The Blue Doors at Tenkiller is dedicated to the exploration of achieving a sustainable life. Located across from the lower Illinois river and Lake Tenkiller it is one of Gore, Oklahoma's best kept secrets. In the 1950's, when Americans were being encouraged by Madison Ave to "see the USA in your Chevrolet," motels of all kinds sprung up all across the country. One such place was the "Shangri-La," a motor court-style motel built near the newly formed Tenkiller Ferry Lake, just north of Gore, Oklahoma. Shangri-La was a popular place for quite a while. Over the years the motel changed hands several times, rising and falling in popularity. Losing several buildings to highway expansion and ultimately falling into disrepair. This one of a kind property has been well loved by many over the last several decades and is now being thoughtfully renovated by the new owners, They stumbled across the opportunity one day at lunch while talking and dreaming of their next adventure. Both familiar with real estate and the vacation rental market decided to bet it all on this magical 1950's roadside motor court motel. The two have plans to slowly add a few more amenities to each casita including new furniture, décor and kitchenettes, upgrading the outdoor kitchens and plan to continue to host live music on the weekends. Historically The Blue Doors at Tenkiller has only been a seasonal business but with these upgrades they are planning on keeping the property open year long for for others to enjoy. The property is currently accepting guest reservations via online booking only at the moment. We greatly appreciate your patience as we work towards building a strong foundation, implementing new technology, chase our crazy chickens around the property and entertain our guests. We will not be closing during our remodel and will continue to update rooms with new photos as improvements are complete, The Blue Doors at Tenkiller still boasts 13 lovely casitas, 9 of our units are appointed with king beds and we offer 4 units that have double beds that can accommodate between 2-4 people.
