The Beavers Bend region of southeastern Oklahoma offers scenic rivers, dense tracts of pine forest and the clear, clean waters of Broken Bow Lake, a favorite destination for boaters and anglers. The customary lodging in the area is a private cabin in the woods, but there are inns that are more traditional and bed-and-breakfasts available as well.
This state-operated inn offers 40 rooms, each with a view of Broken Bow Lake. The furnishings are simple and traditional, and guests have access to free cable TV and free coffee makers. Complimentary breakfast is served each morning in the "Great Room" downstairs, and a long balcony terrace is available for guests seeking to unwind. The town of Broken Bow is nearby, with several restaurant choices, and the Lakeview is close to Beavers Bend State Park.
