Beautiful place! This house offers so much for friends and family gatherings. We didn’t have any kids with us, but there were activities for all ages. Within the homestead, there’s board games, a video arcade game, inside basketball toss, hot tub, climbing wall, firepit and swings. We loved having the forest around us but yet close to the highway that we didn’t get lost trying to find our way out. It was within walking distance to the Candy store, gift shop, and a BBQ place. The host was great? We had difficulties with the coffee pot and they had a new one sent over within the hour. This is a must stay at place! I can’t say enough good things about it. We had a fabulous time on our Girls’ Trip!

Beautiful cabin! So big and spacious! The outdoor space is awesome. We spent a lot of time in the evenings just hanging out on the back deck, watching TV. My kids loved it (being across from a candy store was a BIG plus for them ). Hosts were super responsive thru text. Everything we needed was there. Super close to Hotchatown. Right off the main road, I liked not having to drive down gravel. Was able to have groceries delivered from Idabel Walmart, which was also nice.

Overall we had a great stay. I prefer a cabin that sits further back from the road, but I was aware of the location prior to booking and it wasn't too bad. They provided a noise machine, while not necessary as noise level wasn't bad, it was still appreciated. Fans are powerful. Beds are comfy. Disappointed in the couch...not very comfy to pile up on as a family to watch movies. There were a few minor issues we encountered. The owner was responsive to messages and it was nothing too important that would make me dock it a star. The kids loved walking over to the candy store. Overall, it was a nice stay. Thank you!

Thank you for the 5-star review! Glad Joyful Pines met your expectations — and that the location was as expected, the noise machine was helpful, and the fans and beds were comfortable. Sorry the couch wasn’t ideal; we’ll pass that feedback along. Happy the kids enjoyed the candy store and that our responsiveness helped. We appreciate you choosing Treeline Vacation Rentals and hope to host you again.

This place was awesome, lots of space outside with different activities around the house, big furnished kitchen, very clean, tvs everywhere, and a hot tub that actually gets hot! If I had a complaint it would be that the “cool” couch is not made for sitting, it’s hard as a rock, but we spent most of our trip outside. Would definitely book again next year!!!

Let’s start by saying wow! We came to visit during June and it rained and loved it brought out the beautiful windows and cabin vibes. We loved the layout of the cabin everything being spaced out. The rooms were amazing and a vibe. We really enjoyed the kids room with its private patio.! The bathrooms all were amazing and really thought through.! The fire pit area was amazing and the outside lights at night with the rain was an amazing sight! I try and book my family and I a broken bow trip every year for whatever occasion. And loved how close we were to so many activities, casino (5 min. away), and more just a short drive away. And it is a corner cabin which wasn’t too bad you don’t really hear traffic and it does have its own area. Absolutely will be coming back. Also does have an area with a bed my niece sat in there and just read her book was relaxing she said. The climbing course and rope course was definitely a hit for my niece. thank you again for this awesome experience.

Thank you for the 5-star review! Glad Joyful Pines delivered the cabin vibes—even in the rain—and that you enjoyed the layout, private kids’ patio, thoughtful bathrooms, and the fire pit with the nighttime lights. It’s great the corner location was peaceful, the nearby activities (and casino) were convenient, and the climbing/rope course and cozy reading nook were hits. We appreciate you choosing Treeline Vacation Rentals and look forward to hosting your family again.

Perfect for families!

Joyful Pines is the perfect stay for families! The location was great! It was clean and comfortable. The cabin was well equipped with entertainment, and we definitely enjoyed the hot tub. Having a candy store across the street was great! The kids are already asking to go back!

Perfect Getaway

Enjoyed our 4 night stay at Joyful Pines. Cabin was nicely appointed, and we appreciated the added touches of having some coffee, sugar, dishwashing pods, and laundry pods already provided. The layout is great, and we loved that the deck was fenced in with a little dog pad on the side, so the dog could go out without having to worry about him running off. It is close to all the activities in Hochatown, but just enough North to stay out of traffic during busy weeks. We would be happy to stay at Joyful Pines again.

Great Home Away from Home

There were 6 of us, this home is laid out perfectly for the number of people we had, two master suites and an upstairs room that was perfect for teens. The kitchen and bathrooms were well equipped, I didn’t need anything I couldn’t find. Take some clothes and your food and you’re set. The outdoor amenities were wonderful, hot tub, games, a fire pit and more. Be sure to take advantage of this beautiful facility.

Cabin was absolutely perfect for little family! The game room was wonderful surprise with lots of games and a large bathroom, my husband had just as much fun as the kids lol.. well stocked with everything you could need and a large deck outside with a gate by the steps that totally helped with our one year old, He was able to lots of fun running around with out worry of him going down the steps.. Trust me you will not be disappointed. We will definitely be back!

Great experience!

My family of 5 that includes 3 boys (13, 9, and 7) went to this cabin, along with Mom and Aunt that are in their 70's. We all had a WONDERFUL time! The cabin was beautiful and had so many windows. We roasted hot dogs and made smores at the huge firepit. The hot tub was great to hop into every night. We played cornhole and the boys never were bored because there was so much they could do. The cabin feels private but it's also close to everything which was nice. Highly recommend this cabin!

Lots of room …loved the layout. Upstairs was perfect for our kids loved all the activities. Hot tub was clean & worked awesome. The fire pit was nice with lots of seating. The master room air conditioner was not working properly. It never really cooled down. We called maintenance .. he came over but fixed nothing.The spare room light fixture was falling from the ceiling… we also never got the main ceiling fan to work. The light nor the fan ever turned on. The ceiling fan remote .. we tried new batteries but, no. Problematic as we need a fan while sleeping. We requested maintenance. She was very sweet but the maintenance man she called never corrected the issues.This place could use a deep cleaning, cob webs dirt on things. Windows dirty. Power spraying in front entry would be helpful….not a good first impression. The bathrooms were clean. However, this property showed its age. Maybe upgrade toilets they were old & dingy for the price we paid. Also, may leave extra toilet paper we had to go buy toilet paper. That was frustrating especially for the cost of this property. No remote to get the Tv over the hot tub to work. Would have been great to watch the Wirld cup match from out there.

The rooms were presentable but we found that the throw rugs needed to be cleaned. And we wiped down everything when we arrived and the cloths were dirty after wiping. So it seemes it was visually cleaned but not thoroughly cleaned. But the house was very beautiful and spacious. We enjoyed the outdoors and the hot tub. The location of the house was in decent driving distance to all the activities we participated in.
