The dining area easily seats 10 people and the large wood deck is fun to sit out on and enjoy the beautiful sunset overlooking the place. The view of our beautiful rural area is one of the most things that our guests love. We strive in making this property very family friendly which our guests always seem to appreciate.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Barnes

Host profile image

This beautiful home was built on the ranch by our parents in 2005. The home definitely represents the hospitality that the Barnes family is humbly proud to offer.

Why they chose this property

This property is close enough to many attractions if northeast Oklahoma, however it is secluded perfectly from the business of even a small town, that you can enjoy a weekend of relaxing, or cooking out after returning from adventures in our area.

What makes this property unique

Being located on a working ranch - the sites, sounds, and goings on of a working ranch can be adventurous in itself. You can easily enjoy a view of a sunrise in the east across a pasture of beautiful horses, and a sunset view in the west overlooking our Brahman cattle on the creek.
