"The host was responsive communicate clearly and the house was very well thought out one of my favorite stays down here at Broken Bow I will be back. And honestly my favorite part was the checkout they gave us a hotel like stay no lengthy cleanup instructions just take out the trash."
Why The Aroha
Less a rental, more a private resort hidden in the woods.
Set on 4.5 completely private wooded acres, The Aroha is a New Zealand-inspired retreat with a heated pool, a hot tub, and room for up to 12 — the kind of place guests describe as their own private resort tucked away in the trees.
Three king suites with private deck access and a bunk room the kids claim open onto soaring ceilings, a gourmet kitchen, and a game room with a pool table, arcade games, and a wet bar.
Outside is where it pulls away from everything else in Broken Bow: a heated pool ringed by hardwoods, fire pits, pond-side swings, and a custom playground — backed by a whole-home generator so the stay is never interrupted. It’s one of only three Broken Bow cabins with private pools in the collection.

Guest Reviews
"This property is tranquil and modern. It worked perfectly for our bachelor trip, and those of us who’re already married with children agreed it’d be perfect for our families as well. The host is prompt and accurate with responses and made the process from booking to checkout seamless. The WiFi was spotty, but who wants to be on their phone or laptop when you go on vacation anyways? After bringing the WiFi concern to the host, his insight helped improve the situation and was within a couple of minutes. Would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking to bring their group out for some R&R."
"We absolutely loved the place. We enjoyed the privacy and surrounding area. It definitely exceeded our expectations. Eric was very responsive during our stay and we look forward to visiting Broken Bow again."
"Very private location. Beautifully appointed both inside and out with lots of amenities such as a pool, playset, porch swings, fire pit, games, etc. Our family enjoyed our time and there was plenty of room for each family for privacy. We loved that each master suite had its own balcony and bathroom."
"We booked this spot for a cousins' getaway (a group of 6), and absolutely everyone in our group fell in love with the place! The architecture is stunning, perfectly blending the high-end feel of a luxury hotel with the comfort of a private retreat. The absolute best part was how connected to the surroundings we felt the entire time. Whether we were relaxing inside, sipping drinks on one of the many gorgeous decks and balconies, or hanging out in the incredible pool, it felt like we were immersed right in the middle of nature. It was an unforgettable stay, and we would book this again in a heartbeat!"
"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 Absolutely amazing stay! 💯 This cabin exceeded every expectation we had. The three-story layout was spacious, beautiful, and incredibly comfortable. The secluded location provided the perfect mix of privacy, relaxation, and breathtaking views. 🙌🏼 What truly made this cabin unique was the New Zealand theme throughout the property. The photography books, artwork, and décor were stunning and added such a special touch to the experience. We found ourselves admiring the beautiful images and details throughout our stay.🇳🇿❤️ We especially enjoyed the pool, hot tub, soaking tub, and peaceful sunrise views. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed🌄😎♨️☀️ We came to celebrate our 26th anniversary and left feeling completely refreshed and relaxed. We feel like we’ve been to New Zealand and back!

"Where do I start?!?!?! This house is phenomenal and breathtaking!!! Everything you need the house had it! I'm an over packer but I didnt use anything I brought because the house had everything we needed and more!! I felt like the owner and I were a carbon copy of each other...we had very similar taste and style so I felt like we were home but more elevated!! This trip meant alot to our family so this place will forever hold a special place in our hearts ♥️♥️♥️"
"This was my first time visiting Broken Bow, and I was amazed! You would think staying so deep in the woods would mean sacrificing comfort, but that wasn't the case at all. The cabin was beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The host was responsive and made the entire experience seamless from check-in to check-out. We had an incredible time and created so many great memories. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat in Broken Bow!"
"We had a great time, the brand new pool came out quite nice and Eric was very responsive to anything we needed while we stayed! There was an issue with the internet outside of the hosts control, but Eric gave us multiple options to make it right, which was great. We would definitely consider coming back if we're ever in the area again!"
