Family Fun

Perfect location on the bayou. It’s a short walk or boat ride to Big Pines Lodge. Outdoor spots to meet everyone’s needs; sunny deck with slide and jump platform, shaded deck with table, bar and swings, and a screened in porch. The large table inside is perfect for family game nights! I’ve lost count how many times we have stayed here but there are little improvements each year.

Peaceful bayou setting

Lovely house, great view of the bayou, serene setting, best porch I’ve ever sat on, and I sat out there sunrise and sunset, every day! It’s fully screened in, so no bugs, and you can hear and see all kinds of birds and wildlife. Just a great location and home.

Ok

It was ok, was smaller than what the listing showed, and not a kids area like the listing showed. What showed a white and blue house in the kids area ended up being another house you could rent for extra money. Wasn’t what the listing advertised. Other than that the house was nice just smaller than what we wanted.

Loved it!!

We had a great family weekend getaway, wish we would have booked for a longer stay,, it was awesome, the house was just perfect, we spent most of our time outside on the dock we brought our own boats and loved it, everything was perfect, a restaurant was just down the road and the food and service was out of this world, the owners of the house was very responsive when ask a question! Loved it!! We will definitely go back and for sure want to stay here!

Rained Out

My family stayed at this home last summer and loved it! We couldn’t wait to go again this summer! However, the area suffered extreme flooding before we got there. Christina was a great host and was in constant communication with us about the flooding and offered to let us reschedule or cancel. We will definitely be rescheduling!

Perfection.

I had high expectations based on the pictures and reviews and it was still better than what we hoped for. There is seating everywhere! We spent most of our time on the amazing deck and in the water. So many places to jump from. If you have a question Barbra gets back to you FAST. Everyone loved it and we all want to come back!

Quiet get away

Super clean. Small cozy home. Family of 4. We were able to bring canoe and keep on the dock. Super convenient. Nice large porch with a grill and picnic table we enjoyed for meals and fire pit for s’mores. We ccanoed and went hiking and enjoyed visiting little town of Jefferson which has a kids train ride / alligator feeding. Host was easily accessible when needed by phone and was away for weekend. Much better than staying at Caddo state park cabin. Just for $25 able to bring our dog too:-)

Beautiful house with great location

This property is amazing! The house is beautiful inside, and the decks outside are fantastic! We had breakfast each morning and dinner each night on the screened upper deck overlooking the river, which was wonderful! Each night before bed we sat in the swing chairs on the lower deck and relaxed listening to music. The location is great too. If you want to kayak in the swamp, it’s just a short trip up the river to Smiths Slough, which will take you right into some amazing swamp areas in Carters Lake. Great fishing back in there too, and we even saw some beautiful birds and a couple of wild pigs. This was our first time at Caddo Lake, but we’ll be going back, and when we do we will definitely plan on staying at this property!
