Great stay!

It is a 2 bedroom with a loft (not a 3 BR) but was very accommodating and the hosts were communicative and extremely understanding of concerns! The house is simply adorable Very quaint neighborhood and conveniently close to choctaw, making it very pleasant to stay off properly without breaking the bank! Checking in and out was a breeze! Would glaldly rebook in the event they are available our next trip!

About the host

Hosted by Brian DeCuir

Host profile image
Hello! We’re Brian and Elvira. In 2019, we traded the West Coast for the Lone Star State and haven't looked back. When we aren't managing the 'Hive,' you’ll usually find us outdoors with our two sons, hosting movie nights, or discovering new favorite local eateries.

The Magnolia BE-Hive is our first vacation home, and it’s a true labor of love. We named it after the iconic magnolias of Durant and as a nod to our partnership (Brian & Elvira).

As local Texans, we take great pride in our community and our home. Our goal is to provide a space where memories are made—whether you're here for a high-stakes weekend at the casino, a university milestone, or a productive business trip. We’ve poured our hearts into making this 'Hive' a comfortable, curated retreat, and we are so excited to share it with you!

Why they chose this property

We first discovered Durant during a visit to the Choctaw Casino and immediately fell in love with this historic home’s character. We chose this neighborhood for its rare combination of tranquility and convenience. It is the perfect 'escape' while remaining incredibly central:

3 Mins: Downtown Durant & SOSU (Perfect for graduation or local dining).

7 Mins: Choctaw Casino & Resort (Close enough for a quick trip, far enough for a quiet night's sleep).

Short Drive: Lake Texoma (Easy access for boating and fishing).

We love that we can enjoy the energy of the area’s attractions and then retreat to a quiet, residential street. It’s a side of Durant that many visitors don’t get to see, and we’re excited for you to experience it!"

What makes this property unique

"We were immediately drawn to this home’s historic soul and architectural character, which dates back nearly a century. It offers a unique blend of 1930s 'bones' and modern, investor-updated finishes that create a bright, inviting atmosphere.

The Highlights:

Grand Proportions: You’ll notice the 10-foot ceilings and expansive windows right away—they fill the home with incredible natural light that a modern build just can't replicate.

Modern Essentials: The home features updated flooring, contemporary fixtures, and a refreshed kitchen designed for easy group meals.

Thoughtful Comforts: While historic homes are known for their 'personality,' we’ve worked hard to enhance the space for our guests. We provide additional cooling fans and localized climate solutions in our sun-kissed upstairs loft to ensure everyone stays comfortable during those warm Oklahoma afternoons.

The Magnolia BE-Hive is a special gem for those who appreciate the charm of a vintage home paired with the convenience of a modern interior. It’s a curated, cozy retreat that we’ve loved personalizing for our guests!
