We are so glad you enjoyed your time at The Lily Pad!! Come back soon
Being very close to the water was so enjoyable and the deck had a variety of seating. We loved indoor decor and fully stocked kitchen amenities. We hope to be back one day soon!
Great place to enjoy with our 6 friends! All comforts and amenities you could possibly need or want. Loved the decor & outside balcony by the river! And Linna was so hospitable and accommodating! Would stay here again!!!
We loved our stay in this beautiful, modern, clean cabin with wonderful outdoor spaces, right on the Big Cypress River. The beds were super comfy and there was plenty of sofa space for our group of 7. Location was ideal too--a quick and easy 10 min drive to Caddo Lake State Park, and Marshall was a quick 30 minute trip for groceries and Starbucks. Highly recommend and hope to visit again in the future!

We are go glad you all had a great time and we hope you come back soon! Next time you will need to visit Jefferson as well!
This place was fabulous! Clean, spacious and kitchen was fully equipped for cooking. The couch and beds were super comfortable and the bathrooms were clean and had all we needed for a shower or bath. The location felt secluded although there were other cabins on each side of us. 100% recommend!

Excellent house on the river, extremely clean and every convenience that you would need. The family had a great time and we also caught some fish. Would highly recommend staying at this location. Communication was excellent.
As advertised- which is always refreshing when you check in and dont feel dupped lol. Clean, new, awesome location. Proactive and responsive host. Kitchen is very serviceable with about everything you need to make meals on site.
Wanted a little getaway exploration to caddo lake and couldn/t have been happier with the accommodations at th LILLY PAD . Great as advertised - Modern finishes the Bath & Shower room is luxurious , as weel as the Kitchen layout - Bed was confortable and the the place was CLEAN & FRESH.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are so glad you chose to stay with us. Is there anything you wish we would of had at the cabin to make your experience even better?
This is a perfect place to get away and enjoy the peace and serenity on the water. This house is immaculately clean and they did not skimp on any detail. The beds are so comfortable that we actually stripped the one in the master bedroom to see what brand it was. We enjoyed waking up with a cup of coffee on the porch that over looks the water and fishing of the dock. We’ve talked about how great our trip was and how amazing the house was all week and will be back very soon!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are so happy that you all had a wonderful time and we hope that you come back soon!
My wife and I have been renting VRBO house’s for over 20 years and we were so impressed with our stay. The house was stocked with everything you could ever need and there was instructions on how to use everything. Our host was the sweetest person, anything we asked she got back to us almost instantly. We rate this a 10 out of 5, we think it was the best VRBO experience we’ve ever had and highly recommend staying here.
Thanks for everything, we will be back.

About the host
Your host
Hi! We are Jason and Linna Sutton from Marshall, Texas, and we love the water and being outdoors. Caddo Lake and Big Cypress River are our favorite getaway from the hustle and bustle of the daily grind. Some of our favorite things to do are boat ride down the river, go hiking, duck hunting, fishing and enjoying time at the cabin making s'mores and simply enjoying each other's company. Our hope is that you and your loved ones will find enjoyment and relaxation and that you will feel right at home in The Lily Pad on the river.
