Spacious on inside, outside Housleys home has plenty of personal touches
A
fter living in the woods by Fort Gibson Lake for several years, Chris and Vicki Housley have found a wide open space to be far more manageable. The Housleys live in a three bedroom-plus house on the flatlands east of Fort Gibson. “I like being in an open area,” Vicki Housley said.
“We lived in a long cabin at Fort Gibson Lake. It was 10 acres. But the house was built in the 1980s, and there was a lot of upkeep. Trees were falling all the time and it was a lot of work. We decided we needed to build a house. This is more manageable.” Cody Deatherage of Fort Gibson custom-built the house in 2020.
