I will absolutely stay here again. When you drive up the cottage is absolutely charming with a very inviting enclosed front porch which comes in handy. The reason mosquitoes you can open the screen door, leave your things as you are unloading and then at night you can leave on the front porch light to easily open the front door. There is a circular driveway so no turning around you just drive away. There is a cute entryway with two chairs where you can slip off your shoes so everything stays nice and clean, which opens into the living area. To your right up a stair is the dining room where we spent most of our time on through to a good sized kitchen. Off the kitchen you will find a nice laundry room so you don’t have to go home with dirty clothes if you choose. Off the dining area is the first bedroom with a very comfortable queen bed and ample bedding, pillows and a nice size closet. If you turn to the left of the dining area there is a short hallway the first door on your left is the first bathroom complete with shower. On the right is the fully stocked linen closet. At the end of the hall is the primary bedroom with a super comfortable bed with brilliant linen s. This bedroom has a walk in closet with plenty of room to hang your things plus shelves to stack anything that is folded. I felt right at home. The primary bathroom has double sinks, great lighting a full length mirror and best of all a shower curtain you don’t have to fight.

Amazing Stay

I can’t begin to express what a wonderful pleasure our stay was. From the beautiful setting, to the ample room, only eclipsed by the amazing hospitality this is a property I’d recommend highly to someone looking to get away while still being minutes from convenient options.

Amazing Experience!!

Family of 19 had planned a float trip at War Eagle resort. Some camped and some prefer a modern air conditioned place to sleep. I rented this property as my choice and a place to keep some of the younger kids or over flow sleepers. This was an amazing choice. Big comfy beds in both rooms. An amazing host. A very cozy

Quiet with great indoor & outdoor entertaining spaces.

Property is within the perfect distance of both the Illinois River (5 minutes from All-American floats & 15 minutes from Eagle Bluff) and Tahlequah (10 minutes) to downtown. Had all of the necessary utensils, pots, pans, and even a gas grill which was absolutely needed after a long day of floating. Perfect outdoor space with a TV and 2 ceiling fans that was covered and screened in along with a smaller one which was perfect for morning coffee. Quite the gem! Would recommend staying again.
