Charming and quiet

The place is cute. Quiet neighborhood. The owners are so sweet and kind. There dogs are adorable. The only thing was the floor downstairs was very dirty and there was no broom so I could clean it. There was garbage in the garbage can and garbage under the main bed upstairs. Other than that clean and cute. The bathroom was overstocked with lots of towels and other stuff, I loved that! We felt like in the pictures the hot tub was on our side at our place but it is not. It's on there deck in front of there windows. We decided not to use it to as no privacy. We looked for the pool and it was an above ground little pool. We felt like it was kinda deceiving. Other than that it was what we needed to relax.

Cozy and convenient

This was perfect. The location to our family reunion at Pickens Lake campground was so easy for us. Having our dog with us was a big part of the goal for our stay. The only hotel I would consider does not allow dogs and the security of us at The Shady Rest gave me peace of mind. Our hosts were gracious and friendly. I highly recommend to anyone going to visit Lake Eufala

Romantic getaway with hot tub

Our stay was okay. We left early mainly because the property was a little different than what I thought we were getting. The listing made it seem as though we had our private hot tub area, we did not. The house was pretty but outdated, and not very clean. There was a distinct urine smell from the bed. All in all not super happy with it

About the host

Hosted by Glen and Kerry Elliott

We are Glen and Kerry Elliott and live here with our friend, Laura Brown. We moved to The Big Sandy Lodge in beautiful Oklahoma to enjoy our retirement years. Big Sandy Lodge is our home with our friendly golden retrievers and a couple cats and chickens too. Pets are not only welcome but encouraged. If you have dogs, we will keep the chickens in the coop. The Shady Rest is our guest house next door to our main house and is a very cozy place to enjoy a cup of coffee, have a Bar-B-Q, or start your own fun.

Why they chose this property

It's green and beautiful and close to the lake. We have boat parking in our large front yard and are close to several launch ramps and Belle Starr Marina. Our private boat slip is just a short walk or golf cart ride away for fishing or swimming. Please do not board any boats without permission.

What makes this property unique

Behind the house is your own private patio, aquaponic pond, and beautiful outdoor scenery for your enjoyment. The decks, front yard pool, hot tub and fire pit are available for your use and play. Please enjoy the hot tub and seasonal pool on the back deck of our Big Sandy Lodge. Or, have a Bar-B-Que on the front deck and a fire in the front yard fire pit or your patio chimenea. Take the golf cart to the lake or the dock to enjoy fishing for Crappie or Catfish.
