Our Story
We are Glen and Kerry Elliott and live here with our friend, Laura Brown. We moved to The Big Sandy Lodge in beautiful Oklahoma to enjoy our retirement years. Big Sandy Lodge is our home with our friendly golden retrievers and a couple cats and chickens too. Pets are not only welcome but encouraged. If you have dogs, we will keep the chickens in the coop. The Shady Rest is our guest house next door to our main house and is a very cozy place to enjoy a cup of coffee, have a Bar-B-Q, or start your own fun.
Behind the house is your own private patio, aquaponic pond, and beautiful outdoor scenery for your enjoyment. The decks, front yard pool, hot tub and fire pit are available for your use and play. Please enjoy the hot tub and seasonal pool on the back deck of our Big Sandy Lodge. Or, have a Bar-B-Que on the front deck and a fire in the front yard fire pit or your patio chimenea. Take the golf cart to the lake or the dock to enjoy fishing for Crappie or Catfish.

This cute, cozy and comfortable garden cabin is secluded from the rush of life. Located down Texanna in Sandy Bass Bay 3 (Jane's Jungle), this house is a close walk or golf cart ride to Lake Eufaula, Oklahoma beaches. We are within a mile of two launch ramps, and not far from Belle Starr Marina or Porum Marina and launch ramps.
