Covered front porch and a deck out back. Only 3 miles from Kinkaid Lake and Shawnee National Forest and a Saloon within walking distance. The only thing you need to bring is your clothes, bathroom products, food and beverage. We do not have floor fans so if you need something like that you will have to bring .

Awesome Place to stay!

Great place to stay for a weekend at the lake! Tons of room for family friends and huge backyard to play with the kids. Large driveway so if you are bringing a boat it wont be a problem to park it. They had everything you would need!

Southern hospitality in its truest form. The owners showed kindness, warmth, and a welcomed us as if we were family. More than enough space for our family of 6 and a pretty cool tavern within walking distance.
