A REAL LOG LODGE. TWO PRIVATE ACRES. ROOM TO ACTUALLY SLOW DOWN. Pause & Reflect is an authentic log lodge tucked into two wooded acres less than a mile from Beavers Bend State Park. Designed for families and groups of up to 12, it combines the classic Broken Bow cabin experience with the amenities everyone wants: your own private pool and hot tub, a 14-foot teepee, game room, outdoor entertaining spaces, and plenty of room to spread out.
Spend the morning hiking at Beavers Bend, the afternoon by the pool, and the evening around the fire. Kids can play outside, adults can relax on the porch, and everyone has space to reconnect. This is the kind of vacation where the cabin isn't just where you sleep. It's part of the reason you came.

YOUR PRIVATE OUTDOOR OASIS - This is where Pause & Reflect really shines. ◆ Private swimming pool ◆ Private hot tub, drained and sanitized after every stay ◆ Authentic 14-foot teepee ◆ Outdoor fireplace + separate fire pit ◆ Covered patio with outdoor dining ◆ Outdoor bar, grill + TV ◆ Horseshoes and cornhole ◆ Swings and plenty of outdoor space to play
Pool heat is available September through May for $75/night and must be added for the full stay.

Thank you for the 5-star review! We're so happy that Paws & Reflect was the perfect fit for your trip. One of our favorite things about the cabin is that it feels tucked away and peaceful while still being just minutes from all the fun Hochatown has to offer.

We had a wonderful time at Paws and Reflect! It was beautifully decorated for Christmas and put everyone in the holiday spirit. The grandkids loved the pool, the bunk beds and the pool table. It was the perfect place to celebrate Thanksgiving with the whole family!

Thank you for the great review Dawn. It was a pleasure hosting your family.
We had such a great time at this cabin. This cabin is very nice and well stocked. I loved that the pool had the shallow area that my grand babies loved to play in. Besides the pool and hot tub there were lots of games to keep you busy. Had great communication with the owner. We will definitely be staying here the next time we come back.

Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re so glad you had a great time and that your grandbabies loved the pool! The entire outdoor space has been totally transformed, and it makes us so happy to hear it’s being enjoyed. We’d love to have you back anytime!
Before we even arrived, we started receiving excellent communication from the property manager. This place is absolutely beautiful and really offers a great getaway. My family of four and our little dog had an absolutely amazing time. The location is only a few minutes from the state park and local eats. We will definitely be back soon.

This was the perfect cabin for us! It has all the amenities and a great location. 5 min from the state park. The bunk bed room was perfect for kids. Lots of wooded area around the cabin to explore as well. We hope to come back soon.

Thank you for the wonderful review Corinne. We agree, the location of our cabin is a hidden gem
This place checked all the boxes. 3 generation retreat withsomething for every interest. The 4 boys took the bunks upstairs, and adults slept downstairs. Enough beds for everybody. The pool was great, the boys spent most of the time there. Well-equipped and very comfortable.

We love hearing that the cabin worked so well for your whole crew — from the bunk room fun to relaxing by the pool, it sounds like everyone found their happy place. That’s exactly what we hoped to create! We’d love to host your family again anytime you’re back in Broken Bow! Thank you so much for the kind review!
I had never rented a cabin with a pool in my many times to broken bow so I was a little worried but the pool and property turned out amazing. Very clean, so many little games to play inside the house, and very close drive to town. Check in communication was smooth. We will be back

Thanks so much for the awesome review! We totally get the hesitation — a private pool at a cabin in Broken Bow is still a newer concept, but we’re so glad it exceeded your expectations! We’ve put a lot of love into making the property fun, clean, and family-friendly, so it means a lot to hear your feedback. Can’t wait to have you back again soon!
My whole family was excited about the cabin that we rented.

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad your family enjoyed staying at Paws & Reflect! We’d love to welcome you back for another family trip in the future!
We absolutely loved our time in this cabin. Located on a small hill in middle of nowhere, which is exactly what we wanted. Hot tub on the deck outside facing the forest. Fireplaces all over. Everything our family needed. Will stay again.

We're thrilled to hear that you absolutely loved your time at our cabin!
The peaceful and secluded location you described is indeed something many of our guests appreciate, and we're delighted it was exactly what you were looking for. The hot tub on the deck and the cozy fireplaces do add a touch of magic to the experience, and we're glad they enhanced your stay.
Thank you for sharing your positive experience, and we can't wait to welcome you and your family back for another wonderful stay.
We loved this property! We were coming from Texas and NE Oklahoma so it was a great middle ground. Hochatown was close enough to grab food but we also had everything we needed to cook at the cabin. The attention to detail by the owner was a nice touch and the communication before and during our stay was fantastic. We’d definitely recommend this property!
