FAQ

Questions guests ask before booking

Short answers first. Anything not covered, email us and you will hear back from the owners.

The cabin, booking and your stay

How many people can stay at Smokey Marshmallow?

Up to 4. There is one bedroom with a king bed and a queen sleeper sofa in the living room. It is built for couples first, and works for a couple with two children or two close friends.

Is the hot tub private?

Yes. The hot tub sits on the covered back deck, screened by the pines, with no other cabin in view.

Where exactly is the cabin?

On 1.5 private acres inside the Ouachita National Forest, north of Hochatown off US-259 in Broken Bow, Oklahoma. About 14 minutes to the Hochatown restaurants and wineries, 20 to Broken Bow Lake, 22 to Beavers Bend State Park, and roughly three hours from Dallas.

What time is check-in and check-out?

Check-in is any time after 4:00 PM with a keypad code we send the day before. Check-out is by 11:00 AM.

Are dogs allowed?

Yes, up to 2 well-behaved, house-trained dogs with a pet fee. Dogs stay off beds and furniture and are not left alone inside unless crated. The 200-foot trail is their favorite part.

Is there an EV charger?

Yes, a 50-amp NEMA 14-50 outlet on the cabin (the same plug an RV or a Tesla Mobile Connector uses). Bring your car's mobile connector with the 14-50 adapter and you charge at Level 2 speed overnight. Free parking for two vehicles in the driveway.

How fast is the Wi-Fi?

Fiber, measured at 792 Mbps on the listing. Video calls and streaming are not a problem, and there is a dedicated workspace if you need to work a morning.

Is there a minimum age to book?

The primary guest must be 25 or older and present for the stay.

What is the cancellation policy for direct bookings?

The policy is shown on every quote before you pay and is frozen onto your booking. The current policy is on the Policies page.

Why book direct instead of Airbnb or Vrbo?

Same cabin, same hosts, lower total: there is no platform service fee on a direct booking, and you deal with us directly before, during and after your stay. Your card is authorized but not charged until we confirm, usually within a couple of hours.

Is the property fenced?

The cabin sits on an open wooded lot with a walking trail; it is not fully fenced. Bring a leash for the trail and the drive.

Where can dogs go in Beavers Bend?

Leashed dogs are welcome on the trails at Beavers Bend State Park. Check current park rules for the swimming areas.

What are the pet rules inside?

Dogs stay off beds, couches and chairs, are not left unattended inside unless crated, and guests clean up after them. Pet damage is the guest's responsibility.

Is it really the same cabin as the Airbnb listing?

Yes. Smokey Marshmallow on Airbnb and Vrbo is this cabin, with the same hosts. The calendar on this site is synced with both.

How is my payment protected?

Payments run through Stripe, the same processor behind most online checkouts. We never see your card number. Your card is authorized, not charged, until we confirm your dates.

What if the dates get taken while I am booking?

Our calendar re-checks Airbnb and Vrbo the moment you click Book. In the rare case a night is taken in those minutes, we release the authorization immediately and email you.

Do I get a damage deposit charged?

That depends on the policy shown at checkout. If a refundable deposit applies, it is a temporary authorization placed shortly before arrival and released after check-out.

Can you set up a celebration?

Tell us what the occasion is when you book and we will do what we can. Email us before arrival with anything specific.

Is the cabin private, or part of a resort?

Private. It is a single cabin on 1.5 wooded acres inside the Ouachita National Forest, with a 200-foot walking trail, a hammock and macrame swing chairs under the pines. No shared amenities, no neighbors on the deck.

Book direct

Same cabin. Same hosts. No service fee.

Airbnb and Vrbo add a platform fee on top of the nightly rate. Booking here skips it, and you get a direct line to the people who own the cabin. Your card is authorized, not charged, until we confirm, usually within a couple of hours.
