About this property

Pickleball Days, Starry Nights | Private Cabin Retreat | Sleeps 20

Hear that thwack echo through the pines? That’s the sound of winter at Madison Arbor—pickleball paddles cutting through crisp air, laughter bouncing off the trees, and everything else finally quieting down. Winter weekends feel intentional out here. Weekdays? Wide open and wonderfully calm. Fewer crowds, darker skies, louder laughs. Spring’s waiting in the wings, but winter is absolutely having its moment.
This is where families actually reconnect (wild concept, we know). Kids vanish into their own adventures, teens resurface for games—eventually—and grown-ups remember what it feels like to breathe deep. Pancakes mix with pine-scented air. The firepit becomes the nightly HQ. Phones fade. Time stretches. Memories stick.
🎾 Play Hard. Chill Harder.
Private pickleball & basketball court – rally loud by day, recover by night
Ninja line & playground – winter energy, properly burned off
Arcade & game room – competitive chaos, zero apologies
Hot tub under the stars – winter’s best seat, hands down
🍳 Eat Big. Gather Easy.
Fully stocked gourmet kitchen for slow mornings and big dinners
Open-concept living & dining made for everyone-at-the-table moments
Outdoor firepit for s’mores, stories, and no alarms set
🌲 Out There (But Not Too Far)
Ouachita National Forest – quiet winter hikes, elite stargazing
Broken Bow Lake – glassy water, uncrowded views
Hochatown wineries & breweries – relaxed tastings, live music, local vibes
💫 Winter Now. Spring Soon.
Winter brings better availability and calmer energy—perfect for a reset. Spring’s right behind it with longer days, greener trails, and that first warm breeze through the pines.
Your move: snag a winter escape while it’s quiet, or lock in spring before everyone else catches on. Either way—nature’s calling.

Best Fall Break

Our family enjoyed the house and all the amenities. We were able to ride our ATV's and UTV's from the house into the National forest. The house offered so many great extras that made our stay even better.

Wonderful and amazing stay! It’s a great place for family or friends reunion!

We were very joyful for our four day trip at this comfortable and peaceful cabin. It’s very clean, tidy and convenient. It has everything for our staying. The owner is very responsible to answer all the questions. It was a wonderful experience for all us 16 people. I very want to recommend this beautiful place to our friends. Thank you. We will be back.

We loved this cabin!

Booked this property specifically b/c of court & activities available. 4 master bedrooms were nice for older adults being on main floor, didn’t have to navigate steps inside house. Steps into house are a lot for hauling in supplies & Nanna definitely needed help, but was worth the stay. Was nice to have some basic supplies that we didn’t have at previous cabins: trash bags & toilet paper. The court made it totally worth it. Basketball goal is top notch & pickleball court was a lot of fun! Horseshoes Available, but beware: Mardi Gras lights hang too low across the “court” for most adults to play. Didn't deter us from having great time! Trey was very responsive to needs. Cabin close to all the local activities. We’ll be back!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Our story starts with our love for the outdoors and the natural beauty around this great nation. For years, our family has been drawn to the simplicity of Broken Bow, Oklahoma. It's about the open landscapes, the calming lake, and the silhouette of the Ouachita Mountains on the horizon.

We're the type that lover to head out to national and state parks for hikes, seeking the beauty of nature. Beaver’s Bend State Park, which is close to DFW, became our easy retreat. We enjoy hiking through its scenic trails, casting lines to fish, and connecting with the friendly locals. But some of our most special memories come from many nights at the cabin, where we look up at the starry sky and trace constellations we rarely see in the city.

Through time, our cabin has become integral to our family story. It's where we gather, share stories, and make memories that stick. We're extending the same to you and yours.
Join us in Broken Bow, where the outdoors calls. Roam the wilderness, lose yourself in the forest, fish by the lake, and soak in the beauty of this special place. And when the day winds down, your cabin awaits—a snug space for rest, rejuvenation, and treasured moments.

Why they chose this property

Pickleball Court, Hot Tub, Game Room | Luxury Cabin

🏓 Private Pickleball & Basketball Courts
Cold air, warm competition. The courts stay active year-round—perfect for family tournaments, first-time serves, and friendly rivalries that somehow demand rematches.
🌲 Secluded Forest Escape
Wrapped in towering pines, Madison Arbor delivers real privacy without feeling remote. Mornings are quiet, nights are star-heavy, and you’re just minutes from Broken Bow Lake, trails, and the best of Hochatown.
🎮 All-Ages, All-Weather Fun
When the temperature dips, the fun doesn’t. Arcade games, a ninja line, playground, and wraparound decks keep everyone entertained from slow mornings to late-night showdowns.
🛏 Room for the Whole Crew
Sleeps up to 20 with king suites, bunk rooms, and plenty of space to spread out and regroup. Ideal for multi-family trips, cousin chaos, and big-group escapes that still feel comfortable.
🔥 Firelight & Star-Soaked Nights
End the day around the firepit or sink into the hot tub beneath a sky so clear it barely feels real. Winter stars out here don’t whisper—they flex.
📍 Adventure in Every Direction
Quiet lake views, forest trails, breweries, and local spots are all close by. You can explore all day—or do absolutely nothing and call it perfect.
✨ Built for Connection, Not Just a Stay
Madison Arbor isn’t about checking boxes—it’s about slowing down, laughing louder, and actually spending time together. Winter brings calmer crowds and better availability, while spring waits just ahead with longer days and greener views
