This was the most beautiful place I have ever seen in broken bow! The seclusion of the home is like no other. Getting to wake up with the sunrise over the mountains and lake just makes the whole trip. Thank y’all so much for letting us continue our love for nature and amazing views in your home.

Quiet, private, and gorgeous views.

The Tower in the Clouds is BY FAR our favorite VRBO that we've ever rented. It's on the top of a peak and provides a beautiful 360 degree view of the mountains. This are of the state has very low light pollution, so the property is phenomenal for star gazing. In addition, we arrived during a period of heavy snow. Andy and Debbie stayed in constant communication with us about conditions and even sent extremely detailed directions with pin drops of spots to look out for in the snow. We got our vehicle stuck, and they contacted a local that helped us get out. All-in-all, our family regularly rents through VRBO and this property has been our absolute favorite as far as the house, the location, the owners' communication, everything. We can't say enough great things about this place.

Amazing views

Property was exactly as described. Especially about the type of vehicle needed to get to the property so make sure you read that part. You definitely need at least 8 inches of clearance. Parts of the drive up is bumpy but the reward is the view. Owners were amazing and quick to respond on any questions.

Andy and Debbie were excellent, friendly hosts, quick to respond if needed! Not only did they provide thorough and helpful information concerning the property and amenities but they also shared helpful information, of varied interests, for the surrounding area. The cabin, the views and night sky were absolutely beautiful, peaceful and just what we wanted for a quiet, secluded retreat! But we also took advantage of the many trails, the lake and nearby fishing when we chose to! Thank you Andy and Debbie for sharing it all!
