It was wonderful! Located perfectly on the river. We were just down from Great Pine Lodge and up from Johnson Creek. The house had everything we needed for our stay. We will be staying with them again.

Wonderful rustic fish camp! Great location! We weren't there to fish but loved sitting on the screen porch overlooking the river and watching the boats go by. The area is very peaceful and secluded but close to anything you need --- especially several good eating spots! This cabin has a good layout and is very spacious. Beds are comfortable, had a great night's sleep!

Trip with my parents
My wife and I have been to Caddo in the past. Took this trip to bring my parents to see Caddo lake. Really enjoyed the lake. The location of this house is great. Woke up early and enjoyed the sounds of the Bayou. The house was perfect for four people. Took everyone out on my boat every morning and evening. Visited Jefferson on Friday. Great little town. This area will definitely be in our trip rotation every few years. Have to come in the fall.
