The directions from the owner gets you to the right location. The directions on the app do not and that’s because of the rural location I know. Just letting you know. Loved our stay!

Beautiful property and cabin (Bear). We enjoyed walking around and seeing nature, including 3 deer! The cabin was so neat and clean. The porch was very comfortable with a nice breeze coming through it. We took the Talimena scenic tour, enjoyed a great meal at Papa's Mexican restaurant in Mena AR, and took a different route back to the cabin so we could take in all the mountain views. We didn't want to leave Mountainview Retreat!

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Snodgrass

Host profile image
My husband, Bradley, and I have been enjoying cabin life for years. His family has had cabins in Southeastern Oklahoma for decades. My love of cabins didn't begin until we got married 20 years ago. Bradley's mother had cabins in the Kiamichi Wilderness that she so graciously let us go to every chance that we got. We lived in the DFW area for many years. Nearly 4 years ago we decided to move to the Kiamichi Valley. The cabin we built here became our home! It has been so amazing waking up to mountain views every day! We have two children, Jake 16, and Max 11. We live near Mountain View Retreat in Tuskahoma. We hope you will enjoy this beautiful part of Oklahoma as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

Mountain View Retreat is a wonderful getaway! We found this property while looking for the next chapter in our lives. As soon as we saw it we were hooked! It simply took our breath away with the amazing mountain views! There is ample space on the property to roam. There are woods to explore, personal fire pits per cabin, plus another fire pit by the covered bridge, 3 ponds, and porches with grills to enjoy.
