About this property

Gated Hilltop Luxury Lodge on 100 acres - Relax and Enjoy AMAZING VIEWS

Cedar Ridge Lodge sits atop a wooded ridge on 100 acres of private, gated property called Mountain Vista Retreat. With breathtaking panoramic views, the spacious and well-appointed 3,714 sq. ft home offers the perfect getaway for groups and families seeking a rustic setting with modern amenities. Whether you relax on site or venture out into McCurtain County for nearby outdoor activities or points of interest, a stay at the Lodge will be memorable!

At the heart of the home is its great room with vaulted ceilings, stone fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the beautiful Kiamichi Mountains. The open plan allows for easy access to the kitchen and dining area offering plenty of enjoyment space for larger groups. Guests appreciate the second large entertainment room well-suited for kids and teens. Relax on the furnished back patio, take a dip in the hot tub, gather 'round the fire ring to make s'mores, or square off for a rousing game of horseshoes. The 2-acre mowed backyard offers endless possibilities for fun. All ages will enjoy a stay at Mountain Vista Retreat.

McCurtain County is chock full of outdoor adventure opportunities. Swim at Broken Bow Lake, ATV through the Ouachita Mountains, cast a line in Lower Mountain Fork River, pet a skunk at Hochatown Petting zoo, or zoom 35mph on a zipline through Beavers Bend State Park. It's also home to breweries, wineries, distilleries, restaurants, casinos, museums, and more. There's something for everyone nearby, making a stay at Cedar Ridge Lodge as relaxing, or as active and adventurous, as you want.

NOTE: We often slightly change and update furniture, decor, and bedding. The presented interior photos may not exactly match what you might find upon arrival. All other features and amenities will be consistent with the home description. Guests will be asked to use their own data plans onsite.

2nd year in a row!

Amazing location for the annual boys retreat! A great place to enjoy a movie by the fireplace, morning coffee with a game of cards, group activities, relaxation in the hot tub, and some good ol' quiet time away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Plenty of relaxation space and very comfortable sleeping arrangements. A/C AND heat work great. Host is quick to assist with any issues. This might be our yearly spot for some time to come!See you next year!

Yearly Family Trip to Oklahoma

Every Year our family plans a trip to Disconnect and Reconnect. This cabin and its surroundings were just what we all needed. Waking up every morning with a cup of coffee to sit outside in the back and enjoy its views was the best part in starting off the day. We did all the trails on the property. All worth doing. Just keep in mind no distances are provided on the maps nor signs on the trails. So just keep walking... Creek wasn't full at the time so we couldn't fish there but on one of our trails we did end up finding a fishing spot. The cabin was nice and accommodated everyone. The kids enjoyed the playroom here they disconnected from us parents. The cabin is also near 3 other cabins just keep that in mind in the event that you see other cars passing by. But not once did we hear any disturbance from anyone.

Absolutely perfect!

We loved this place! Two of my grown kids live in big cities and they wanted to get away from it all and this fit their desires! It is remote so bring food! The game room was so nice with the pool table and huge TV. On a practical note, 4.5 bathrooms really helped our party of 8! Mornings on the sun porch were delightful! Everyone wants to go back next year!

Great getaway

Easy check in. View is Great. My son and I went riding SXS had a great time manager left suggestions where to ride. Not to far from town. Also if you forgot something Dollar Store right down road which we had to go to. Son loved the big bean bags and the kids area. Had marshmallows by the fire. Our fur babies did well also. Pictures very accurate. All in all great getaway. Plus for those who are tech people cell phone and internet worked great.

Peaceful and secluded, amazing views

It was more than what we had expected. House was big enough for multiple families to each have their own space. Plenty of common areas for activities. Location is faraway from the hustle and bustle of the crowded towns, but still within distance if you needed to go to town. Bring everything you need including grocery's because it is secluded.

This was our second stay at this house. It is beautiful, spacious, plenty of land and has everything you’ll need. It is close enough to go to Hochatown and Broken Bow. I’ll regret it if I never make it back to Smithville!

Cabin in the Sky!

We had such an amazing stay, and the backyard view is just breathtaking. It felt very nostalgic to give the swingset a go. Even though it rained the whole weekend, the temperature was so perfect, we spent a lot of time outside. Every single one of us agreed, we would definitely stay again. The only thing we could think of that would have been very useful, is some sort of cleaning products. Granted, there's a cleaning crew included in the price, we still prefer to maintain leaving things spotless and how we found them. Nevertheless, it was truly an amazing stay and Id definitely return.

Perfect seclusion

This property is a bit far from the Broken Bow / Hochatown crowds, but with as congested as the area has become, my family and I found the seclusion absolutely perfect. There’s plenty of trails around the property, lots of yard for kids to play, and ample space inside the beautiful home to keep everyone entertained. The drive is about 40 minutes north of Hochatown, so it is close enough if you want to rent a boat at Beavers Bend Marina or do other daytime activities, but it was always nice to get away from the crowds and traffic, and back to the quiet comfort of Cedar Ridge Lodge. Highly recommend.

Cedar Ridge Lodge at Mountain Vista Retreat has gorgeous views and is spacious and welcoming. It's comfortable for larger groups and families to gather and spend time together while offering plenty of space, indoors and out, for everyone to explore.

What makes this property unique

The outdoor fit pit and seating area is one of my favorites. The outdoor hot tub with mountain views is pretty awesome, too. The upstairs entertainment room that offers a second space for people to gather, watch tv and play games, gives kids and teens a place to be that's really fun for them.
