OVERVIEW The moment you pull in the driveway you’ll know you’re in for a special vacation. The “Rust Bucket” as it’s affectionately know, was given its name as a result of the reclaimed tin up-cycled from an early 1900’s barn in Arkansas. From the outside this cabin appears to be an old pioneer lodge, but on the inside the property features everything from a gourmet kitchen, luxury baths, floor-to-ceiling fireplaces, outdoor living with amazing creek views… to an epic game room. In addition, services like a private chef, masseuse, or housekeeping can be added. And that’s not to mention the lavish accents: exotic woods, stone and marble architecture, plus top-notch appliances, linens and in-home technology. Just because you’re in the woods doesn’t mean you’re roughing it. Experience a stay unlike any other in this most luxurious and unique cabin.
The Rust Bucket offers panoramic views of a crystal clear creek. It is convenient to Beavers Bend State Park, Broken Bow Lake and Hochatown area attractions, restaurants and shopping. As you enter the warm, fully furnished lodge, on the main level you'll find a beautiful floor to ceiling double-sided stone fireplace between the dining and lodge room accentuated with hand-hewn beams. The lodge room features rustic décor and an over-sized sectional and recliner for plenty of cozy seating. The dining room features exposed log with chinking and seating for 10 at a hand-carved reclaimed table with settee. The fully stocked kitchen provides additional seating for 4 at the island and an additional 6 in the nook. The kitchen features a six-burner Italian gas range, under counter icemaker, and reverse osmosis water system for fresh H2O. Just off the fully equipped gourmet kitchen is a master bedroom with a king size bed, fireplace, TV and large bathroom with a cast iron soaking tub and natural stone shower.
Across the lodge room reveals a second master bedroom with king bed, TV, large bathroom and walk-in shower. Along the same side as this bedroom there are 2 additional bedrooms, 1 king and 1 queen. These bedrooms are furnished with TVs, luxury linens, and each has its own sink and toilet while sharing a shower area.
Enjoy the spectacular views while rocking on the deck or relaxing in the hot tub. Here you'll find another fireplace and deck to reap those peaceful moments in your rocking chair. The outside living provides a TV, sectional, dining for 22, a built-in outdoor kitchen with sink, grill, and refrigerator. Down the stairs you’ll find 2 fire pits areas, one right by the creek for roasting marshmallows and enjoying nature! There’s also a horseshoe pit off the deck.
Back inside on the main level there’s a study/bedroom off the main entrance that features knotty alder built-in cabinetry including a desk, closet, and drawers. It also has a TV and queen size bed. Down the hall (located away from bedrooms to avoid disturbing others) guests will find a powder bath, laundry, and (wait for it) EPIC GAME ROOM. The game room offers every form of entertainment imaginable! With surround sound theatre technology you can watch TV and listen to music while playing pool, poker, shuffleboard, and MORE! And what game room would be complete without a wet bar and beverage fridge so you don’t have to go back to the kitchen while in the midst of a heated game of monopoly?!? The gameroom also features a queen size sofa sleeper.
Up the stairs guests will find a bunkroom complete with 5 twin XL beds (a twin XL is half of a king so these bunks are comfy for kiddos and adults!). The bunkroom features a TV. Through the barn door there’s a large, private bath with trough sink and walk-in shower.
Whether it’s family time, vacationing, hiking, kayaking, canoeing, exploring, or just being this cabin is sure to help you and your group relax, laugh, and enjoy a wonderful vacation at the Rust Bucket… now accepting reservations to add you to the bucket list!

House was beautiful and in a great location on a wonderful plot of land. The house was very clean and impressive. Water pressure was very strong which in unusual in the Hochatown area in my experience. Would stay there again in a heartbeat.
We loved the Rust Bucket and will be adding it to our return cabin list for future trips to broken bow! The amenities kept our small children and adult friends occupied the entire time! Plenty of room to spread out and especially loved the large covered deck in the back. Highly recommend this cabin!
This place is perfect for 5-6 couples. Close to Mountain Fork brewery and Hochatown Distillery. Would definitely stay again. Cabin was clean and in great working order.
The property was great and surpassed expectations! Would highly recommend and would stay here again. Check-in and check-out was super easy and communication with the property was fast and they were responsive.
The Rust Bucket is wonderful in every way! From the game room, the hot tub, the fire pit, the creek and more, we loved it. This was our second year and we would love to stay again!
We loved everything about our stay! From the beautiful home, and location to the decor and details.

This cabin is truly a one-of-a-kind! Each and every detail was thought out to give guests the feel of an authentic rustic cabin with all of the modern, ultra-luxury amenities.

We feel we’ve built the perfect lodge for family and friends to relax, laugh, and enjoy! We pride ourselves in offering a well-kept, clean and comfortable cabin for you to enjoy. Each mattress is of exceptional quality, as well as the sofa sleepers! So, no matter where you sleep you’ll get a great night’s rest. We’ve also added numerous kinds of entertainment- from an epic game room with a pool table, shuffleboard, Texas Hold ‘Em, Pac-Man arcade gaming system, a wet bar and more to surround sound throughout the main interior and exterior of the cabin it has it all.
