    I usually don't think of very many places in Oklahoma being a destination to book a hotel at... but this sounds really nice. (my aversion to OK stems from 3 speeding tickets in one night while driving from MO to TX. HA!)

    How lovely! This sounds like the sort of place that my husband and I would enjoy visiting.
