About this property

One of the Best You’ll Find! Peace & Quiet - Comfort & Charm;

40 wooded acres of pure peace in the Kiamichi Mountain region of SE Oklahoma. Secluded. Fenced & gated. No neighbors. Hiking trails and tranquil gravel bottomed creek. Modern house/rustic charm - adjoining picturesque Lake Nanih Waiya - This cedar covered cabin is a little piece of luxury in the heart of Kiamichi Country. Just 4 miles from Sardis Lake State Park boat ramp - 5 miles from Clayton. 1/2 hour from Robbers Cave. Just 1.5 miles from the Choctaw Nation Council House, this property has a confluence of 2 creeks that feed into Lake Nanih Waiyhi at the properties edge. Room for parking your boats, RVs and 4-Wheelers. Easy to get to, paved road and city water. The house sits a couple hundred yards back, amid tall trees, surrounded by a heavily wooded tract - so expect an abundance of wildlife. It is directly across the street from the boat ramp road. Fully stocked kitchen, washer/dryer and an Amazon Fire Stick for the Smart TV. All you need to bring is groceries.
If you're longing for what I call "the startling absence of man-made sound", you can get it here in a comfortable, new, stylishly earthy setting. It's also an excellent "base" for exploring the area's many beautiful attractions.
If you've never been to Southeast Oklahoma, it looks like the Alleghenies of West Virginia and Pennsylvania - or Asheville, NC. If you're researching a trip, search these key words to get a better idea: Winding Stair Case Mountains, Talimena Scenic Drive, Choctaw Council House - or if you're an Off-Road fan, check out The K-Trail of Oklahoma. It's right here. There is abundant internet lore on the perils, adventures and disasters of the K-Trail. From boulders, to bears to Bigfoot - it is NOT a casual trail. One 8 mile stretch took us 4 1/2 hours in a 4X4.
We call this house "The Fishing Cabin" because it's next to the lake and so close to Sardis Lake as well.
It's actually a modern house with city water, super quiet central air/heat & granite counters.
The town of Clayton has several restaurants, grocery store, pharmacy, auto parts, tire store, liquor store, Dollar store and a hardware store. We have parking for Boats/RVs or motorcycles.

Very nice cozy little home

Very nice home with great amenities. Nice, secluded property with a running stream beside the home. We saw no wildlife during our stay. Not even a squirrel or rabbit. There was a lot of hunters and gunshots happening around us. There was a lot of rain prior to us getting to the cabin and the driveway had puddles and it was a bit muddy around the cabin. It is very dark there so make sure and take a flashlight. You are going to need it for the 2 combo locks.

Serenity Now

We stayed two nights at this property and the experience was fantastic. The home was updated and clean. The property was grand with more things to see than we had time to see it. Did I mention the close proximity to the history of this part of Oklahoma. If you like quiet time and a ton of things to see and do, you owe it to yourself to try this place for a unique time.

Tuskahoma Cabin

Property was set back off main road, inside was nice; outside needed a little yard work. Thought the lake was on property, actually across street , Lake Naniwha park needed maintenance as well. But did not stop us from enjoying ourselves. All in all nice little cabin.

A Little Slice of Heaven

Our trip was just like going home to see MeMaw and Papa! We are lovers of all things nature and had a front row seat to a variety of birds, deer, raccoons, squirrel, turtles. fish, tadpoles and armadillo. Our boys loved the watchful eyes of the Superhero's stationed around the property!! The sounds of early morning and evening (owls and coyote's included) are exactly what you need to let go and reconnect. Great fishing just across the road and neighboring buffalo give one a sense of time standing still. A great swimming location is about 5 minutes away and NO TRAFFIC. We enjoyed cooking on the grill and topped off our final evening with a batch of homemade ice cream! If you have a longing for "home", this is the place! We'll definitely be booking again.

Peaceful Retreat

This is our third visit to this property. We love the quiet and my husband likes fishing across street and at the dam. Internet is quirky but that’s due to the location and no fault of the owner. Beds are comfy I love the little electric fireplace. Only suggestion I have is replacing the sofa. I highly recommend a visit to this gem in the woods!

Relaxing spot

Great spot to get away and relax or to go fishing. The cabin is very comfortable and has good views of the mountains and neighboring pastures. An unexpected plus was watching the neighbor's cattle as they cropped grass along the fence line - surprisingly relaxing. If you like to fish, you can try your hand at the small lake across the street.

This place is always great for getting away from the hustle and bustle of the big city.

We always enjoy our stay here at the cabin. If you are looking for peace and quiet and a place to fish, or simply ride around and look at the countryside then this is the place. You may hear a goose honking or see some deer but that’s about it. The fishing is always good across the road at the lake. If you’re into birdwatching, this place seems to have some different and interesting birds and I might add the biggest squirrel I have ever seen in my life. The owners are always Johnny on the spot if a need arises, but that is very rare. Awesome place to rest up and recharge !

Cabin in the Valley

Located in the valley separating the Winding Stair and Kiamichi Mountain ranges, this cabin is a great place to stay and is a great base from which to see and enjoy all the area has to offer. Quiet, lightly traveled area close to in-town services.

Fishing cabin

Really nice cabin for fishing on nearby lakes and streams. Cabin was as advertised; clean, quiet and efficient...is not a luxury model but updates are recent and nice. Host was responsive and informative. Will rent this property again for fishing or hunting in the area.

You want fishing? This is your place

Didn’t realize how awesome this place would turn out to be. The cabin was excellent and had everything we needed to have. Fishing was amazing. 7 straight days of fishing and every day we caught. 23” was the winning fish. Also eating out was good. Three local dinners and gas stations. I would say be ready to visit same location several times or be ready to prepare your own meals. This place was great and would recommend to anyone to stay.

About the host

Hosted by David

Host profile image
We travel a lot. And we've been using VRBO for years. This part of Oklahoma is a hidden gem - just beautiful rugged country in the classic eastern (of the Great Divide) sense. Our farm is nearby and we're committed to helping others discover this fantastic escape so surprisingly close to Dallas or Tulsa or OK City.

Why they chose this property

This land had an old shop on it with a hand dug well through the slab in the main room! More importantly, its Creeks feed the Lake. And the fishing is excellent! We thought it deserved protection and preservation. The name, Nanih Waiya is sacred to the Choctaw people.
The first capital of the Choctaw Nation in Indian Territory and the earliest seat of government established within Oklahoma, Nunih Waya was located approximately one and one-half miles west of Tuskahoma in present Pushmataha County. Nunih Waya (Nanih Waiya), meaning "bending" or "leaning mountain," was originally the name of a sacred Choctaw mound in Winston County, Mississippi. According to a tribal origin myth the Choctaw, or "red people," emerged from beneath the knoll.

What makes this property unique

Close to everything in Southeast Oklahoma. Robber's Cave, Honobia's Big Foot Festival, Choctaw Museum and Council House, Clayton State Park, Sardis State Park, Talihina Scenic Drive, K-Trail, Clayton, Nashoba, Talihina and Oklahoma's Wildlife Management Hunting areas.
