Mountain Vista Drone Video

Great drone footage of Mountain Vista captured by our friends at LegendMediaPros this weekend.

Secluded Cabins Are Rare

When researching vacation cabins, make sure a website provides detailed pictures and videos of the property. The top tourist complaint in Beavers Bend is cabins being too close together. Therefore, many cabin companies don’t reveal this.

Make sure you know a cabin’s proximity to a highway or establishment with live music.

There’s no need to worry about this at Mountain Vista!

Choosing A Beavers Bend Cabin Property Manager

“We need help choosing a Beavers Bend cabin property manager.”

I hear this sentence frequently as cabin building continues to boom in Broken Bow. How do you choose one? Do you really need one?

If you’re not a marketing and media expert, you need to rely on a pro. We’ve seen it all during Mountain Vista’s fantastic history.

Maintenance bills being jacked up 30%; cabin owners’ receiving no invoices for work done; charges for advertising and more…

A few tips to consider before entering Beavers Bend’s rental market:

Is the property manager marketing an acceptable number of cabins?
Does the property manager’s bio exude confidence and facts regarding their media and marketing expertise?
Will your cabin be on a state-of-the-art website?
Are you dealing with social media experts?

If you’re unable to answer with a resounding “Yes” to any of these bullet points, engage your safety.

Little things such as having someone return a call promptly is important to luxury travelers. If someone is managing 50-80 cabins-you do the math. That’s lots of phone calls to return.

“Let It Ring Forever More…”

Ah…love this old tune from Electric Light Orchestra. It instantly came to mind after a call we received yesterday.

A nice lady had been calling numerous cabin companies searching for a quick getaway to Beavers Bend. She’d stumbled across our website among “many others.” We were the first to call her back and others hadn’t for several days.

It’s difficult to return calls when you’re overseeing 30-80 luxury cabins. How’d you like to be the owner of an expensive property? You hire someone to market it and the company won’t simply “pick up that telephone.”

There are tons of wonderful companies to do business with in Beavers Bend State Park. But if they won’t return your call promptly…don’t let it bring you down!

Let it ring forever more

Call us at Mountain Vista luxury cabin near Broken Bow Lake. Unless we’re on an airplane, you’ll be surprised that we actually return calls and emails promptly.

When researching luxury vacation cabins in our area, do your homework. Add-on fees continue to pop up among cabin management companies in Broken Bow.

Ask a few questions before forking over your credit card for a Beavers Bend getaway.

Why am I being charged a resort fee?

Will My Beavers Bend Cabin Be Secluded?

One of the biggest questions people want to know when visiting the Broken Bow Lake area is “Will my Beavers Bend cabin be secluded?”

There are about 1,000 cabins for rent in Beavers Bend. Some are cheap, under $100. Many are expensive, well over $400 per night. If you’re choosing an upscale cabin make sure to check references and investigate what the term “secluded” really means on a cabin website.

Look for pictures and video of the property perimeter. Do you homework to make sure there are no cabins 30 feet away…you may not want to hear every word going on at the Jones’ Family Reunion next door!

Mountain Vista in Beavers Bend has three-king bedrooms and private decks boasting a terrific view of nature. When gazing westward, you’ll see a stunning 20-mile of the Kiamichi Mountains. We also have acres of seclusion in the upscale Southern Hills Addition.

The list of “Who’s Who” that have visited Mountain Vista is second-to-none. Dan Boren-former United States Congressman, Jeff Stone-CEO of Skeeter Boats, Toby Rowland-Voice of the Oklahoma Sooners and Jim Traber-Former Baltimore Oriole and OKC radio host, are just a few that have made BeaversBendVacations.com their vacation destination.

We always feature free s’mores kits and firewood. There are no additional charges for cleaning or insurance and there are a few extras that our guests love! You’ll never pay resort fees or incur needless add-on charges at our vacation home.

Mountain Fork River

Many luxury cabins in Beavers Bend tend to oversell how many people they can accommodate. We do just the opposite…your comfort is our priority. Scrutinize any cabin stating they can hold 15-20 people. Sleeping bags scattered all over the place isn’t our style.

July is packed at Mountain Vista but we have dates available in August and September. The fall foliage season is only a few months away and it’s one of our busiest times of the year.

Mountain Vista, Broken Bow, OK

Make sure you know the answer regarding “Will my Beavers Bend cabin be secluded?”

We’d love to help you plan a Beavers Bend getaway. Two-million tourists visit Broken Bow annually for a reason…It’s gorgeous here!

Great Weekend At OKC Toy Dog Show

Sherri and I had a great weekend at the Oklahoma City Toy Dog Show. If you’ve been a visitor to Mountain Vista cabin in Beavers Bend, it’s easy to figure out we love dog shows. There’s usually several show dog magazines located throughout the cabin. We love educating people about this great sport.

We’ve been involved in the American Kennel Club (AKC) dog show world for about 20 years. Initially with boxers and now with our pride and joy, “Kula”, a Champion Brussels Griffon. He’s one spoiled little guy and loves being the center of attention at shows.

He was nationally ranked in his breed last year and will soon be again after this weekend’s performance. He earned two Grand Champion Select awards and will be competing next at the Oklahoma City Summer Classic show in June. The OKC Classic is the sixth-largest show in the United States and “Kula” had a few stellar days at the show last year.

AKC dog shows are a great way to learn about various breeds. Many people attend these shows to gather information about their next pet or show dog from the professionals. You can walk backstage at shows and approach handlers as they’re grooming dogs for the ring.

Dog show people are usually very approachable backstage. Engaging handlers just as they’re about to enter the ring isn’t a good idea. That’s when it’s “showtime”. They’re scouting the competition, analyzing the judge and making sure their dog is mentally prepared.

Sherri has handled “Kula” in the ring during every winning point on the way to his championship. He’s now only five-points away from being crowned a Grand Champion.

Summer dates are going fast at Mountain Vista, especially in July. Limited weekdays remain open in June.

Look for us at a dog show near you soon…we’d love to meet you!

Add-On Fees in Beavers Bend

Pay attention to add-on fees in Beavers Bend before reserving your luxury cabin.

Broken Bow Lake visitors are enjoying fantastic spring weather this week. Just because warmer temperatures have arrived in Beavers Bend, there is no need for your pocketbook to become overheated because of needless luxury cabin fees.

A plethora of cabin management companies are charging over 20% for add-on fees in Beavers Bend. These wallet-stuffing surcharges include cleaning, insurance, firewood and resort fees. We never gouge guests with these fees at Mountain Vista.

Scores of luxury cabin owners and visitors have told us they appreciate Broken Bow cabin renting tips like this on our blog. We feel add-on fees in Beavers Bend are unnecessary. Our blog continues to grow and is read by thousands each month. We try to provide education about the area and also help you save money along the way.

In addition to add-on fees in Beavers Bend, there is another critical element you need to consider before renting a luxury cabin in Broken Bow. How secluded is it? Websites pictures can often be deceiving and you arrive to find the Smith’s family reunion is only a few yards away next door!

Make sure you will truly have a secluded acreage before renting a cabin. There are many wonderful cabins in Beavers Bend. Some are very nice but not secluded. Many are secluded…do your homework.

The two biggest complaints we hear from people staying at other cabins in Beavers Bend are paying add-on fees and a lack of seclusion. You will not have that issue at Mountain Vista! We feature acres of isolation, free s’mores kits and upscale accommodations.

Reservations are quickly filling and there are only a few weekends available until August. Make sure to get the Beavers Bend app we created and accept “push notification” when downloading. This allows us to text you VIP offers. We only send a few per-month and our app fans will tell you there are occasionally some “very special deals!”

You’re dealing with us, the owners, when reserving our vacation home. This is very different protocol compared to renting a luxury cabin from a company touting 30-50 cabins. This has always been a strong selling point for us and we enjoy having great relationships with many guests.

Remember to be on the lookout for add-on fees in Beavers Bend and make your plans to visit Mountain Vista soon. Contact us at 405-535-8055 if we can help plan your next trip to beautiful Broken Bow Lake.

Tips on Buying A Cabin In Beavers Bend

Do you love Broken Bow and need tips on buying a cabin in Beavers Bend? Here are a few things we’ve learned through the years.

The tourism industry in Beavers Bend State Park is booming and many people have bought into the lucrative action by purchasing luxury cabins in the Kiamichi Mountains. If you’re considering building or buying a current cabin pay attention to the following details…

Building Vs. Buying an existing cabin: If you want to rent your vacation home and are considering building there are pluses and minuses. You can build exactly what you want but the downside is you will lose approximately a year of rentals due to the long construction time. Luxury cabin construction in Broken Bow is often a slow, tedious process.

Building while living out of town: It can be a nightmare depending on how far away you live from Beavers Bend State Park. The year we build Mountain Vista resulted in about 30 round-trip jaunts to Broken Bow to checkout the progress. Being able to find a builder you can trust is paramount to easing the stress. They’re very difficult to find!

Why is this cabin for sale? There’s usually a good reason a luxury rental cabin is for sale…It hasn’t been renting well! To be a successful in the Broken Bow luxury cabin business your cabin needs to have a unique story. For us, it’s our magnificent views, upscale amenities and seclusion. We’re simply not “just another cabin.” Our aggressive marketing and media experience have helped Mountain Vista become one of the most popular luxury cabins in Oklahoma. We had the cabin rented for many days long before construction was completed.

Who will market the cabin? Do you have the experience to do it yourself? The competition is steep to be successful and it takes much more than a homemade website. Many first-time luxury cabin owners make the mistake of trusting a Beavers Bend cabin management company who already has 20-50 properties available. How will you receive personalized marketing and media attention when you’re competing against this many other cabins on the same website? Will your three-bedroom cabin be recommended by the cabin management company in Broken Bow or the other 15 they have available?

Who to trust for maintenance and repairs? If you live outside of Broken Bow or don’t have local connections you can get taken to the cleaners when trying to have maintenance and repairs on your property. A long learning curve is usually required for new luxury cabin owners in Beavers Bend State Park.

These are just a few tips on buying a cabin in Beavers Bend. If you’re considering renting a luxury cabin to upscale clients let us know. We’ll help you break through the starting gate! Sherri and I can give you additional pros and cons of luxury cabin rentals in Broken Bow. We can also offer high-end marketing and video solutions to enhance your property.
