Set back from main roads on a secluded, 4.8-acre lot, this cozy cabin is perfect for a romantic weekend getaway for an extended trip with family or friends. No need to worry about noisy neighbors or sitting in traffic here; disconnect and recharge with great fishing and hunting, beautiful hiking, and exciting kayaking just minutes from your door. Welcome to your Oklahoma home away from home.
We were searching for an outdoorsy escape that was dog-friendly and within driving distance of Dallas, and the Legacy Trails community was exactly what we were looking for. We hope you treasure your time here as much as we do.
The 1071-square foot cabin is one of five in a private, 35-acre enclave just one mile southwest of Smithville. Sunset Ridge is the newest one at Legacy Trails, having just opened in 2018. With gated access and exclusive use of Landing on Mountain Fork River (great fly fishing spot), we think this is the best vacation rental community in the Broken Bow Lake area. The river is about 1/3 of a mile from Sunset Ridge, all within Legacy Trails.
Sunset Ridge can comfortably sleep up to six guests (children welcomed!). The two bedrooms contain queen-size beds, rustic artwork, and ample storage space. After a refreshing day on the water or in the woods, take it easy by flipping through the 150+ DirecTV channels or curling up by the fireplace with a good book.
Sharing a meal with loved ones is a breeze at Sunset Ridge, with place settings for 6 and a fully-stocked kitchen. And a trip to the wilderness must include an evening around the fire pit in the backyard, roasting marshmallows, and gazing up at the stars. You’ll have it all here at Sunset Ridge.

There are two types of people in this world: pizza lovers and people who just haven't had good pizza yet. Grateful Head fires up the best pies in the area, like the Hawaiian-inspired Maui Waui and the Big Frank - a meat lover’s dream. They may also have the most creative pizza names we’ve ever seen. To really get your appetite going, start off with some garlicky, cheese-stuffed breadsticks. Bonus points for their dog-friendly patio.
Rolling Fork Takery - 30-mile drive
What exactly is a “takery,” you ask? In one of the more genius ideas to come to the restaurant industry, Rolling Fork specializes in take-out, but not your average burgers and fries-style take-out. Think homestyle appetizers, fresh salads, gourmet tacos, and hearty sandwiches, all made with high-quality ingredients and perfect for eating in the comfort of your scenic Sunset Ridge backyard. Although, if you prefer to eat there, Rolling Fork does have a lovely (heated!), dog-friendly porch.

An experience worth driving across the Arkansas border. For burgers, brisket, fries, and malts with a side of old-school nostalgia, Lighthouse Drive-In is the perfect crowd-pleaser.
