Weekend Trip to Lakeside Point

The property was absolutely amazing! Very clean, few bugs which we were thankful for, and the view of the sunset was absolutely breathtaking! The bath house is a great addition; very roomy and water as hot as you'd like! The inside of the cabin had a very rustic charm to it which I loved! The owner stopped by amd was the nicest lady. We will definitely be returning to this property.

Weekend Trip to Kiamichi Mounds

This place is awesome! First the host was great. Answered any questions i had and was very quick to communicate. The location is beautiful and peaceful right on the banks of the river with easy access to the water w a gravel bar and rock outcroppings. You have plenty of privacy and seclusion but it is only 5 min to town so very convenient too. They had fishing poles to use and i caught a fish on my 2nd cast. The area was all mowed around camp and very clean. There was a canoe and kayaks to use, a bbq grill to cook on, a fire pit with a fire already setup and plenty of firewood provided. The camper is older but perfectly clean and comfortable. Plenty of space to set up tents too. Drue and his family obviously put a lot of effort into setting this up and making sure i had everything i could need. I’ll definitely be back.

This place was absolutely beautiful! When we first turned onto the property, the views were breathtaking—the mountains, the water, and the lush greenery all around. We stayed in the tiny cabin, which doesn’t look like much from the outside but is incredibly cozy and charming on the inside. It had a very comfy bed, a microwave, a refrigerator, a coffee maker, and a full bathroom. If you’re looking for a sweet little cabin getaway where you can be surrounded by nature but still have the comfort of a roof over your head, this is perfect! It’s the perfect opportunity to really unplug and enjoy some quality time with your partner or family. Plus we saw a deer, some rabbits, an eagle and lots of cute birds. The hosts were wonderful and very accommodating. We absolutely loved the whole experience and would highly recommend it to anyone considering staying here!
