Spend a weekend or two in one of our luxury cabins, and while you’re in the area, check out two of springtime’s top events. Dogwoods in bloom are a sure sign spring has arrived—and that’s worth celebrating! Idabel, Oklahoma, does just that with the annual Dogwood Days Festival, scheduled for Saturday, April 6, 2019.

Even skeptics enjoy a little fun. And that’s just what you’ll find at the annual Honobia Bigfoot Festival on October 5-6 in Honobia, Oklahoma. La Flore County—where Honobia is located—is considered a hot spot for Bigfoot sightings in Oklahoma, one of the states where sightings have been reported. Signs of these occurrences include strange wood-on-wood knocks or powerful taps and vocalizations that range from whispers to whistles to thunderous roars. No sightings are expected the weekend of the fest, but lots of fun times definitely are! The Bigfoot Festival will be held on the grounds of the Kiamichi Mountains Christian [...]

Once a year for the past 40 years, Kiamichi County in Oklahoma has produced a festival to showcase the natural beauty, heritage, and industry found here. This year’s Kiamichi Owa-Chito Festival of the Forest will be held June 15-16 in Beavers Bend State Park. The forest has played a large part in the history and culture of the area, so it’s fitting that forestry competitions are a major event of the weekend. Featuring men and women who make their living from the woods, the contests include double buck sawing, ax throwing, Jack ‘n Jill crosscut, and Bull-of-the-Woods selection. The family-friendly [...]

Arguably one of the prettiest times of the year in southeast Oklahoma, spring brings that wonderful reprieve from winter; warmer weather lets us again enjoy the outdoors without so many layers, and the region is awash in the beauty that comes with springtime blooming. And dogwood trees are an area favorite when it comes to spring blooms. Since the late 1730s, dogwood trees have been used as ornamental additions to landscaping here in the North America. Some credit Thomas Jefferson for the tree's increasing popularity in the late 1700s, as he did his best to spread these trees through his [...]

Most people agree: they love outdoor fall festivals. The weather is cooler, making it particularly enjoyable to be outside. The fall colors offer a beautiful backdrop and provide leaves crunching underfoot. And one can not help but realize that the year-end holidays are just around the corner, making the talented fall craft vendors your very first stop when shopping for those gifts. If you are one of those who enjoy all things "fall festival", then head to Broken Bow... and specifically the Forest Heritage Center in Beavers Bend State Park on the 2016 weekend of November 11, 12 and 13 [...]

There is so much happening in McCurtain County this July, we just had to tell you about it! The month starts out with a bang - or several of them, considering Independence Day's traditional celebratory displays - and continues on to some fun area events.

What first started as a celebration from a father to his newlywed daughter, this local tradition has become one of the oldest continuous rodeo traditions in the state.
