The houseboat was super fun. It was really cool to be able to sit on the roof and enjoy the views. Having access to the kayaks at no charge was the cherry on top. I absolutely loved kayaking around the lake and exploring the cypress trees with my family!
The houseboat is really cozy and the location is near all of the different places we wanted to visit in the area (Jefferson and Caddo Lake State Park). One of my favorite things was looking at the stars from the roof of the houseboat. A great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. The flea market up the road was charming and fun, and the outpost nearby was very convenient for small groceries/sundries.

Owners went above and beyond to get us to houseboat! Nicest people, would love to go back!
My husband and i stayed on a Monday night in mid Sept, which was very peaceful. The location is directly across from the iconic tearoom built circa 1900. It's also a great spot for bird watching, and had a cozy bed and loveseat. Everything was as listed and all in working order, including toilet &shower work AC unit. AAlso, the
This quaint house boat is tucked into a scenic spot on Caddo lake. The front porch base the best view of the historic Tea House on Caddo. The Canoes and Kayaks have an easy spot to launch from for a short adventure or if you’d like to book a tour hop next door to Johnson’s Marina. If you need a quick snack or refreshment the marina also has you covered.
This was our first trip to Caddo Lake, but certainly won't be our last! What an incredible place to come to escape from it all! The kayak launch a few minutes away brought us to such an immaculate, serene part of the lake. My husband + I live on the water on Bayou Bonfouca in Louisiana, so we are always on the water & taking in the beautiful views + sounds of nature. But it was so nice to experience the nature on this lake. Different bird sounds, different aquatic plants, different water. Everyone we encountered was so friendly, too! Thank you for providing such a comfortable + unique stay that made our visit even better! The fireworks for the 4th were also AMAZING!!! Thank you!
