About This Property
Welcome to The Magnolia BE-Hive, a beautifully restored historic gem in the heart of Durant. Whether you’re here to win big at Choctaw Casino (only 3 miles away), visiting family at Southeastern Oklahoma State University, or looking for a professional "home base" for your team, our hive is designed for comfort and connection.
As experienced hosts, we’ve curated a space that blends the soul of a 1920s home with modern luxuries. You’ll love the sun-drenched rooms, our signature plant wall for group photos, and a backyard designed for long Oklahoma evenings under the string lights.
THE SPACE Our home is optimized for both relaxation and productivity:
Sleeping Arrangements: A King Master suite, a cozy second bedroom with memory foam mattresses, and a massive 500 sq. ft. loft that serves as a third sleeping area/second living room.
Chef’s Kitchen: Fully equipped with a 5-burner gas stove, air fryer, and a "Dual Coffee Station" (Drip + Keurig).
Outdoor Living: Fully fenced backyard with a fire pit, BBQ grill, and games.
Business Ready: Ultra-high-speed Wi-Fi, a dedicated workspace, and a long driveway for multiple vehicles.
ROOMS & AMENITIES:

It’s a favorite for kids and teams alike, featuring a 55" Smart Fire TV, a library of board games, and a loveseat that converts to a twin bed. Note: We provide extra fans to keep this sunny space comfortable year-round.

It is a 2 bedroom with a loft (not a 3 BR) but was very accommodating and the hosts were communicative and extremely understanding of concerns!
The house is simply adorable
Very quaint neighborhood and conveniently close to choctaw, making it very pleasant to stay off properly without breaking the bank! Checking in and out was a breeze! Would glaldly rebook in the event they are available our next trip!
Needed a place to stay for a concert at Choctaw, place was great. Clean and quiet, will rebook in the future if available. Only a 10 minute ride to casino.
