About this property

Life on the Lake!

Come stay at the Nest - a unique cabin designed to make you feel like you are part of nature. Shaped like a bird tending her nest, the 3-bedroom gem offers tranquility and relaxation for a weekend or longer.
Bring your water toys! Lake Hudson is one of the top Bass fishing lakes in Oklahoma (shhh! keep it a secret) as well as great for boating and jet skiing. House has lake access with boat launch a short distance away. There is even a private dock located at the cabin. This cabin offers a cozy retreat with a dedicated queen sized bedroom downstairs. Upstairs in the loft there are 2 twin beds and 1 full bed separated by a pony wall for semi-private sleeping. The living room has a comfy sofa bed for extra guests. Work a puzzle, play a game or snuggle up and read a book in the book nook. Our place is equipped for both long or short stays to make your holiday one to remember. You can relax on the back porch, grill up a steak and enjoy the sunset!

Pets are welcome - we have a dog run on the property. Please note - there is a $50 pet fee. Please make sure you check the box when making your reservation so the fee is added.
Cabin is handicapped accessible on the 1st floor - ramp accessible front door.

Very hot outside but the place was cool. Would have preferred covered parking. Host was very cordial and made sure we had everything. Lake access is limited but a short drive will put you on the water. We could see the lake. Nice neighbors we met and we elected to eat in town. Decent restaurants close by.

The house was clean and comfortable and is in a quiet neighborhood. There is ample parking for a truck and boat trailer. The house is well-stocked with nice cookware and dishes/silverware if you want to cook. It even has a dishwasher for easy cleanup. The shower has great water pressure and is a nice size. The back porch has a couple of Adirondack chairs to enjoy your morning coffee or hang out in the evening. We did not use the upstairs but it would be great for older children or teens since it is accessed by a ladder and has mattresses on the floor. This is a charming little place to stay!

Property was even nicer in person than in the pictures. The host was very quick and responsive. We were in town for my son’s wedding at Lake View Hills and it was an easy drive from this house to the venue.

My brother and I had a great stay. We were on the go everyday so we were only at the house for a few hours every morning. The house was very clean and very comfortable. Everything functioned well in the house and I can't think of a single thing that didn't work right. The house was very close to the beautiful Lake Hudson. We drove over the bridge everyday and it was quite the picturesque setting!

Property was great and accommodating. Stairs to upstairs was a bit of surprise due to how steep, but we made work just fine. There was no shampoo or soap in the shower dispenser.

I'm glad you enjoyed your stay! So sorry that you didn't find the shampoo/soap. There is a basket in the bathroom that has multiple individual bottle selections for your use. I will make sure the basket is more prominent in the future! Since this is a Tiny House , the loft ladder is steep. There is a rail for support and hopefully the photos on the website give a good idea of how you access the loft area. Thanks for your input - we are always up for improvement!

The host was easy to reach and accommodating. The house is well laid out, has a view from a nice back porch, easy to reach, and extremely comfortable. The loft is reached via a ladder/staircase that would challenge the older/younger. I’m a very fit 69 year old and stayed up there with my gkids every night. Night time potty runs required care. LOVED our stay there. Thanks Dana.

I’d love to know the reason for only 3 stars. The communication I received was “I’m completely enjoying myself. Thank you! The house is perfect!” If there was a problem I wish I’d been told about it.
