A Story Written in the Land
Since 1903, This Land Has Been Our Family's Heart
More than just a vacation rental, The Homestead at Calera is a living piece of Chickasaw heritage. For over a century, this land has nurtured our family through seasons of farming, change, and growth.
Our host is a proud member of the Chickasaw Nation, and this property carries the spirit of a people who have called Oklahoma home long before statehood. When you stay here, you don't just rent a house — you become part of a story that stretches back generations.
Today, the Chickasaw and Choctaw Nations have embraced our property as a recommended stay — a testament to the authenticity and cultural connection that makes this place truly unique.
