About this property

Iron Door Cabin at The Lazy Buffalo Wichita Mountains Cache Lawton Fort Sill

The Iron Door Cabin is a tribute to a fabled treasure buried high in a cave in the Wichita Mountains. Belle Starr and her gang were said to have hidden a vast amounts of gold in a cave and covered the opening with an iron door from a railroad car. Sightings of the door stretch back over a hundred years. Will you find these legendary riches?

Nestled at the foothills of the Wichita Mountains, The Lazy Buffalo has 13 individually themed cabins and a Bunkhouse. Each is uniquely decorated to capture the essence of the Wichita Mountains and the history of our hometown.

Many say that The Lazy Buffalo resembles an Old West Town. Our Cabins are similar to a classic motel layout. There are charming touches throughout the property along with modern offerings such as Wi-fi, Netflix, and the convenience of self check in.

The Iron Door Cabin has a spacious king size bed with a walk-in tiled shower. Barn wood, knotty pine, and corrugated tin are used throughout this spacious cabin. Dark stained concrete floors and tin ceilings really add a rustic yet elegant vibe. The kitchenette area has a mini fridge, microwave, k cup coffee maker, along with table and chairs. There is also a comfy loveseat.

During your stay, enjoy complimentary Netflix and Wi-Fi or unplug and take in the beauty of our area. Watch as the sunsets over the plains from the long covered front porch while lounging in the wooden rockers. Southwest Oklahoma sunsets are truly worth witnessing.

Sip on a cup of coffee to get your morning started right and end your adventurous day gathered at the covered picnic area while enjoying smells from the charcoal grill. Yummy marshmallow goodness at the fire pit is a memorable way to cap off the evening or choose to relax under the stars in the back of our vintage star gazing truck, located just a short walk from the cabin.

Both kids and adults will love tossing horseshoes and playing old fashion games. Toss Frisbees at the disc golf stations, drop giant checkers to make a Connect 4, create music at our interactive music wall, or team up for some volleyball action. We are always adding new outdoor activities. Don't forget to snap some memories at The Lazy Buffalo photo ops.

Great place to stay

We really enjoyed our stay at The Lazy Buffalo. It made you feel like at home and had all the amenities plus a few extra that you may need. It is very close to the Wichita Wildlife Refuge which you should not miss! It’s far enough from business but close enough to where you may want to go.

2nd Anniversary

My husband and I stayed at the Lazy Buffalo for our 2nd Anniversary. It was very clean and a unique place to stay. We stayed in the Iron Door Cabin and it has a unique story. Only 15 minutes from the Wichita Mountains and about 45 minutes from Chickasha. We saw the sunset on Mt Scott and the Festival of Lights in Chickasha.

3rd stay

This was the first place my significant other and I stayed nearly a year ago now after I was stationed at Sill, even now it feels so cozy and welcoming. The location is amazing, and actual property is great with amazing maintenance and lots to do including some games. If you want to make memories you need to stay here at least once.

Good Location

The cabin is in a good location close to the Wichita Mountains and the city of Lawton. The host was responsive, but check-in instructions was given when the cabin was ready. Lots of room, comfy king size bed, and welcome snacks provided. Great for families, as there are games. Clean, but towels may need a little refresh. Overall good for the location.

We loved all the outdoor activities on the property. Very well thought out and everything provided to enjoy it. Julie was very responsive when we had a problem. The hail storm that night was scary with the metal roof but our cars were not damaged.

Fun getaway

We fell in love with this little place. It’s conveniently located. The owners were great and helpful. We will definitely be back. The one and only tiny complaint, they only had Netflix and no local channels. However I’m not there to watch tv (unless going to bed to relax) so I wasn’t very bothered by it. Can’t wait to go back!!

Lovely Stay

We loved everything about the Lazy Buffalo! It was exactly what we were looking for to celebrate our anniversary. The iron door cabin was perfect for the two of us. We really appreciated the complimentary snacks and drinks and especially the extra goodies that were left for us, for our anniversary. The Lazy Buffalo is such a quaint and peaceful place and in such a beautiful area. We will definitely be going back.

About the host

Hosted by Julie Logue

Host profile image
We have lived in Southwest Oklahoma for over 60 years and love our hometown of Cache. The Wichita Mountains are right in our backyard, and we get to enjoy their beauty every day.

In 2019, The Lazy Buffalo opened with 5 vacation rental Cabins. These Cabins were designed to capture the essence of the Wichita Mountains and the history of our hometown. In 2021, the Venue with Bunkhouse opened, and we carried over the same western vibe when designing the 2400 square foot space. Throughout 2022 and 2023, we opened 6 more Cabins and in late 2023 our first set of pet friendly Cabins opened.

Conveniently connected by sidewalks, it's just a short stroll being the bunkhouse, our Cabins, and 24 hour guest laundry. All together, we can accommodate up to 49 guests among the 13 Cabins and Bunkhouse.

We are blessed to be family owned and managed. Our favorite thing about hosting is seeing multi-generation Families gathered around sharing quality time together. Should you need anything, our home is only 2 blocks from the Cabins. We hope you make wonderful memories while being our guest at The Lazy Buffalo.

Why they chose this property

Southwest Oklahoma is rich with History and offers endless things to do and discover.
