Canebrake resort closes after loss of investor
WAGONER — The Canebrake, a world-class spa, resort and restaurant near Wagoner, has closed.
The property, owned by Chef Sam Bracken and his wife and yoga-instructor Lisa, won’t reopen after the loss of a key private investor, according to a news release.
Bracken said he’s seeking a buyer for the property overlooking Fort Gibson Lake.
The resort opened in 2007 and has welcomed more than 90,000 guests, offering eco-friendly, luxury accommodations, an award-winning restaurant, an Ayurvedic spa, a boutique and a state-ofthe-art yoga studio, the Yoga Barn.
The move comes not long after a $2 million expansion was completed in July.
“We are deeply saddened to have to close our doors,” the Brackens said in a statement. “The Canebrake has brought us such joy over the years, and we are extremely grateful to our staff and guests from around the world who have supported us. We are actively seeking a buyer for this incredible property, and we hope to find someone who will cherish it as we have.”
Refunds offered
Gift certificates for The Canebrake will be refunded in full. Guests should contact The Canebrake at (918) 485-1810 before Feb. 28 for a refund.
