Scissortail Retreat

Scissortail Retreat is our family's lakeside property just outside Stratford, in the rolling countryside of southern Oklahoma. Four homes sit on a quiet, parklike property with two private lakes, wide lawns and big shade trees, and each has a covered patio looking out over the grounds.

Days here are simple. Paddle one of the complimentary kayaks, take the little bass boat out, or fish from the bank or the dock; guests say the lake is a hidden gem for bass. Read a book in a swing by the water, let the kids run on the lawn, then grill on the patio and watch the sun go down over the lake. At night, the country skies are dark and full of stars.

Private Lakeside Retreat

Enjoy a quiet and private lakefront alternative to Broken Bow, no traffic, just a large property with plenty of room to stretch out and build memories.

Shared with the other guests

The kayaks, bass boat, game room and grounds are shared by the guests of all the homes. The hot tub has a privacy panel. Guests coordinate so each group can have their own private time.

The Little Wren Shop

Our small on-site shop is open around the clock, with homemade baked goods, cold drinks and sweet snacks, plus T-shirts, caps, beaded bracelets, flip-flops and other handy extras for a day by the water.
