Relaxing place

My family spent 3 days there for Thanksgiving. This cabin was small but we managed. There was a few things that could be improved. 1. The pots and pans are old and need replaced, 2 it would have been nice to have shampoo and conditioner. 3. Also there was a firepit but the wood wasn't there we had to ask for it. Some of the animals on the website is nolong there.

Perfect Get Away

My family came to Oklahoma for my Grandson's High School graduation. We wanted someplace close, large enough to let the kids and dog play and have more family gather after the graduation. We had everything we wanted in this property and made wonderful memories. We met the owner and some of his workers and had nothing but positive interaction! I highly recommend this VRBO. Great location for all that this area offers.

Loved it!!

Enjoyed our stay and walked the property several times with our dogs. It was a little cold outside so we played a lot of cards, outdoor movies by fire pit and a lot of s’mores. Enjoyed our time away from our stressful jobs with our girls that were home from college.

Country quietness

Overall we had a good stay. The grass was a little tall and going to the fire pit resulted in getting stickers in pants and socks. There were quite a few spiders in the cabin. Wolf and fiddleback. The set up of the cabin however was quaint and peaceful. The grandkids enjoyed feeding the animals on the property. We met the owner on the day of checkout and he was nice. He even took the youngest on a ride to the barn on the side by side. Spiders and stickers aside we would stay there again. It was clean and quiet. A short distance from all things to do.

Exactly what we needed!

The place was perfect for what our family needed for the holidays. My parents live close by in a 2 bedroom farm house and we had 18 people coming in for Christmas. The great grandchildren loved seeing the animals every day, and having the ability to pet them was an added bonus. We would love to use this lovely place again!! Thank you for everything!

Cute Place

It was a cute place for me and my long-time friend to visit and catch up. Unfortunately, the place was not clean when we arrived, but the owner remedied that quickly and made things right. After the house keeper left, there were no linens in one of the bathrooms, but we made it work. We enjoyed walking the property and seeing the animals. This property is about 15 minutes from Arbuckle Wilderness and Turner Falls.

Disconnect needed

The process was easy and hosts were nice, though we had little interaction, as was our intent The serenity was what was needed for our family. We arrived later on a Friday ahead of a day at Turner Falls on Sunday. We hiked, fished and fed the animals, played games and just relaxed. We will make it a point to return for a similar adventure.

Happy to be out of there.

Terrible experience. Completely unhelpful host. The house barely had any supplies, trash bags, dish soap, toilet paper. Infested with spiders. Internet disconnected every single hour and required to sign a new contract every single hour for every device. Host refused to help with any of it. The "bedroom" is a joke. The room is the size of the bed and there's no ac in the room and no privacy with glass doors and no lock. They don't let you put the air under 71,which does not cool the whole space, so expect to sweat every night. A lot of these things would be understandable if the price was cheaper but at almost 200 a night after fees I would rather stay anywhere else.

Not my favorite vacation spot.

This place could be nice. We had several problems. Wasps! Grass hadn’t been cut and they said they would come the next day while we were out and cut it and leave wasp spray. They didn’t so I had to contact them again. Someone brought out wasp spray and we were able to get someone to come and weed the fire pit area so we could use it. I didn’t realize until to late that they do not have a dishwasher. If you leave any dirty dishes it’s an extra $25. The kids did love having the animals to feed. And they fished for a little while in the pond. So they had a great time. I felt like I worked most of my vacation between cooking ( the grill is small had to grill in batches) and doing dishes, constantly killing wasps and emailing to get things taken care of. I was glad to come home to relax. The beds were comfortable but it never really got cool enough to sleep well downstairs. It is close to some really cool places to go like little Niagara. And it still beats staying in a hotel.

Cute cabin...liked llamas

The cabin was cute and nicely decorated, and my kids enjoyed feeding the llamas. Unfortunately, the cabin wasn't clean when we got there, but the owner was very responsive in sending someone out. It didn't get fully cleaned, and we left early because we were uncomfortable, but we were refunded for the second night. Owner was kind and assured us that they would make sure that this didn't happen in the future. As an aside, the ponds were too dry to fish when we went...while the owner's can't control the weather, it's probably worth asking before packing fishing gear since it's not updated on the listing.
