The Shady Rest, pool, hot tub, fishing dock, dogs welcome

Located down Texanna in Sandy Bass Bay 3 (Jane's Jungle), this house is a close walk or golf cart ride to Lake Eufaula, Oklahoma beaches. We are within a mile of two launch ramps, and not far from Belle Starr Marina or Porum Marina and launch ramps. The other side of hwy 69 is Lake Eufaula State Park with many types of recreation including horseback riding and golf. Guests with kids enjoy Jelly Stone Park located at the town of Eufaula by the marina.

There is a large grassy tree lined front yard with plenty of parking for guests and toys. The Shady Rest downstairs has dining area, kitchen, full bathroom and living room with sliding glass door to the patio. Day beds make two twin beds. Upstairs has area with a twin bunk bed and closet on one side and a queen bed on the other.

The sliding door opens onto a pet friendly patio. Just through the next gate and up the steps behind the main lodge is the deck with conversation seating, hot tub and pool. The pool will re-open by the end of April. The owner shared seasonal above ground pool and year around hot tub are available for your use. Occasionally they must be closed without notice for maintenance, but generally we have them available for your enjoyment. Just a short walk to the lake for fishing or boating. There is boat parking with electricity, a fish cleaning station and minnow barrel for those here for pleasure fishing or tournaments. Contact us when you make your reservation if you need information about boat launching, fishing, docking and boat parking.

The location 421464 Big Sandy Drive (1165 Rd), Eufaula OK 74432. When you enter the address on your phone, select the "Big Sandy Lodge and Shady Rest" popup. Exit the 69 fwy going south on Texanna. Drive 5.1 miles to turn right onto 422 (0). If you see a sign for Lindsey Chapel or Sandpiper Cove, you have gone too far down Texanna.

Travel past Push Hill to a right-hand curve onto 1170. Continue to the next intersection and turn right towards Sandy Bass Bay 3. The 3rd road turn right onto 1165 Rd, aka Big Sandy Drive. Please continue down 1165 to the last house on the right.

Romantic getaway with hot tub
Our stay was okay. We left early mainly because the property was a little different than what I thought we were getting. The listing made it seem as though we had our private hot tub area, we did not. The house was pretty but outdated, and not very clean. There was a distinct urine smell from the bed. All in all not super happy with it

Cozy and convenient
This was perfect. The location to our family reunion at Pickens Lake campground was so easy for us. Having our dog with us was a big part of the goal for our stay. The only hotel I would consider does not allow dogs and the security of us at The Shady Rest gave me peace of mind. Our hosts were gracious and friendly. I highly recommend to anyone going to visit Lake Eufala

The teenage boys were off the devices! What more could you want?
I loved this place for my teenagers. It’s easy to pick a hotel but teenage boys need nature. They need dirt roads and docs to jump off of. A lake to swim in. A real adventure. They loved the pool and the hot tub. This was just such an enduring experience. While the boys had their outdoor country adventure I had a hot shower and a beautifully decorated home. Beautiful kitchen. Lots of bed arrangements. Don’t let those mini splits fool you - they cool the house beautifully. Keri was so kind and hospitable. So down to earth- even gave us farm fresh eggs. If you are a hotel person maybe this won’t be for you. But we loved it. The teenagers loved it and that’s a win in my book. Praying to see you again next summer!

Very pleasant experience
The owners, Glen and Kerry were very hospitable and friendly. They stay on the same property so they were very accessible anytime we had any questions. I loved that we could take our doggo with us. Lincoln loved being able to run around in the big yard and walking down to the lake with my husband and I. The house was very clean and perfect for our little weekend getaway. Also, the hot tub was divine for a relaxing evening after the days activities, and while the owners were on property we were afforded plenty of privacy. Overall we had a great first experience and would definitely go back to The Shady Rest.

Great weekend!
My wife and I had an amazing weekend here. It was very cozy, clean, and peaceful. The hot tub was awesome! It was a great way to relax after a long work week. Glen and Kerry were awesome! Love the fresh eggs they gave us and their dogs are beautiful and super friendly. I would highly recommend staying here. Location is nice, right in between Checotah and Eufaula.

One Night Stay
My husband, our two dogs and toddler had a one night stay at Shady Rest while we were visiting family in the neighborhood and we really enjoyed our time there. My only complaint was that the floors were pretty dirty and I had to make sure that my son and I were wearing shoes at all times because I forgot to bring socks for us. The hot tub was also not working. I loved the dog friendly patio and the couches/beds were super comfortable. We also couldn't figure out the smart TV, it was under the amenities listed, but we couldn't find out how to get to Netflix or any of the smart TV apps, so it may be useful to have some instructions on it. Luckily we ended up not really needing it. I was pleasantly surprised that it was actually bigger than it looks in photos, had a nice filtered water pitcher in the fridge and was quiet despite being pretty close to neighbors and the owners. We will definitely stay here again!

Anniversary get away
We were able to relax and get away from the day to day responsibilities. The location is quiet and near a finger of the lake so you can access the lake quite easily. It was very hot on our trip, so it was very comfortable in our little house with the mini splits. Our hosts were very kind. They have some beautiful dogs. Very friendly.
