5 Star Historic Home - 2BR/3rd Loft - 3mi to Casino

Welcome to The Magnolia BE-Hive, a beautifully updated historic home in Durant, Oklahoma. Perfect for a relaxing getaway, a trip to the casino, or a visit to Southeastern OK University, our home is designed to be your comfortable and charming home away from home.

With a perfect 5-star rating, we're proud to offer a unique blend of historic character and modern comforts. We invite you to discover our curated space, from the stunning natural light to the private backyard oasis.

THE SPACE

The Magnolia BE-Hive offers:

- A spacious home accommodating up to 6 guests comfortably (recommend a mix of adults and kids)

- King bed in the master bedroom, plus a full bed and trundle in a second bedroom

- A fun and expansive upstairs loft with a 55" Smart Fire TV and board games

- Social media worthy Magnolia BE-Hive faux plant wall

- Private, fenced-in backyard with a fire pit, BBQ grill, and string lights

- Fully-equipped kitchen with a large gas stove, air fryer, and both drip and Keurig coffee makers

- High-speed WiFi and dedicated workspace for remote workers

- In-home laundry with a new washer and dryer

- The home can accommodate up to 6 people, but we recommend a mix between adults and children for the most comfortable stay. There is an additional fee for more than 4 guests - please enter the correct number of guests when booking for accurate pricing.

ROOMS & AMENTITIES:

Master Bedroom:
Relax in our master suite featuring a comfortable hybrid King bed and an en-suite full bathroom with fantastic water pressure. A large closet and a mounted 43" Smart Roku TV complete the space.

Second Bedroom:
This cozy room is perfect for a small family or group with a comfy full-sized memory foam bed and a trundle with two twin memory foam mattresses. It includes a 24" Smart Roku TV, dresser, and a full bathroom right next door.

Upstairs Loft/3rd Bedroom:
Our unique loft space is a guest favorite! With almost 500 sq ft, it's a great second living area, a kids' hangout, or a third private sleeping area. It features a large 55" Smart Fire TV, board games, and a love seat that converts to a twin bed. Please note: the loft tends to be warmer than the downstairs.

Kitchen & Dining:
You'll love our kitchen, equipped with everything you need to cook and dine in. Enjoy group meals at our beautiful wood table for six, and take advantage of the 5-burner gas stove, air fryer, and both drip and Keurig coffee makers.

We love hosting long-term guests! To ensure our home stays pristine for everyone, we have a few extra policies:

- For stays longer than 7-10 days, a mid-stay cleaning may be required at your cost.

- Bookings over 30 days may require a security deposit and a separate short-term rental agreement.

Great stay!

It is a 2 bedroom with a loft (not a 3 BR) but was very accommodating and the hosts were communicative and extremely understanding of concerns! The house is simply adorable Very quaint neighborhood and conveniently close to choctaw, making it very pleasant to stay off properly without breaking the bank! Checking in and out was a breeze! Would glaldly rebook in the event they are available our next trip!

About the host

Hosted by Brian DeCuir

Host profile image
Hello! We're Brian and Elvira, and we happily relocated from California to Texas in 2019. We love spending time with our two boys, enjoying the outdoors, playing games, watching movies, laughing, eating, and making new memories.

We're excited to share our first vacation home with you, the Magnolia BE-Hive, which we named after the beautiful magnolias of Durant and our family (Brian & Elvira). We hope you'll love our hive as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

We stumbled upon Durant while visiting the Choctaw Casino and instantly fell in love with this home. We chose the neighborhood for its quiet, residential feel and its perfect location. It's the ideal escape from the city, yet it's just a 7-minute drive to the Choctaw Casino, a 3-minute drive to Southeastern Oklahoma University and downtown, and a quick trip to beautiful Lake Texoma. We love the opportunity to explore this new area and we hope you do too!

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with our home's historic charm and character, which we believe dates back to before 1938. It's been completely remodeled with modern updates like a new HVAC system, electrical, and plumbing, while preserving its beautiful architectural details. The designer 10-foot ceilings and abundant natural light create a truly open and inviting space and the decor and amenities will make you feel right at home. It's a special gem that blends old-world charm with new-age comfort, and we know you'll love it as much as we do!
