Wanderlust

Beautiful cabin with well knit amenities. Mountain View and sunroom is mesmerising rising blend of stay. It is difficult to spend more time around fire pit and sitting area. Some kind of insect repellent lamp or candle would have made it easier.

Eclipse weekend

We booked over a year ago to watch the eclipse. The Elk house was fantastic! We enjoyed fishing, the stunning view, the beautiful wild flowers. Our hosts even asked us to stay and watch the eclipse with them and made us lunch! We had a perfect weekend, we never left the property, I can’t wait to book our next trip

Beautiful area, property and home were very clean and very well stocked.

We were in the area doing some work on a newly purchased property. This was a spacious and beautiful place for R&R after being outdoors all day. Would definitely recommend arriving before dark. Nestled in the country and if you are not comfortable with back roads. Highly recommend will return!

Love Love This Place!

We were looking for a quiet getaway, and this was perfect. The house is huge on the inside, with 4 very comfortable bedrooms. Very clean and well maintained. And fairly remote. Not sure how we were so blessed - but two nights we were there, we sat on the back porch watching thunderstorms lighting up clouds in the distance. Beautiful. The mountain views were great. There are several smaller cabins on the same property, which were empty when we visited - so it was exactly the quiet getaway we needed. (It's about a 15 minute drive into Talihina, where we did go to AJ's butcher shop for groceries a couple of times.) This just became our go-to getaway! We'll be back.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Snodgrass

Host profile image
My husband, Bradley, and I have been enjoying cabin life for years. His family has had cabins in Southeastern Oklahoma for decades. My love of cabins didn't begin until we got married 20 years ago. Bradley's mother had cabins in the Kiamichi Wilderness that she so graciously let us go to every chance that we got. We lived in the DFW area for many years. Nearly 4 years ago we decided to move to the Kiamichi Valley. The cabin we built here became our home! It has been so amazing waking up to mountain views every day! We have two children, Jake 16, and Max 11. We live near Mountain View Retreat in Tuskahoma. We hope you will enjoy this beautiful part of Oklahoma as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

Mountain View Retreat is a wonderful getaway! We found this property while looking for the next chapter in our lives. As soon as we saw it we were hooked! It simply took our breath away with the amazing mountain views! There is ample space on the property to roam. There are woods to explore, personal fire pits per cabin, plus another fire pit by the covered bridge, 3 ponds, and porches with grills to enjoy.
