Lodging
On River Time Lodge
ON RIVER TIME exudes a warm lodge theme throughout the cabin bringing the outdoors in. The great room and kitchen are open and very spacious. The fireplace is a focal point along with the amazing river view from the windows. The kitchen is fully stocked with all your cooking needs along with a gas stove and griddle. The dining table will seat eight, the bar seats six and an extra table seats four. There is a smart TV in the living room along with Directv. There is also a sound system in the living room and outside porch area. The outside covered porch has a wood burning fireplace, sitting area, an outdoor kitchen along with a hot tub with an up close and personal view of the river and mountains.
The downstairs has a large master king suite with a sitting area, jacuzzi tub, and sauna. There is another King Bedroom with a full bath that is across the hallway . It is shared with a bunk room with Queen over twin bunk beds. All of the bedrooms downstairs have smart TVs. Both of the king bedrooms downstairs have views of the river from the windows.
When you walk upstairs, you will enter a sitting area that has a cozy feel with a chaise lounge sectional and a bean bag chair. There is also a coffee bar, sink and a mini fridge in this area. If the guests upstairs are early risers, they can have their coffee upstairs, so they don’t disturb the downstairs guests. When you leave the sitting area to the main hallway, there is a full built in bunk. The king master suite upstairs has a double vanity and white tile shower. There is an entrance to the outdoor deck from the sitting area, and the king master suite that has a beautiful river view. At the end of the hallway, there are two built-in queen beds and a vanity with a sink area. The second bathroom upstairs has two vanities and a tub/shower. There are smart TVs in every room with the exception of the bunkroom. Directv is in the sitting area as well.
The only sounds you will hear during your visit are those of nature. If you are adventurous, you can hike, which starts right on the lodge lawn, and explore across 164 acres through our hiking trails. Turkey Trot Trail, Whitetail Trail and Diamondback Trail will be a vigorous experience for the whole family. The trails will lead you past the flowing river and across Burks Hollow Creek to the destination of two different Mountaintops, Eagles’ Ridge and Pines Peak. If you are a fisherman, you will love catching Bass and Perch at The Fishin’ Hole. You can also take a canoe or kayak out to fish, enjoy floating around or just relax. There are also shallow parts to the river where you can bring your lawn chair to sit and watch the river flow over the rocks. If you enjoy games and activities, Nature’s Yard is the spot to be. You can play volleyball, horseshoes, or hang out in the outdoor pavilion. If you would like to see a show, Sunset Theater is an outdoor amphitheater where nature takes the stage with the river sights and sounds with the mountain as the backdrop. The cast of the show is the occasional deer, squirrels, turkey and on some occasions eagles which are the stars of the show. The Last Wild River is a great place to spend time with family and friends to experience nature at its best! Words cannot do this little piece of heaven justice, but know it is good for the soul.

If you’re looking for “off the beaten” path, this is the place for you!
Every year, my family and another family travel together to ring in the New Year. Our original plans were to stay in Broken Bow but our cabin didn’t have water so it was cancelled the day of travel. I’ve never been so happy for cancelled plans because we found a gem in this place. If you stop reading here, book it. You won’t regret it.
The rest is a long review but it’s written for the serial researchers like myself 🙂
Bedrooms
We stayed four nights and had nine people (four adults and five kids (ages 1-8)) in our party. Every bed we used was comfortable, the bedrooms and bathrooms were clean, plenty of blankets, and a dedicated bunk room for the kids. Even though the master bedroom and bathroom are incredible (!!), my husband and I didn’t feel like we were missing anything because the accommodations upstairs were equally amazing. We even peeked at the mattress brand because we slept so well!
Driving
We drove in from North Texas and it was a very easy drive with the directions provided. We didn’t have any issues with maps getting there but step-by-step directions are provided, too.
Amenities
Hiking – We took small kids with us on one and there are more challenging trails if only adults and older kids are hiking. The property is a ‘retired’ Boy Scout camp so there is plenty to see. Not to mention you’re surrounded by the Glover River.
Kayaks and Canoes – Everyone in our party LOVED the kayaking and canoeing. We really felt this was a special touch with the house. It’s not typical to walk outside of a house and be able to get right into a river. The river was calm enough for our two eight and six year old to canoe on their own. They loved the independence and we felt safe knowing they had quality life jackets provided by the owners.
Hot tub – We only used the hot tub a couple of times but it worked great!
Games – We did see that some games were provided but we spent 99% of our time outside.
Speakers – One of our favorite things was the sound system! You can use Pandora, Spotify, etc. via AirPlay and play your music in the house or on the patio. We sat outside by the fire and played our music for HOURS.
Space – I consider this an amenity! There are no neighbors, no cars, no noise except for nature and the river. It’s exceptional.
WiFi – There is WiFi at the house. I don’t think it worked on our hike because we were far from the house. It worked when we needed it in the house and we were good with that.
Food and Groceries
Because our plans changed last minute, we weren’t very prepared with food. Make sure to plan your meals, snacks, drinks, etc. There is a convenient store about ten minutes away that we were able to restock water and drinks. I ended up near a Pruett’s (see sick kid paragraph below) and grabbed more meat and snacks. If you had to go there it was only about 20-25 minutes away.
Owners
We’re very thankful to have traveled a lot in our lives but I have *never* encountered owners like this. Ten minutes after we walked in the door, Toni was at the door greeting us and letting us know they needed to reset the WiFi. We had a chance to visit for a bit and get to know the story of the area. We appreciate that they took the time to tell us more about the property and answer any questions we had.
On day two, one of our little ones got sick and needed urgent care. I texted with Toni and she helped me find the closest clinic. Someone getting sick is never part of the plan so her kindness helped me feel far less “fish out of the water” in a place we’ve never been.
If you’re on the fence about this place, don’t hesitate. We were already booked for next year before we even left.

It was amazing! The perfect getaway for our family! From kayaking, hiking, fishing, and playing games, it’s truly the most peaceful place we have ever stayed. Will definitely be back next summer.

We have spent many weekends in the Hochatown/Broken Bow area. Love the time away and the luxuriousness of the cabins. This cabin was by far the most private and luxurious we have stayed. It’s miles from any neighbors on its own private land on a beautiful river. It was just the wife and I for a Valentines getaway, but it can accommodate many people/families. It seems like miles of long gravel road to the property but when you get to the private gated entrance on top of a beautiful overlook you can see the valley the property sits on. It is 15-20 minutes away from anything and 30-45 minutes away from Hochatown, but we never left because it has everything! It’s like its own private spa resort! It has a multi car garage and an amazing back porch overlooking the running river. We used the grill and hot tub multiple times. Even in the middle of nowhere they had wireless internet and satellite tv. Everything is custom built and the architecture is beautiful. Great for family reunions or large work get-togethers. Can’t wait to go back!
