Nothing clears the mind like some fresh air and good vibes in Beavers Bend Cabin Country. A hot tub in a luxury cabin doesn’t hurt either.
Whether you’re looking for a restful retreat in nature or some quality time in the great indoors, southeast Oklahoma is the place for a relaxing weekend getaway where you can really get away.
And don’t stress over planning a bunch of activities. Here’s the best ways to maximize the relaxation in Cabin Country.
1. Soak up those porch views
Whether you’re soaking up that morning air while sippin’ a delicious cup o’ joe or sinking into a steamy hot tub, the wiiiiide open porches on our cabins were made for worry-free unwinding. And the birds chirpin’ in the background make for one heck of a peaceful soundtrack.
2. Go bird watching
Those birds we were talking about? Well, the lush Ouachita National Forest is a hotbed for feathered friends. So grab a pair of binoculars and flock to Beavers Bend State Park for a bit of bird-based bliss. For more serious birders, Red Slough Wildlife Management Area is the place to go for a tranquil peek at over 324 species. And maybe even the rare roseate spoonbill.
3. Cast a line
There ain’t many calmer waters than those of the Lower Mountain Fork River, and if your idea of zen involves dropping a fishing line into quietly babbling waters, we’ll then you’re in luck. Grab your pole and wade in, or treat yourself to a privately guided fishing tour. You might reel in a trophy-worthy rainbow trout while you’re taking it easy.
4. Rejuvenate at your basecamp
Skipping stones is one way to relax. Hot stone massages are just a better one. While you’re in town, pamper yourself Beavers Bend style. Many local licensed therapists offer in-cabin services to bring the spa to you. Facials by the forest? Uh huh. Couples massages by the campfire? Yep, those too. Just be sure to book in advance so you can rest easy upon arrival.
5. Become one with nature
Mountains, forests, marshes, rivers, lakes. You name it, you’ll find it here. Hike among the pines, or clear your mind horseback. Rent a kayak for a peaceful float down the awe-inspiring Lower Mountain Fork River. Or maybe a picnic in the forest is more your speed. However you unwind, there’s more than enough scenery to take your breath away.
6. Float away your stress
There’s almost nothing more laid-back than a little float on Broken Bow Lake or the Lower Mountain Fork River. Grab a tube or kayak, then head to shore and set sail. We hear a cold drink soothes the soul too.
7. Dig in to a campfire lit dinner
Who needs a white noise machine when you have the great outdoors? Pull up a chair and let the cicadas be your bliss as you roast some weenies and toast some s’mores. Don’t worry. Calories don’t count out over a campfire.
Alright, you have your itinerary. Now, it’s time to book your cabin for a relaxing weekend getaway and #GetHereAlready.
