Cliffside Escape | Epic Lake Views & Off-Grid Stay

🌲 The Cliffhouse – An Off-Grid Escape with the Best View in McCurtain County!
Welcome to The Cliffhouse—a rugged yet cozy mountain retreat designed for adventure seekers, hikers, and nature lovers. Locals call it “the best view in all of McCurtain County—period.” Here, you’ll trade city lights for unmatched seclusion, breathtaking stargazing, and panoramic views of Broken Bow Lake.

📢 Before booking, please read the full listing to ensure this one-of-a-kind experience is right for you!

🏕️ What to Expect
✔ Off-Grid Living: Fully self-sustained with solar power, well water, and a septic system.
✔ Rustic, Not Luxury: More like glamping than a resort—ideal for those who love the outdoors.
✔ Adventure Access: Surrounded by 6,000 acres of National Forest and U.S. Corps of Engineers land for hiking, birdwatching, and mountain biking.
✔ Unbeatable Views: Relax on a 600 sq. ft. deck with panoramic lake views.
✔ No Town Fees: Located outside Hochatown, saving you extra town taxes and fees!

🏡 The Cabin (Sleeps 5)
📍 1,000 sq. ft. off-grid mountain retreat
🛏 Bedroom 1 (Downstairs): Queen bed

🚨 Loft Access Notice: The ship’s ladder provides incredible views but may not be suitable for all guests. If mobility is a concern, the downstairs bedroom is a great alternative.

The breath taking sunrises will forever be in our minds as we remember our Broken Bow visit. This cabin was just what we needed to get away from it all. Simple and beautifully done. Thank you for sharing your cabin. We hope to return in the future.

Delightful
Spent the weekend there with my family. Excellent communication with the property owners. The drive to the cabin had some pretty vistas. The cabin is perfect! It was clean and cozy. We loved watching the sunrise from inside the cabin in the mornings. Stargazing on the deck at night. Shower had great water pressure and good hot water. It was a perfect escape from the city. We will definitely be back! Only thing to point out, there are hunters in the woods. We weren’t aware of that and the sounds of gun shots in the distance were jarring.

Wonderful cabin and gorgeous views!
We stayed a few days in this cabin as our first time in the area. It is absolutely gorgeous, very easy check in and out! The drive is definitely for larger vehicles as the posting states but we had no issue finding the property via Google Maps. Communication with the management was great, very friendly and quick to reply. I am already looking forward to my trip back here!

The VIEW...
The view was as listed and grand but when the generator started at 2am in the morning it awakened us and we could not go back to sleep.. We left the next morning and went into town and got a hotel room. As far as the rest of the cabin, the windows were dirty and the place needed a good cleaning for the dust and cobb webs. As for the road, glad I own a truck, a bit rough, I understand because of the location. I would like to at least get a refund for one night to help off set the hotel room.

Beautiful hill top retreat
This property is stunning. What could be better than waking up that view, spending the day hiking, enjoying the lake, and watching the stars by firelight. The property was exactly as listed and the hosts were super helpful. The internet worked well enough to stay online and stream music. Not well enough to take conference calls, which was a dream. We hope to be back in the fall.

Nice getaway - impressive view
My family and I really enjoyed our stay at the Cliffhouse! Drive to the cabin was scenic and manageable with our Honda CRV. Cabin was very nice, clean, and private. The view was very impressive and we witnessed some amazing sunrises! Also had some time to tour the nearby Hochatown. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun private getaway!

Amazing views great hiking and pure freshnes and tranquility
Loved the cabin this is my second time coming to enjoy the ability to completely disconnect from the city and enjoy the pure wilderness, loved the hiking trails, tried two day to reach the lake by foot and when we made it it was an amazing view and accomplishment, we also visited the beavers bend park to enjoy the trails and rivers, at night is so silent and calm and the reflection of the lake is just mesmerizing, i am highly anticipating my return as it was a great experience.
