Weekend stay

This was a good, simple cabin that met the needs of our family (and dogs) for a weekend. The location is great, tucked away from the road, incredibly quiet and relaxing. The kitchen and appliances were functional. We appreciated having what we needed, but supplies like paper towels and basic cleaning items would have been helpful. The bathroom setup (only one and accessed through the primary bedroom) was a bit awkward, but it worked fine for our group. Overall the cabin was tidy and we enjoyed our stay.

Great weekend getaway

The cabin was just described with lots of privacy. There were many extra special touches such as the hammock, sky saucer for the kids, grill, patio area, smores, commercial grade waffle maker, and corn to feed the deer. We did not actually see the deer but we heard them eating at night. One bathroom was awkward but we made it just fine. Lots of pillows and blankets for extra comfort. We would recommend this cabin to anyone.

Million Dreams

We absolutely loved the place! It was cute, clean and secluded. The property owner was very courteous, attentive to our needs and respectful of our privacy. It was amazing to watch deer eat in the front yard and the family loved going to the Natural Fall state park to see the waterfalls. Can’t wait to go back and try another of Arthur’s cabins. OK

This cabin was an absolute haven for us

We were near the end of a long and arduous process of selling our home in TX and buying a new home in OK. We needed a place to stay for 2 weeks and thankfully found this cabin. The cabin itself is gorgeous and the surroundings so beautiful and peaceful. The stress melted away and our family was rejuvenated. Our pets absolutely loved the cabin too.Arthur kept in communication with us to make sure that we were doing well and had everything we needed. He even let us know when a tornado watch had been issued for the area (thankfully, no tornadoes spotted).Even though we now live close by, my husband and I have discussed coming back to the cabin again sometime, just because it’s such a haven.Oh, and the beds were very comfortable as well..

Peaceful and relaxing

We wanted a weekend getaway so we could spend time together away from the hustle & bustle of life. The location was ideal for kayaking on the river and evenings spent together around the fire pit. Saw lots of deer in the yard and enjoyed the sounds of nature. House is clean and well furnished. Hosts communicated with us and offered to remedy any issues we may have had. Highly recommend this location!

Perfect relaxing getaway!

This was the most relaxing place! Everything was easy and I am now dreaming of building my own cabin in the woods. No bathroom upstairs/only bathroom in master was a little inconvenient, but everything else more than made up for it. I am sure we’ll be back!
