About this property
Completely restored cabin on the banks of the Blue River!
Completely restored cabin on the banks of the Blue River! Enjoy kayaking, fishing, grilling, hanging around the camp fire, and making fantastic memories! It's great for a romantic, secluded, getaway, and perfect for a family vacation with the kids.
The Blue River is know for it's fantastic fishing, kayaking, tubing, and is only minutes from Lake Texoma. The master bedroom, with a gorgeous view of the river, is down and has a dressing table with mirror. The spacious loft is up with 2 queen beds and a blow up mattress with fresh linens if needed. The full bath has a washer and dryer, river rock shower, and fluffy bath towels. There is also an additional shower outside with hot and cold that is absolutely refreshing on any day of the year! The adorable kitchen features an oven, full size sink, dishwasher, refrigerator, pantry, and all utensils and cookware if you plan to make time to cook! Or, grill out and eat around the picnic table! You'll enjoy waking up to the spectacular views of the tranquil river and if you are up early enough, you might spot an otter or two swimming around the dock. Sip coffee on the covered porch in the morning and relax with a glass of wine at night. If you're more adventurous, bring your kayaks and/or tubes and float down the river to "the falls", relax in the hammock, roast marsh mellows around the fire pit, or catch a fish or two from the dock. Come and enjoy the well kept secret and charm of the Blue River Retreat!

The cabin is rustic, but comfortable. All bathrooms are on the lower level. All kitchen appliances are small efficiency-apartment style, and were adequate for our needs. We enjoyed the seclusion and riverbank location. Communication with host was easy and responsive.
We had a blast, fishing was great as was the cabin. Can’t wait to go back.

Quiet and serene
Over all a cozy place. Beds were very comfortable. Could use a little updating and more pots and pans that aren’t scorched if you intend to cook your meals there. Very quiet aandserene . Nice!
Beautiful riverfront cabin provided the perfect setting for a soul refreshing weekend. From the pre-dawn cries of a river loon to the mesmerizing camp fire in the evening, this is the place to go off-line and nurture your soul.
We absolutely adored staying in the cabin and hope to be back in the summer. You are ON THE RIVER and the view is wonderful. Cabin is comfortable and clean and the outside areas are well maintained and very functional. Very workable kitchen, comfortable bed, clean bathrooms, and a pretty fantastic doggo that came to visit from the neighbor's house.
We loved this little hideaway. The kids and husband fished. The boys kayaked and built a fire in fire pit. We loved it . The kitchen was small so if we go back I will probably pre -cook some things. Caseroles for breakfast and such.
First let me say the the location of this home is in a beautiful, quiet, remote location. Jami the owner was responsive to requests.
On the downside:
- The "cabin is fully stocked" does not include soap, shampoo, or laundry supplies.
- The refrigerator in the kitchen is not full sized and is not shown in the pictures so you cannot bring too many cold items.
- The skillets in the kitchen are in very poor condition.
- The kayak launch at the house is a very steep, eroded area with numerous tree roots. It is unsafe.
- This house makes the most noise of any we have ever stayed in. Each step up the stairs and accross upstairs is extremely noisy and will wake others if they are sleeping.
Our host, Jamie gave us all the information we needed to make our stay a no hassle experience. The property was as advertised, clean, well stocked peaceful and comfortable. Our trout fishing trip to the Blue River was much better this year knowing that we had a hot shower and and all of the comforts of home waiting on us at the cabin when our day of fishing was over. We made great memories here and recommend this property if you want to “rough it” in style.
Everything was nice. There was only one kayak, but they did state that if there’s some missing that they would try to replace them. I feel it was a little pricey, but overall, it was a great place. We loved it. The mascot Brody was a great dog. He was the neighbors.
The Cabin was great, it is the outside area leading down to the river. Pretty steep, with roots sticking up.. not very safe. But all in all these 3 60 yr old brothers had a good reunion..
4-Star rating truly deserved. Cabin was as described, very cozy and amazing being so close to the Blue River. Had a fun time using the kayaks provided by day and the fire pit by night.
Our family enjoyed everything about this property. It's very secluded and private. We especially enjoyed the hammocks by the river and the kayaks. Thanks for sharing this special property with us!
Lovely time in the cabin. Galley kitchen is small but workable. River was not flowing much due to lack of rain and not tempting to Kayak in but that was Mother Natures fault!
It was great….. we had an emergency and had to leave early.The only improvement we could see is to put in some kind of rails on the front or back porch. Thanks,Kay
Beautiful rustic cabin that was exceptionally clean. It was clear the host went above and beyond to make the cabin comfortable and cozy and bug-free (hard to do in the middle of river country - but Jami managed to do it). We fished and caught several bass right from the dock, had coffee on the porch and a glass of wine on the swing overlooking the river. We made friends with the neighbor dog Brodie - who we grew to love before our stay ended. This place was good for our soul, everyone should come visit - it's magical.
Other than running out of gas and not being able to use stove was great. Could of showed more concern as were in the middle of cooking and was not something you could finish on grill or in microwave as suggested.
We loved the cabin, we just wished it wouldn’t have been so rainy. The driveway was washed out in places so the last night we loaded the vehicles and drove them up by the rode, as we were afraid we might get stuck the next morning. We were glad we did, it rained most of the night. We had to carry the rest of our luggage to our vehicles in the pouring rain about a half mile. It was worth it great place and we loved our stay. We will be back.
I want to go back! The cabin was clean and perfect for an escape from home. If the photos haven't been updated yet, there is now a tire swing and a play fort in the yard which our kids loved (and we did too.) The internet service was surprisingly good if you need that. We happened to be at the cabin during the great ice storm of Feb. 2021. We ended up iced in and stayed an extra day. The host went above and beyond to help us stay comfortable and get us home safely. We watched the river completely ice over, then melt and flow downstream. It was beautiful! I can't wait to go back in warmer weather to enjoy all this home has to offer.
