Eva Jo’s Roost is perched on Ridge Route Road with one of the most spectacular views of Lake Tenkiller. This 1,500‑square‑foot retreat is beautifully furnished and sized for families or groups up to six guests. With three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, it provides plenty of room to spread out while still feeling cozy and welcoming.
Inside you’ll find a bright, airy living area framed by large windows that showcase the lake and surrounding hills. Comfortable seating — a sofa, two leather chairs and a game table — invites you to unwind after a day on the water. Adjacent is a fully equipped kitchen with a full range of appliances, ample counter space and all the cookware you need to prepare meals at home. The adjoining dining area seats six so everyone can gather for dinner or board games.
Step through the doors onto the screened‑in porch and you’ll discover a Traeger grill and an outdoor dining table for four. A full‑width deck spans the lakeside of the home, making it the favorite hangout for coffee at sunrise or a glass of wine at sunset. There is plenty of parking available, so you can bring your boat and gear with you, and with the Blackgum boat ramp just a half‑mile away you’ll be on the water in no time.
Eva Jo’s Roost stands out for its unobstructed panoramic vista of Lake Tenkiller. The home’s design takes full advantage of its setting with floor‑to‑ceiling windows, a wide lakeside deck and a screened porch that let you enjoy the view in any weather. The interior is elegantly appointed with rustic décor that reflects the lake lifestyle while providing all the comforts of home.
The vacation home is also equipped for gathering and entertaining. A Traeger smoker/grill on the screened porch makes barbecues a highlight, and the adjacent dining area and game table encourage conversation and laughter long into the night. Ample parking means there’s room for your boat trailer or multiple vehicles, and the quiet road and ample outdoor space attract hummingbirds and songbirds, making the setting feel like your own private hideaway.
On site you can relax on the expansive deck and watch the sunrise over the water, take in the evening colors or spot hummingbirds flitting among the trees. Enjoy meals al fresco, grill steaks or smoked brisket on the Traeger, or challenge family members to a board game or cards around the game table. The lawn and garden provide space to stretch out and soak up the fresh Oklahoma air.
Lake Tenkiller is a short walk or drive away and offers world‑class boating, fishing, kayaking and swimming. Launch your boat at Blackgum Landing, just half a mile from the cabin, or rent a pontoon at one of the nearby marinas. Anglers love the lake for its clear water and plentiful bass, catfish and crappie, while those seeking adventure can try scuba diving or water sports.
Tenkiller State Park, about a 10‑minute drive, has miles of hiking trails, a nature center and picnic areas. Nearby Blackgum Landing Public Use Area and other public sites around the lake provide opportunities for bird watching, wildlife viewing and shoreline walks. Pack a picnic and spend the afternoon exploring wooded trails, or visit during the fall to witness the changing colors around the lake.
When you’re ready to explore beyond the lake, the towns of Vian and Gore offer local eateries, grocery stores and small‑town charm. Day trips might include visiting Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge for birding, exploring Cookson Hills or Cherokee Landing State Park, or checking out seasonal events and festivals around Lake Tenkiller. After your adventures, return to Eva Jo’s Roost to relax under the stars and plan the next day’s fun.
