Bougie Bunkhouse Under the Oaks: Kisatchie Vista GLAMping cabin +Outdoor Theater
Welcome to The Bougie Bunkhouse—Kisatchie Vista’s latest gem, where luxury meets natural charm. Nestled beneath the sprawling canopies of legacy live oak trees and enveloped by local flora, this cabin offers a retreat like no other. Bask in the refreshing cowboy pool, gather around the fire pit or patio for movies under the stars, or simply savor breathtaking views of rolling hills, towering pine forests, and grazing horses across the driveway. You'll have access to miles of trails and creeks.
The Bougie Bunkhouse at Kista Vista Glamping is the perfect place for couples, family, and friends to gather. We are located right in the heart of Kisatchie National Forest area, with a creek across the lane and miles of trails right here. Sparkling quartz countertops and luxe finishes greet you as soon as you unlock the door. This glamorous tiny home offers a four poster Queen bed with Zinus green tea memory foam mattress and a Serta queen-sized pullout sofa bed.
The canopy of legacy live oak trees envelop the site, making it a true nature retreat without giving up one comfort of home. The outdoor areas were thoughtfully located to honor the landscape of our historical area. The outdoor theater offers the experience of movies under the stars with stereo speakers and a pulldown, 120" projector screen. You can soak or float in the stock tank pool or enjoy our swing or various seating options and watch DVDs or streaming services on the projector. ** Pool is closing for Winter on Oct 20. If you would like it re-filled, notify us a few days prior to your stay. There will be a $50 service fee for Winter use as a cold plunge.
Our Coffee and Snack Bar and outdoor Dirty Soda Bar are something we worked hard to make truly unique with a great selection of flavorings, teas, coffee and more.
You will be on about 20 private acres, bordered by a historic homestead built in 1901 (tour available) and our horse farm across the road. Access to Campground Creek is a short walk across the road, and there you will find amusement of watching fish swim and access to our private trails. This land was part of the Trail of Tears and steeped in WWII history as well from the Camp Claiborne training days of the 1940s. Historical and nature tours are available with a little notice.
**There is no digging or artifact hunting allowed on any of our properties. This is a protected area.
ADD-ON EXPERIENCES: Enhance your experience with a tour of our 400+ acres on site and just down the road. You can book a private swimming hole experience for a half or full day, tour the farm and meet our horses and ponies, and we are also licensed to perform marriages. We would love to make your stay as fun and relaxing as you imagine. Packages will be offered after booking, and you can reach out with any questions or to customize your stay.
**We also have Clark's Cabin just two minutes down the road if you plan to gather with another family or group. Click our profile and you will find it as Solitude at Kisatchie National Forest.
