The Sanco House at Chillinois

The owners went above and beyond to make sure our stay was amazing. We had a terrible storm and lost power but we were top priority. Definitely recommend this property. It’s beautiful!

Jen was incredibly kind and accommodating. We had a death in the family and needed to rearrange our dates and she was so understanding and made it easy for us to adjust our stay. The home was exactly as pictured: clean, cozy, and fully stocked with everything we needed.We especially loved the coffee bar. It had everything from hot to cold brew options. The house was very family-friendly, with toys and games for our 4 and 8 year old grandsons. My daughter brought her two dogs, and the home was wonderfully pet-friendly. There were water bowls and even dog toys available.The outdoor space was just as amazing. The back yard had a fire pit with plenty of chairs and a neatly stacked supply of firewood, which we enjoyed a couple of nights. The backyard was beautifully maintained, with a peaceful walkway down to the river. There were tubes available for floating, lounge chairs on artificial turf, and a perfect setup for fishing. We caught several catfish right off the bank.Mornings on the covered deck were especially peaceful. We often saw deer while enjoying our coffee. Jen thought of everything. There was bug spray located in several spots, and even river towels ready to use. She also left clear instructions for everything, making our stay even more relaxing and stress-free.We truly had a great experience and will definitely be back.

I could go on forever about this property, but I'll only highlight a handful of things that stuck out to us. There was excellent communication from the start, with prompt responses and also helpful information during our entire stay. The awesome coffee bar was a huge hit for everyone! You can tell the owners put pride in what they do. There were cute handmade decorations and special touches that made it feel like home! This place exceeded our expectations and we can't wait to come back next year!!

Great location on the river, beautiful property will all the amenities. Activities for all ages. The house was so nicely decorated.

Such a great place to stay! It was very clean and had everything you needed in the kitchen which was nice. The back patio was such a great space to hang out and all the furtnutue and beds were comfortable. Location was perfect for our group of friends. We will definitely be booking here again next summer!

Home was immaculate, only surpassed by the outstanding communication from the host Jen, making our small family gathering as good as it could be. We wore out the excellently stocked coffee bar, will definately be returning.

I've always had the grandbabies over for a Christmas weekend of games, Gingerbread & cookie decorating, dance lessons, and bonding with their cousins. When they were little it was easy to sleep a couple on a rollaway two on a sofa & 4 in the queen bed in our home's guestroom. Oh how they've grown! The Chillinois has hosted me, Grandpa & all of our teen & adult grandbabies for a couple years now and we'll be back again as long as my g-babies keep coming out for their Christmas gig. The space is perfect for our annual Reindeer Games & dance moves, sits right on the beautiful river, has plenty of roll out & pop up beds, and the kitchen layout is great for decorating our cookies. I have several grandbabies that are band members that totally dig the guitars, drums & xylophone which the host supplies along with a great karaoke machine and jacuzzi. Thank you Jen!!!!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Chillinois river cabin. The house is very comfortable and was stocked with everything we could possibly need plus more. We really appreciate the thought that went in to all that was available to use. Lots of space to explore and enjoy the river. Our dog loved the big space to run and play.

They literally had anything you could possibly need! The inside of the cabin was immaculate. The location on the river was perfect. We will definitely book again!

We were really impressed with everything at the property! I’m an overplanner/over packer and have to make sure that we have absolutely everything we need when taking a trip to the river. The host had me beat and had everything I had already packed with exception to fans for the rooms. We have some teens in our group who cannot sleep without them, but this is very minor. If you need hair products for colored hair, then you’ll want to pack that too, but otherwise, she has everything else. All dishes are available for you and there are nonstick pans and cooking utensils, all are in really good condition. I don’t want her to miss out on her continuous 10 star rating. As far as cleanliness, the primary shower could have been a tad bit cleaner on the shower door rails and

We enjoyed all of the amenities inside and outside of property. Walking distance to the river.

This place was amazing! We had plenty to do; hot tub/spa, walk to/swim in/relax by the river, sing karoke, play music and games! Everything was so well put together. It really shows how much they care about the property and guests. The coffee bar?! Phenomenal! We didn't have pets with us but if we did, they would've been loved, too (treats, beds, etc). Our whole group loved this place and can't wait to come back!

Definitely recommend this stay for any trip to Tahlequah
