The basement sleeping area is perfect for those that enjoy sleeping in a cooler temperature environment. Our grandchildren slept well after our days on the lake.

It’s a sweet older home that feels like visiting grandma’s place at the lake. Soda Steve’s is a nice walk away and Strayhorn Marina is a four minute drive. The host left clear instructions for check-in and check out. I have to say, this was the easiest checkout I’ve ever experienced.

Great location. Well outfitted kitchen. Remember this property does not have Wi-Fi currently. Hotspots off phone worked great. Had I not had a deadline to meet this would not have been mentioned. It was on me. Owners had great communication. Check out Soda Steves near by for dinner on the weekends. Would definitely stay again.

The Iris Cottage was perfect for our stay with our friends. Between the two families, we had four grown boys, ample room to sleep, and three bathrooms that accommodated everyone. The house is built on a hill, so be prepared for stairs, but it lends to its charm. There is a new deck on the back side that was a perfect spot for our morning coffee. The stained glass windows seemed to take on a different hue depending on the rising and setting sun. When I needed to chat with the host, he was quick to respond. We hope to make the Iris Cottage a yearly vacation spot!

Beautiful

We Needed a long weekend and decided Tenkiller lake was the place. Found this cabin and it had all the details we needed. When we arrived it was perfect. Our group set on the deck for hours while the kids raced around. We will definitely be back.

Long weekend getaway

We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely home. We liked that my husband and I could stay on the main floor and had our own bathroom. My daughter and her family had the basement area with their own bathroom and my other daughter had her own section of the house with her own bathroom. Kitchen had plenty of dishes and was well stocked. A very comfortable home.

Rooms for everyone

Perfect for our weekend family needs. Kids enjoyed the three levels. Storms rolled thru on 2nd night which took out power but enough daylight in house to pack up and head home. Neighborhood near Strayhorn Cove where we rented couple boats for OK & TX family day.

Beautiful home close to lake!

Such a great location! The most comfortable beds. No wifi, but we didn’t need it. Stairs may be difficult for some. Don’t shower on main floor if someone is showering downstairs because water pressure will drop to a trickle. We slept 8 and could easily sleep 10-12.

I will come back next year!

Great location, cozy, comfy and spacious enough for 12 people. Gary is an excellent host. There was a power outage in the area the first day of our stay but he called the electrical company and power was re-establihed in an hour, and it happened Thanksgiving day. That's what I call managing. Thanks Gary for all the attention and readiness to help!!!

Calm and relaxing

It was a wonderful stay. My only complaint is my own fault. I didnt ask about the stairs. We have a grandmother who is handicapped andndid not want to come because of stairs. It was a wonderdul and relaxing vacation. In a location close to the lake but far wnough away from everything else. It was nice we had no internet or service because we just brought all our movies (the owners have an amazing colle tion) we binged movies all week.
