Rental Cabin/Condo in Tulsa, OK
 
I know, it sounds like an odd request. I am helping an employee who will be going with 5 others women (6 total) find accomodations in June. I have found regular hotels, but that is really not what they are looking for. I found a property called Rebel Hill Guest Ranch, which looked PERFECT, but it is booked the entire time they will be there. If anyone has any ideas/recommendations I would really appreciate it - this lady has done TONS for me - great employee, and I always encourage my staff to travel whenever they get the chance!

I live in the Tulsa area. I can't find a telphone listing for Rebel Hill Guest Ranch. When I do a search online I find one, but it is near Atlers, Ok. That is about 3 hours from Tulsa, near the Oklahoma-Texas state line. Are you looking for something in Tulsa or someplace you can drive to from Tulsa?

I am looking for something IN Tulsa - yes, after I researched the resort I realized it was a 3 hr drive. However, this is the kind of place they are looking for.....any suggestions?

I don't know of anything even close to providing what the Rebel Hill Guest Ranch showed on their website. There a a few, and a mean a few B & B's in the Tulsa area, but no ranches. You do realize this is a city. Not a large city, but a city. There are over 500,000 people in this area. You don't find too many ranches in the city.

You might want to look at the Skelly Lodge, a few minutes east of Tulsa. Built in the 1930's by wealthy oilmen as a hunting retreat, it's been updated and used in recent years for weddings, private parties, etc. It has guest rooms for overnight stays. The group would probably have to book the entire lodge. It's likely to already be booked in June for weddings.

Other non-hotel options would be the McBirney Mansion, a beautifully renovated old mansion now open as a B&B. I'm not a B&B fan, but I would definitely stay there. House is large, food is good, and owners don't live there. Again, it's often booked for weddings. It's a few blocks from downtown Tulsa.

Also, there's Inn at Jarrett Farm, a rural B&B with individual cottages, nice restaurant and pool about 25 minutes north of Tulsa. It's more of a couples' place.

I know you're looking to recommend something rustic, but if any in the group are Frank Lloyd Wright fans, there's Inn at Price Tower, 45 minutes north in Bartlesville. It dates from the 1950s, and I think it's the only FLW highrise ever built. It currently operates as a hotel and restaurant. It will be booked mid-June for the ten day OK Mozart Festival.

Back in Tulsa, the only other non-chain accommodations I can think of would be at the Ambassador in downtown Tulsa. Originally a 1920's apartment hotel, it was renovated about five years ago into a boutique hotel. The Chalkboard Restaurant on site is very good.

If your group is set on something more rural, you might try cabin or condo rentals in the Grand Lake area about 90 minutes northeast of Tulsa. Northeastern Oklahoma has lots of lakes and all of them are going to have cabins and condos to rent.
