I took my 75 year old mother on a weekend trip to Caddo Lake and stayed at Gator Lodge. We both enjoyed ourselves so much! The cabin had everything we needed and the dock provided a beautiful view of the lake. My mom loves to fish and she spent the weekend fishing right off the dock and caught large bream, perch, and catfish. The hosts live next door and were very friendly and attentive. The beds are super comfy and the A/C in the cabin works great. I especially enjoyed the covered area of the dock with the ceiling fan. Fantastic stay!

We had such an amazing stay at Gator Lodge! Everything was spotless and so well kept you can tell the Sloan’s truly care about their guests’ experience. They were incredibly kind, responsive, and made everything feel easy from start to finish.The views were absolutely breathtaking, especially at sunset. It was so peaceful and quiet exactly what we needed to relax and unwind. If you’re looking for a serene getaway surrounded by natural beauty, this is the perfect spot. The pier and boat dock were perfect for sitting and parking our boat for night. We will definitely be back!

Relaxing Vacation

My husband, myself, and our 2 teenagers stayed at this property and really loved it. It was very relaxing, clean, and well-suited to our needs. Furthermore, while off the beaten path, we enjoyed visiting both Jefferson and Shreveport during our stay.
