★ A NOTE ON OUR LOCAL NEIGHBORS ★ We are thrilled to share our slice of nature with you!

Occasionally, larger wildlife like raccoons may pass through.

Great Cabin
Outdoor fireplaces were fantastic, LOVED the porches and the play set and hot tub and game room. Even though it was raining and cool, kids had a blast and didn’t get bored at all. Very kid friendly.
Great place for a big family trip.

The stay itself was great. Time with family was fantastic. Half of the tvs in the cabin did not operate properly. There was a horrible sewage smell. There was a mice in the outdoor grilling area drawers. The wifi was very weak therefore everyone did not have functionality with their devices.

Family fun
Cabin is huge. Plenty of space for 23 of us! The only issue was the cleaners were still there when we arrived for check in at 4pm. They were not done til 530. They were very nice and allowed us to come in while they finished. We let the property management know and they gave us a small refund for the inconvenience.

Inside game room was great. Not to mention the kitchen had everything that was needed for our preparing food & serving 24 people!!!
All of our family had good comments about the cabin & enjoyed it very much!!! We enjoyed celebrating our 59th anniversary with all the family!

Cousins Trip 2024
My cousins and I had a complete blast this past weekend. PTMC had more than enough space for my cousins and their spouses (16). We absolutely loved the fact that we all had own bathrooms! The cabin itself was so beautiful. Craig kept in contact with me through the whole process. We will definitely visit again and definitely worth the price and deserving of the 5 stars!! Thank you so much for helping in making our trip memorable!

Multi-family vacation/retreat
24 of us ages 1-64 representing 6 family units had a blast in this beautiful and spacious home - the older kids loved the hot tub and tube hammock, while the younger ones enjoyed the play ground - only one complaint and that is the grounds - all gravel that is slippery on the hillside which made it very hard to walk up to the firepit & playground area - we had lots of falls & the back deck needs a step down to the yard. But we would stay here again!!

Magic at the Cabin
Puff the Magic Cabin was home to 11 seniors that love to travel together and enjoy life. We certainly made many memories even making s'mores on the fire pit. Rooms are divided both upstairs and downstairs with the living/kitchen in the center. Plenty of room to cook together or visit. The outdoor patio was perfect even on the slow rain days. Thank you for building a cabin that works so well for a large group.

Worth It
Check-in was okay! We arrived after 4pm and they were still cleaning, but allowed us to unload our stuff. We did have issues with cell phone service, but it was no biggie. Very spacious and held 25 family members. Best part was everyone had their own bathroom in their room! We had a good time with the jacuzzi and fire pit. There were leftover food and tied trash bags in a couple of the rooms. Remotes didn’t work properly due to dead batteries (easy fix). Other than that it was great! I would most definitely pick this cabin again! Check out was simple!

Puff the magic cabin
Cabin was great layout for our large family, plenty of beds and bathrooms. Definetly will stay again. There were a few issues hot water went out and needed maintenance. There was only one towel in several bathrooms, and no dish washing towels. Maintenance did respond quickly and had the hot water issues fixed and when the Keurig quit working quickly had us a new one! Any questions or concerns were answered quickly by the property manager. Overall a great cabin with plenty of room and reasonably priced for the size. Definetly will book again!

Amazing place! Wish fireplace was on year long
Amazing place. Amazing communication. Host had to keep referring back to the manual as he didn’t know all details about the property as in how to turn on outside lights. Host also never mentioned that fire place can not be on after April 1st eve though it was in the 50’s out. That was a big bummer. Wouldn’t have booked this place. But overall, very nice place and worth the money

First class excellence
Every year a group of us (between 15-20 women who graduated high school in 1976) come to Broken Bow for a fall retreat. This is our 8th year. Puff the Magic Cabin surpassed all cabins we have rented in every single detail. The beds were all comfortable, the kitchen was loaded with amenities, TV's in every room, HUGE deck on the back with comfortable seating for all of us. 2 gas fireplaces outside with mounted TV's above, a very nice Fire pit with great chairs (we didn't get to use because of the burn ban) which made the gas fireplaces so much more inviting. A play area for children (even some of us old gals played). Plenty of parking, easy to get to, no noise from other cabins around us.
There is absolutely nothing that I/we could complain about. It was perfect in every way. Thank you for such an inviting cabin.

Spacious Beauty!
We enjoyed Spring Break with two other families at Puff The Magic Cabin. The cabin was spacious and the layout was fantastic for our large group. With bedrooms in separate wings, we were able to spread out and enjoy privacy while the common areas provided plenty of options for gathering together. The open kitchen at the center of the home allowed everyone to socialize together whether eating, watching tv, or cozying up to the fireplace. The bunkbed room was perfect for kid movie night with plenty of space to cozy up.
We loved the HUGE back deck and yard. The kids played on the play set and tunnel each day and we all gathered around the fire pit for coffee in the morning and smores in the evening. The hot tub was easy to use and perfectly located on the deck so we could watch the kids play and supervise the grill master.
The finish-out is lovely - modern yet warm and inviting. Plenty of parking in front of the home and a great wooded location just a short drive from town.

Superb vacation home! Space for everyone!
We just spent six fun filled days at puff the magic cabin and if I could rate it higher I would! It truly was a perfectly set up home for a large group , inside and out. It is arranged so everyone gets privacy away from the bustling hub in the center of the house, being the large open kitchen & living room , if they so choose. The large private bathrooms for almost everyone in our group of twenty really made this such a luxurious stay. No complaints with bedding , super comfy and beautiful large bedrooms with tons of closet space. The kitchen is fully stocked for 26 ppl, silverware, dishes, wine glasses etc…. And did I mention the AC system ? Chefs kiss! Four units kept each side of home upstairs and downstairs perfectly cooled for the hot Oklahoma weekend we had on Labor Day . The bunk room is incredible, well thought out with outlets and reading lights for each bed, and a new large television, also huge bathroom attached. Ideal location , just 10-15min to hochatown and broken bow.

Awesome house, Great Service!!
I booked "Puff the Magic Dragon" for a weekend retreat with a group of adults and children. Not only did the house have sufficient space for the 21 of us, but it was clean and beautifully maintained. Each room feels like a master suite, with incredible beds, luxurious bathrooms, enormous walk in showers, and plenty of space to move around. The bunk room was Sooo much fun for the kiddos. The kitchen is massive and well stocked with pots, pans, and dishes for preparing large meals. The back deck and yard are comfortable and cozy, with enough room for everyone to sit, and the playground kept the children entertained and happy. The game room is lots of fun, and the pool table and basketball game were constantly in use. Everyone was astonished by the size and quality of the numerous tvs. The fireplace took a minute to figure out, but with the help of the provided instructions, it came on and provided a nice ambiance.
Above and beyond all of that, the communication was prompt, and the staff were willing to work with us on a couple timing issues, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
To say the least, we loved it, and will definitely return.

Nice but a few disappointments
We enjoyed our stay w/ 17 adults. The showers are amazing! Very good water pressure. The property was beautiful. We loved the back porch. However there were a few disappointments. Check-in was 4:00 couldn’t get in until 5:00 because cleaning crew was still there. Kitchen not fully stocked ie..cheese grater, measuring cup, can opener. Roof leak in upstairs bedroom. (Property management notified) Propane tank was empty for grill. (Called maintenance they were quick to bring a full one) Fireplaces turned off for season. Furniture was uncomfortable. Beds were so,so. Kleenex would have been nice. One bathroom not clean. The door to the game room bathroom would not stay shut. Sprinkler septic system smelled really bad. Be sure you know exactly how many will be staying we added 3 people at last min and were charged extra and were not at capacity. Would have been nice for a house this big to have extra refrigerator when cooking for such a large group.
