About this property
The Retro House: 1950s Time Capsule!
Built in 1950, The Retro House lets two adults (no guests under16) step back in time with furnishings from the 1930s through the 1960s. From the fully working rotary dial telephones to the restored 1957 refrigerator and 1954 stove, almost everything in the home is original to those decades and lovingly curated from three different states. However sprinkled throughout the home are some modern conveniences you would want like a large screen television, microwave, dishwasher, Internet and WiFi. Located in the garage are a modern washer and dryer, an adult trike, or bicycles for your use on the trails, and dumbbell work out gym.
If you only love things that are modern, new, smart appliances, etc., this is probably not the place for you. If you want to say, "I remember these", "This reminds me of my Grandmother's house", or "Wow. Why don't they still make them like this?", then you will understand The Retro House.
The house sits on two city lots with a relaxing front porch and a covered back patio that looks out on seven pecan trees and a nature show of birds and squirrels. It’s also nice to sit under the pecan trees with a book or music and just relax. An added bonus, if you are new to Oklahoma weather, a full storm cellar is located immediately behind the house.
The Retro House is available 2 to 7 days. That’s really the best way to step back in time. Feel the wood floors under your feet. Enjoy a cup of coffee on the front porch and prop your feet up on the wrought iron porch rails. Or just sit under the 7 pecan trees in the back city lot yard and listen to the wind rustle through the leaves as you plan your next adventure in the City.

About the host
Hosted by Karen and Jesse

After doing traveling medical contracts for a few years, I got tired of the boring hotel rooms, so I started looking for interesting places to stay for unwinding on the evening and weekends. Fast forward to now and I have decided to make my retro-themed house available to others to enjoy when I am traveling.
Why they chose this property
Step back in time and stay somewhere that is not an HGTV remodel filled Wayfair-like furniture..
What makes this property unique
This is not an “investment property” that’s been modernized on the inside with HGTV trends like gray laminate flooring and a bunch of furniture from Wayfair. We spent time actually restoring the oak hard wood floors with an oil finish and the bathroom features the original tub (refinished) and hand-set in concrete tile work. We rebuilt the mosaic tile floor as well as installed a sink and toilet from the same year the house was built.
The dining room set is an original “survivor” of the era. The table and chairs are heavy and solid aluminum and steel - not a light weight “made to look retro” set. The living room features a 1954 Philco Princess television that will be fully working when the restorationist finishes the electronics. Another local upholstery shop is has restored a chair and sofa from the same era.
Our plan is to reset the kitchen back to its original glory as well, but in the meantime it features refurbished original appliances from the atomic age.
