Very nice cabin! Everything was in great condition and as advertised. Our family had an amazing time this weekend and we would book this property again.
Pro: clean, lots of room and rooms were large, large porches, overall good experienceCon: steep drive (would not be best if you had a boat), low water pressure, good not great views
One of the best properties we have stayed at, the host was efficient in responding with any questions or concerns we might have had. The property was as listed and exceeded our expectations, slept our entire crew comfortably, and had a beautiful porch to hang out on!
This property was perfect for our family! There is a wonderful playground for all the children and plenty of space for everyone. We spent a week here and all enjoyed the beautiful house and location!
Wonderful place for our family to stay! So many beautiful memories made this trip! Thank you for sharing your property with us! Would definitely come back here.
I’ve rented several cabins over the years and this by far was the best. Well maintained, beautifully constructed, great views and amenities. The Tin Star Staff are great as well.
We booked place due to size of party and house having 5 bedrooms with own ensuite bathroom. It was a perfect layout! All had a wonderful time, from little ones to “little ones at heart.” Had plenty for all age groups. Truly a house for family.
The cabin was exactly as pictured and slept our family of 18 comfortably. The views from the balcony were amazing and the cabin had games for all ages. We truly enjoyed our stay and look forward to staying again in the future.
Beautiful home that accomodated all of us easily. Dining and kitchen great meeting place. Outside porches are wonderful.

Hi Hannah, We appreciate the great feedback and are so glad you enjoyed the gorgeous views and the amenities that Mountain Dance has. We look forward to having you stay with us again!
The property was beautiful and clean. We loved the open floor plan. The location was perfect for driving into Hochatown and taking a hike at Beavers Bend Park. I would recommend stocking the cabin with a few more towels and an extra couch in the living room area. The host was quick to answer any questions we had. Thank you!
This cabin is absolutely beautiful! I loved everything about it including the decorum the space and the overall atmosphere. Definitely would make that drive from Dallas again for another stay.
We have stayed in Broken Bow many times. This house is amongst the best we have ever stayed due to the amenities and space! The littles loved the upstairs area where there were games galore! You don’t need to bring anything to prep food as the kitchen has every amenity needed! The management group, Tin Star, was so friendly and helpful when needed. Will definitely stay at this property again or another Tin Star location.
Our family of 19 enjoyed a great stay at this cabin! The Views were great. And there was plenty enough room for everyone. It served as a great basecamp as we came and went doing different activities through the week!
Cabin large enough to easily accommodate our group of 15. Was very pleased with the cleanliness in all the rooms. The living area, bedrooms, and loft were all top notch as far as furnishings and comfort. The master bedroom & bath was great! Plenty of available activities/games for the kids. The hostess communicated well and took care of our questions. Already considering booking again!
Beautiful place. Beautiful views. Peaceful. Courtney was always there online to answer any questions
