About this property

Dark Sky Guest House on Flagpole Mtn; King Bed w/Loft, view of Sardis Lake

The Guest House on Flagpole Mountain is located in the heart of The Choctaw Nation, Oklahoma.

Stargazers will love our dark skies at night and will enjoy views of Sardis Lake and Wolf Mountain during the day from this tiny Guest House on Flagpole Mountain - the perfect location to view the stars, crawl the rocks at Green Acres Offroad Park, or fish at Clayton Lake State Park and Sardis Lake.

Bring your mountain bikes, ATVs or SXS and explore the old Fire Tower at the top of Flagpole Mountain or check out Umbrella Rock. The Guest House is located at the top of Walter's Mule Trail, so you can unload and ride to Green Acres directly from the cabin.

When you're done playing, relax on the porch and watch the clouds form a blanket over Sardis Lake.
Our Guest House has high-speed wi-fi via Starlink, so bring your computer if you need to sneak in a video call before you hit the lake!

The Guest House on Flagpole Mountain is situated on a working farm, which includes chickens. One dozen farm-fresh eggs will be provided to guests during each visit, and additional eggs are available for purchase. If you're bringing children, let us know if you would like to meet the chickens or gather the eggs from the nest. Firewood is also available on-site.

Your privacy is paramount. You may see us from afar, working on the property, but we will never interrupt your vacation for small talk. The Guest House has its own private entrance/gate, and the driveway loops to another gate for pull-through parking.

The Dark Sky Guest House was awesome. The pictures dont do it justice. The fresh eggs were a nice touch and the cat came and hung out with us by the fire. Just a word of advice plan on getting food or anything else you need in town before you head up the mountain. Over all had awesome time. There were plenty of things to do, board games provided, go to the fire lookout, and even some disc golf.

Cozy Stay

My family and I enjoyed this place. We stayed further down the road last year and with the big sign helped finding it with ease. The location is beautiful and check in and check out was super easy. Really enjoyed the fresh eggs that was provided! The kids were invited to feed the chickens and that was the talk of the day.

Cozy and clean property with one-bedroom and separate sleeping loft (for kids). Kitchen was adequately furnished for preparation of simple meals. Bed was comfortable and there were plenty of towels in the bath. Weather was a little on the warm side so it was nice to have the A/C. Location is 4 miles up a mountain track so it takes about 15 minutes to get to town for shopping. We really appreciated the fresh eggs! The chickens visited the property numerous times - as did the cats and one of the dogs. We love visitors!!

This guest house was AWESOME! It is really beautiful and perfect. Inside the fridge the property owners left us some eggs that the chickens from the property had laid. There were chickens outside to greet us and even a friendly dog named Jenny. The property owners are amazing! They were very hospitable and they treated us so well. Mike took us up the mountain on his side-by-side to see Fire Tower and Mushroom Rock. He mentioned that they will soon offer renting out the side-by-side and it is worth the rental for the mountainous landscape there. I highly recommend that you stay at this guest house if you want an unforgettable experience!

Mother Son trip

My son and I were seeking an adventure in a cabin in the woods and boy did we get it. The drive up flagpole mountain really set the tone for the beauty and isolation you experience. From the moment we booked out communication with the owners was fantastic, they were so hospitable. The tiny home itself is deceptively spacious. That king bed is very comfortable and my son mentioned his twin bed upstairs in the loft was very comfortable as well, and for an 11 year boy to notice it must be cozy. Everything was very clean and it really felt like home. We were greeted by the sweetest dogs and cats as we roamed the grounds and enjoyed the views and the peace and serenity. We are looking forward to returning as we go explore more of Robbers Cave State Park and the entire area, there is so much to enjoy if you love the outdoors.
