Will stay again when visiting family. Convient and ground level, which is important to us. VERY clean and AC worked like an igloo, which we like. Staff super friendly and professional. Resturant on site closed for Mother's Day but Big Red's across street was good food and good service. Thank you Tenkiller Lodge for a great graduation weekend, Karen and Bruce

We love staying there as it is quiet and inexpensive yet the rooms are decent and comfortable. They don't give enough towels eventhough you put there would be four people in the family. They maybe are kids but they need towels too. We will stay there again.

Its was so easy to check in, they were very nice, it was available when no one else was, and even when my wallet was stolen and I could not pay for the room on time. The office was very understanding and allowed me to go make a way to get the money and pay for it. Without kicking me out of my room. The room's essence when we walked in was so comfortable and welcoming. After staying in the slums of near by motels. It was like heaven on earth and the beds are so soft. NOW the heating/air unit works like charm weather it's high 80's or low 40's...

Quiet & cozy

Cozy, quiet out of the way place to stay with plenty of parking. Very roomy, comfortable bed and furniture, has small refrigerator/freezer and microwave. The only drawback for me was there was no blowdryer, so bring your own if you need one. Has a great restaurant across the street called Big Red Restaurant. It's only a short walk to get there. Great food, great service, and affordable.

Almost a great place to stay!

It was priced well, it was also clean. Location was very good. The AC/Heater would not adjust, we were very cold during the night, until i turned up the heat on low, but it continued to heat up until I turned it down and then it would get to cold. My wife and I both left with sinus congestion, which made for an uncomfortable night of sleep. Almost a great place to stay!

Make sure you try the pie at Nancy's!

The room was very clean, and plenty of towels and washcloths were provided. It had a real key instead of a key card, and it took me a little bit to figure out how to open the door because it had a locking doorknob and a dead-bolt using the same key. I kept locking one while unlocking the other, and I couldn't tell which one I was locking. Make sure to go to Nancy's for some pie to stuff in your pie-hole. LOL I didn't have pie. I had strawberry sheet cake with ice cream on the side. The only thing I found a bit frustrating is the mattress kept shifting several inches off the box spring. It really needed something to hold it in place. Oh, and the TV wouldn't work right, kept saying "no signal" but it really wasn't an issue for me because I had my laptop with me and the wifi had a strong signal with plenty of speed. So I just watched movies on my laptap. The clerk said she'd come down and re-program the TV, but I told her no need, I was fine with my laptop. I stayed four nights while I was in Tahlequah for a conference. It was quiet for the most part, except plenty of police sirens at all hours. Which I thought was a lot for a small town, but I live in a town with a population of 500, so I don't get out much.

Its a very cozy, country setting. A diner right acrossb the road. Easy access. The only draw back I could say is the tv options were minimal. Just local stations, no cable.
