What Mountain Vista Guests Are Saying

“Neat, very clean, hot tub was perfect…all appliances were in top shape, beds and mattresses were very comfortable. My friends said they want those for their homes now!”

-Ugonna

“This was a great family getaway. It felt so good to unplug from the world and enjoy nature. The hiking was breathtaking and fishing was relaxing. We had some much needed quality family time.”

-Debbie

“We had a wonderful & safe vacation during the pandemic at the luxurious cabin. The cabin has a lot of privacy, but civilization isn’t too far – so you get the best of both worlds. Jerry & Sherri’s recommendations were great and their hospitality is admirable. Can’t wait to visit again.”

-Nishant

“This is a great cabin and a superb location on a hill with beautiful views. The decks are massive. The area outside is just the best – very secluded and perfect. Beds are all huge. Everything you could want in a weekend rural getaway in the wilderness. Definitely go hiking up the road at Beavers Bend State Park. Highly recommend.”

-Chad

New Beavers Bend Book In The Works

Jerry Isbell and Bob Burke, Beavers Bend Book Authors

I’m writing a book with my lifelong friend and Oklahoma Hall of Fame Member, Bob Burke. We’re working on a catchy title, but it’ll focus on the history of Beavers Bend, Hochatown and the booming Beavers Bend economy.

It’s quite an honor to work on this project with Bob. Like me, he’s a native of Broken Bow, OK. Bob, a stellar attorney in OKC, has written more non-fiction books than anyone in history.

Summer Rush Since Spring

We’ve been in a mid-summer rush since March in Beavers Bend. People from DFW aren’t flying much, but still want to breathe the fresh Broken Bow Lake air. Mountain Vista Cabin has no openings until August. We have more people than ever on a waiting list this summer.

I’ll keep you updated on our book release date in 2021. Follow us on Twitter & Instagram @BeaversBend!
