About this property

1 mile to Fort Sill! The CaroleBelle Cottage sleeps 8 with hottub/grills/firepit

Welcome to the Carole-Belle Cottage. This charming historic home, situated halfway between Fort Sill and Downtown Lawton, was built in 1937 and retains all the charm while boasting updates that will satisfy the most discerning guests.

With three large bedrooms and two full bathrooms, the home is perfect for families or small groups of friends on vacation. In addition, the backyard is set up for outdoor living including an 8 person hot tub, a fire pit, and grills..

I am so pleased to be able to offer you this lovely home for your stay in Lawton, Oklahoma.

The home is situated in right on Fort Sill Blvd in Old Town North which is halfway between downtown Lawton and Fort Sill Army base approx 1.2 miles from the gate onto Ft Sill via Ft Sill Blvd and the Scott Gate. Other gates are also easily and quickly accessed. The home is less than a mile from Interstate 44.

There is off-street parking in the driveway and secured entrances with access via a keypad. The home is well lit at night and there are security cameras all around for guest safety.

The kitchen is modern and includes stainless steel appliances and a gas range. The dining room table and breakfast bar easily seat eight people. there is comfortable seating for 10 people in the living room where there is also a large screen TV and a remote control gas fireplace.

The master bedroom has its own bathroom and an adjustable bed as well as a flat screen TV. The middle bedroom also has a queen size bed and a flat screen TV.
The Murphy bedroom has a queen-size Murphy bed and a flat screen TV also.
The Murphy bedroom opens into the sunroom where there are two single beds.

in the backyard, you will enjoy an 8 person hot tub, a large fire pit with seating, a picnic table area and grilling area.

We need to talk about one thing: the two full bathrooms were definitely built to accommodate the averaged size person in 1937.
This means that, unfortunately, not everyone would be comfortable in the bathrooms and some people would not fit in the toilet areas at all. So, as much as we admire sumo wrestlers and football linemen, it is probably best if you stay in one of my other Vacation houses!

Do not under any circumstances allow minor children in the backyard unaccompanied. Do not under any circumstance allow minor children to play in or around the hot tub, fire pit, or other landscaping. You’re 100% responsible for any damage done by anyone in your group.
All adults must sign house rules/TOS prior to check-in to confirm they agree to the home rules and safety practices. This is done online and must be completed within 24 hours of booking.

Please look through the photos! Guests have access to the whole house and all amenities with the exception of the garage.

I will meet you for check-in and review how to use some appliances, grills, hot-tub and go over so other minor details. Check-in tour takes about 20 minutes and is done for your safety as well as mine as it helps alleviate the possibility of damage or injuries.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
6 outdoor security cameras clearly visible to anyone for safety -- one covers front door, one covers the north side of the house, one covers side entrance door, one covers the second side door and back side yard, one covers the back yard area, and one covers the rose garden next to the property fence.
They are only monitored when the house is UNOCCUPIED unless there is concern and a reason to view them when guests are present.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please note that if for any reason the hot-tub is NOT available during your stay due to mechanical and/or maintenance issues, you will be refunded ONLY the hot-tub FEE.
_______________________________________________
Please also note that the hot-tub and firepit MAY occasionally be off limits for HEALTH-SAFETY reasons such as EXCESSIVE HEAT OR COLD and/or HIGH WINDS. These situations are Mother Nature's fault and, therefore, there will NOT be any refund.
Thank you!

Great Stay

This was my 1st VRBO stay. I am betting I'll be comparing future stays to this one. Standard Setting! Had flight cancellations and the host was very accommodating with the complications that caused. Check-in/out was smooth and easy. House is clean and has toe modern conveniences you desire. Decor is very charming and unique (You won't be bored). Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate and we did not use the outside benefits. If you are coming in for whatever your reason with family I couldn't imagine or recommend a more perfect place. For Army graduation at Ft. Sill the location is in the Goldilocks zone. If you ar not into the usual rental car suspects, also check out Heavenly Chariots Transportation. Should I ever visit Lawton again, THIS will be where I stay. Hope any future VRBO uses are as good as this one.

Great space for our family inside and out! We were in Lawton for Basic Training graduation of our son, and it allowed us a great space to spend family time. As Christians, the only thing we did not appreciate was the Buddhist decor.

Amazing

Honestly the location was perfect, we were there for BCT graduation and my son wanted to be able to relax and not go anywhere. Nearby to restaurants and not far from base access. The owner was great, we got in a little early and she accommodated us. And walked us through the home. The only thing I wish it had was a washer/dryer but that was my fault and thought it did. Would definitely come back and stay again, thank you for a great location for my kids, husband and mother be able to stay and see my son for graduation before he ships.

Visit for Basic Combat Training Graduation

Property was clean and comfortable. Plenty of space for kids to spread out. Nice park nearby and close to Fort Sill Key Gate. Hot tub was a fun amenity to have available. Most of our time was spent with our Soldier catching up on marvel and Star Wars episodes that were released over the summer.

Beautiful home

To start off we where very late because of our flight. Susen the manager waited for us to show us around. The house was very clean and organized. The beds where all very comfortable and the master bathroom has a great shower. If we visit Lawton again her place would be our first place to check availability.

A good time was had by all

Our hostess communicated frequently and fully with us gave us a grand tour when we arrived. The kitchen was unusually well stocked, and the property was very clean the living room was big enough to accommodate all seven of us. We did not use the hot tub or the grill, but they were there and available. Services on the television were unusually good.

Good but prefer less contact

The house is cute and VERY WELL equipped with kitchen things, towels, etc. Everything is labeled which is convenient and the hot tub was super clean. The host likes a LOT of communication on check in and out times so she can be there which we found annoying. She is very particular about things in the house so she does a walk through upon check in. We prefer NO contact but otherwise was a good stay and great value!

If you have children, Beware, the owner is distrustful, mean and vindictive.

She evicted me and my grandchildren and during the process was ranting loudly over-and-over to the children, 'your grandmother is a liar and a thief. They are 8, 6, and 3. They were traumatized, with the 3-year old crying, by her unprofessional and irrational behavior. She wanted to charge me for any visitor that entered the home, regardless how long they were there. She wouldn't take cash when I offered it, she just wanted us out! And she also is claiming that my scrawny 8-year old granddaughter, nick-named 'Bones', broke a hot tub strap. An 8-year old??? I am an adult and I should not be able to break the strap. As she plans on suing me, she also stated she was going to report this to the army in an attempt to get my son-in-law, who is a First Lieutenant, in trouble, as 'he is responsible for his child's behavior', she said, when questioned why she would contact the army. There is so much more I would love to say but am given so much space.... it is not a 4-bdrm home as three of the listed rooms are thoroughfares to get to the backyard. She has locked, glass-covered couriers with agates/crystals and then numerous flea-market vases, etc with written orders to not touch. There is a stool for 'display only'. It's almost like she wants something broke. Like I thought when I walked around during our introductory tour... I thought I rented a home not a wanna-be museum with clutter and flea-market decor.

A wonderful property to stay at. Made a quick trip very comfortable and enabled us to have family time within the comforts of home. Enjoyed the backyard fire pit and the relaxing hot tub. Located close to everything we had planned, would highly recommend. Our host was very nice and communication was perfect! Definitely would rent again.
