Amazing Stay

I can’t begin to express what a wonderful pleasure our stay was. From the beautiful setting, to the ample room, only eclipsed by the amazing hospitality this is a property I’d recommend highly to someone looking to get away while still being minutes from convenient options.

Great for float trips

We had an amazing time at this little property in the outside of tahlequah! Though we had some issues with the hot water, the host was able to assist us and communicated efficiently. This is a beautiful property!

Exactly what we needed!

The property was amazing. We had 7 people and it never felt crowded. The beds were so comfortable, we slept great. And the enclosed patio was perfect for dinner and games! Plus the location is gorgeous and close to everything we needed. We forgot some things and Doordash saved us within 30 minutes (twice, once at 10pm), and we were 5 minutes away from All American Floats. All we can think of improvement wise is adding more trash bags, dishwasher pods for multiple nights stays, and steak knives. We will definitely be returning!

Wonderful vacation place.

The property and decor was magazine worthy . Great for a family trip. Everyone really enjoyed our stay, beds were wonderful. Would have liked a gas grill instead of charcoal and a fire pit would make this rental hard to beat! We may go back in the fall.
