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.

Drivin' the Scenic Byway
My son and I really enjoyed our stay at the Guest House on Flagpole Mountain. We drove up from Dallas to drive the Talimena Scenic Byway and hike some trails. The dozen farm fresh eggs were delicious. The owner/manager was very helpful. I would definitely stay at the Guest House again.

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.
