Family friendly log home has great lake views from huge deck!

Lakeview Escape at Tenkiller is your home away from home. Escape the busyness of life with a great view of Lake Tenkiller from inside looking through the two-story floor-to-ceiling windows or from outside on the 500+ square foot upper deck. This large, serene, log cabin boasts all the comforts of home and more from a fully equipped modern kitchen, a gas grill on the patio, a full-size ping-pong table in the screened-in breezeway and a large wood-burning fireplace in the 2-story vaulted living room.

Enjoy your morning coffee on the large deck overlooking the lake, always keeping an eye out for the deer and other wildlife that like to frequent the 2-acre wooded property.

Once the lazy day gets going, you can enjoy lounging around the house or deck, play one of the several games or work a puzzle we've provided, or just catch some rays. Spend the afternoon at the beach a few minutes away or at Tenkiller State Park which offers a great swimming pool, playground and hiking trails. You are also only 5-minutes to a boat ramp if you bring your boat with you. Other options are to enjoy the waterfowl and wildlife viewing at Sequoya National Wildlife Refuge. or you can enjoy a drive to Tahlequah for a canoe adventure down the Illinois River.

Enjoy your evening with a home-made meal on the back deck, once again overlooking the lake and watching for wildlife or try out one of the many unique restaurants this area has to offer.

Then, gather the family around the fire pit for some smores or to just watch the fire and reminisce about your day.

After a full day of fun or relaxation, escape back to the cabin for a wonderful night of sleep in one of the many cozy beds in this large, family friendly, log cabin.

Some of the features of this cabin are:
- 4 bedroom, 3 bath cabin which sleeps up to 14 people (no more than 11 adults)
- 3 of the bedrooms have king-size beds, the upstairs bedroom has three bunkbeds.
- Great view of beautiful Lake Tenkiller can be enjoyed while lounging on the deck, sitting by the outdoor firepit making smores or inside warming by the fireplace. We provide the marshmallow sticks you need for the smores!
- Large patio with plenty of comfortable outdoor seating and a coffee table fire pit as well as an outdoor heater and large umbrella.
- Baby friendly with crib, highchair, baby monitors and safety gates everywhere!
- For your entertainment at the cabin, we have internet, four smart TVs with Direct TV, horseshoes, corn hole, several games/puzzles and a ping pong table in the breezeway as well as several toys for your little ones.
- Late October, we enclose the breezeway and set up heaters so you can still enjoy the room.
- Cabin is fully furnished with linens, towels, and a fully equipped kitchen. All you need to bring is your food, drinks, clothes and favorite toiletries.
- Another bonus is that the cabin is beautifully decorated at Christmas!

We are sorry, but animals are not allowed.

Wonderful experience

This property is fantastic. The hosts are kind and responsive, the views are phenomenal, and our overall experience was wonderful. I've never stayed in a vacation home that was so thoughtfully stocked with anything a group might need. This trip was just adults, but we have anyway discussed staying again soon with our children as anything a family could need is provided.

Absolutely amazing!

The property is beautiful, and the owners are amazing. We cannot wait to come back here. We had a blast and went on two beautiful hikes. This cabin literally has everything you could possibly need, and with me being 6 months pregnant i can't wait to bring my little boy here one day. The cabin is centered around children which is amazing. Thank you for a beautiful stay.

Family Reunion

This property was great for all 4 generations that stayed here for our annual family reunion. Very kid and adult friendly. They have included everything you need to have a perfect vacation. The breezeway was a great playroom for the kiddos and we all enjoyed the awesome deck/patio. Thank you for the awesome memories we made here.

Perfect escape!

This home has everything needed for a great stay for families or couples traveling together! We stayed with our kids and grandkids and cooked all of our meals there. The deck is huge and was perfect for morning coffee, hanging out, and meals. The younger kids enjoyed the toys in the screened in porch area. The bedroom/bath off the screened in porch was super for us grandparents as we went to sleep a bit earlier and didn’t have to worry about noise from the kids. Great communication and support from owners if needed!

Best VRBO house !!

Wow !! The house was amazing ! Went down for spring break with 4 families and had a blast ! Despite a rainy Saturday it was still a great home to watch Movies , play ping pong , prepare meals together, and just visit . I have never been in a vrbo house that was so stocked !! They have thought of everything and plus . Would recommend this house for other friends and family . Plus great beds , sheets , blankets and the toilet paper was better than what I have at home .

Fun with family

Our family had a wonderful time at lake Tenkiller over the July 4th week. Rangling our bunch together always takes some doing. The house is beautiful and peaceful. Plenty of room for everyone. The house is well stocked and taken care of. The views were fantastic. We left rejuvenated and happy. If your taking a boat, I suggest that you get a slip for your time there(which we did being there a week). It’s tough getting one in and out of the area but doable. Thanks for a great time. We will be back.

Perfect place for a get-away.

We loved the gathering spaces both indoor and outdoor. The cabin was cozy yet offers space to get away and appreciate the beauty of Lake Tenkiller. The kitchen was stocked perfectly with everything we needed and more. The beds were comfortable and the linens were ample and luxurious. The kids loved the bunk room and the master bedroom away from the main house was wonderful! These owners have left no stone unturned. This is a lovely cabin with every you could possibly need for a beautiful stay. Also this house is meticulously maintained and extremely clean!!! Beautiful views. Quiet neighborhood. We will be back! (Ps: excellent WiFi and huge Direct TV package).

A perfect place for reconnecting with friends

I recently stayed at this property together with a group of high school friends celebrating the 52nd anniversary of our graduation from high-school. For the past 26 years we have gathered annually to share old and new memories and celebrate our friendship. This year we were fortunate to discover Carma and Russ' beautiful home at lake Tenkiller. The stay was just perfect. The expansive decks had 3-4 separate seating areas. Perfect for gathering as a group or breaking up into smaller conversations. The weather was pretty warm but the AC was more than equal to the task. We grilled on the deck, used the entertainment system to watch the College World Series. The property was convenient to other activities. One day we drove to Tahlequah to play golf. Another day we went to Strayhorn Marina and rented a large pontoon boat. We called Carma when we couldn't find the grilling utensils. She had the house keeper purchase another set and bring them to us at the cabin. Incredibly responsive. Our group had guys that came from Los Angeles, Atlanta, Santa Fe,Dallas, Stillwater, Tulsa and Perry, Ok. My group was able to focus on renewing our friendships because Carma and Russ made sure the cabin clean, well equipped. My group is already trying to put together another trip in the fall to enjoy the beautiful fall colors. Thank you Carma and Russ. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Amazing property!!!

You can stop looking for your Lake Tenkiller get-away and book this property. You won’t find any short term rental that has thought more about your comfort and convenience. The property itself is immaculate. All the bedrooms have high quality linens and coverings and good mattresses. You will feel like you are at home. Plenty of space to move around and store your belongings. The closets even have hanging organizers! The living room has reclining couches for almost everyone in the house. No fighting over the comfortable chair. And if you need additional seating, they have folding chairs and table in the laundry room. Perfect for a family reunion. And the kitchen! It has everything you need to cook for one or cook for 21! You can even choose what kind of coffee you want- Keurig, French press or drip. I can’t begin to list everything they had in this kitchen. But if you need it- they have it. And if you forgot to pack something- they probably thought to have it in the cabin. I forgot a charging block for my phone- and they had a USB power strip on the bedside table. The bunk bed had enough plug ins to keep 5 teenage girls happy. And the kitchen had some items you just expect to have on hand and might have forgotten. They even had wood for the campfire available! And they don’t skimp on the household supplies. Full size dish soap, trash bags etc. Some short term rentals limit these so much it becomes hard to keep it all clean. Easy check out too!

Fantastic home with everything you need to have a wonderful getaway with comfortable accommodations for a large group. We’ve stayed countless vrbo properties and definitely feel like with this house you get the most bang for your buck. If you forgot to bring something chances are this house has it. We will undoubtedly return annually. If you’re trailering a boat that’s longer than 27 foot you may wanna rent a slip at a nearby marina due to limited length in parking area. A

Family Time

We had a wonderful stay at Lakeview Escape! The cabin was very clean and stocked with all your needs. The owners/property managers were very helpful and responsive during our stay. We had 6 adults and 8 children (ages 8-16) and had plenty of space for everyone to sleep comfortably. A few of our favorites: firepit, hanging out on the deck, and the breezeway room for the kids to hangout! Thank you Lakeview Escape for the memories!

Spring Break

I take my kids and grandkids on Spring Break every year. This property is at the top of our list of places we've visited. The view from the rear deck and living room is absolutely incredible. The home was fully stocked, beds were all comfortable, and living room cozy. I highly recommend this property and we will most definitely be coming back.
