| Comments: (8/8/09) - "We spent 1 night at Big Cabin and our stay could not have been better. The facilities were excellent, very clean, the stalls were large and each had a turnout area behind the stall. Our room was very comfortable and clean. We were confronted with a storm (60 mile an hour winds) on I-44 and Sandy walked me through it giving me updates on the weather condition ahead. She ordered food for us at a local truck stop, met us at the gate (10:30 at night), helped us get our horses settled in and get us settled in. She even called the next day to see if we had arrived home safley. She and her husband are wonderful people and I highly recommend Big Cabin to anyone needing a place to stay between Joplin, MO and Tulsa, OK.". . . (8/19/09) - "We had a wonderful time at Sandy's horse motel. She and her husband went out of their way to make us comfortable. I would stay there again if I were on the road. Very nice and clean facilities, for the horses as well as our room. I had a broken leg at the time we stayed there and they were very helpful to make sure I didn't fall.". . . )9/4/09) - "Sandie and her husband were so helpful and understanding. I was on my way to their facility with 2 kids and a 33 year old horse when I was caught in a twister. This caused me to bunk down sooner than I wanted. I called Sandie and let her know what happened and she understood.The next day I was able to stop at big cabin and Sandie and her husband were so nice. My horse was able to run in the arena while I took a nap in the office. So, If you plan on traveling, stop in and say hi; you wont regret the stop.". . . (11/3/09) - "Very nice couple & beautiful property. They do competitive mounted shooting & it was great fun to watch.". . . (5/17/10) - "My son is attending College in Odessa Texas. He is on the Rodeo team. He travels from Texas to Indiana twice a year. Being from Indiana, Big Cabin, Oklahoma is about the half way point. Sandy and James Duke are super people. The facility is first class. Easy access from the interstate. I know whenever we are heading to Texas we will stop there. I would recommend this stop to anyone.". . . (6/23/10) - "James and Sandy were awesome! My trailer broke down at the Big Cabin exit. They came and picked up my horses, myself and my dogs. It was a long week dealing with trailer issues, but they were very supportive and bent over backwards to make my stay enjoyable. Couldn't have a more wonderful place to be during very stressful times!". . . (3/13/11) - "Wonderful people, great facility, guest rooms were better than most hotels, horses got a good nights rest in a clean stall and run. Will stay again!". . . (5/23/11) - "Sandy and James were tremendously helpful in all aspects of our stay. When the weather turned bad, they allowed us to stay extra days until it cleared so we could travel safely. Their ranch is beautiful and well maintained. I would come back here in a minute.". . . (5/24/11) - "I recently spent 3 nights @ the Big Cabin Horse Motel (Duke Ranch). I'm at a loss for words because my ENTIRE stay was AMAZING! The Duke Ranch is beautiful, clean, safe & the Dukes are so kind to open their home and facilities to out of town guests. I did not travel with horses on this occassion, but was in town for my daughter's graduation and I am so glad I chose their facility. I plan to stay with them again the next time I visit Oklahoma.". . . (7/29/11) - "Thank you so much for letting us stay at your ranch. You are all so welcoming and your facilities are really nice. If I am coming this way again with my horses I will definitely be back. Wish we could've stayed longer; it would have been great to hear more about your mounted shooting and how your father is in the Cowboy Hall of Fame. Sorry we had to leave so early this morning but it's the only way we'd make it back to Michigan before nightfall. Hope you have a great rest of your summer and thank you again for the bnurgers on Thursday; they were very good. We really appreciate your hospitality.". . . (11/7/11) - "I stayed here when traveling from Michigan to Texas to drop one horse off and to pick up another horse. The facilities were awesome; loved the large stalls and the walk out pen attached to the back of the stall. The room was very nice as well and we enjoyed our stay there. I would definitely stay there again and recommend it.". . . (11/21/11) - "I needed a ten-day stopover between competitive trail rides in Missouri and Oklahoma and the Dukes were the most accommodating hosts I have ever met. My two Arabians were given a 4-acre pasture to rest and run in, and I had electric hookup and water for my living quarters rig. I cannot say enough good things about the Dukes. I would highly recommend them.". . . (2/27/12) - "Was very grateful to have the opportunity for my horses to stay in a pasture.The accommodations were perfect after a long day haul. Very helpful and friendly people. What a lovely find! Will definitly stay there next time I come through." | |||||||

| Comments: (5/5/10) - "Mossy Rock is a very nice place with a roomy apartment or suite. Robert & Delores were very friendly & helpful. Even offered to help load the horse if needed. We were welcomed with homemade cookies & a dessert made expecially for me. (without dairy products). Breakfast was excellent. I would highly recommend Mossy Rock Guest Ranch." | |||||||

| Comments: (7/14/02) - "E.J. came to the interstate to show us in, at about 11:30pm. We spent 2 days there and had a great time. He and his family are excellent hosts. E.J. and I spent a lot of time together - rode on his ranch - played in his round pens - petted his animals. I wish to stay with him again and am proud of finding a new friend. He is what I would describe a real cowboy to be.". . .(1/19/03) - "Came and got us so we could follow him to place. My horse was so relaxed and happy with surroundings he was laying down when I went to load him the next morning. He only did this at two other places on our two week trip.". . . (7/2/03) - "Our 2 horses were not happy on this cross-country move. Upon leaving the morning after they stayed, my mare would not load into the trailer. E.J. offered to help and spent a long time with her; she finally loaded - his help was so appreciated! He and his whole family could not have been more accommodating and friendly!. . .(4/16/04) - "My Mom, Dad and I stayed at this place twice last year. Our stay was wonderful. The Roberts are the friendliest hosts you can ever meet. The facilities are nice. I highly recommend this place!". . .(12/16/04) - "Good horse facility. My PLUS was that an RV electrical hookup was on the property just far enough for perfect privacy. It was a few miles off the main hwy. (I-40), but worth the trip. Friendly folks.". . .(12/28/04) - "Great place to overnight. We stay here all the time and they treat you the same every time. I highly recommend them.". . .(5/4/06) - "The hosts were terrific--we had a flat tire on the highway, so didn't arrive till 3:30 am. They were very understanding, and very helpful the next morning in finding a shop to replace the tires and so forth.". . .(9/21/07) - "Once again we'll be using Jr's place to travel from Santa Fe, NM to Tennessee. Our 4th stay. RV hookup is perfect on the property.". . . (4/26/09) - "We have a 40 foot motorhome with a two horse drag trailer and there was plenty of room. They had 10 30amp hook ups. Pens were large and safe. EJ, wife, and grand daughter were great people and a lot of fun to talk with. We will stay at Cedar Hill Ranch any chance we get. If you want to be around a down home place give them a try.". . . (5/7/09) - "I wish I could say I met the Roberts, as niether one was home the the whole night. His apology came on the telephone as he was directing me to his place. Told me to put my horse anywhere I wanted. The barn was clean. The dogs were good company! I think I fell in love with OK at your place. Thanks.". . . (11/3/09) - "I'd like to say that E.J. and his family are outstanding, down to earth people. They were more than friendly and took great care of my Mustang. It's a great cowboy atmosphere , with beautiful views and a very clean ranch. I will definitely use him agin when I travel. Thanx for the great experience, E.J., and your daughter is the fiestiest cowgirl in the west. And also, thanx for the great tips when my mustang hurt his hock.. best wishes, yhall. Brandy Wolford Gibson.". . . (7/26/10) - "E. J. and Faye's facility was extremely clean. They were friendly hosts with well-kept pens, both covered and uncovered, for the horses. We personally recommend use of the their facility and plan to visit there again when we are on the way through the area.". . . (10/28/10) - "Just overnite, arrived at dusk and out by 8am, Good place.

(12/18/10) - "EJ is a true horseman and we will be forever grateful for the assistance with our problem loader, who now loads beautifully. Thanks for a great stay. The Hampton Inn nearby was very nice. While they don't accept pets they do have a kennel available at the hotel.". . . (2/3/11) - "EJ you are a true saint. We stayed a night at EJ's Ranch after going through a horrendous winter storm. He waited up real late for our arrival. Set us up with stalls water and thawed out our frozen water buckets. Would recommend the Cedar Hill Ranch to anyone. You were a life saver EJ and thanks to Faye for guiding us to your place. All the best and thanks for the superior service and support as distressed mariners. Thanks from the Canadians from Ontario.". . . (4/21/12) - "Hey EJ; thanks for putting us up again in April.

Will stop again.". . .(3/23/05) - "This being our first experience leaving a horse at a motel, we were very nervous about the whole thing. That is until we met Michelle.We stayed a few days at 4 Winds and we were made to feel at home the whole time.

Michelle did everything to make sure our brief stay was outstanding. Super clean facilities that have been well thought out to create the most comfort for each horse that visits.

It is a very secure, safe and clean place to keep your horses. Although it was a bit of a drive to our hotel it was worth it for all the good things about this facility.". . . (4/12/12) - "Hey there, Michelle. We thank you so much for making us feel so welcome when we got to your place. We really enjoyed our stay with you." | |||||||

Definitely recommend without hesitation!". . .(4/2/05) - "Very nice facility. The Murrays were very helpful. Easy access and close to food, gas and people motels. My horses would stay again.". . .(10/13/06) - "This was absolutely a great place to stay!! He met us at the road as it was kinda a tight squeeze with my trailer and made sure we got in safely. The barn and stalls were very nice and he allowed us to turn our horses out in a pasture lot. There was a gate at the entrance so I knew my horses were safe. I will definitely stay there again. Thanks so much!". . .(11/13/06) - "This was absolutely a great place to stay!! He met us at the road as it was kinda a tight squeeze with my trailer and made sure we got in safely.

Thanks so much!". . .(3/29/08) - "The Murrays are great horse people. So kind and helpful; always went the extra mile. We stayed two nights and are planning to stay again on any return trip through Oklahoma. Best place we stayed on a 2000 miles trip from Florida to Colorado. Wonderful facilities and always clean with hot water, parking, security and friendly people. Thanks, John." . . . (4/10/09) - "Thank you for making our stay easy while traveling!!". . . (10/12/09) - "I would just like to take a moment and thank the Pampered Horse Inn for making my trip to TX easier. I traveled from Wyoming to Texas with my 2 quarter horses and had the pleasure of staying at this facility. Out of all the Oklahoma listings, this one was simply the best in quality of care, friendliness, facilities, and safety. I am very particular with where my girls stay and I have not one complaint with the amenities. Fantastic!!! I would highly recommend to anyone.". . . (2/23/10) - "We stayed 2/12/10 and again 2/20 & 2/21. We needed to stay the extra night the second time due to winter storms where we were headed. Dave was the most gracious and caring host to our two horses. He allowed us to drop our trailer at his place for two days to allow us to see OK City while we waited out the storm. He even moved our rig around since we were not used to the tight turnarounds. I will recomend Pampered Horse Inn to all. Thanks Dave.". . . (3/3/10) - "This was a major move for me 1/2 way across the country due to relocation of my job and moving my horse. Mr Murray was extremely reassuring in our phone conversations. He called me while I was traveling; gave me explicit and GREAT directions. When I called him to notify him of how close we were to arriving at his farm, he met us at the gate and led us in. He was so helpful and gracious. The stall that my horse was given was clean with fresh water waiting. Mr. Murry allowed me to turn him out in one of his pastures for some early morning running which my horse took full pleasure in. If I ever have to do this again, I will definitely use his facility. Thank you so very much for your great hospitality!". . . (3/16/10) - "Excellent facilities, very clean and stall was ready when we arrived with water and bedding. Close to several restaurants and hotels. Highly recommend to anyone needing to overnite horses in OKC. Thanks, | |||||||

| Comments: (4/1/09) - "Claude is a great host. He has probably forgotten more about horses than most of us will ever know. This is now a regular stop for us when we travel from Texas to Arkansas.". . . (7/9/10) - "I was so impressed with Claude and Pat Lively, their facility, their hospitality, and most importantly their knowledge and years of experience in the horse business. My husband & I are relocating to Oklahoma from Ohio, and a safe, clean facility for my two horses was paramount to us. Well, we found it at C&P...huge pastures with wonderful grass, a sand riding area with very good footing, 2 round pens, spacious/safe stalls, 24-hour access for our horses. Their horses look terrific, and I feel confident that our two will be taken care of with much "TLC." We are blessed to have met the Lively's.". . . (6/27/11) - "Talk about going "above & beyond" - the Lively's are a little off the beaten path, but a beautiful ranch overlooking Eufaula Lake; wish we had more time to admire the view! First of all, they graciously talked us in, even meeting us at the end of their road to escort us in late at night, & helping change a trailer flat in the morning.". . . (9/23/11) - "Claude and Pat were EXCEPTIONAL hosts. I spent two weeks with my two horses at their facility and felt like I was a part of their family. I never had to worry about my horses being safe, fed, or well cared for under their supervision. Claude "The Horse Whisperer" was absolutely amazing. His wealth of knowledge was boundless. You could not leave your horses in better hands. I appreciated them driving to one of my Barrel Races to watch my horses perform. Thank you much.". . . (11/29/11) - "We enjoyed our stay with Claude and Pat. Claude is an expert on horse care. He assisted with our horses and provided great travel advice along with additional lighting to load pre-dawn. Both Pat and Claude are superior hosts. We will stay with them several times per year." | |||||||

Very comfortable and friendly.". . .(11/4/07) - "This was a wonderful place to stay. The hosts were very friendly and the facilities were excellent! Would definitely come back again!". . .(11/26/07) - "Vicki and Danny were very friendly and accommodating to us. The apartment was very roomy, clean and comfortable. It was easy to find and not far from Hwy. 412 or downtown Tulsa. The apartment even had internet access. The accommodations for our horses were great with your choice of a turn-out pen with loafing shed or stalls. Plus the rate was very reasonable. We will definitely stay there again if the opportunity arises!". . .(1/14/08) - "What a fabulous place. The stall was ready and the horse was comfortable. They let us put him out for a while to give him more room to stretch. The apartment we stayed in was wonderful. It felt like home. It would be a great place to stay for more than 1 night. We would go back.". . (3/19/08) - "This place is wonderful. The Thurmans are the most pleasant & friendly people you will ever meet. The apartment is wonderful. Very clean, washer & dryer, even had food waiting in the refrigerator for us. We had a great pen with a 2 stall shed for our horses, a round bale of hay was waiting, water tanks filled. We highly recomend this facility to any & everyone. We want to say thank you again & we hope all works out great for you. Thanks, Alicia & Scott Gadbury.". . .(7/6/08) - "Very pleased with the facility and would highly recommend to anyone traveling with horses. Also cabin was very clean and it allowed us to stay close to our horses. Very happy. Thank you.". . . (9/18/09) - "Absolutely the best horse motel we've stayed at. The accommodations and hospitality are second to none. If only all were like this! Recommend to all who are traveling through the Tulsa area. Many thanks to the Thurmans!". . . (4/16/11) - "At $90.00/night for a 2-bedroom house and horse board, you can't beat the Thurman's ranch. And what great people! Even though we got in late (9 p.m.) Mrs. Thurman guided us in by phone, and Mr. Thurman was waiting at the foot of the driveway with a flashlight. Accommodations were beautiful and spacious. My mini was comfy in the paddock with turnout shed. The fact that they allow housepets was a big plus. I highly recommend them if you're ever in the Tulsa area, even if you don't have your horse(s) with you!". . . (7/30/11) - "Wonderful, helpful, friendly people!". . . (8/29/11) - "Large nice apartment, large nice stalls. It was very hot but fans in barn helped make it somewhat comfortable for horses. Make sure to get good directions as our GPS (Google) did not lead us to the right place. Highly recommended. | |||||||

| Comments: (12/21/02) - "Beautiful farm with great horses worth a visit even if not staying overnight. Got red carpet treatment even though we called only a few hours in advance & got there late. Marty treated us like friends.". . .(8/8/03) - "We just stopped off for a rest and to let the horses stretch awhile. Dan and Marty made us feel like one of the family.". . .(9/29/03) - "Dan and Marty were most gracious and made us feel right at home. They were always willing to visit with us and help us with any needs in our travels. We look forward to staying with them on future trips.". . .(1/24/04) - "Dan and Marty are great hosts and have a great facility. We've stayed with them twice and both times were just great. A bit of a drive into Yukon for dinner or lodging but you can't ask for a better place to stable horses. Highly recommended!". . .(1/27/04) - "We really enjoyed staying with Dan and Marty! We were greeted at the front of the barn and felt like we were at home. The horses received great care. So much so that we stopped and stayed with them on our way back home also. We would definitely recommend this horse motel to anyone. ". . . (2/1/04) - "Dan & Marty Fine are truely "FINE" people. I'll be back next year for some more barrel races in OK, so my horses will most definitely be staying at their place.". . .(3/24/04) - "Marty and Dan were most gracious and helpful on the two occasions that we overnighted with them. The facilities are excellent and directions to the site were exact. They were always there and we felt secure leaving our horses and our trailer there while we stayed with relatives. They also were so helpful in giving directions and routes that shortened our trips. Overall, this facility is one of, if not the best, places we have overnighted on the road." . . . (6/22/04) - "The directions were a bit confusing but it really can be easy to get to. They could not have been more hospitable, the stalls were clean, Marty & Dan helped us turn out the horses in the round pen for some exercise before we loaded them back into the trailer. We'll be back.". . .(3/6/05) - "Dan and Marty are the best! We have stayed with them the last two years on our way to and from AZ. They are always in the driveway waiting for us and help us out in any way they can. We really appreciate the service they offer and the kindness to our horses.". . .(9/29/05) - "Marty and Dan were very nice, the facility was great and most of all, I felt comfortable leaving my horse in their care.". . .(2/27/06) - "We have stayed with Dan and Marty for three years. They are great people and the horses are well taken care of. Highly recommend them!". . .(3/27/06) - "Very friendly people who go out of their way to make you and your horses comfortable. Extremely clean facility. We will continue to stay there whenever traveling that route.". . .(11/12/07) - "This couple was more than generous to us. We were having our trailer worked on at the 4 star factory for a couple of days after coming back from Fort Worth from a horse show. They let us unload everything we had in our trailer and place it in their secure tack room while the trailer was at 4 star. We had 3 horses staying with them and by the time we arrived in the mornings to care for them Marty had them watered and had given them our hay we had left. These are WONDERFUL caring people. I highly recommend their place. It's clean, airy, safe and secure. It has very nice stalls. We kept our horses in the corral and round pen they had to offer. I prefer my horses outside when traveling and hauling. So it was nice to have that option. It's big enough for big rigs to get in and out of. And the view is wonderful.". . . (6/14/09) - "This was the cleanest barn I have ever seen; including my own! Having lost a horse to a stall accident, the safety of the stalls were paramount to me. The stalls were beautiful - secure, safe, well ventilated and clean. I had no reservations at all about leaving my lusitano stallion and gelding there. Marty and Dan also have one of the best round pens that I have seen. I was able to put my stallion in the pen, (with mares on the property), and let him stretch his legs without supervision. The Fines accommodated our late arrivals and took excellent care of the horses; checking on them, giving water etc. I would definitely use this facility again - . . . ". . . (11/29/09) - "We have stayed here repeatedly and always feel like we have a home away from home when at Dan and Marty's place. If we are gone during the day Marty will always check and fill water buckets without asking.". . . (6/19/11) - "We were on a 2,000 mile trek across the country and had 3 horses with us and the weather had severly delayed our progress. I found an old yellow pages in a truck stop and called Marty at 5:30am hoping she had a stable for our horses. Not only did she answer the phone at this ungodly hour but was very understanding and assisted us with directions to her facility. She was wonderful and we were able to stay just down the road and get some much needed rest. I cannot say enough positive things about Marty, her Grandson, and their facility. Will recommend them fully." | |||||||

Very friendly and helpful.". . .(8/14/04) - "Our host was very nice and took good care of our horse.
