9. Heritage house with old-time charm
Thackerville’s biggest claim to fame is the WinStar World Casino and Resort, the largest casino resort in Oklahoma. It has eight gaming plazas on its huge premises and famous pop stars like Kelly Clarkson and Maroon 5 have performed sold-out shows at the resort. If you prefer not to stay at the resort, you can try nearby accommodations such as this guestroom in a heritage house in Gainesville that was built in 1893. With its beautiful antique-style furniture, it offers a old-time charm that you probably will not get at the casino resort.

10. Beautiful hideaway with lake views
Just a 20-minute drive west of Thackerville is another beautiful lake, the Hubert M. Moss Lake. Smaller but more secluded than Lake Texoma, it nonetheless offers pretty much similar opportunities for outdoor recreational activities such as fishing, hiking and bird-watching. This huge two-storey guesthouse by the lake can accommodate as many as 12 guests, and has stunning views of the lake from its patios and balconies. There is a wonderful lakeside pavilion for you to chill out, and while there is neither wifi nor TV, the cozy and spacious interiors are perfect for spending quality time with your loved ones, with the tranquil beauty of the lake as the backdrop.
9.91 km (6.2 mi) from WinStar World Casino and Resort
11. Secluded and tranquil wood cabin
Since Lake Texoma is a popular recreational spot for residents of the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area, it may get a little too busy during the peak human traffic seasons. Thankfully, there are several lodgings that are secluded enough such that you can still enjoy the rural serenity on offer. This beautifully-constructed wood cabin near Whitesboro is tucked deep inside the main roads, so that guests can enjoy the remote tranquility along the lake. You can stay within the cabin’s premises and try spotting deer, fox and other wildlife passing by. Or you can go out and enjoy some fishing or bird-watching by the lake. Either way, you will feel as if you have the place to yourself.

12. Quiet cabin minutes off the highway
Stray a little away from the interstate highways, and you are immediately in the expansive Texas countryside. Farmlands stretch as far as the eyes can see, but there are still some interesting accommodation options amid this sparsely populated area. Take this old-school wood cabin for example. It is just a 10-minute drive off the highway turnpike to Gainesville, but there is nothing but tranquility on offer. You can go hiking, fishing and bird-watching, or you can just sit on the front porch and experience the wonderful feeling of solitude.

13. Secluded cabin for outdoor fun (from USD 107)
With Lake Texoma sprawled out along the borders of Texas and Oklahoma, there are several towns and cities which can serve as good bases to explore the region. From Thackerville, the most convenient option is Whitesboro, Texas, which is a half-hour-drive away. This snug cabin is tucked deep in a secluded area near Whitesboro, and has two large decks, grills and fire pits, and snug beds for you to unwind. Best of all are the variety of activities available: hiking, biking, fishing, bird-watching, shooting practices at nearby range and, of course, kayaking at the lake.

Things to do along state border
Thackerville may be famous for its huge casino, but it’s also close to plenty of outdoor recreation fun, which is why there are also cabin rentals nearby.
You may need GPS and a well-maintained car to reach to more secluded accommodations, but they are well worth the trouble as they offer beautiful scenic vistas by the huge Lake Texoma. Thackerville truly is a fantastic area to spend a few days before heading out to the major cities of Dallas or Oklahoma City.
