There was a living room, a queen bed (memory foam mattress!), a bathroom, a full kitchen, and a bedroom with two twin beds. There was a handy binder with restaurants and other things listed, magazines, and two of The Pioneer Woman's cookbooks. We didn't get to meet the owner, but he seemed great over the phone. We arrived after the 3-6pm check-in window so Brian left the key under the mat, the light on, and the heaters running! My only complaint was that it was pretty chilly despite both wall unit heaters running at 75 degrees all night. I'd definitely recommend this place if you're staying in Pawhuska!

Now let's get to the BBQ I suggest you start with their onion straw YUM! I had the 2 meat platter and it really was enough for 2-3. Yrs I finished it off . I had pulled pork with their hot sausage ( I'll go for the extra hot next time). It had a wonderful flavor and I really enjoyed the green onion and banana pepper they put on the plate a great taste addition for me. My sides were potato salad and back beans. Both were good however I'd like to seen more meat in the beans.

There was very little bark in the pulled pork (almost none), which lowered the score a bit too. I got two and a half ribs, not sure if it was supposed to be 3, but they tasted pretty good and were tender enough. Sausage was good, perhaps the best of the meats. The baked beans were decent, but not great. Favorite though was the coleslaw, which was vinegar based rather than mayo. It kind of stole the show food-wise, which isn't where a bbq joint wants to be. The service was the best part of my visit. I was well taken care of and the staff were awesome. I drove about an hour to try Dink's, and I'd get it once in a while if I lived closer, but won't make the drive again for it. I'd give 3.5 stars but only allowed a 3 or 4 star rating, so 3 it is.

But this year, my significant other decided at the last minute to join me. While separately searching, we both found this gem, BarDew Valley Inn! And what a find it was! The owner, Perry, was exceptionally accommodating to us and the other guests. Our room, New Orleans, was absolutely stunning! The daily 9 am breakfasts were prepared with care and incredibly scrumptious. The house was beautiful and nightly movie nights in the Theater always the best way to top off the day. Thank you Perry for an extraordinary experience.

Perry is a wonderful, sociable, hospitable innkeeper!…read more BarDew Valley Inn is about 7-8 miles outside the Bartlesville city limits, about 45 minutes north of Tulsa and near the pioneer woman headquarters, for those who are into that. There are several themed suites. I stayed in the New York suite, which was a cleaner, more modern feel with several NYC motifs. There is also a New Orleans suite, a cowboy suite, and a French suite. He is currently working on an Asian themed suite. Each suite has its own bath and private entrance, as well as patio space to enjoy the evenings. There is wooded space and a pond out front with sitting areas. Very quiet and on a dead end, so no traffic. The rooms have comfy beds, wonderful, luxurious bedding, and a mattress warmer, which I loved! Each room has a refrigerator and Perry supplies bottled water, a keurig, coffee pods, glasses/cups, an ice bucket, extra blankets. A booklet with info on local restaurants and attractions. Everything you'd need! While I stayed here for work and kept to myself, Perry checked in with me often to make sure I didn't need anything. Other guests used the common areas more, like the movie room/game room and the kitchen. One night Perry built a fire in the fire pit. It would be a great place for people who want to socialize and meet new folks. Perry also makes breakfast every morning. I had to start work very early, so didn't partake, but other guests have raved about it. Perry really does open his home up to everyone and is very gregarious and gracious. It would be a great getaway for anyone wanting to explore the area. My suite was 139 a night, a great value.

It's also very quiet, except for the wind. I didn't pass many other cars at all. It probably took me about 2 hours to drive through (including my stop at the visitor center). I stopped for about 30-45 mins to talk with the volunteers there and sign the guest book. They were so friendly! Both ladies were so passionate about the preserve and knew so much about its history. And also about the wildlife and plants on the prairie. They were also telling me about the controlled burn that they were doing at the time of my visit. I learned about how the burns help keep the prairie healthy. So neat! Cell reception is spotty. I have an iPhone and downloaded an offline map while still in Tulsa before my journey up there so I was worry free. Worked out perfect! Also check the website i'm close to the day of your visit to ensure of volunteer will be staffed that day. As the visitor center is run by volunteers... There might not always be someone there every day. PS... don't expect to touch a bison. There are signs warning you to stay away as they can be dangerous/aggressive. For the most part, you are supposed to stay on the gravel road.

Once upon a time, America was full of prairie lands, but that is no longer the case. I'm so glad this glorious area is being preserved. Go see the visitor center and learn about bison as well as the native flora that abounds around this area. Learn why fire is essential for maintaining a prairie. While at the visitor center, peek through the windows of the cutest bunkhouse ever (I'd love to spend a weekend here!). Go hike the trail they maintain and see all the flowers, bushes, trees, grasses, butterflies, bees, birds and other wonders of nature. Drive around and marvel at the grazing bison. Leave with a happy heart and your proverbial cup overflowing.

Hotel towers over small town and is right in the middle of everything. You can walk to all shopping and most of dining. Neat old building.
