Our Success Story
Hi! My name is Karen Wheeler founder of Broken Bow Cabin Lodging. I’d like to share the history of our company. This is my journey to become an Innkeeper.
January 2006 our website went live for the first time. Over the years we’ve experienced much growth and many changes. BBCL began with 3 cabins therefore I was involved in every aspect of the cabin business. Reservations, billing, accounting, phones, guest services, cleaning and even maintenance! Additionally I was involved with drawing plans, cabin design and setting up cabins for rental. Needless to say, many hours were spent learning the cabin management business. A lot of trials, a lot of errors, all of which led to a lot of growth and knowledge of cabin property management.
In 2008 the company grew to a point I needed help. Office staff was employed and office space was rented. The company continued to grow. May of 2010 we moved into our newly built office building in Hochatown. Also at that time we invested in an advanced accounting and reservation system. We couldn’t keep up with excel spreadsheets. This was a major transition for BBCL.
Rusty Joins the Team!
At this point Rusty “officially” joined the team. Having graduated from OSU in 2003 with a degree in Public Relations and a minor in Marketing, he moved to Charlotte, NC. Fortunately, after the company was founded, he was able to work from Charlotte assisting me with accounting, reports, reservations etc. Then slowly he began to spend more time in Hochatown learning the business of Broken Bow Cabin Lodging. Finally he gave in and realized BBCL was his destiny. Rusty took over operations December of 2015. Since that time, as a result of his innovative visions, the company size has doubled.
In 2018 we bought a much larger office to accommodate the growth of the last three years and to allow for future growth. Not only do we have a much larger office building, we now have a 2400 sq. ft. laundry facility. All this is so we can provide the maximum service to our owners and guests. As history repeats itself, we also upgraded our accounting and reservation system to a more advanced system and call center. It was hard for me to relinquish the reigns, but it’s the best thing I’ve done! Broken Bow Cabin Lodging now has youthful energy and experienced wisdom!
