The pool will re-open by the end of April. The owner shared seasonal above ground pool and year around hot tub are available for your use.

Romantic getaway with hot tub

Our stay was okay. We left early mainly because the property was a little different than what I thought we were getting. The listing made it seem as though we had our private hot tub area, we did not. The house was pretty but outdated, and not very clean. There was a distinct urine smell from the bed. All in all not super happy with it

Cozy and convenient

This was perfect. The location to our family reunion at Pickens Lake campground was so easy for us. Having our dog with us was a big part of the goal for our stay. The only hotel I would consider does not allow dogs and the security of us at The Shady Rest gave me peace of mind. Our hosts were gracious and friendly. I highly recommend to anyone going to visit Lake Eufala

The teenage boys were off the devices! What more could you want?

I loved this place for my teenagers. It’s easy to pick a hotel but teenage boys need nature. They need dirt roads and docs to jump off of. A lake to swim in. A real adventure. They loved the pool and the hot tub. This was just such an enduring experience. While the boys had their outdoor country adventure I had a hot shower and a beautifully decorated home. Beautiful kitchen. Lots of bed arrangements. Don’t let those mini splits fool you - they cool the house beautifully. Keri was so kind and hospitable. So down to earth- even gave us farm fresh eggs. If you are a hotel person maybe this won’t be for you. But we loved it. The teenagers loved it and that’s a win in my book. Praying to see you again next summer!

Very pleasant experience

The owners, Glen and Kerry were very hospitable and friendly. They stay on the same property so they were very accessible anytime we had any questions. I loved that we could take our doggo with us. Lincoln loved being able to run around in the big yard and walking down to the lake with my husband and I. The house was very clean and perfect for our little weekend getaway. Also, the hot tub was divine for a relaxing evening after the days activities, and while the owners were on property we were afforded plenty of privacy. Overall we had a great first experience and would definitely go back to The Shady Rest.

My wife and I had an amazing weekend here. It was very cozy, clean, and peaceful. The hot tub was awesome! It was a great way to relax after a long work week. Glen and Kerry were awesome! Love the fresh eggs they gave us and their dogs are beautiful and super friendly. I would highly recommend staying here. Location is nice, right in between Checotah and Eufaula.

Such a cute unique couple that we now consider friends! Great people to work with! Easy place to find, power hook up for our boat batteries, spacious, comfortable and clean! We can’t wait to stay there again on our next tournament outing at Lake Eufaula. Definitely gonna make extra time for the hot tub and back yard setting! They are friendly, helpful, and conversational great host! Something we love to see! Much appreciated.

One Night Stay

My husband, our two dogs and toddler had a one night stay at Shady Rest while we were visiting family in the neighborhood and we really enjoyed our time there. My only complaint was that the floors were pretty dirty and I had to make sure that my son and I were wearing shoes at all times because I forgot to bring socks for us. The hot tub was also not working. I loved the dog friendly patio and the couches/beds were super comfortable. We also couldn't figure out the smart TV, it was under the amenities listed, but we couldn't find out how to get to Netflix or any of the smart TV apps, so it may be useful to have some instructions on it. Luckily we ended up not really needing it. I was pleasantly surprised that it was actually bigger than it looks in photos, had a nice filtered water pitcher in the fridge and was quiet despite being pretty close to neighbors and the owners. We will definitely stay here again!

Anniversary get away

We were able to relax and get away from the day to day responsibilities. The location is quiet and near a finger of the lake so you can access the lake quite easily. It was very hot on our trip, so it was very comfortable in our little house with the mini splits. Our hosts were very kind. They have some beautiful dogs. Very friendly.
