On my last post about the Broken Bow cabin, I teased showing the outside of the cabin as well. I lost track of time and it no longer seemed relevant, but two separate people have asked to see them so, here they are.

The picture above was taken during our drive to Broken Bow. For about four hours, that’s what it looks like. Trees, sky, road.

This was my first view of the cabin, and this picture doesn’t even show the whole thing. For example, the left hand side of the cabin wraps around and is blocked in this picture. I guess for four people, it’ll do.

This covered section of the porch is where I initially set up shop when we arrived. I began carrying a mouse pad in my laptop bag after the first time I encountered a glass top desk in a hotel room, and it sure came in handy here. The view from this table was great, but between the shade and the soft breeze, it cooled off pretty quickly.

To access this outside patio guests have to follow the path between the two cabins and make their way down a series of steps made from large stones. There were two tables on this patio, each with six seats, plus some additional benches, stools, and a grill. What you can’t see in this picture is that the patio looks down over a road and two other cabins. The only time I visited this patio was to take this picture. That being said, the trees in this picture are to the east, and I’m sure this is a nice place to sip coffee and watch the sun come up in the morning.

That tiny blue spot off in the distance is one of my kids standing in between the hot tub and the fire pit. Both were located on the southwest corner of the property, the furthest spot from any other cabin. That area was very quiet and secluded. The wall of trees surrounding the property drowned out most of the noise.

For about an hour, this was my view. The hot tub was specifically positioned to offer a view of the sun setting through the trees. This was my “this is why we live here” picture.

The fire pit was about ten feet away from the hot tub so I didn’t feel any heat from it while I was soaking, but it sure was nice to look at (and dry off in front of a little bit later).

The inside of the cabin was very comfortable, but the outside was just as relaxing. One of my favorite things about the cabin were all the large windows that let you view the outdoors while sitting inside across from the fireplace. I enjoyed sitting in the rocking chairs on the porch and sitting around the covered porch, but floating in a hot tub and sipping on a cold brew while watching the sun go down isn’t the evening I’ve ever had.
