About this property

Crystal Creek Ranch - Stunning Lodge on 500 Acres with High-speed Internet

Welcome to Crystal Creek Ranch (CCR). NE Oklahoma's newest vacation destination. 55 minutes from Tulsa and 80 minutes from NW Arkansas, we are perfectly located. CCR comprises just shy of 500 acres in NE Oklahoma. CCR is an outdoor paradise for you and your guests. In a world filled with iPads and cell phones, CCR allows you to relax outdoors for a couple days or a week if you so choose. (Don't worry, we provide high-speed wifi for all our guests!) We are only 15 minutes from rafting on the beautiful Illinois River offering you the chance to raft during the day and sleep here at night.

Bring your ATV's, RTV's, dirt bikes and more. You will stay in our brand new barndominium, with over 3,700 sq feet of living quarters. 5 separate bedrooms with Queen size beds downstairs with a large 1,300 sq ft loft that contains 6 bunk beds. Water, sewer and electricity along with 3 bathrooms and a fully stocked kitchen make your stay like a home away from home. Outside on the porch is a large flat top propane grill for all your flat top grilling needs along with a smaller charcoal grill as well. We also have a 75" Flat Screen Television with DISH Network along with a Foosball table and arcade game table.

Come explore the almost 2 miles of spring fed crystal clear creek that wanders throughout the property. Picnic tables and hiking maps exist for your family to explore the pasture land and wooded timber. And make sure to tag a photo when you find the cave! Families and groups both will love the ability to escape and spend time in the woods everyday while being able to sleep in comfort at night.

The sunrises and sunsets are to die for as you're immersed in total silence sitting almost a mile from the nearest road. Enjoy the pictures below. And for the ultimate experience, go stay in our "Haunted Cabin" for a night.Contact us today to book a weekend or a full week for your family to get away or a group of friends to spend a weekend. For those interested we also offer a very limited amount of archery hunts in the fall

THE BEST BARNDO ON THE RIVER!

We have an amazing stay every time we stay here! It accommodates every need from space, to views, and distance to entertainment. We will never stay anywhere else when we come to visit and float the river! If i had to give a con...maybe supply ricks of wood for the firepit. We bought some from town so not a big deal but that really the only thing i could say if i had to say something 'bad' or recommended. Otherwise, we will be backevery year for many years to come! Thank you!!

Fantastic place to explore the outdoors and have fun with a group

Communication with property owner was easy. The place was great inside and out. Plenty of options for outside cooking. We had a group of 14 guys. Most of us play disc golf. There was plenty of space outdoors to set up baskets and drive disc. The creek was a short hike away and had beautiful views. 10/10 would come back.

Nice surprise

Crystal creek Ranch was great. The building was spacious and very comfortable. The trails were easy to walk and enjoy the out doors. All the appliances worked perfectly, and the kitchen was well stocked with pot, pans, knives, silverware, and dishes. The spice cabinet can in handy. Thank you for making our retreat a success. The ladies want to return next year to one of your properties.

Great place for a group!

We LOVED this property. Out in the country so we didn't bother anyone with our music or late nights. Plenty of TP and towels which at a place this size is sometimes lacking. We hope that they will have us back. Group of 13 40-50 yr olds and it was PERFECT!

The Barndaminium was awesome with its open floor plan but still gave our family a feeling of closen.

We loved the Barndaminium. It was very warm and inviting for a large space. The interior decor was beautiful and homey feeling. The acreage around the property was perfect for walking, hiking and riding recreation vehicles. The winding creeks we’re awesome for relaxing in the cool spring waters. We would definitely recommend this property and will probably visit there again.

Summer Family Weekend

Our group consisted of my wife and me, three children and their spouses, and 8 grandchildren. This is an annual summer event for us. We explored the creek, and the grandchildren explored the Haunted House. The Saturday tube float on the Illinois River was great! The barndominium was really nice, because everyone was able to see each other all of the time. We highly recommend this for any large group. Looking forward to our next stay here.

Great vacation

It was great. Very well equipped. Very spacious. Took time for details that made us feel like home. So many items provided. Even though we were well packed. They offered so much that all you need us clothes and food. The hostess answered all my question in a very friendly way. He was quick to call us. I will definitely stay there again. I actually regret not booking it work the entire week.

Amazing Spring Break Getaway

We had an amazing time at Crystal Creek Ranch! We had a group of 20 which included 8 kids under 7! Adults and kids all had an absolute blast exploring the land by walking and riding go-Karts and ATVs! The house was exactly as described and had a fully stocked kitchen along with stocked toiletries for the entire stay. We’ve been to many different places over the years and this was by the far the best experience. The owners communicated very quickly with us from the day of booking until checking out. We were able to go shooting and chill by the bonfire all day everyday! The sunsets were to die for while the starry nights brought smiles to our kids faces while we enjoyed s’mores! If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway- this is a great place for that! We were able to see deer from the back porch and even found multiple antler shedding throughout the property! Would 100% recommend this place to anyone and we plan to come back soon!

Ideal for Groups

We enjoyed our small staff retreat at Crystal Creek Ranch! The spacious house was perfect for meetings with our team. We loved the functionality of the kitchen and living spaces and the bedrooms/bunk area were perfect for us! Also, the hosts were extremely easy to communicate with and very accommodating! We hope to go back next year!

Family get away

We stayed at the Barndominium August 11-15. We had 6 adults and 3 children (11, 4 and newborn) We had the best time. The living area is beautiful, the kitchen is well stocked, and the owners were Great and very responsive! The land is beautiful. We brought our UTVs and spent every day exploring the trails and the creek. We also floated the Illinois River which was beautiful. Perfect place to stay if you love the outdoors!

Amazing Property for a Group!

This property was just as described and Jared was an awesome host! We couldn't believe all of the well thought out appliances, amenities, and little extras that were provided. The kitchen is top notch, the beds were so comfortable and the space was perfect for a group who wanted to float the river but not stay at one of the float places. We were only about 20 minutes from one of the float places. The flat top grill made cooking for a large group easier and the view from the porch was gorgeous! Our group can't wait to come back!
