Nice to meet you!
We open our doors to share Chickasha's charm and Southern hospitality, because every guest deserves to feel like family.
Our Family
Stay Chickasha is a family-run hospitality brand led by Rick Johnston and Jane Lyon, a father-daughter team with deep, multi-generational roots in Chickasha, Oklahoma.
The story of Stay Chickasha began after a career crossroads unexpectedly shifted our path, forcing us to put our heads together and rethink what truly mattered. Rather than see it as a setback, we took it as an opportunity to go all-in on our shared passion — creating warm, welcoming spaces and sharing the charm of our hometown with travelers from near and far.
With a blend of Southern hospitality and local know-how, we aim to give our guests more than just a comfortable place to stay. We want them to experience Chickasha the way we do — from its small-town warmth to its hidden gems — and to leave feeling less like visitors and more like old friends.
Our Why
For us, hospitality isn’t just about making beds and handing over keys — it’s about making people feel truly welcome. We realized what mattered most was connection: meeting new people, sharing our love for Chickasha, and creating spaces where strangers feel like friends.
Hosting allows us to blend our strengths — local roots, a love for community, and a knack for making guests feel at home — into something meaningful. It’s our way of giving back to the place that’s given so much to us, while making sure every guest leaves with warm memories of Chickasha.
