The Little Lake Shack

Discover the enchantment of a cozy cabin with a captivating treehouse ambiance! Elevated living on the second floor provides picturesque tree views. Unwind on the expansive screened patio for games or family dinners. Bring ATVs, boats—ample driveway space awaits. An idyllic post-play retreat, just a mile from Cookson Bend Marina and The Deck!

This delightful 2-bed, 2-bath cabin comes complete with a spacious screened porch, ample parking, and a cozy fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs. Nestled among tranquil trees for ultimate privacy, the primary bedroom features a queen bed, and the second boasts a full-over-full bunk bed. The well-equipped kitchen includes essentials like foil, cooking oil, ziplock bags, and spices. Enjoy the screened porch for games, ping pong, patio seating, and a dining table.

For added security, the front yard is fenced, with gated stairs ensuring safety for pets or children.

A $150 pet fee applies for up to 2 pets.

Note: The second bathroom, located on the first floor in the laundry area, is basic but functional—perfect for a quick shower after a hot day, and it includes a toilet.

Great Fishing

The cabin was really nice and accommodating, great for a family of 4. I highly recommend, the host was responsive and answered all questions. Not tons of close food options so be prepared to cook. I highly recommend fishing on Lake Tenkiller, we hired a guide for two days and caught over 40 Bass.

Perfect Little Cabin

This cozy cabin was perfect for our needs! My husband, our 14 yr old son and myself were in Cookson for the Bassmaster Jr/ HS tournament. The location was perfect! We were close to the tournament ramp at Chicken Creek and used the Cookson Bend ramp for practice days. It was super convenient! The cabin was a peaceful place for the boys to relax after being on the water all day and a great place for me to enjoy some peace & quiet while they were gone! Ha! The property was super clean upon arrival and we had everything we needed for our stay. There was plenty of spacious parking for our truck and boat trailer. Also, want to give a shout out to Brooks for answering my panicked questions about storm shelters! During our stay we found ourselves under a tornado watch. I have a little bit of storm anxiety and messaged him to ask about a safe place to hunker down in the event that watch turned into a warning! He was so gracious to ease my mind. We truly enjoyed our stay and the Cookson area. We would definitely look for this property again upon visiting the Tenkiller lake area. Be sure to visit Tahlequah if you find yourself here! Beautiful town with very rich Native American history. Loved my visit to the Cherokee National Heritage Museum.

Perfect Anniversary getaway for my husband and I. We were very pleased with all the lil touches throughout the property that made it feel like home away from home. And the fenced in yard for our pups was perfect!
They mastered the stairs during our stay!
