# Deer to My Heart | A Distinctive Woodland Retreat with a Private Game House

**STR License # STR-AV-802153**

Escape to Deer to My Heart, a thoughtfully designed retreat that reimagines the traditional cabin experience. Nestled among the trees in Hochatown, this unique property features two separate buildings connected by a covered breezeway, creating dedicated spaces for both relaxation and entertainment. Whether you are planning a getaway with friends, two couples traveling together, or a small family vacation, Deer to My Heart offers comfort, privacy, and an experience unlike any other.

Located just minutes from Broken Bow Lake, Beavers Bend State Park, and Hochatown's restaurants, wineries, breweries, shopping, and attractions, this inviting retreat places you close to everything while offering the peaceful setting of a private woodland escape.

## Designed for Connection

The main cabin welcomes guests with warm wood finishes, an open-concept layout, and inviting gathering spaces that make it easy to enjoy time together. The fully equipped kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining and living areas, creating the perfect setting for everything from leisurely breakfasts to evenings spent sharing meals and conversation.

The comfortable living room features a seasonal fireplace, comfortable seating, and a queen sofa sleeper, offering additional flexibility for families or small groups.

## Comfortable Accommodations

Both king suites have been designed as private retreats, each featuring its own ensuite bathroom with custom rock showers that create a spa-inspired atmosphere.

The primary suite offers a truly memorable experience with a stunning waterfall shower, providing a relaxing way to unwind after a day of exploring Broken Bow.

### Sleeping Arrangements

* 2 King Beds
* 1 Queen Sofa Sleeper

Comfortably accommodates up to 6 guests with the provided bedding.

## A Game House All Its Own

One of Deer to My Heart's most distinctive features is its separate game house.

Connected to the main cabin by a covered breezeway, this dedicated entertainment space allows guests to enjoy friendly competition without interrupting those relaxing inside the main home. Challenge family and friends to a game of pool, watch your favorite team on the large television, or simply gather for conversation in a comfortable setting designed for spending time together.

Additional entertainment features are planned, making this space even more enjoyable for future guests.

## Outdoor Living

The covered breezeway naturally extends your living space outdoors, creating a welcoming place to gather between the cabin and game house.

Spend your mornings enjoying coffee surrounded by the peaceful forest, relax in the spacious six-to-eight-person hot tub after a day on the lake, or prepare dinner on the gas grill before settling in beside the outdoor fireplace to watch your favorite show beneath the evening sky.

The property's scenic dry creek bed and wooded surroundings provide a peaceful backdrop that encourages guests to slow down and enjoy the beauty of nature.

## Explore Broken Bow

Whether you spend the day boating on Broken Bow Lake, hiking the trails of Beavers Bend State Park, sampling local wineries and breweries, or discovering Hochatown's growing collection of shops and restaurants, Deer to My Heart provides the perfect home base for every adventure.

Return each evening to your private retreat where comfort, entertainment, and quiet woodland surroundings come together for an unforgettable stay.

Family getaway

We loved the cabin! It was clean and ready to enjoy. When we arrived the tv in the game room wasn’t working but we were able to manage with the other 4 on the property! The next day the tv was repaired and the teen appreciated that! My only recommendation is to add gates to the breezeway steps at the front and another at the back deck leading downstairs. This would really help with keeping the younger kids safe. Also a pull out sofa bed in the game room would be a great addition!! We will recommend this cabin!

Our stay

We love coming to broken bow! We come every year! I was very disappointed in our stay this time. We had absolutely no internet connection whatsoever. That is very frustrating. It wasn’t bc of weather or any reason, like it went out. We never had it. Also, not enough seating for a family of 6. We could never all sit together and visit in the living space or even out back. Batteries in remotes need to be replaced. Light bulbs were out in several rooms. Can opener is broken. The boys enjoyed the game room with the pool table. That is definitely a nice thing to have for kids. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Just needs those things listed maintained.

Clean and Relaxing

Enjoyed my stay, Was a little disappointed that it wasn't more secluded but still a beautiful area. House was clean, pool table was an added bonus, perfect sunrises to enjoy in the hot tub. And some great memories made.

Thank you! We had a wonderful time!

We enjoyed our stay so much! Two quick suggestions: add a blow dryer to your amenities (we didn’t think to bring one and it was very cold to air dry - lol!) and you need a new can opener!! Other than that - it was fantastic. Thanks again!

Better than the pictures

This place was perfect for our family of 4. We have stayed at several VRBO's, and this one was quality. It was super clean, the decor was awesome, and it was near a cut-de-sac. Loved the area, and the homes are spread out enough that you still have privacy. The location was near many activities, but still felt like we were in the middle of nowhere. Loved the hot tub, outdoor fireplace, and fire-it! The game room was an added bonus! I would highly recommend this place, and would definitely book this property again. The *ONLY* thing I wish it had was some type of lighting around the fire-it area, because it's gets really dark, but other than that, wouldn't change a thing!
