Great place for a couple, it is pretty small but has everything you need, and the screened porch is huge. Everything looked and felt really clean. The host was very responsive and accommodating. Great place to stay if you want to be on the water but away from the boat noise.

I totally agree that it’s nice to be on the water but away from the loud boat noise. I love our tributary, its beauty and peace. One of my favorite paddle trails right off the property. We also love the huge screened in porch plenty of room for a nice family bbq at both tables and still lots of room. I’m glad you enjoyed it- you all are welcome back anytime!

Only negative is the body wash canister was empty. The cabin is perfect for two. Loved the large screen porch.
I don't know that I would describe this as waterfront. But we didn't mind.

Excellent host, went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. Much appreciated!As far as the cabin, we absolutely loved it. Goofy weather (spring in Texas) kept the fish away but the kayaks definitely made up for it. Nice and quiet, but not secluded, so hopping over to Jefferson or the refuge was a short, easy drive.One big bed and a pullout couch was perfect for the three of us, and as others have noted, the huge screened in porch was fantastic. Overall highly recommend the cabin and host. A, well done

1st time in Caddo Lale area. Off the beaten path literally. Potholes en route. In town for Jeff tx battle. Anywag the screened in balcony spacious. We dines outside a couple times. Really liked the plug in string lites in The balcony. Inside all good. We brought groceries so used the fridge and micro and coffee maker. Bathroom little tight but glad good hot water and shower pressure. Bed very comfy. Good wifi. Never turned on TV. Very cool evenings so turned on heater. Anyway we didn't use the outside enough. Hot tub? We hope to be back to use it during a less busy time.

We had a great time and enjoyed our stay in the Tackle Box! We loved being near the tributary and a kayak's trip away from the bayou, and loved spending our afternoons reading on the enclosed porch after a day of hiking. Very clean and well appointed kitchen.

Ahhh- sounds wonderful! The screened in porch is our favorite place! Im so glad you enjoyed the cabin, kayaks and hikes. Yes, I have the best cleaning company around! You all are welcome back anytime. Come and try the different seasons- Winter: crappie fishing, smores and fire pit. Spring with new vegetation, water lilies, kayaking, sounds of the bayou coming to life and bbq. Summer with kayaking, swimming in the bayou, napping on the queen futon on the screened in porch and fall you have already experienced with the leaves changing color. All are picturesque. We welcome you back every time!

This cabin is quite a gem. Cozy, well equipped and in a great location. We visited in the fall, but I think the full potential is achieved in the summer, with ample outdoor opportunities. We had an overall great experience and will be returning in the future.

The cabin was very comfortable and well-furnished. Plenty of hot water and a good shower. The air conditioner worked particularly well. The location was just what we were looking for—on the banks of a slough that connected to Big Cypress Bayou. We were able to put in right by the cabin, but we weren’t bothered by the boat traffic out on the bayou.
