Our Exclusive Guide to the Most Instagrammable Locations in Hochatown | Oklahoma Luxury Vacation Rental Cabins
/Have you really gone on vacation if Instagram doesn’t know about it? These days, one of the best parts of taking a vacation is finding incredible new spots to photograph and share with your friends online. Your Hochatown luxury cabin getaway is no exception - and we have the best spots in town already scoped out for you. Whether it's an outdoor shot for the ages, or a fun and funky indoor selfie, these are the 8 most instagrammable spots for you to check out in and around Hochatown and Broken Bow.
AROUND TOWN
The Maze of Hochatown
When it comes to instagrammable spots, The Maze has it all. It’s the perfect location for a variety of popular shots - that hand holding couple would love it here - while also having the benefit of being unique. Great for silly candids as you navigate the 29,000 square foot wooden maze, there are several lookout locations where you can grab snaps of your family and friends from above, too. The raised locations also give you a great opportunity for some incredible abstract, geometric photography unlike anywhere else!
Hochatown Petting Zoo
Who doesn’t want Alfalfa the Alpaca in their Instagram story? Animal posts are always a huge win, and this petting zoo will have your feed lighting up. Smile for the camera with Figgy the kinkajou or Blake the kangaroo. Snap a picture while you snuggle up with Chrissy the squirrel, or post a video of you singing a duet with Reba the parrot. The cast of rescue animals at the Hochatown Petting Zoo are camera ready.
Beavers Bend State Park
It’s sort of cheating to call this one location. There are hundreds of perfect spots throughout the 3,482 acre park to grab the perfect shot. From the white waters flowing over rocks on Mountain Fork River to the hidden waterfall just off the trails, there is no shortage of spectacular locations to share with your followers.
Keep your eye out for the wildlife - there’s nothing quite like capturing the majesty of a blue heron in flight or the sweet face of a fawn peeking around a tree. If more manicured nature is your thing, there are 18 holes of possibilities at Cedar Creek Golf Course. Perhaps you’ll get a #holeinone at one the greens overlooking Broken Bow Lake!
Once you’re ready to give your story an adrenaline rush, there is no better place to grab a selfie than on a zipline 60 ft above the forest floor. Swing by Rugaru Zipline for an experience - and stunning shots - you’ll never forget. While you’re at it, grab a few seconds of video of the incredible view to share with your followers.
Broken Bow Lake
Beach pics have never been hotter than those taken on the shores of Broken Bow Lake. A perfect location to grab sunny selfies, the lake has plenty of unique ways to spice up your Instagram feed. Hop in a kayak or paddle boat to catch a few pics out on the water, or pull out your fishing gear and treat your followers to a few shots of your day’s catch. And we’ll let you in on a little secret of the locals - the best shots on the lake are made at daybreak while the fog floats atop the surface. Trust us, you won’t want to miss it.
AROUND LAKEWOOD LUXURY CABINS
‘Party of 5’ Porch
Nothing says vacation quite like lounging outside on a porch, and Party of 5 has one of the most photogenic porches around. The rough hewn, wooden outdoor dining table is the perfect locale to snap a family shot (or document dinner, of course!) as the sun sets behind the trees. For a cozier vibe, enjoy our matching rocking chairs in front of the outdoor fireplace - the snap and crackle of the wood burning is great for video stories! Make your followers green with envy and grab a few shots in the enormous hot tub. Definitely don’t go back inside without simply capturing the view you’ll have with your morning coffee - a peaceful pine forest free from distraction.
‘Pines in the Sky’ Video Game Nook
Want something in your Instagram feed that almost no one else does? Pines in the Sky has the perfect spot. Just next to the fireplace in the living room you’ll find a video game table you haven’t come across in years. Take a seat on the carved wooden stools and document your victory over your friends and family. Better yet, it’s the perfect place to use Instagram’s boomerang effect and leave your followers guessing about who wins. They’re not in the nook, but you can keep up the family game night theme at Pines in the Sky’s air hockey and foosball tables, too.
‘Leaping Lizard Lodge’ Master Bedroom
What isn’t instagrammable about Leaping Lizard Lodge’s master bedroom? It’s a photographer’s paradise. The stunning stone fireplace is a great place to start - whether you’re grabbing a mesmerizing video of a roaring fire or focusing on the unique sculpture on the mantle, you can’t go wrong. Or, grab a snap of the beautiful copper vases on the shelves nearby (and don’t forget to sneak in a few shots of the lizard who lives there, too!) Speaking of lizards, the themed bed pillows make an awesome addition to your feed. For a stunning pop of color, the grand, teal armoire is the perfect piece to engage your followers.
‘Idle Bliss’ Perfect Touches
When it comes to Instagram, the best shots are often of the little things - and Idle Bliss is overflowing with them. Create an intriguing vacation feed by starting in the bathroom - the intricate black and white tile makes for a stunning backdrop or shot all on its own. Keep up with a trend by photographing the tiny succulents accenting spaces from the bathroom to the living area. Definitely take advantage of the custom coffee mugs and trays throughout the house - they’ll make perfectly themed photos! Nearly every detail throughout Idle Bliss - from the adorable salt and pepper shakers to the teal adirondack chairs around the fire pit - will liven up your feed or story like no other.
Conclusion
Hochatown doesn’t have the touristy Instagram traps of the big cities - and that’s definitely a huge advantage. Throughout the Broken Bow area and our luxury cabins, there are plenty of opportunities for you to capture moments and spaces unlike any other. We can’t wait to see what you capture.
