Owner's note

Start clockwise — the climb is easier that direction. The dirt parking lot at the trailhead fills up by 9am on fall weekends.

Moderate elevation gain, well-marked, dogs on leash. The overlook at the high point shows the entire south arm of Broken Bow Lake.

Sound of Sunshine & As Good As It Gets

Two large family cabins, both within a short drive. Book direct — no fees, no middleman.

Planning your trip

Skyline Trail (Beavers Bend) 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.
