Amazing Experience!!

Family of 19 had planned a float trip at War Eagle resort. Some camped and some prefer a modern air conditioned place to sleep. I rented this property as my choice and a place to keep some of the younger kids or over flow sleepers. This was an amazing choice. Big comfy beds in both rooms. An amazing host. A very cozy

Quiet with great indoor & outdoor entertaining spaces.

Property is within the perfect distance of both the Illinois River (5 minutes from All-American floats & 15 minutes from Eagle Bluff) and Tahlequah (10 minutes) to downtown. Had all of the necessary utensils, pots, pans, and even a gas grill which was absolutely needed after a long day of floating. Perfect outdoor space with a TV and 2 ceiling fans that was covered and screened in along with a smaller one which was perfect for morning coffee. Quite the gem! Would recommend staying again.

Perfect holiday get away

We stayed in this rental property over Thanksgiving weekend. It was the perfect place to gather as a family! Very clean, very beautifully decorated, and enough sleeping room for all seven of us. In a quiet location in Talequah. My only request is that this rental property could use a blow dryer. Would highly recommend this for your family stay!

Great Girls Trip

We decided on a float trip for our annual college girls get away. This house was perfect for us! A short 2 miles from the river and we were there! Everyone was comfortable and we enjoyed every single aspect of the house. The decor was well thought out and the theme was perfect for us! The beds were comfortable and to our surprise, every couch pulled out to a bed! Seriously, we had no complaints. We will be back. Oh and we even enjoyed the morning visitors of the family of pigs that would roam the neighborhood. Sweet change for most of us who are city girls! Thanks for the comfy stay!
