Author: Harley Covington and Brett Manzer July 20, 2026 Duration: 40:11

Think you have to be in OKC or Tulsa to find ultra-luxury lodging? Think again! This week, we are heading down to Tishomingo, Oklahoma—a charming small town hiding one of the most stunning, five-star boutique stays in the state: The Stay Golden Inn.

Located in a historic late-1800s brick building that once housed the town's local newspaper, this stay seamlessly blends historical grit with modern glam. We're breaking down why this romantic, urban-loft experience in the heart of Johnston County deserves a spot at the top of your Oklahoma bucket list.

Inside the Episode:

  • The Suites: Whether you are booking a couples' getaway in the "Gold Digger" Suite (featuring a plush King bed and cozy fireplace) or a friends' trip in the "Gold Rush" Suite (equipped with two Queen beds), you are in for total comfort.

  • The Spa Bathrooms: These bathrooms rival any major luxury hotel. We're talking freestanding soaking tubs, double vanities, and a massive glass walk-in shower with dual shower heads plus an overhead rainfall shower.

  • The Private Patio: Step outside to a colorful outdoor oasis decked out with a vibrant mural, string lights, and your own private hot tub perfect for soaking under the Oklahoma stars.

  • Show Insider Tip: Booking a group trip? If you book both suites together, the hot tub setup can accommodate up to 6 people! You can also ask the amazing host, Carrie, about adding in-room massages or kayak rentals.

  • Walkable Tishomingo: You are literally just steps away from Blake Shelton's famous Ole Red restaurant and music venue. Plus, you can easily walk to downtown boutiques, a local wine bar, and a local five-star spa.

  • Nature Breaks: If you want to get outside, the gorgeous Blue River is just a few miles away—famous for trout fishing, kayaking, and stunning scenery.

With a 4.96 out of 5-star rating on Airbnb and over 200 reviews, guests consistently rave that this place rivals the best luxury hotels in the country. If you're looking for a luxurious weekend escape without leaving the state, look up the Stay Golden Inn in Tishomingo. Trust us, it's pure gold.
