About this property
Cozy Garden Cabin patio, pool, pets just two blocks to the lake and fishing dock
The Shady Rest is a cute, cozy and comfortable garden cabin secluded from the rush of life. Located down Texanna in Sandy Bass Bay 3 (Jane's Jungle), this house is a close walk or golf cart ride to Lake Eufaula, Oklahoma beaches. We are within a mile of two launch ramps, and not far from Belle Starr Marina or Porum Marina and launch ramps. The other side of hwy 69 is Lake Eufaula State Park with many types of recreation including horseback riding and golf. Guests with kids enjoy Jelly Stone Park located at the town of Eufaula by the marina. This is a guest house that has its own patio and is located next to The Big Sandy Lodge that is our home.
There is a large grassy tree lined front yard with plenty of parking for guests and toys. The Shady Rest downstairs has dining area, kitchen, full bathroom with combination bathtub and shower. The living room has a double French door to the patio. Sofa day-beds are two twin beds one with storage and one a twin trundle bed. Upstairs has area with a twin bunk bed and closet on one side and a queen bed on the other.
The French doors open onto a pet friendly patio. Just through the next gate and up the steps behind our home is the deck with conversation seating, hot tub and pool that is open for the summer. Please follow the pool and safety requirements and enjoy. Just a short walk to the lake for fishing or boating. There is boat parking with electricity, a fish cleaning station and minnow barrel for those here for pleasure fishing or tournaments. Contact us when you make your reservation if you need information about boat launching, fishing, docking and boat parking.
The location 421464 Big Sandy Drive (1165 Rd), Eufaula OK 74432. When you enter the address on your phone, select the "Big Sandy Lodge and Shady Rest" popup. Exit the 69 fwy going south on Texanna. Drive 5.1 miles to turn right onto 422 (0). If you see a sign for Lindsey Chapel or Sandpiper Cove, you have gone too far down Texanna.
Travel past Push Hill to a right-hand curve onto 1170. Continue to the next intersection and turn right towards Sandy Bass Bay 3. The 3rd road turn right onto 1165 Rd, aka Big Sandy Drive. Please continue down 1165 to the last house on the right.

About the host
Hosted by Glen and Kerry Elliott
We are Glen and Kerry Elliott and live here with our friend, Laura Brown. We moved to The Big Sandy Lodge in beautiful Oklahoma to enjoy our retirement years. Big Sandy Lodge is our home with our friendly golden retrievers and a couple cats and chickens too. Pets are not only welcome but encouraged. If you have dogs, we will keep the chickens in the coop. The Shady Rest is our guest house next door to our main house and is a very cozy place to enjoy a cup of coffee, have a Bar-B-Q, or start your own fun.
Why they chose this property
It's green and beautiful and close to the lake. We have boat parking in our large front yard and are close to several launch ramps and Belle Starr Marina. Our private boat slip is just a short walk or golf cart ride away for fishing or swimming. Please do not board any boats without permission.
What makes this property unique
Behind the house is your own private patio, aquaponic pond, and beautiful outdoor scenery for your enjoyment. The decks, front yard pool, hot tub and fire pit are available for your use and play. Please enjoy the hot tub and seasonal pool on the back deck of our Big Sandy Lodge. Or, have a Bar-B-Que on the front deck and a fire in the front yard fire pit or your patio chimenea. Take the golf cart to the lake or the dock to enjoy fishing for Crappie or Catfish.
