PERFECTION
This little piece of heaven was absolutely wonderful. From the minute we walked in the door - when music started playing from the TV!! - to the minute we left - everything was perfect. Diana was a dream to communicate with and made sure we had all the information we needed prior to our stay. Not one detail was left untouched in this property! I've stayed in several VRBOs and this was by far the absolute best. Also the cleanest - everything was SPOTLESS. We will definitely be back!!!

This place is so ā€œSereneā€ - just what we needed. From beginning to end my experience in finding, booking, and staying in this beautiful cabin was the best ever. We will definitely recommend this to everyone! The Ramirezes

THE SPACE:

When you open the door to our professionally designed cabin, your spirit is calmed. The soothing color palette and cozy furnishings will make you want to stay indefinitely. Enjoy the diffused lighting and the backdrop of huge pines behind the cabin through the wall of windows as you enter off the covered front porch, level to the ground with no steps from the circular gravel driveway. Roads are paved all the way to the cabin, so feel free to bring your sportiest ride!

Inside, youā€™ll find a large living area with designer furnishings, an open, modern kitchen and seating at the farmhouse table in the designated dining area. Just past the main area, youā€™ll love the bedroom (itā€™s a stunner), separate from the living area by a door - this is not just a one room studio. The bedroom has a King bed with luxury linens and high end memory foam mattress and French doors to the back deck/hot tub. Thereā€™s a separate door to the large, spa-like bathroom, complete with oversized tub, two person shower, his and hers spa robes, a separate toilet closet, Beekman 1802 soap, shampoo, and lotion, fluffy white spa towels, make up towels and wipes, and an eye mask for the sensitive sleeper.

Once you get settled in, youā€™ll find so many options. Relax on our Pottery Barn sofa and listen to one of our vinyl albums on our throw-back record player (or connect the Bluetooth to your own playlist), or curl up in one of our comfy chairs with a fuzzy blanket and one of our books. You could challenge your loved one with one of our many games, make a meal together in our chefā€™s kitchen, take the worldā€™s longest soak in our spa tub, or nap in whatā€™s been repeatedly called ā€œthe most comfortable mattress we have ever slept onā€ by our guests.

We didnā€™t forget about the exterior! The front porch offers oversized egg-chairs for people watching or enjoying your morning coffee. And the back porch... so many options. Itā€™s the best seat in the house for the ā€œshowā€ each evening... the sunsets are a must-see from the back deck. Donā€™t be surprised if deer come by for a visit... itā€™s a common occurrence. Relax in the hot tub, watch TV by the outdoor fireplace (seasonal) in the outdoor seating, grill your favorite dish on our propane grill (propane and grill utensils are provided), take a selfie with our new fun wall mural, challenge your partner to a game of corn hole or ladder golf, enjoy the string lights and fire pit when the sun goes down (when drought conditions arenā€™t present), and donā€™t forget sā€™mores around the fire, under the most gorgeous starry sky youā€™ve ever seen. We are on an oversized 1.3 acre corner lot, with lots of room to spread out and relax.

Also, and most importantly, you will receive 5-star service from beginning to end. We truly want every guest to have the best possible experience, whether this is your first visit to Broken Bow or if you come on a regular basis. We offer assistance with just about everything from recommendations and suggestions on where to go and what to do while in town, to helping plan for important events and helping to coordinate delivery of flowers, cakes, groceries, firewood, etc. Our approach is to treat guests even better than we would ever expect and to provide fun surprises along the way. Youā€™ll have the ownerā€™s contact information from day one, and if you have any questions with anything about our property, the area, or the best steak in townā€¦ just ask!

Joy in the Morning is a special haven for those looking for rest, relaxation, reconnection, recreation or restoration - or a little bit of everything. Guests rave that we ā€œhave thought of everythingā€ and ā€œwe canā€™t wait to come back!ā€

Loved the cabin and the location. The only reason I gave four stars was the back porch privacy wasnā€™t the best. Only because in January the trees are not in full bloom and the road behind the cabin was in full view of the back porch. we also noticed you cant use the tub & shower at the same time. No water pressure

A Serene Escape in Hochatown ā€“ Perfect Getaway Cabin!
Our stay at the Joy in the Morning cabin at Hochatown was absolutely phenomenal! Nestled amidst the towering pines, this charming retreat offered the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. From the moment we arrived, we were enchanted by the peaceful surroundings and beautifully maintained property.The cabin itself was immaculate and thoughtfully designed. The spacious interior featured cozy furnishings, a fully equipped kitchen, and a luxurious hot tub that became our favorite spot to unwind under the stars. The large deck, complete with a grill and comfortable seating, made it easy to enjoy the serene beauty of nature every morning with coffee in hand.Located just minutes from Beavers Bend State Park and Broken Bow Lake, the cabin was ideally situated for outdoor adventures. Our favorites were renting a Jeep from the Captainā€™s Hideaway and eating at Lake Bums 259. After a day of exploration, we loved returning to the cabin to relax by the fireplace.The hosts went above and beyond to make our stay memorable and providing excellent communication. It was clear they genuinely cared about our experience.If youā€™re looking for a peaceful retreat that offers both relaxation and adventure, this cabin is the perfect choice. We canā€™t wait to return and create more unforgettable memories! Highly recommend!

Lovely Cabin for a getaway weekend!
We loved the cabin!! Beautifully decorated and well-appointed with everything you may need. Loved the huge windows giving great natural light as well as lovely forest views! Diana was very responsive. We only had one minor issue with the grill, but we got it figured out and she was great to deal with! The only other thing would be the lights kept on at night at the house across the roadā€¦.they kept the bedroom too light for our comfort at night. Thatā€™s not at all the ownersā€™ fault and wouldnā€™t keep us from returning! I just wouldnā€™t forget my sleep mask! šŸ˜Š. If youā€™re looking for a great couplesā€™ getaway, Joy in the Morning definitely fits the bill!! We canā€™t wait to return!
