River Bird Retreats: A New Chapter for a Kiamichi Valley Riverside Getaway in SE Oklahoma

Last Updated 10/11/2026 • Posted in Featured

There’s something new taking shape along the river in Tuskahoma, Oklahoma! Riverbed Lodging has rebranded as River Bird Retreats, with a renewed focus on bringing people together for quilting retreats, crafting getaways, ministry gatherings, and small-group stays in a beautiful natural setting.

The riverside property offers comfortable lodging surrounded by the natural beauty of the Kiamichi Valley, along with a dedicated creative space designed to give groups room to spread out, work on projects, and enjoy time together.

A Dedicated Creative Space, Open 24/7

One of the exciting features at River Bird Retreats is The Nest, a separate creative workspace available around the clock. It's designed with quilters and crafters in mind, making it easier to bring a group together for a few days of uninterrupted creativity.

The Nest includes two 4-foot tables for up to 12 people, comfortable rolling chairs, task lighting, ironing stations, a cutting station, a kitchenette, and a coffee bar.

Gather your quilting friends, bring those unfinished projects, and enjoy the kind of time together that's hard to find in the middle of everyday life.

More Than A Quilting Retreat...

River Bird Retreats welcomes groups looking for a place to connect, create, and recharge. Along with quilting and crafting retreats, the property accommodates ministry groups, small gatherings, and traditional lodging stays.

With several suites, kitchens in every suite, and accommodations for groups of 2–12 guests, it's a setting that can work for different kinds of getaways. And when you need a break from your projects or group activities, the surrounding riverside scenery offers a peaceful place to slow down and enjoy the outdoors.
