Skiatook Lake Guest House

Pipes were frozen they upgraded to main house from guest with more room for no additional cost awesome people to deal with

The house was just right for my husband and me. It had what we needed for a weekend family wedding stay and was close to the venue, so really convenient too. Much nicer than the block of rooms in downtown Tulsa would have been. The extra touch of a few holiday decorations made it feel more like home too. Julia was very prompt in replying to us as well. Overall, a vey nice stay!

While the cabin sits beside Skiatook Lake, it did not have great access or view of the lake. It was a short walk or drive away from such views. It’s not luxury; it’s appropriately quaint, exactly what I needed while on a retreat. The cabin can sleep 6 or 7, but it should be noted that the two beds and two couches are all upstairs in a single space. This wasn’t a problem for a solo traveler, but others should be aware. My only complaint with the sleeping arrangements was that the upstairs can get toasty, even if the AC is turned to 68. I’m no electrician, but I think a fan would fix this. The living space was always comfortable and cool, and I took several naps on the comfy couch. The TV was a bit small for my liking, but I didn’t come to the lake to watch TV. That being said, there is great WiFi, should you need it, and cell service. This is not true of most of the area, so I appreciate the property owner not making this an unplugged retreat. The kitchen was well furnished had I needed to cook, and I appreciated the tea bags each morning. The fridge came in handy for all of my treats from Tulsa, which is appropriately far away, about 25-30 minutes. My only other qualm was that I feel like the nightly rate was a bit expensive for the cabin, especially considering the beaches at the lake were closed. I think $100/night would be fair, but I have no understanding of the effort that goes into this, so take this with a grain of salt. The property owner is 10/10 though.

It's a super cute little house, but one of the reasons why we picked it, is it indicated it had a hot tub. So, it was a little disappointing getting there to find there wasn't one. Also, not sure why the description listed a spa/tub as well, there was only a shower. It was lacking a way to view the lake unless we used the main house deck next door, which was offered to us because it was not being occupied, otherwise we wouldnt have had any way to see the water. All in all the stay was great. The house was cozy and clean. Just what we were looking for, minus the hot tub.
