About this property

sleeps 2 Craterville Park Cabin near Wichita Mountains Cache and Medicine Park

Nestled at the foothills of the Wichita Mountains, The Lazy Buffalo has 13 uniquely themed Cabins. The Craterville Park Cabin accommodates 2 guests with a comfy king bed, a plush loveseat, and a full bathroom with a large walk in tiled shower accented with glass blocks. Knotty pine and corrugated tin are used throughout the spacious cabin. Dark stained concrete floors and tin ceilings really add a rustic yet elegant touch.

The Craterville Park Cabin is named in honor of the legacy founded by Frank S. Rush over a hundred years ago when he opened Craterville Park two miles north of our location at The Lazy Buffalo. Craterville Park produced generations of memories and offered recreation and entertainment like nowhere else in Oklahoma at the time.

This Cabin is handicap accessible.

During your stay, enjoy complimentary Netflix and Wi-Fi or unplug and take in the beauty of our area. Watch as the sunsets over the plains from the long covered front porch while lounging in the wooden rockers. Southwest Oklahoma sunsets are truly worth witnessing.

Sip on a cup of coffee to get your morning started right and end your adventurous day gathered at the covered picnic area while enjoying smells from the charcoal grill. Yummy marshmallow goodness at the fire pit is a memorable way to cap off the evening or choose to relax under the stars in the back of our vintage star gazing truck, located just a short walk from the cabin.

Both kids and adults will love tossing horseshoes and playing old fashion games. Toss Frisbees at the disc golf stations, drop giant checkers to make a Connect 4, create music at our interactive music wall, or team up for some volleyball action. We are always adding new outdoor activities. Don't forget to snap some memories at The Lazy Buffalo photo ops.

We are honored to be able to share a bit of the Craterville Park history with our guests. Frank Rush III kindly loaned original photographs, brochures, posters, and other memorabilia for this Cabin. Frank is the grandson of E. Frank Rush who founded Craterville Park in 1923 with a goal to preserve the cowboy and Indian heritage of the area. Over the years, this dude ranch became known as "The Playground of Southwest Oklahoma."

Clean and Cozy
We enjoyed our stay at the Lazy Buffalo; which was very close to the entrance into the park. The room was clean, bed was comfortable, shower was great, and the decor and history was very enjoyable. A lot of attention to detail! We also loved the star gazing truck.

About the host

Hosted by Julie Logue

Host profile image
We have lived in Southwest Oklahoma for over 60 years and love our hometown of Cache. The Wichita Mountains are right in our backyard, and we get to enjoy their beauty every day.

In 2019, The Lazy Buffalo opened with 5 vacation rental Cabins. These Cabins were designed to capture the essence of the Wichita Mountains and the history of our hometown. In 2021, the Venue with Bunkhouse opened, and we carried over the same western vibe when designing the 2400 square foot space. Throughout 2022 and 2023, we opened 6 more Cabins and in late 2023 our first set of pet friendly Cabins opened.

Conveniently connected by sidewalks, it's just a short stroll being the bunkhouse, our Cabins, and 24-hour guest laundry. All together, we can accommodate up to 49 guests among the 13 Cabins and Bunkhouse.

We are blessed to be family owned and managed. Our favorite thing about hosting is seeing multi-generation Families gathered around sharing quality time together. Should you need anything, our home is only 2 blocks from the Cabins. We hope you make wonderful memories while staying at The Lazy Buffalo.
