There was just one other couple riding with us, which made it feel more personal and relaxed; not crowded at all. The horses were well-behaved and mostly stayed in their own line, so even if you're not an experienced rider, it's easy to get comfortable pretty quickly. The ride itself takes you through the woods and along dirt roads, with a few inclines and declines mixed in. It's not overly challenging, but it's enough to keep it interesting and give you a good feel for the terrain. We weren't able to cross the river due to all the recent rain, but that's obviously out of their control. Even without that portion, the ride was still worth it. Overall, well run, enjoyable, and something we'd definitely do again the next time we're in the area.

You can really tell that it is taken care of. There are 2 cute bedrooms! Perfect for a family of 4, or 2 couples! We stayed in the bedroom upstairs. It is a loft with a gorgeous view to your left and right! There's a balcony where you can enjoy your morning coffee. No matter where you are, you have an amazing view in this cabin. We brought sausages and steaks for dinner the two nights we stayed! There is a microwave, an oven and stove top. You can cook up a gourmet meal if you'd like! They have utensils, dishes and bowls. Pretty much everything you'd need. We had a fire going the whole time here! Never ran out of firewood. This was such a treat. If you are wanting to bring your pups, this is a pet friendly cabin! It's $25 a night per dog (2 dogs max). Worth it to bring them as they are family too! If they have an opening, take it! This is a great spot you don't want to miss out on!

I hate to be effusive but, once inside, the phrases didn't stop. The cabin is at once elegant and unassuming. It's simply built and decorated in a wonderful way. I can't say enough about the quality of the craftmanship. No worries about 'pictures not matching the experience' with this property. You won't be let down and left wondering if the photos were actually taken at the place in question. Here, the photos don't do it justice. It's nestled in the woods with trees all around, but has a convenient drive up so it's not a hassle getting luggage inside. The views are stunning, and the appointments super comfortable, from the beds and linens, to the shower/bath features and amenities, to the Apple tv casting, letting me cast from my Apple phone/ipad onto the tv (we were able to download movies to our ipad then cast them to the tv for viewing). We're hoping to hop in the hot tub on our next visit! And, don't think that just because you're 'in the woods' you're cut off from civilization! There is plenty of "support services" nearby, including night spots, restaurants, and so much 'outdoorsy' stuff to do. If you're looking for a 'little cabin in the woods' that is superbly comfortable and simply a delight to look at, then you'd be hard pressed not to give this beautiful place a look.

Located in Timber Creek Trails South, the lodge is minutes away from Beaver’s Bend State Park, with renowned hiking, boating, swimming, fishing, golf, paddle boarding and horseback riding. The nearby Mountain Fork River offers canoeing and kayaking, from gentle floats to exciting rapids in season. And, if you want to simply kick back on the property, there’s plenty to enjoy. Watch whitetail deer stroll along creek at dusk. Or, hike the adjacent Ouachita National Forest just yards away.

The view is spectacular, the units are beutifly decorated, are very unique and have everything you will need to prepare a homecooked meal. I docked 1 star bc our unit did not have window coverings so we were forced to wake up way earlier than we wanted ( it might, that was 2 yrs ago) but other than that they were perfect. This is the gem of Antlers but that being said is a lot bc overall, Antlers is a dumpy town with lots of rednecks that dont keep their homes and yarss kept up so much of the towns neighbirhokd look very old and run down and there is a big drug proble.in town and absolutleh nothing to do, it is quite possibly thr most boring, depressing place ive ever been so bare that in mind if you plan a visit here bc kids will quickly get bored and if you ever consider moving here, bare in mind the schools have lots of bullying issues, especially towards new kids or if their parents buy them toys and dress them nice bc the kids are very jelous bc many of the.parents ae poor or are farmers and cant fo anywhwhere so the kids literally never get to go anywhere fun and never go on vacations (majority) , there are a few that do .

We brought a picnic and the fur babies and made a day of it! The only tiny complaint was the QR codes were scratched out so there was no way for people to pay for parking. A sign update is definitely needed but this was during the government shutdown so I'm sure that wasn't available. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked, trails were in excellent shape, trash cans were pretty full due to all the people but not overflowing. If you can make it on a week day it would be a lot easier to find parking. This is an Oklahoma must do!

They have a carnival and inflatables for kids too. But this state park itself is one of my favorites. I've been going since I was a child, and the lake is so beautiful. I love to rent a paddleboat! They have yurts to rent, putt putt golf, and a snow cone/coffee stand that has become better and better over the years. The lookout kitchen is finally open after that whole debacle with the state, but I need to go back and try it. The building is beautiful though and right in the water. We've camped here in our RV too, and the spots are spacious, quiet, and very woodsy. It's always fun to hike up to the cave too. The history of this area is so cool. The trails are great, and there are options for ability levels. I always go green or yellow. You can often find people rappelling too! Definitely give this state park a try.
