The perfect place
This was the second time we stayed here for a girls weekend and it was amazing again. The weather was wonderful and allowed us to use the kayaks. Fish were not biting real well but we loved being away and enjoying the time. I have already booked again for my family to come back.

Clean house, unkept grounds
We had a great stay here with family. The house was well kept and clean. We enjoyed kayaking in the pond. Although, we had to clean out the wasps nests before using them. Unfortunately, the exterior photos of the property on the listing were not accurate. There were lots of weeds around the house even the front entrance and pond. The trails were un walkable as the grass was so tall you could not see where you were stepping. This did not ruin our stay by any means, but was disappointing as we had hoped to fully enjoy the land.

Great location. 10-15 mins from downtown. Spacious property with a big pond. Would be a great location to stay if you’re drawn in to the McAlester Ammunition plant hunt.

3rd Visit!
We love staying here when we attend our family reunion. Peaceful, comfortable and clean. My mother grew up just down the road at the lake. She remembers this being a minnow farm with several small ponds. Highly recommended but hate for the secret to get out! Thanks for sharing your property.

Five Stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‼️
What a wonderful experience!! Amazing property. Cozy and clean home. We had a great time exploring and fishing (Bass, big Crappie & Sunfish). Enjoyed seeing the wildlife (armadillos every night by the house, deer in the evenings, raccoons at the big lake) Shane was awesome. Fast responses, easy check in/out. Hoping to go back to McAlester again next year and definitely will be staying at The Nest at Cedar Creek. Thank you Shane.!

Place where the deer will roam
The first thing I noticed about this property was the amount of deer and other wild life on the property. This little slice of heaven is very peaceful with alot to see in nature and is not far from the lake. We cooked in the ready kitchen and played a couple games from the cabinet by the washer and dryer. There is also horseshoes outside and we enjoyed the cornhole setup. We will definately recommend this awesome place and the price was just right!

Beautiful and serene
This was an amazing home. The property is probably one of the most beautiful we have stayed at. The kids managed to catch 6-8 small fish and they thought they had climbed Mt Everest. We also did a tiny bit of kayaking and once again, it was another hit. The kids saw 4 different Armadillos roaming the property and I believe we saw a beaver. The humming birds came so close to us on the porch that my Granddad held out his finger hoping one might land on his hand but it never did. The home is well kept and well stocked. If you want a home to get away from it all, that’s the place.

Wonderful Family Place
From the time we got there to the time we left we had a great stay. The open fields, ponds with fish, kayaks, and rockers were perfect for our grandkids to run and play. Location was perfect because our family was not far and we could all visit and catch up with each other. I am sure we will be back on our next Oklahoma family visit.

County living
We miss living in the county since we moved to KC. The nest is so private. The driveway is lined with trees. Both ponds are pretty and easy to fish. The area was well mowed allowing us to fish and walk around the property. The home was well stocked , very clean and comfortable. Will be back!

Fishing Getaway
Great secluded getaway. We went for the private fishing and it did not disappoint. We received great hits on both live worms and artificial lures. Along with the bass we caught, we caught some of the biggest perch I have seen in a long time. And we caught more perch than we could count!

My family and I absolutely love this place! I find a peace here that it's hard for me to find in other places. We'll definitely be booking again soon!
The pictures are beautiful, but they're an understatement of the real experience. A beautiful place of peace! Compared to all the places I stayed in Oklahoma, this one by far is my favorite.

Our stay
This place was exactly what we wanted. It was not too far from home and was full of the peace and quiet we were hoping for. The ponds were amazing and we all had a blast catching fish in both. The boys kayaked for hours. Overall, it was one of the best trips so far.
