But so are starting new ones.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Enter: Beavers Bend Christmas.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Make the holiday season a reason for a cozy getaway \u2013 with room to stretch out \u2013 in southeastern Oklahoma. We have the ingredients for feeling all kinds of festive, away from home. With some luxury cabins that can fit as many as 40 people \u2013 and tons of holiday-themed happenings and events \u2013 you\u2019ll still be able to get the family together and celebrate, without sacrificing the holiday vibes you count on. So pack that tinsel, that ugly sweater, and get here already.<\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/visitmccurtaincounty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/MCT_1119_LagoVista_FamTime.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-24963\" height=\"419\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.icgadv.com\/directory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/MCT_1119_LagoVista_FamTime-1024x713-1.jpg\" width=\"601\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><b>The Cabin<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Way better than a crowded hotel room or spare bedroom. Get all those creature comforts you love \u2013\u00a0and some you probably wouldn\u2019t have at home anyway. Like a hot tub overlooking a vast stretch of pines. Or a pool table. Or massive outdoor fire pit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Plus, you can always deck your cabin out in your standard holiday fare \u2013 some garland, some stockings, some twinkling lights \u2013 and you have yourself a festive retreat in the woods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">Need a little privacy? If everyone under one roof isn\u2019t your thing, get a string of cabins for the fam, all in the same area. Many cabin rental agencies offer group booking, so you can ensure that everyone stays close (but maybe not too close). Designate a homebase, and set up there for the big holiday feast and festivities. \u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dev.icgadv.com\/directory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/LagoVista-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-24947\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.icgadv.com\/directory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/LagoVista-2.jpg\" width=\"601\"\/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"inline-button back-blue text-tan\" href=\".\/cabin\">Book Your Cabin<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><b>The Food<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">An important component of any holiday. We know it\u2019s all about the food (minus the cranberry sauce, probably). With cabins that feature giant kitchens and all the tools necessary to cook a great meal, you don\u2019t have to give up Aunt Karen\u2019s traditional green bean casserole or grandma\u2019s pecan pie. Or that turkey (we recommend smoking it outside). Just get everyone \u00a0to pitch in. To make life easier, some cabins even offer the option to arrange for a pre-stocked kitchen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">And, if you\u2019re up to the task \u2013\u00a0you can hunt your own holiday turkey (just be sure to follow <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/visitmccurtaincounty.com\/directory\/turkey-hunting-the-honobia-creek\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">hunting regulations and plan ahead<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">If low-key is more your style, you can order out from one of several restaurants in the area, get a delicious <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/visitmccurtaincounty.com\/directory\/mountain-man-meat-market\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">catering spread<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"> or hire an on-site cook.
