Bella Vista with Bear Creek Vacations

Bella Vista – Off-Grid Escape Overlooking Broken Bow Lake
Welcome to Bella Vista, a secluded off-grid glamping cabin nestled atop the mountains with breathtaking lake views. This eclectic boho retreat offers peace, privacy, and a true escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Swing on the covered patio next to the fireplace, soak in the views, and immerse yourself in nature.

 One of only four off-grid cabins on 80 acres, surrounded by National Forest on three sides!
 Rustic yet refined décor with furniture imported from Indonesia, reclaimed wood, and a unique wine barrel kitchen island.
 Eco-friendly & sustainable – powered by solar, well water, and a septic system.
