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.

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!
