Ask a Texan their favorite vacation spot and you might be surprised to hear it’s on the north side of the Red River: Beavers Bend Cabin Country. Located in the scenic southeast corner of Oklahoma, Cabin Country has everything you need for a family road trip. Jaw-dropping cabins. Fun for all ages. Sweeping mountain views that’ll have you asking, “Are you sure this is Oklahoma?” Lucky for your gas tank, it sure is.
Here are just a few reasons Beavers Bend Cabin Country should be your family’s next adventure.
Just a Few Hours Away
No need to buy a plane ticket or rent an RV for this family getaway. Cabin Country is just a 3-hour drive from the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, so you can leave after work and still get there by dinner. The short drive also makes it prime for quick weekend getaways or simpler staycations during school breaks. And if you have friends or cousins from the Houston area who are joining, their drive is just shy of six hours—just enough time to grab some beaver nuggets on your way up to Beavers Bend State Park.
Texas-Sized Cabins
Not everything’s bigger in Texas. Dotted around Broken Bow and Hochatown, you’ll find over 3,000 cabin rentals ranging from supersized hideaways for an epic family reunion to smaller stays for just Mom, Dad and the kids.
Don’t expect your grandpa’s log cabin though. These big boys have big-time amenities for the whole family. We’re talking king-size suites, luxury bunk rooms, foosball tables, cozy movie theaters, and chef’s kitchens for whipping up Grandma’s famous chili. Some cabins even have special perks to make your stay extra memorable, like indoor slides, putting greens and private fishing ponds.
Boatloads of Family Fun
From Hochatown’s roadside attractions to the endless list of outdoor activities, boredom isn’t on the to-do list in Beavers Bend Cabin Country. In just a weekend, your family could:
- Hike 12+ hiking trails in Beavers Bend State Park
- Kayak down the Lower Mountain Fork River
- Catch rainbow trout with a fly fishing guide
- Ride go-karts in Hochatown
- Win all the arcade prizes at Gutter Chaos
- Zipline over Broken Bow Lake
- Spot a zebra at Beavers Bend Safari Park
All with enough time left over for s’mores around your cabin’s campfire. And we can’t forget the adults. Local winery tastings. In-cabin massages. Tee time at Cedar Creek Golf Course. There’s plenty of fun for the big kids too.
Kid-Approved Food
Picky eaters? No problem. Comfort food is the preferred cuisine in southeast Oklahoma. Whether you’re craving steak, pasta, burgers, chicken fried steak, tacos, or more, you’ll find whatever you’re craving.
Southeastern Oklahoma is also giving Texas barbecue a run for its money. Led by Chopped winner Tabb “Phat Tabb” Singleton, Phat Tabb’s BBQ is at the top of many must-eat lists. Another fan favorite is Rock Bottom Boyz BBQ (people dream about their smoked potato salad) and Truckin Good BBQ’s ribs and sandwiches. They even offer breakfast all day long if you decide to sleep in.
However you chow down, one thing’s for sure. No Texan’s going back down south hungry.
