Bryce is my personal guide and I’ll be on the water with for a couple of outings with him soon! He recently announced an August special and provides a great experience for novice to professional anglers.

There is a huge adrenaline rush seeing the bass pop out of the water while feeding on shad. It happens frequently during August and Bryce studies the lake like none other. He knows where to find the fish!

We have “Fish and Stay” packages available at Mountain Vista in conjunction with Bryce, owner of BrokenBowLake Guide.com.

Top 5 Beavers Bend Memorial Weekend Tips

Mountain Vista Luxury Cabin

My Top 5 Beavers Bend Memorial Weekend Tips will enhance your stay while visiting a cabin in Beavers Bend State Park.

Grab coffee and breakfast at Adam & Eve’s Coffee House. We love their freshly ground coffee’s and breakfast items…great sandwiches during lunch. If you forgot something from home while visiting a Beavers Bend cabin, they’ll probably have it.
Visit all the wineries in Beavers Bend. Broken Bow now has three and all are great places to sip a little vino. Girls Gone Wine, Vojai’s Winery and Fish Tales Winery and Vineyards. Many visit all three in a day. Each location is only minutes apart.
Meet Food Network Champion Chef, Tabb Singleton at his Moon Tower Bar and Grill. To say this globally renowned chef is popular is an understatement. Over 1-million people have read my piece on him since December.
Get on Broken Bow Lake in a boat. You can’t truly enjoy it until you’re on the water. Seeing the lake from a roadside or bank isn’t the way to experience Oklahoma’s most beautiful body of water.
Don’t drink and drive/speed. Beavers Bend will be packed during Memorial Weekend. Have patience and realize that filling up with gas and having your dinner served will be delayed with the large crowds. Law enforcement is always out in full-force during holidays near Broken Bow Lake cabins. Be smart and kind to one another.

Your cabin management companies will be stretched to the limit during this holiday weekend in Beavers Bend. I’ve written extensively for years about what you should be looking for before reserving a luxury cabin. Hopefully, you did extensive research and will be pleased upon arrival at your getaway.

Limbs For Life Foundation

Former FEMA Director Michael Brown and Jerry Isbell

My favorite charity is the Limbs for Life Foundation. I’ve served on their board of directors for about 10 years. As chairman of their governance committee, charged with recruiting talented new board members, I’m thrilled with our latest additions.

Michael Brown, former FEMA Director under President George W. Bush and native Oklahoman, joined our board along with national speaker and philanthropist, Adrianne Haslet.

I began talking with Michael about the Limbs for Life Foundation late last year. I was immediately impressed by his great heart and desire to help us provide prosthetics for needy amputees around the world.

Michael brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise that will benefit the Limbs for Life Foundation across the globe. He hosts a popular radio show in Denver that is syndicated on iHeartRadio. He is a frequent guest on national television and a popular event speaker.

Adrianne Haslet

Adrianne lost her leg in the Boston Bombing terror attack and became a fan of Limbs For Life. We became bigger fans of her. She developed a great relationship with our staff and has raised thousands of dollars to benefit Limbs for Life. Adrianne has been a world-class ballroom dancer for years.

A tremendous athlete, she recently received international media attention by finishing the 2016 Boston Marathon while running with a prosthetic device.

I heard Adrianne speak at a Limbs for Life luncheon in Dallas a couple of weeks ago and was floored. I know a rock-star when I see one…and asked her immediately to join our board.

Adrianne has an inspiring story, is a world-class speaker, and has been a tireless advocate for our foundation. She will take the mission of Limbs For Life to an entirely new level with her talent and dedication.

There is no research dollars spent with our foundation. All the research has been done…the cure is a prosthetic limb.

Sunset At Mountain Vista

Mountain Vista is known for tremendous views, seclusion and upscale amenities. We have acres of seclusion and a few friends that enjoy hanging out in our trees.

This whippoorwill’s song kept us company while relaxing on the deck and taking in a sunset. Rather than irritating road noise that many cabins feature due to building near a busy highway, we prefer this!

July 4th weekend has become available at Mountain Vista in Beavers Bend State Park. A four-night minimum stay is required. This open date won’t last long.

Weekends are full in May but don’t forget about our special travel deal. Arrive on Sundays during May and your fourth-night is free.

July 21-24 is the only non-holiday weekend available until August. We have many loyal fans staying at Mountain Vista four-six times per year. Why?

No add-on fees for firewood, insurance, cleaning and Internet. Watch out for incidental and resort fee charges. We’ve added a few new items to our popular s’mores kits and as always, they’re on the house!

Sing a new tune the next time you visit Beavers Bend. Say “no” to the add-on fee jingle others play to pad their pockets.

Contact us at BeaversBendVacations.com to reserve your Broken Bow Lake getaway soon!

Resort Fees In Broken Bow

People actually charge hundreds of add-on fees for this in Beavers Bend…it’s just firewood.

I’ve written about these guest-gouging fees for years and its great to see other nationally read websites pick up on it. Never pay resort fees when staying at a luxury property.

A new Twitter follower of ours is @KillResortFees. We love the name! Many websites have picked up on our mantra and are preaching the gospel of not gouging guests.

We were the first to expose these fraudulent fees in Beavers Bend several years ago. These charges are prevalent at some global resorts, but not all. There’s right and wrong. We feel resort fees are wrong. Hopefully after reading our blog all these years, you do too.

Never pay anything other than the nightly cabin rate and taxes. Don’t fall for the firewood, insurance, cleaning, hot tub or resort fee scams.

A couple of new wineries and a brewery have opened near Broken Bow Lake, we’ll have features on them soon. Weekends are becoming packed at Mountain Vista. Check-in Sunday’s through April and your fourth-night is free!

The redbuds are blooming in Beavers Bend and April/May is amazing in our area.

It’s Spring in the Kiamichi Mountains…we love it!
