How it all started!
1996: Blake, Corinne and Sonny
Get to Know Us
Back in 1975, Lynn Leedy and Corinne Burkhart had a simple idea: create a travel agency that specialized in ski trips. It wasn’t long before the business started to take off, and when Lynn decided to retire, Corinne took the reins. Things kept growing, and soon enough, her husband Sonny jumped in to help.
Their focus on customer service turned out to be something special. Clients started asking for more than just ski trips—they wanted adventures all over the world. So, Corinne and Sonny expanded the business into a full-service travel agency OKC travelers could rely on. Their approach was simple: make travel personal and seamless.
Before long, their son Blake followed in their footsteps, joining the family business and keeping the tradition alive. Over the years, new travel agents have come on board, and one thing’s clear: they’re not just employees—they’re family, too.
At the heart of it all, it’s still about what Lynn and Corinne started: creating travel experiences that feel effortless, thoughtfully tailored, and truly unforgettable.
Meet our Agents
Blake Burkhart- Owner
I grew up in the family business of travel and I really love giving our clients the type of trip and level of service that you just can’t book online. My favorite part of the job is meeting new people from all over the world that I can work with to create an experience for our clients that wows them.
While our agency has specialists that can help with anywhere on the globe, my specialties are beach trips and Europe vacations. This ranges anywhere from a couple’s getaway to a destination wedding with a couple hundred on their guest list.
One of the perks of this career is that I have been able to travel all over the world. But my favorite vacations have never been about a certain location, but rather getting to be able to create memories with my family.
Corinne Burkhart- Agent
Corinne is the one who helped start it all here at Haus Travel back in 1975! Her customer service is unparalleled and the agency has lasted the test of time because of her commitment to clients. While she plans trips all over the world, her favorite place to be is relaxing on the beach in Mexico.
Her specialties include Alaskan cruises, ski trips, and beach vacations.

Whether it’s a fully planned adventure getaway or a boutique travel experience packed with exclusive excursions, I’m here to make your trip seamless, stress-free, and unforgettable.

My favorite travel memory: My husband had never been outside the country before our honeymoon, and we chose Thailand. Watching him fall in love with travel—and with Asia—became one of my most cherished memories. Every morning, he woke up excited to explore, experience, and embrace the unknown. That’s exactly the kind of thrill-seeking yet effortless travel I aim to create for my clients!
