About this property

It’s all about the view at Big Sky Retreat! The view is like no other you will find at Grand Lake. Just outside the door is a very large deck with a family room style area, a dining room area and a hot tub gathering area. From each spot the view is of main body of water
From the main floor deck take 8 steps down the ramp leading to the 3 slip Boat House. One slip for indoor fishing. Swim off the dock in tranquil waters inside the wave breaks. The second floor deck is another family room set up with an Eagle Eye view of all the activities. The home has floor to ceiling windows in several rooms which allows you to sit in a cool inside seating area and not miss the amazing view. The 5 bedroom 3 full bath home is very accommodating for families. We live in this home full time so we only rent when we are on vacation so it’s fully stocked. We have an outside “drink room” with 2 refrigerators to store your beverages. The Home is perfect for your Retreat and we feel It’s too amazing not to share!

Thanksgiving Stay

My family and I stayed at this beautiful home for Thanksgiving. Margaret was easy to communicate with and gracious. The views are spectacular and there was plenty of room for us to have our own space.

Beautiful home with absolutely stunning views

We had an amazing time staying a week at this gorgeous home. The pictures really don't do it justice. The outdoor space is perfect, with plenty of dining and seating options, both covered and open patio seating. But the true wow factor is the view. The home sits on a point with unobstructed views of Grand Lake in all directions. We had 2 families stay with 4 teenagers and there was plenty of space. The downstairs room can be used as a second suite with it's own bathroom attached. The kitchen had everything we needed. Fully stocked with all cooking utensils and plenty of dishes. The stand alone ice maker was a definite added bonus. We brought a boat with us and ended up having some mechanical issues with it on the first day. Margaret went above and beyond trying to help in any way possible. Being able to keep the boat at the dock was also super convenient. Overall we had a great time making memories and would highly recommend Blue Sky Retreat.

About the host

Hosted by Margaret Oglesby

Hi I’m Margaret And my husband is Dr Ron Oglesby. We purchased this home 4 years ago and have loved experiencing every season!! I live here full time and he commutes back to his practice in Broken Arrow most days of the week. He always says its worth the drive!
We will be gone on vacation several times this summer so we decided to rent some while we are away.

Why they chose this property

This property truly has it all! From the back deck that has infrared heaters for winter or use our water cooler fan for the summer. To a hot tub that is the perfect spot to relax and reminisce about the days activities. The inside main floor is all open and surrounded with windows with a non stop view of the water. Upstairs has a Huge master suite with a very large bathroom with shower, jacuzzi tub and large vanity. The king size adjustable bed is perfect for watching the smart TV or gazing out the floor to ceiling windows at the moon as its light dances on the water.
The upstairs has a landing with reclining love seat and swivel chair that are perfect for a movie you can pull up on Directv or Netflix on the smart TV. Then 3 other bedrooms which are each a little get away.
The indoor boat house is extremely easy to access. There are two slips with garage doors and one fishing well area with sliding doors. The concrete wave breaks can sustain even the roughest of waves. There is a large floating pad that allows the family to relax in the tranquil waters inside the wave breaks.
SO Relaxing!
