Blue Ridge vs Broken Bow

[Wilson Hunter]

Blue Ridge, GA vs Broken Bow, OK. These STR cabin markets seem similar to me - smaller vacation destinations for nearby drivable major metros. There's a strong emphasis on the "cabin experience" in these markets, in that city folk often come out to hang out in the cabin for a few days and not do a whole lot more. This is different than Pigeon Forge and Branson vibes which have tons of tourist attractions, and many guests use their STR cabin as a "launch pad" for doing touristy things.

So what’s the point of this post? Really I want to hear if others agree with this Broken Bow vs Blue Ridge comp and also pontificate on why prices (both cost of cabin and nightly rates) are way higher in Broken Bow right now. Is perhaps Blue Ridge super up-and-coming, or are there major market differences that will keep Broken Bow as the premium price point over Blue Ridge?
