The past year has seen a flurry of cabins crop up near the shores of Broken Bow Lake in southeast Oklahoma. Cloaked in pine and pawpaw trees, this rural region likely has a higher permanent population of black bears and bald eagles than people. Fishing, hiking, and boating have maintained steady tourism but the recent boom in new chalets has put the teensy hamlet of Hochatown on the map, literally. Airbnb is credited with creating this vacation bubble in the aftermath of the pandemic as travelers in OK and TX seek countryside getaways closer to home.
The New York Times reports there are 2,400 (and counting) listings in Oklahoma’s “Airbnb Town”. Ziplining centers, off-road ATV trails, breweries, and wineries have further shaped Hochatown’s appeal as a year-round outdoorsy destination while hot tubs are almost mandatory in this exclusive community. Spare yourself from scrolling and dive straight into a hygge weekender at these luxury cabins in Hochatown, OK.

Equipped with a custom home cinema, games loft, sauna, and patio hot tub, there’s little reason to leave the estate. Keep your eyes peeled for a Bigfoot cameo.

A magical stay is a guarantee at “The Shire”, a Hochatown Airbnb inspired by Middle-earth. The main residence is sparingly decorated with collectibles and movie memorabilia without going overboard.

A hot tub, fire pit, and kitchen gizmos keep the place up to scratch with the rest of the resort town.

Located in the exclusive Eagle Mountain Community, the distilleries and cafes of Hochatown are minutes away.
This secluded chalet marries modern minimalism and whimsical decor to create a restful retreat for couples or groups.

Another hefty vacation pad with a games room, “Hilltop Hangout” is essentially a private hostel for your nearest and dearest. Just a two-mile drive from the center of Hochatown along a paved road, it’s minutes from restaurants, Broken Bow Lake, and family attractions.

S’mores kits and firewood bundles are available if you underpack. The theme of Unplugged is to disconnect although you’ll be forgiven for switching on the TV after a day of hiking.
“Our Neck of the Woods” sits on a one-acre lot and appears far more remote than it is in reality. Adorned with boutique furnishings and amenities straight out of the box, the chalet feels like a showhome. A stable door reveals the main suite where you’ll find a decadent tub for post-Jacuzzi bubble baths. It’s quiet enough to hear a pin drop yet minutes from Hochatown restaurants.
