Medicine Park, OK, is not just a picturesque town, but it's also a place where residents and visitors alike can find peace and tranquility.
The town's laid-back atmosphere makes it the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The community here is tight-knit and welcoming, making it easy to feel right at home.
One of the reasons Medicine Park is so peaceful is its location. The town is situated on Medicine Creek, which is fed by nearby Medicine Bluff and Lake Lawtonka. The soothing sound of running water can be heard throughout the town, adding to its serene ambiance.
But what really sets Medicine Park apart is its unique architecture. The town is built entirely out of cobblestones, giving it a distinctive look and feel. The cobblestones were gathered from nearby Medicine Creek and were originally used to build the town's bridges and retaining walls.
Even though there are only about 400 residents, there are still new homes being built in the town, so if you're considering moving here you can build new or choose from a limited selection of resale homes.
If you're coming to Medicine Park just to visit, there are lots of unique rentals on Airbnb, like this classic cobblestone cabin dubbed "Isn't She Lovely Cobblestone Retreat!"
(Yes, she is quite lovely!)
Or, check out InnHabit, a tiny house resort with 10 overnight rentals. Each unit can sleep 3-4 guests each, so if you're traveling with a larger group everyone can stay together but with their own private space.
One of the best things about Medicine Park is its small size. With a population of just over 400, the town is a true hidden gem.
The nearby Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge offers visitors the chance to hike, fish, and explore the great outdoors. So, it's the perfect place for nature lovers to plant roots.
It's no wonder Medicine Park has received so much recognition over the years. In addition to being named one of the "Top 50 Best Small Towns to Visit in America," HGTV declared it the "most charming" town in Oklahoma.
