Owner's note
A $20 bag keeps a 6-year-old busy for 45 minutes. Pair with a pizza next door at Grateful Head.
Real garnets, quartz, geodes, fossils. Kids love it; the operators are genuinely warm.

Sound of Sunshine & As Good As It Gets
Two large family cabins, both within a short drive. Book direct — no fees, no middleman.

Beavers Bend Mining Co. is one stop on a Broken Bow weekend. Most guests drive in Friday afternoon, spend Saturday on the water or in Hochatown, and head home Sunday. Two nights is the minimum on most dates, three feels a lot better. Cell service is patchy once you leave the main road, so download your map before you arrive, and bring groceries — the nearest full store is in Broken Bow proper, about 15 minutes south of the cabin strip.
We host two cabins here ourselves and answer every message personally. If you are not sure which dates are open or which cabin fits your group, just ask — we would rather help you plan than watch you guess.
