Wonderful Secluded Gem

This place is off the beaten path and really unique. This place can comfortably sleep 8 people and has plenty of outside deck area. Although we aren't fishers... This is a great place for people who fish. The grandkids loved the loft room and unique steps up to that room. The place was clean and had plenty of linens and beach towels. We had a great time.

House was great. Weather was bad for trip, but it was great to have a house to enjoy cooking and visiting. Do not recommend driving to house in the dark. Can be tricky.

Beautiful house

Couples getaway was wonderful. The deck, kayaks, games, and comfortable beds. The kitchen was well stocked and arranged. The master bed and bathroom was amazing. Enjoyed coffee in the morning and evening drinks on the deck.

Labor Day weekend get a way

The house was amazing! Had all that we needed and more. My children loved the jet tub and fireplace heater. We loved catfishing off the dock and caught two four footers while we were there. Very exciting for kids. The Wi-Fi was spotty due to location but I loved it cause that’s why we went there to get away….we all got to sit together and watch a DVD in the evening. I loved cooking in the kitchen! Loved the gas grill and vent that raises from the island. We will plan a longer trip next time!

About the host

Hosted by Eve C Albin

We're just a family of 6 that fell in love with the river and with Jefferson.

Why they chose this property

There's so much to do at Old Cypress River House.
There's a boat launch less than a mile away and place at the cabin to tie up your boat.
End the night playing board games by the fireplace inside. Go on a river tour through the Cypress forest with Captain Ron's Swamp Tours and have a catfish dinner at Big Pines Lodge, or be brave and order the alligator!
You're 15 minutes from Caddo Lake in one direction, 10-15 minutes from Jefferson in the other and 30 minutes from Lake of the Pines where you can rent a boat at Bull Frog's.

Internet gaming on the WIFI is not available since it is Satellite WIFI and there is a delay.

What makes this property unique
