Family reunions,. Large families. Plenty of room. On Lake Hudson

About Linda Garrett

We purchased the property adjoining ours with dreams of opening an INN and building an RV park. It has taken a lot of work and determination to make our dream a reality. I wanted a place where families could come, relax, enjoy the lake and just reconnect with each other. I love to entertain, decorate, garden, go junkin' and act as 'camp counselor' during the holiday weekends. You will find antiques and horseshoes used to decorate throughout the resort. I love rusty tin and it is used on ceilings, walls or back splashes in the Bunk House as well as our other cabins. My next dream is to start hosting country weddings with lots of burlap, red bandannas, hay bales and big wagon wheels as decorations. I already have a beautiful, shady spot picked out on the lake shore for the ceremony and the reception area will be in the bunk house.

Why Linda Garrett chose Mayes County

My original dream property was not large enough to fulfill all my wishes. So, when our neighbors put their property on the market, we scooped it up. So, I'm still living my dream, just on a bigger property. The INN has a great setup. I can rent just the downstairs area if I choose, as there is a separate entrance that can access the second floor. Downstairs walls are 8" thick block/rock, so you are never disturbed by noise from upstairs or outside.

What makes this House unique

I love the INN because of the great layout, fabulous lake views and there is plenty of space for everyone. The back wall, facing the lake, is a wall of windows. So no matter where you are, you will have a fabulous view of the water and wildlife. We love to watch the deer come across the lower yard in the evening to drink from the lake. We've seen red fox, beaver, raccoon, armadillos, possums, squirrels, and birds of all kinds and colors. My favorites are the Orioles and Cardinals. We have even seen wild hogs and deer swimming across the lake. (I didn't know they could swim either!) I also love the wrap around porch. There are swings, benches, and out of the way seating areas placed across the property that will just call your name and invite you to take a seat and enjoy the surroundings. Most comment on how quiet and peaceful it is, and I agree, unless there is a game of volleyball or softball going on!
