The Minnow Bucket was perfect in every way! Very close to the water, very cute, clean and quiet area. Yes, there are a few RV's parked in their places but they were neat and tidy and I rarely saw anyone else there.

Could have been fine
It was advertised as having a bait shop and kayak rentals on site. Even when we got inside the cabin there’s was a name and number for us to call for rentals. No answer. Ever. And it also said “coke by bait shop”. No. There’s wasn’t one. If I had known all of this I would’nt have been so disappointed.
The cabin was clean and well stocked.
The next morning however we awaken to seams of red wasps inside. Two had gotten inside our suitcase.
This was a GREAT place to stay for kayaking! The launch into Big Lake was about 100 steps from the front porch. We also made the short drive to Caddo Lake State Park and launched at Mill Creek.
The cabin was spotless and looked just like the pictures. My only complaint is that there is no place to unpack. A place to store clothes/equipment would be nice.
We enjoyed our stay here. We had the small cabin. It was clean, comfortable bed, hot shower, coffee pot. What more do you need? We caught a few fish off the pier, which is always fun. Could use a couple items, as others may have suggested, more dish towels, hooks in the bathroom for towels. The rack there was missing 2 of the 3 hooks. Simple fixes. If you use cabins very often, you know the things you may want to bring. Valarie, the gal managing the place, was AWESOME! She is easy to reach for any needs.
