Jeeping times

This property was excellent. After a full day of Jeeping trails, we were able to come back and relax and discuss our day at the large dining table. The view the next day was just as beautiful as our Jeeping trails.

Idyllic Getaway

Candice communicated promptly with us to let us know how to find the property (which is a bit off the beaten path), how we could reach her, and how we would check in. Right before our original trip date, my whole family got sick with a stomach bug, and Candice helped us reschedule through Vrbo. Thanks to her flexibility and help, we were able to stay and have a wonderful time just a couple of weeks later. The property itself is absolutely gorgeous and well-kept. They thoughtfully provided us with fresh firewood and stocked the kitchen with coffee (genius!). We also had a delicious meal in Heavener on the way out. We will absolutely be returning for another vacation very soon—hopefully for a longer stay!

Absolutely perfect for our weekend getaway. My brother and sister-in-law and my sister joined us. We loved the location and privacy of the house. Took several walks and hung out inside and outside enjoying the beauty. Planning on booking again! Thank you!!

Secluded Cabin in the woods

The house and property were great in every way, clean, spacious, huge dining room table, sitting areas on back porch and fire pit sitting area on front porch. The cabin sits off the road and is private and secluded. Our group rides UTVs a lot in the CNT trails/Billy Creek area. This was the first time we stayed a little farther away but we were able to make our way over to Billy Creek, up Talimena Drive and back. Next time we hope to find new trails around this cabin. The property manager sent great instructions on check-in/check-out process. Would definitely stay here again.

Great getaway cabin!

Close to Talimena Hwy 1. Secluded and fully stocked! Motorcycle friendly -- firmly packed dirt /gravel driveway, but nothing too scary. Will certainly rent again.

Wonderful Stay!

We had an amazing week long visit at this rental! Our family enjoyed endless hiking adventures, listening to the wind through the pine trees and nearby stream, campfires, fishing, corn hole (provided by the owners). The cabin was beautifully decorated and was fully stocked with all the essentials. Candice was quick to respond to any questions we had. Wonderful time had by all and can't wait to come back soon!

Better than listing

A beautiful cabin in a beautiful setting. It was immaculate and kitchen was very well stocked. The bed was very comfortable. We went for the fall foliage but the trees had not changed. Guess we’ll plan for later next time.

this listing doesn't even do this place justice!

This cabin is stocked an equipped as if it was done for their own family. You could've baked eight pies, made an entire holiday dinner and still had cookware and appliances for the kids to bake cookies! I see a few holidays with the grands in our future here. The towels and sheets and pillows are exactly what we would have chosen for our own home, and they even had hairspray available which was great since i left mine! Billie and his FIL were exceptionally helpful, and even made a special trip to ensure we felt as comfortable as possible taking time out of their evening to come attend an issue for us.... just in case! They were friendly and offered some insight to the area as well, from hunting, fishing and exploring to some real estate information when our realtor fell thru. We will so be making another trip!!

Peaceful & Relaxing

The host was very accommodating! She kept me informed about dates, animals & even where to go if the weather turned severe...never had that info given before with any cabin rental over the years. Kitchen is well stocked with the basics and there were more than enough bath linens, which was great for six people. Pictures do not even begin to show the beauty of this cabin & its surroundings! So peaceful & relaxing, day & night! I definitely recommend this wonderful cabin & hope to stay there again.
