Beavers Bend Real Estate Tips

Mountain Vista Cabin in Beavers Bend

We love receiving texts like this from last weekend’s guest at Mountain Vista. Sherri and I do things vastly different than the typical cabin management company in Beavers Bend.

When reserving Mountain Vista, you deal directly with us…the owners. We don’t have teenagers answering the phone or returning emails. Guests rarely contact us with an issue at the cabin. If you have one, we’re a text or call away.

You’re not dependent on a large company renting 50-100 cabins getting back to you.

Broken Bow Cabin Management & Marketing

If you’re buying a cabin in Beavers Bend, we can help market it with the following:

We have decades of international media and marketing experience. Buying a luxury cabin is a huge step. Marketing with your own checkbook is something most haven’t done successfully. We have.

If you’re considering whether to enter the Beavers Bend real estate rental game, be comfortable with the marketing and media expertise of your property managers.

Dino Lalli from Discover Oklahoma visits Beavers Bend's Rolling Fork Takery

Great seeing Dino Lalli from Discover Oklahoma this week at Rolling Fork Takery. He was in town shooting segments for his upcoming television show. Dino interviewed me about Broken Bow Lake area tourism and my favorite dining spot, Rolling Fork!

No Beavers Bend trip is complete without dining at Rolling Fork!

It’s been years since I’d seen Dino. He’s had a stellar career. We enjoyed visiting about Rolling Fork’s great food and vibe. Dino and I met while working in OKC media years ago. Just like me, Dino loves the Rolling Fork tacos!

We Don’t Do Add-On Fees

Scores of cabins have additional fees for firewood, insurance scams and cleaning. Not us! Resort and incidental fees are rampant. We also give our guests s’mores kits and other extras to enjoy while gazing at our 50-mile sunset view.

Choosing A Beavers Bend Cabin-Five Tips

  • A cabin management company often has 30-100 cabins. Good luck getting a returned phone call on a busy weekend. Try to have the cabin owner’s phone number. Rent directly from an owner, if possible. If you need a quick response, no one cares more about you than the owners.
  • Get video of the entire cabin property. Tight shots of a cabin often attempt to conceal there’s another cabin nearby.
  • Never pay add-on fees. Cleaning, firewood, insurance, s’mores etc. There are scores of  cabin owners that don’t gouge guests.
  • Don’t be afraid to ask about the little things before arriving. Does the cabin use generic products? If you’re spending hundreds per night, expect upscale amenities. No generic soaps or toilet paper!
  • Determine if you’re staying in someone’s vacation home or a rental cabin from a large management company. Sometimes there’s a big difference.

Build It And They Will Come

Great piece from Rick Rowe at KTBS in Shreveport. Cabin building continues to flourish near Beavers Bend State Park and Broken Bow Lake.

I’ve written many articles about the cabin game in Southeastern Oklahoma. Scroll through my blog to find out what to do, avoid, etc. You must have something to differentiate your cabin from others if you want a large following and great income.

We’re fortunate our Mountain Vista cabin has spectacular 50-mile views and acres of seclusion. This separates us from many other cabins.

Enjoy this beautiful video and contact us to market your cabin with professional video and social media on our website.
