The owners live on property and are available in emergencies. If you need to reach us, we are available via text. We live on 10 acres and that leads to having various projects going on at any given time. The most common maintenance that you could hear or see would be us trimming trees, mowing the yards, cleaning the pond, and tending to our garden. If we have time, we are happy to interact, but we also know some people just need respite and we respect this desire for privacy.

Mountain View Park Neighborhood: This neighborhood is historic and on private roads. We boast towering cedar and oak trees, abundant wildlife, and great walking trails. It's the only neighborhood with wooded acreage 1 mile from the highway i-35 and so close to all the amenities in town and the lake. There is simply no other neighborhood of its kind in all of Edmond. Be surrounded by nature, yet right next to the City. We also provide all the information on the history of the historic neighborhood in our guestbook.

We are 1 mile from the highway, 1 mile from Lake Arcadia boat ramps and beaches, 3 miles from University of Central Oklahoma, 20 minutes from downtown OKC, 10 minutes from downtown Edmond, and close to all the eateries, movie theaters, bowling, bakeries, grocery stores, etc.

You will have access to the entire house minus the cleaning closet. You will also have access to our Koi pond, kids playhouse and the surrounding area of the house. 4 parking spots within our gates are available to you.

Downstairs: The cabin has a fully equipped kitchen so you can cook any meal. There is a large island for prepping meals. A bar for eating, 2 living areas, 1 dining table for four, 1 fireplace, and a unique Japanese soaking tub are all accessible downstairs.
Upstairs: a spiral staircase leads to an open loft with 1 king and 1 queen. It has a private bathroom and shower.
Outside: 1 table that seats 4 is located on the front porch, one covered outdoor living area on the back porch and one charcoal grill.

We are 25 minutes from Will Rogers International Airport and 1 mile from Lake Arcadia. We have free parking for 4 cars and are 3 minutes from I-35. We are available to make recommendations for any activities you may be interested in doing. We have created a guidebook for you to check out before and during your stay. We also have a book of favorite restaurants, favorite u-pick farms, and local entertainment ideas in our guidebook at the house. I am also available via the Messaging center to curate your best Oklahoma vacation, anniversary experience, or family experience.

The Gate House was built in 1940's and was remodeled in early 2000's with unique features, all while maintaining its historic charm. From the native cedar spiral staircase, to the peaceful outdoor space, to the one of a kind hospitality- it is the ONLY Cabin of its kind in OKC/Edmond/Central Oklahoma. It does have a few things that could be difficult for some guests. Below are the few things I have received feedback on from our guests. I want to be fully transparent about the house and its quirks. I include this so it doesn't catch any guest by surprise and helps you book the right place for your current physical needs.

*The loft is open. We have two beds in the loft that are on opposite ends of the loft. The king size bed does have a wall and door for privacy. The Loft spans the entire length of the house, the queen bed is open in the loft area and the king bed has a door that can be locked. The beds are not side by side; they are in separate rooms. If you are traveling with another couple, please note that the queen bed is open in the loft, the king bed is in a room with a door that can be closed.

*There is a spiral staircase built out of all native cedar lumber taken from the property. The staircase leads to the open loft and requires coordination and strength to carry luggage up the stairs.

*We also have a Japanese soaking tub in the downstairs bathroom. This bathtub is not a typical bathtub. It requires stepping up two steps and then stepping down into the tub. It is only meant for soaking and not meant for showering. And again, it could be harder to enjoy if you struggle with walking up or down steps. This is not the only bathroom, we also have a bathroom upstairs with a shower.
