Photos and Description of the Monkey Island vacation house rental
3 bedroom, 1 bath with boat dock and jet ski rental

Three bedroom/one bathroom smoke free house sitting approximately 100 yards off the bluff. The house is supplied by well water and is furnished with a bottled water dispenser for guests' convenience. We have a fully enclosed indoor heated fishing dock with two boat slips and is perfect for fishing in any season. Cook out on the grill, or drive a few minutes to Grove for dinner. Or, there are several casinos only minutes away.

Vacationers love the charming town of Grove, Oklahoma on beautiful Grand Lake. Take a ride reminiscent of the Mississippi riverboat journeys aboard the Cherokee Queen. Tour the country's largest outdoor museum, Har-Ber Village. Enjoy world-class fishing and water sports of all types on Grand Lake, which provides the perfect backdrop for Grove's many attractions, shops, restaurants and festivals.

About Russ Heffley

We are educators in a rural northeastern Oklahoma public school. We have two daughters, a son-in-law, two dogs, and a cat. We have found the perfect oasis; quiet and secluded on Elk River which feeds into the Grand Lake of the Cherokees.

Russ Heffley purchased this house in 2011
Why Russ Heffley chose Monkey Island

You will fall in love with the quiet and private area of Elk River. Excellent fishing opportunities for any season.

What makes this house unique

Full access to the two slip dock with a beautiful sitting area overlooking the river. Jet skis are available for rental or a small boat may be tied up to dock. The house is only ten years old, very clean, and has a rustic interior.

Truly an Oasis on the River!

5 of 5
Submitted: July 5, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
My wife and I decided to have our honeymoon at this wonderful home as we are living in Wyoming and really missed home! When we arrived the owners were on site ensuring we had everything we needed before we enjoyed a full week at this wonderful home. The pictures truly don't give it the justice until you are onsite and able to take in the views and the newly renovated home. The house is in like new condition and very comfortable to make yourself at home. The boat dock is great for swimming and/or docking your boat and being in an area you can enjoy without much boat traffic or noise. If you are looking for a home to enjoy the water and enjoy the peace and quite this would be the home to consider. Thanks again for a wonderful place to enjoy a very great week for my wife and myself!

Great Escape

We enjoyed our stay in the cabin. Everything was clean and most everything you might need was in the cabin. We had a family get together in the area and it was wonderful to find a cabin so close to the area we needed. Loved having the boat/fishing dock! I wish we could have stayed longer to take full advantage of that. It is very quiet and peacful and worth the drive out to it. The kids loved the loft bedroom! My only suggestion would be if you are coffee drinkers you might want to bring your own cups. That is the only thing we didn't find and I may have over looked them. We found plastic cups that worked. I read one review that mentioned the water but we never smelled the "sulpher" water even when we showered and the bottle water was very convenient in the kitchen. The owners went above and beyond to take care of us. Thank You!! Hope to stay here again.

Stinky

2 of 5
Submitted: August 6, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
Should have stated 85+ steps down to the water, and no working AC in the "AC boat house".
Poorly supplied kitchen, as well as un drinkable tap water. Not to mention horrible sulfer smelling water for showers , dish cleaning etc. This was not diclosed until 24 hrs before rental.
Owner's Response: The dock is down from the bluff on Elk River which requires many steps to gain access. An electric tram is available to visitors who may need a ride down or a lift up. The dock is not air conditioned. The water to the cabin is well water and has a sulfur smell when you use hot water. Disclosure of well water is in the advertising; therefore, bottled water for drinking is supplied. The owners' telephone number is given to guests so that items needed can be addressed immediately to make the guests' stay as pleasant as possible.

It was very nice! We had a blast. We were able to swim and fish. The kids caught 12-15 fish and had a great time. The washer and dryer was a bonus! I would recommend this spot to friends and family.
