We absolutely loved our stay at You Had Me At Merlot, Broken Bow! Our checkin in-out process was simple. The home was clean, kept up to date, and perfectly appointed for six adults(3 couples) and four minors. The owners have invested in the outdoor amenities that made the experience really fun for the whole family.

Fantastic Cabin! The outdoor patio was incredible! The Fire Pit was amazing. Only thing that was wrong with the property was 3 out of 4 recliners on the love seat and couch were broken. However the property manager may not be aware of this imfe. Other than that we really had a fantastic stay! Thank y’all for such much for an amazing cabin!

Me and my family was very impressed with the comfort and features that came with the house. It gave everyone of us something to do and a place to do it. If we wanted we really didn't have to go anywhere but to get food and sightsee some things in the area. I would definitely recommend to friends and family and anyone else that just wanted a lovely place to go and enjoy themselves. Almost felt like home and we was all sad to leave when it was time. I loved the mini golf course and the upstairs gaming area. Also loved the back patio with the hot tub and entertainment area with the TV where we could still watch while being in the tub. At that the place was close to a lot of venues and just about everything Hochatown could offer. This was my first real family vacation with my 6 kids and had plenty of room for everything and everyone. If someone wanted to get away from home but still feel relaxed and comfortable like being home I'd suggest to go to You had me at Merlot. We are still talking about it even now. Thank you so much for having us.

Great for all ages
Our stay at You Had Me At Merlot was a wonderful experience. The bedrooms were big and the attached bathrooms were nice!!! Our family enjoyed playing putt putt, horse shoes, billiards and the many other games the property had to offer. The fire pit had plenty of chairs for all of us to enjoy, we especially loved the covered back porch where we spend the mornings drinking coffee, eating meals at the table and spending the evenings lounging on the couches in front of the fireplace. We truly enjoy our stay and will be staying there again next time we are in town.
