The cabin was perfect for my birthday weekend getaway, the smores were great! Nice and peaceful, I love that the community is protected with gate keepers. The 2 lakes are nice for kayaking, everything you need is within 10 miles. Arthur communicated with us throughout our stay, he made sure everything was good.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Photos are deceiving, furniture very well worn and not in a good way. We are older and we’re looking for comfortable. We only sat on the front porch bench. I did have to sweep it up. It’s the little things. Make it inviting. We didn’t feel this was that place. The plus was that it welcomed dogs. Kitchen could use some new skillets and utensils. Less clutter and less nicnacs. I could go on but will keep it short. Location was very nice. Sad I just seemed a bit dumpy. I would not stay here again.
This is the way we found it. We never used this area. I came to vacation not clean. This is not what you see on their photos.
Shirt was there. On this chair and vomit by the front porch when we arrived to greet us.

Weekend stay

This was a good, simple cabin that met the needs of our family (and dogs) for a weekend. The location is great, tucked away from the road, incredibly quiet and relaxing. The kitchen and appliances were functional. We appreciated having what we needed, but supplies like paper towels and basic cleaning items would have been helpful. The bathroom setup (only one and accessed through the primary bedroom) was a bit awkward, but it worked fine for our group. Overall the cabin was tidy and we enjoyed our stay.

This cabin was an absolute haven for us

We were near the end of a long and arduous process of selling our home in TX and buying a new home in OK. We needed a place to stay for 2 weeks and thankfully found this cabin. The cabin itself is gorgeous and the surroundings so beautiful and peaceful. The stress melted away and our family was rejuvenated. Our pets absolutely loved the cabin too.Arthur kept in communication with us to make sure that we were doing well and had everything we needed. He even let us know when a tornado watch had been issued for the area (thankfully, no tornadoes spotted).Even though we now live close by, my husband and I have discussed coming back to the cabin again sometime, just because it’s such a haven.Oh, and the beds were very comfortable as well..

Great weekend getaway

The cabin was just described with lots of privacy. There were many extra special touches such as the hammock, sky saucer for the kids, grill, patio area, smores, commercial grade waffle maker, and corn to feed the deer. We did not actually see the deer but we heard them eating at night. One bathroom was awkward but we made it just fine. Lots of pillows and blankets for extra comfort. We would recommend this cabin to anyone.

Million Dreams

We absolutely loved the place! It was cute, clean and secluded. The property owner was very courteous, attentive to our needs and respectful of our privacy. It was amazing to watch deer eat in the front yard and the family loved going to the Natural Fall state park to see the waterfalls. Can’t wait to go back and try another of Arthur’s cabins. OK

Peaceful and relaxing

We wanted a weekend getaway so we could spend time together away from the hustle & bustle of life. The location was ideal for kayaking on the river and evenings spent together around the fire pit. Saw lots of deer in the yard and enjoyed the sounds of nature. House is clean and well furnished. Hosts communicated with us and offered to remedy any issues we may have had. Highly recommend this location!
