In a world flooded with pings, emails, and screen time, sometimes the most refreshing thing you can do is step away from it all. Broken Bow offers an ideal setting for a true digital detox, where forest trails replace newsfeeds and starry skies take the place of notifications.
Morning: Breathe Deep in Beavers Bend State Park
Start your day on the trails at Beavers Bend State Park, just a short drive from Hochatown. Popular hikes like Skyline Trail or Friends Trail Loop guide you through scenic pine forests, over small creeks, and up to peaceful overlooks. Here, you’re free to walk at your own pace without checking your phone every few minutes.
Afternoon: Stillness by the River
Settle down by the Mountain Fork River with a book or journal, or just watch the water flow. Take a slow walk along the bank or bring a small picnic for a nature-immersed lunch. Try forest bathing—an intentional practice of being still in the woods, tuning into each sense and letting the calm settle over you.
Evening: Fireside Quiet and Stars Above
At sunset, light a fire and lean into the silence. Instead of scrolling, listen to crackling logs, enjoy a warm drink, or stargaze from your private deck. This is your time to simply be.
Where to Stay: Disco Cowboy
Disco Cowboy is your peaceful base for unplugging. Nestled among trees and styled with warmth and comfort in mind, the cabin offers a Wi-Fi-optional experience. Spend time in the hot tub, lounge by the fireplace, or play board games under soft lighting. You’ll find it’s the perfect mix of rustic calm and cozy charm.
A weekend without screens can reset your focus, soothe your nerves, and help you feel truly present. Broken Bow makes digital detoxing feel like a luxury, and Disco Cowboy is the ideal place to begin.
