Cabins at Beavers Bend State Park, Broken Bow

Lakeview Lodge sits in Beavers Bend State Park, nestled between 100 pine trees and the shores of Broken Bow Lake. The acres of surrounding forest and only 40 rooms—each of which has a private patio or balcony that overlooks Broken Bow Lake and its famous sunrises—give the lodge’s guests a sense of seclusion. In the mornings, there’s a complimentary continental breakfast served beside the fireplace in the Great Room.

Beavers Bend State Park abounds with outdoor activities, including canoe and paddleboating, 18-hole golf, and stream and lake fishing. Twelve miles of hiking trails snake throughout the forest, and it's not unusual to spy wildlife among the towering trees. There's also the Forest Heritage Center, where you can learn about forestry through historical documents, antique forestry tools, and wooden art.

Just a few miles from the lodge is Beavers Bend Restaurant, a rustic eatery specializing in down-home cooking. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served inside as well as outside on a deck overlooking the Mountain Fork River.
