Named ONE OF THE TOP 18 BROKEN BOW LUXURY CABINS by Up and Away Magazine.āļø
Welcome! Joy in the Morning is an immaculate one bedroom/one bathroom farmhouse cabin in the heart of Hochatown (Broken Bow), OK, that sleeps 1-4 guests.
āļøāļøāļøāļøāļø 5/5 PERFECTION This little piece of heaven was absolutely wonderful. From the minute we walked in the door - when music started playing from the TV!! - to the minute we left - everything was perfect. Diana was a dream to communicate with and made sure we had all the information we needed prior to our stay. Not one detail was left untouched in this property! I've stayed in several VRBOs and this was by far the absolute best. Also the cleanest - everything was SPOTLESS. We will definitely be back!!! Jennifer

This cabin is so beautiful, words would never give it the justice it deserves. The area its located in is very beautiful, wooded, quiet, and overall magnificent. I have stayed at several cabins and this one definitely ranks the top if not the best. My wife and I were able to enjoy our lovely weekend with each other. The hosts have definitely been extremely supportive, which makes this cabin worth every penny. - Chris T.
THE SPACE:
When you open the door to our professionally designed cabin, your spirit is calmed. The soothing color palette and cozy furnishings will make you want to stay indefinitely. Enjoy the diffused lighting and the backdrop of huge pines behind the cabin through the wall of windows as you enter off the covered front porch, level to the ground with no steps from the circular gravel driveway. Roads are paved all the way to the cabin, so feel free to bring your sportiest ride!
Inside, thereās a large living area with Pottery Barn designer furnishings, an open, modern kitchen and seating at the farmhouse table in the designated dining area. Just past the main area, youāll love the bedroom (itās a stunner), separate from the living area by a door - this is not just a one room studio. The bedroom has a King bed with luxury linens and high end memory foam mattress and French doors to the back deck/hot tub. Thereās a separate door to the large, spa-like bathroom, complete with oversized tub, two person shower, his and hers fluffy spa robes, a separate toilet closet, Beekman 1802 soap, shampoo, and lotion, fluffy white spa towels, make up towels and wipes, and an eye mask for the sensitive sleeper.
Once you get settled in, youāll find so many options. Relax on our Pottery Barn sofa and listen to one of our vinyl albums on our throw-back record player (or connect the Bluetooth to your own playlist), or curl up in one of our comfy chairs with a fuzzy blanket and one of our books. You could challenge your loved one with one of our many games, make a meal together in our chefās kitchen, take the worldās longest soak in our spa tub, or nap in whatās been repeatedly called āthe most comfortable mattress we have ever slept onā by our guests.
We didnāt forget about the exterior! The front porch offers oversized egg-chairs for people watching or enjoying your morning coffee. And the back porch... so many options. Itās the best seat in the house for the āshowā each evening... the sunsets are a must-see from the back deck. Donāt be surprised if deer come by for a visit... itās a common occurrence. Relax in the hot tub, watch TV by the outdoor fireplace (seasonal) in the outdoor seating, grill your favorite dish on our propane grill (propane and grill utensils are provided), take a selfie with our new fun wall mural, challenge your partner to a game of corn hole or ladder golf, enjoy the string lights and fire pit when the sun goes down (when drought conditions arenāt present), and donāt forget sāmores around the fire, under the most gorgeous starry sky youāve ever seen. We are on an oversized 1.3 acre corner lot, with lots of room to spread out and relax.
Also, and most importantly, you will receive 5-star service from beginning to end. We truly want every guest to have the best possible experience, whether this is your first visit to Broken Bow or if you come on a regular basis. We offer assistance with just about everything from recommendations and suggestions on where to go and what to do while in town, to helping plan for important events and helping to coordinate delivery of flowers, cakes, groceries, firewood, etc. Our approach is to treat guests even better than we would ever expect and to provide fun surprises along the way. Youāll have the ownerās contact information from day one, and if you have any questions with anything about our property, the area, or the best steak in town⦠just ask!
Joy in the Morning is a special haven for those looking for rest, relaxation, reconnection, recreation or restoration - or a little bit of everything. Guests rave that we āhave thought of everythingā and āwe canāt wait to come back!ā
We are located in one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Hochatown (Broken Bow), just 5-10 minutes from restaurants, shopping, wineries and breweries, many beautiful trails and scenic strolling spots, Beavers Bend State Park and Broken Bow lake.

Donāt forget these items when you come to visit: Ā * Towels for the lake * Sunscreen and bug spray * Cooler for excess waters/cokes, etc., so as to not overload the refrigerator when arriving, also for lake use * All groceries ā donāt forget sāmores and condiments * Swimsuit, goggles, beach chairs, beach toys, cooler, beach bag * Travel cups/tupperware for lake * Phone chargers (we do offer a charging station, however some guests prefer individual chargers in their bedrooms as well) * Plastic bags for wet clothes * Ziplock bags for phones for when you are on the lake * Beach umbrella/tent/canopy if needed * Back-up plan for rain days.Ā We get a lot of pop-up showers or storms so you may want an umbrella, tennis shoes, or favorite game (though we have several!) * Water shoes, hiking shoes/boots, and if raining, rain boots * Duraflame logs if you think youāll need fire-making help
* Note: Like most cabins in the area, our cabin has security cameras at the front and back entrance. They are for protection of our property and are to ensure our no-pet and no-party policies are being adhered to. They point solely at the entrances and are not regularly monitored during your stay.
*Decor is subject to change for cleanliness, maintenance or safety reasons.
*Ours is a small town with rural utilities. At times, you may see discoloration from the trace minerals (iron, manganese, etc.) in the water supply coming into the cabin. This can be an area-wide occurrence and the Broken Bow Water Department assures us, when happening, that the water is safe. This is not uncommon in small towns but is different than what we are used to in larger cities/towns. Two recommendations are to NOT WASH ANYTHING LIGHT COLORED in the washer and that some guests prefer bottled water over filtered water from the fridge. The spa will be clean but you may see a ring develop around the waterline from the minerals.
*Ours is a NO SMOKING, PET FREE cabin. No exceptions. For the comfort of all guests, please choose a different cabin if either of these are imperative to your stay.
We STRONGLY recommend purchasing the Travel Protection Plan through VRBO. With the constant uncertainty surrounding the travel industry, itās a small price to pay to protect the costs of your trip should you or someone in your party become unable to travel. We adhere to our cancellation policies outlined here and in our rental agreement.

A lovely, clean and convenient property with everything you need for a wonderful stay. Particularly loved the fact that the hot tub is right off of the bedroom! Communication was great throughout the stay and small issues were remedied immediately. Would choose this property again in a heartbeat!
The house was amazing we loved all of the amenities and the host was phenomenal. The host responded very quickly and gave us a bunch of recommendations on places to eat, shop entertainment options etc.. We visit frequently but so far this has been our favorite house and the best host we have ever had! We will definitely be back soon, highly recommended this house, if you are looking for a relaxing trip and an amazing host!
We went for the week during Thanksgiving. The cabin was beautiful & perfect. Location was great! Just bring food! Loved the mural on the back porch! We would definitely stay here again!
Absolutely amazing little place to get away! We had a relaxing 3 nights, everything is well thought out! With it being Christmas time it feels like walking into a Hallmark movie! Christmas music welcomes you upon entering!

My husband and I spent our 10 year anniversary here and it was a perfect getaway! The host was very helpful and responsive. We enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit. The whole place was very relaxing. We brought our side by side and were very close to the riding trails. We also spent some time hiking at Bevers Bend State Park. Would definitely stay here again!
This cabin is absolutely fantastic. The photos and description are accurate but don't do it justice. The furnishings are great and the hot tub and back patio feel secluded and cozy. We enjoyed our stay and would book this cabin again for sure!
We were very impressed with the cabin. It was everything we were hoping to experience for our getaway weekend. We escaped reality with the comfort and amenities that the cabin offered us. I would recommend it to anyone looking to make the trip to Hochatown.

A must stay at VRBO cabin. Fabulous cabin and outdoor area!! The cabin is beautifully decorated and the owner has created a relaxing environment. The owner and staff are very responsive and genuinely are about your experience while you are there and your needs.
My husband and I stayed here for an anniversary getaway and it was by far the best place we have stayed at! So cozy, clean, and the hosts were always in contact, they are the sweetest! We will be back for sure!
Everything was clean and beautiful. It was so relaxing. A perfect place to getaway and unwind. We will be returning. Miss Diana is so friendly and helpful. Loved it
Everything was perfection! From the drive up appeal to stepping out onto the back deck with the hot tub, amazing sitting area and fire pit! The home was so full of love and light and the name fits it perfectly āJoy in the morningā! We loved every second of our stay. The bed was super comfy and the bathtub was amazing. Honestly cannot say enough good things. It was a perfect couples retreat! We will be back!
This cabin was more than I expected and so much more! It was very nice and super quiet. My husband and I enjoyed our stay and plan to return in the future.
This cabin was everything we hoped for and more. It was immaculate, beautifully decorated, and stocked with all the amenities you could need. The setting was peaceful and private, perfect for an end-of-summer getaway. Diana was a fantastic host, checking in to make sure we were taken care of. We canāt wait to visit again!
We absolutely loved our stay at the joy in the morning cabin! It was dreamy, the perfect location and size. Everything was clean, cozy and we will definitely be back.
