch were broken. However the property manager may not be aware of this imfe. Other than that we really had a fantastic stay! Thank y’all for such much for an amazing cabin!

Great for all ages

Our stay at You Had Me At Merlot was a wonderful experience. The bedrooms were big and the attached bathrooms were nice!!! Our family enjoyed playing putt putt, horse shoes, billiards and the many other games the property had to offer. The fire pit had plenty of chairs for all of us to enjoy, we especially loved the covered back porch where we spend the mornings drinking coffee, eating meals at the table and spending the evenings lounging on the couches in front of the fireplace. We truly enjoy our stay and will be staying there again next time we are in town.

Me and my family was very impressed with the comfort and features that came with the house. It gave everyone of us something to do and a place to do it. If we wanted we really didn't have to go anywhere but to get food and sightsee some things in the area. I would definitely recommend to friends and family and anyone else that just wanted a lovely place to go and enjoy themselves. Almost felt like home and we was all sad to leave when it was time. I loved the mini golf course and the upstairs gaming area. Also loved the back patio with the hot tub and entertainment area with the TV where we could still watch while being in the tub. At that the place was close to a lot of venues and just about everything Hochatown could offer. This was my first real family vacation with my 6 kids and had plenty of room for everything and everyone. If someone wanted to get away from home but still feel relaxed and comfortable like being home I'd suggest to go to You had me at Merlot. We are still talking about it even now. Thank you so much for having us.
