Eagle Creek Getaway

Description from the owner

Great for families, group get togethers, or a romantic getaway for two. Surrounded by forest hardwood and pine, our privately owned, secluded cabin stands atop a bluff overlooking Little Eagle Creek. It is in the beautiful Kiamichi Mountains of southeast Oklahoma, in a rural community called Octavia which is close to Smithville and Broken Bow.

From the cabin, park-style rock and wood steps take you all the way down to the creek, and a short 1/4 mile walking trail takes you along the bluff’s edge. Half way along the trail sits a log bench for hikers to relax, enjoy the woods and watch for wildlife. Deer, otter, squirrels, a host of... birds, and other critters are common here.

The Kiamichi Mountains make up the view from the large deck creating beautiful, vibrant morning sunrises. The deck is ready for cook outs with a gas grill, table and deck furniture. Or, enjoy a peaceful nap with that special someone on the double-sized hammock. Steps down from the deck lead to a large graveled area with a fire pit – hot dog roasts, marshmallows, smores, or just enjoying a big campfire at night listening to the creek splash over the rocks and the coyotes yip.

Take in the local attractions. Explore the many miles of mountain trails in the Ouachita National Forest - ATV riding, horse back riding, or hiking. For the hunter take advantage of the Three Rivers Forest Wildlife Management Area, and just down the road some of the best year around fishing at Beavers Bend State Park. Tahlemena Drive is about 20 miles north. It will take you on a 2-3 hour drive over the Kiamichi Mountains with spectacular views any season, but especially in the fall.

Our luxurious, two story cabin is spacious enough for a family or group of friends, yet cozy enough for a couple looking for a fun retreat.

Up stairs, the master bedroom and bath are bedecked to provide just the right “mountain romance� atmosphere with an oversized king, cedar log bed and a candle lit Jacuzzi for two. For families and friend groups, the upstairs loft has a full sized pool table. Down stairs there are two bedrooms with queen beds and a full-size futon in the living room. Leather love seat, oversized chair and ottoman provide a comfortable way to watch DVD movies (some provided) or relax in front of the gas log fire place in the winter. The kitchen features full sized appliances to cook even holiday meals. We stock all dishes, cook ware, towels, and basic cooking items – coffee, tea, cooking oil, etc. You are welcome to use the washer and dryer, soap provided as well.

Additional Location Information

The cabin itself is built on seven acres of private owned land in a small rural community in the Kiamichi Mountains. Our community is sparcely populated with over a large area, but folks are close knit neighbors meeting together for a variety of community activities. We have two gas/grocery/deli stations, 4 churches, and one cafe within four to seven miles of the cabin. Talimena National Scenic Byway, famous for its beauty expecially in the fall is about 20 miles north. Honobia, known for the Big Foot Festival is about 18 miles west
We provide (free of charge) access to 4,800 acres of beautiful, privately owned forest with many miles of mountain trails for hiking, dirt bike riding, or ATV riding, except during hunting seasons (Oct 1 – Jan 1 and the turkey hunting week in May). Bring your own dirt bikes and ATV’s, or ATVs can be rented from Ouachita Mountain ATV Rentals, which is about 45 miles from here. They can deliver.

For the hunters, Three Rivers Forest Wildlife Management Area is less than 10 miles away. Also 10 miles away is the Ouachita National Forest which has miles and miles of dirt roads for ATVs, horses, or hiking. There are many cleared and marked hiking trails there.

We are close to Beavers Bend State Park, and Broken Bow Lake, one of the best year round fishing spots in Oklahoma. Fish species include: large-mouth and small-mouth bass, white (sand) bass, crappie, channel catfish, flathead catfish and various species of sunfish. Dirt road access is about 15 miles from here. Access by highway is about 40 miles from here. Eagle Creek flows into Mountain Fork River which is 8 miles south and has great fishing as well. Cedar Creek Lake, home of the Oklahoma state record bass, is also 45 minutes away.

There are several places to rent kayaks and canoes close to the river. They will take the kayak or canoe to the shove-off site and pick them up for you at the end of your trek.

  Loved, loved, loved this cabin!

  Left on 01/04/2013 for a stay in July 2012
  
  

  It is beautiful, unique, and well kept. It is definitely a luxury cabin. We couldn't have found a more enjoyable place to gather with family. The pool table was a huge hit. We made many memories at the firepit roasting marshmallows and visiting on the deck. The hammock is nice! The location is very peaceful, all to itself, with beautiful views of the mountains. The kids liked the rock steps to the creek. I was impressed with the level of detail you put into making us feel welcome. We wished we could have stayed longer and definitely plan to be back.
