Had always wondered what it looked like inside since I was a kid. It was small and quirky, just like our hostess. Linda makes the tour worthwhile with her passion for the place and knowledge of local history. It was a pleasantly intriguing visit.
If you are anywhere near Tulsa, OK and like offbeat, not state sponsored attractions or casinos you have to stop by the Tulsa Cave House. From its shape to its origins and the true and folklore stories and people associated with it, the Tulsa Cave House is worth a stop. Linda, the current owner has made the most of the history of the place and I can promise there's absolutely nothing like it anywhere on Route 66 or anywhere in the world.
We did the tour. Because we had two families with 3 kids and 4 adults I feel the owner made it interesting for all of us through the interaction with the children and the historical accounts and stories for the adults. Loved it.
I took my 12 year old son with autism there not expecting how it would go. Linda gave us an awesome tour and managed to keep my son interested and happy the entire time. The place itself is amazing and has a great history. There are surprises around every corner, and her stories are great. So it's well worth taking the kids, but I also look forward to going with adults and getting more about the history. I can't wait to go back. Love that little place!
The owner is a master story teller and is very knowledgable about local history. She makes your visit so much fun! And the house itself is something I had always wanted to go inside to see. I grew up about two miles away and she tells incredible stories that are several generations old, and quite accurate. Whether you're from this area or an out of town visitor, you MUST see this place and hear the history!
You won't be disappointed by owner-tour-guide Linda Collier. So get on board for a fun afternoon visitation in T-Town. Located west downtown, on Charles Page Blvd. Yes, Tulsa has a little bit of Al Capone blood running near the Arkansas River and New Block Park. Hear the tales of old bootleggers, gambling, drinking and the key lady. Do key your keys in your pocket and do not lay them down and walk away. Learn about west side history and the Rag Lady always walking along Charles Page in several layers of clothing no matter the weather and temperature. I grew up along Chas. Page in the late 40's -70's. I remember sitting in the back of our car coming home from church or shopping, and stretching my neck to get a glimpse through the doorway, when it was open in the hot summer. All I ever saw in those days were men sitting around a table and playing cards and talking. Before Linda purchased The Cave; I always felt sorry for the dilapidated condition it suffered over the years of neglect. Thankful Linda felt the urge to carry on a bit of history, and has done a superb job of upkeep. She purchased the building, and restored every room with decor. I will let her take you on tour tell it's history. And her fondness to carry on a bit of Tulsa, north of the Arkansas River and railroad tracks. A big bang for your bucks and entertainment.
This unique attraction captivated us. Equipped with photographs and history about the Cave House, the beautiful Linda is a perfect hostess/tour guide. The inside is just as fascinating as the exterior.
Tulsans have been fascinated by this curious place for decades. Stories and fantasies abounded but no one had actually seen inside until a beautiful, energetic, delightful young woman purchased the property. The tours are so much fun and very informative. Your imagination goes wild. You could not ask for a more upbeat, hospitable tour guide. Linda's love for the house is obvious and contagious. Great fun for anyone and everyone!
I so enjoyed my tour of the Tulsa Cave House! The building itself is a one-of-a-kind architectural gem, and for those of us growing up in Tulsa, getting a peak inside is a treat! Linda, the woman who owns the house and gives the tours is knowledgable and fun and very generous with her time! This house has been featured on HGTV in a special on unusual homes, and once you tour it you will understand why!
The Tulsa Cave House has been the fascination of anyone who grew up in the Tulsa/Sand Springs area. Everyone has been curious as to what is inside! Now that Linda Collier owns The Cave House, it is possible to go inside and have your curiosities turned into total fascination! Linda is the perfect hostess, her enthusiasm for The Cave House brings it even more to life. It is a fun, personal tour. You will gain a friend in Linda Collier when you visit The Tulsa Cave House.
