Fun lake weekend

This was our 2nd time to stay at Anchor Away. The boat ramp is super close and there is plenty of room to spread out. Also, having 2 refrigerators is super helpful with a crowd!

Great place to stay

The house was perfect for our group of 6 guys. We were there fishing a kayak fishing tournament. There was plenty of parking and the house had everything we needed. The ping-pong table was a huge bonus. The hosts were very accommodating and quick to respond to any inquiries.

Family Pictures

We needed a place to meet up and spend the day with our grown children and grandchildren who were coming in from others states and towns. This house worked great for us! The older kids loved the game room and the large front yard, the 3 babies and 3 toddlers had plenty of bedrooms for power naps. A very nice kitchen and the 2 refrigerators were appreciated!

We had three families of four for the weekend and we were all comfortable with our own space. We enjoyed having two refrigerators! There was ample parking for our vehicles and boat trailer. Cookson Bend Marina is only about a 10 minute drive away. Would stay here again!!

Clean and Comfortable

Great beds, very clean place. Property feels private. Only downside is the dozens of little flies that come inside when you open the front door if you have ANY Lights on inside at all. Even in late November, this was a very real problem, with no apparent solution except to just stay inside. If the fire pit is not your thing, just stay inside, I guess.

Tenkiller Trip

Good property for our guys fishing/golf trip. Only drawback was the 2nd shower (not in the master bedroom). It was small and with the water coming from overhead it made it a little difficult to use.

Our family getaway

We have stayed at this property now for two years. Its nice just not safe for elders the walkway is very treterious. The frige will not shut all the way due to the rubber gasket in the door not on the door. We lost some food due to it getting warm. We booked a new property for next year.

Perfect for a crowd!!!

We enjoyed our stay at Anchor Away! This is a great location for a crowd! Plenty of beds! The ping pong table in a separate enclosed room was perfect for entertainment. Having two refrigerators was ingenious when having 12 people. Soap was included for washing hands. I have not experienced that before in VRBO's (no matter the cost). The owner was available to respond to my questions immediatley. The only thing I would change would be more dish towels (2avaialbel) in the kitchen, a drying mat for all the hand washing of pots that you have to do for a crowd, and a larger trash bin as we felt like we were constantly emptying the trash when it wasn't completely full. Those are very minor and wouldn't keep me away! We made memories! And in the end, that's what counts!

Beautiful property for a family gathering

We enjoyed our time at the cabin . We had family from 4 different states meet up there and there was plenty of room for us all. The only complaint we had, was the amount of rules we had to follow. We were really enjoying each other’s company in the front around the fire but we had to shut it down early to comply with the rules. Also, the walk way into the home is Kind of dangerous hauling luggage and needed supplies while you are staying.
