Bear Necessities - Hochatown/ Broken Bow - 3 bd

Nestled into the woods of Kiamichi Country, Bear Necessities has that rustic charm that keeps folks coming back to spend weekend after weekend here. Set back from a quiet lane, the surrounding trees give this cabin the privacy and seclusion so many guests are seeking. Step into an open kitchen and living room that are bathed in light from the window that stretch from the floor to the vaulted ceiling. One look at the towering river rock fireplace and you know you are going to spend a few nights watching tv in front of a glowing fire. This three bedroom cabin has room for your family and probably a few friends as well. Downstairs you will find 2 bedrooms with queen size beds. Upstairs is another bedroom with a queen bed, a large landing with a day bed that converts to either 2 twins or a king – great for long relaxing talks in the day and long restful nights. Wake up to the smell of breakfast being prepared in the simple ready to cook kitchen. Bear Necessities has a large ¾ wrap around deck with large multi level decks full of seating and dining space. Drag the cooler and hot dogs down to the traditional fire pit just off the deck and spend some time telling stories and watching the fire. Off the deck you will find a separate hot tub pavilion and a fire pit - both ready to host an evening of fun memory making. While Bear Necessities may be the perfect cabin to spend an entire weekend tucked away your everyday; just up the road, you will find Beautiful Beavers’ Bend state park, Broken Bow Lake, and enough activities to keep your day full. Either way, Bear Necessities will bring you back again and again.

The cabin has a level, easy access parking area, with room for boat and ATV trailers

We loved this cozy cabin! We felt like we were deep in the woods away from civilization, even though other cabins and stores were nearby. Lots of room for our family to relax both indoors and out. Really nice bathrooms with walk-in showers. Nice and clean cabin and well-stocked. Would happily stay here again.

Do not book with Kiamichi Cabins. We booked the cabin bear necessities a month in advance. When we arrived to the cabin the owner was having a party. Apparently he was aware that the cabin was booked. They decided to canceled our reservation . It was very unfortunate. Waste of gas!

Great for families

This cabin was great for our family of 10. The patio surrounds most of the house and was a great gathering place for everyone to hang out after a long day of tubing at the lake. It was a nice peaceful retreat and the family had a great time. Would recommend this property if you have a full crew. Communication with the management team was easy and they responded very quickly.

Good times

The overall stay was nice. The cabin could’ve been cleaner and the beds could’ve been a lot better for the price. The upstairs bathroom could have had more hand towels. The back deck was especially nice and we spent most of our time there.

Broken Bow weekender

The house was as expected. We had difficulties finding the driveway after dark when we arrived. It could be better marked even with reflectors. The house itself fit us well, was lacking in the family room area. Not enough room to sit. We had 6 adults. There is no hottub, the fireplace outside does not have a regulator on the gas so be careful. The only real complaint was someone should have blown off the leaves from the patio.

Great for New Years Eve

We thoughly enjoyed our stay at Bear Necessities Cabin. It was extremely well appointed with fire wood, comfortable cushions for all outdoor seating areas, and possibly the best kitchen appliances anywhere we have stayed. We enjoyed the quietness and solitude of the cabin and our little walks around the area. The herd of deer was my wife's favorite thing. Unfortunatly, the weather did not cooperate and stopped us from hiking as much as we wanted, 20 degrees is too cold for this group. To make a long story short, we had a great time and I think you will too. George and Ann Gillespie

Great place to chill

We had a great time here. Will consider coming back again. Our only complains are the internet was slow and disconnected every now and then. And the blankets didn't smell clean. But as a getaway it was nice. We spent a lot of our time on the patio area enjoying the fresh outdoors.

Spring Break get away

Hubby and I brought the kids up for spring break. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. This cabin was the perfect size for 2 teens, 2 kids and 2 adults (with extra room). We spent most of our time exploring around the town. There is so much to do! We loved spending our evenings on the enormous wooden deck, making family dinners and sitting next to the fire. We will definitely be back. Thank you!
