Author: Harley Covington and Brett Manzer March 16, 2026 Duration: 54:26

In this episode of the Only in OK Show, we're traveling from the serene canopy of the Kiamichi Mountains to a revived 1930s speakeasy in Oklahoma City. First, we explore Mount Mirabelle, a luxury cabin in Hochatown that feels like a romantic movie set, complete with cathedral ceilings and sunset views. Then, we head to OKC to visit Carletti's, where a 200-year-old Bolognese recipe is being served inside a historic hillside building once known for its "shady" nightlife.


Part 1: The Ultimate Romantic Getaway – Mount Mirabelle

Looking for a "workcation" spot or a romantic escape? We're diving into the details of Mount Mirabelle, a Sababa Homes property that perfectly balances modern luxury with the rugged beauty of Broken Bow.

  • The Vibe: 1,000 sq. ft. of massive glass windows, 18-foot ceilings, and dual fireplaces.

  • The Amenities: A private hot tub, digital board game table, and even a Level 1 EV charger—a rare find in the mountains!

  • Pro Tip: It's a pet-free zone and just 5 minutes from the "Big Three": Grateful Head Pizza, Girls Gone Wine, and Mountain Fork Brewery.

Part 2: An "Edible Museum" – Carletti's Italian Heritage

After the break,  we discuss Carletti's in this weeks News 9, Flavor of Oklahoma.

 The History: Originally the notorious Kentucky Club speakeasy in the 1930s, you can now dine inside original horse stalls converted into cozy booths.

  • The Secret Sauce: Learn how Chef Becker had to "chase the matriarchs with a scale" to finally write down a Bolognese recipe that has been a family secret since the 1800s.

  • The Experience: From a recreation of the 100-year-old C&R Grocery store to the moody, late-night speakeasy bar in the back, Carletti's is a love letter to the Italian coal miners of Krebs who shaped Oklahoma's food scene.
