This was my first time in Broken Bow, but my girlfriend was a veteran. Even her expectations were exceeded in our beautiful cabin, Magic Carpet. It's a very luxurious space, impeccably decorated, and well appointed. Although most would expect "rustic" to be a key decorating theme, this cabin has more of a Turkish influence throughout (particularly in the lighting department), which makes for a wonderful alternative experience. One of my favorite touches is the epoxy flooring, in a beautiful swirl of purple and gold, across the entire first floor of the cabin.
Downstairs amenities included a beautiful kitchen that was well stocked in hardware, including a beautiful stainless steel French fridge over freezer unit, smoothtop stove and oven in the island, drip coffee maker, Keurig coffee maker, conventional plates/silverware/preparation knives, cutting boards, containers, toaster, slow cooker, Kitchenaid stand mixer etc. Note, though, that the only "software" was salt, pepper, Sweet n Low, and some basic coffee - bring everything you need if you want to cook. We brought a Home Chef meal to cook, but we had to go out for olive oil. There's also a big screen TV and Sonos sound system, including a nice surround sound setup. But our favorite downstairs amenity was the 60-in-1 cocktail table video game, which provided hours of entertainment for me and my girlfriend.
Moving upstairs, there's an expansive and elaborate king size bed, but beware that it's elevated so much that stepstools (provided) are needed to mount and dismount. It was very comfortable, though, and there's another big TV for viewing from the bed. A large triangle shaped tub provides jets and lights, and a standalone shower features beautiful stonework as well as a very nice multi shower head system.
Bathrooms throughout are completely updated with glass vessel sinks, waterfall faucets, and large oval toilets. Curtains cover most windows, but know that there are some large uncovered windows upstairs that allow a lot of light in; bring sleep masks if you expect to sleep after sunrise. HVAC systems, upstairs and down, are more than adequate to keep the temperature where you want it, at least in the winter. Fireplaces are also located upstairs and down; the former, an electric "virtual" unit at the foot of the bed, the latter a conventional gas fireplace with timer in the living room.
Outside, there's a hot tub that's fairly isolated, but be advised that determined neighbors or passersby could get a look without much effort. Perhaps one of the very few items that could use improvement is the outdoor firepit - it had collected some water, was too heavy to overturn for emptying, and we were unsuccessful in starting a fire, despite using a full bottle of starter fluid and starter "sticks" (note that the management company refunded our money for the firewood after this was brought to their attention).
Also note that the driveway is a little steep and features gravel over sand (not paved); bring the Bentley and leave the Ferrari at home for this visit.
Overall, we had a wonderful nearly three day weekend here, and would eagerly come back to visit this exact cabin, or others nearby. Unlike some travelers, we spent almost every moment in the cabin (as planned), because, well, that's the experience we wanted this time. Next time, we'll explore some of the great restaurants, breweries, and other entertainment and dining options nearby.
