Thoroughly enjoyed our extended weekend getaway at this place. Multiple areas to relax. Utilized the canoe numerous times. Watched the sunset. Highly recommend.
Place was perfect for a fishing trip. The dock was amazing and the boat ramp was close. The house was super clean and cozy. Absolutely recommend to anyone visiting Caddo lake.
Host was friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be back! The dock is spacious and relaxing to be on and the view is wonderful, the house was very comfortable to be in.
Beautiful property, quiet, no distractions. Short 22 min drive to dining, state park, and boat tours. If you want to do nothing and enjoy nature, this the place!
Very enjoyable, quiet and relaxing stay. Sam and Lize are great hosts who made us feel right at home. This location is fairly remote with stores or restaurants 20 to 30 mins away so just bring what you need. We even had some luck fishing from the boathouse on a rainy day and caught several nice crappie.
My wife and I visited Caddo Lake for her birthday, and we had an extraordinary time staying in this property. If you're looking for a relaxing way to experience the wonders of Caddo Lake, I highly recommend staying here.
Liz and Sam are amazing hosts who were receptive to our needs. We had a glorious day of cooking for Thanksgiving, then canoeing, fishing, hiking, campfire, and more. Caddo Lake is eerily beautiful; perfect!
We absolutely loved Gator Lodge! Sam and Elizabeth were so kind to us and the cabin was just as advertised. We enjoyed the privacy, the view and that the cabin was impeccably clean and neat. We'll be back and highly recommend it!
My husband, myself, and our 2 teenagers stayed at this property and really loved it. It was very relaxing, clean, and well-suited to our needs. Furthermore, while off the beaten path, we enjoyed visiting both Jefferson and Shreveport during our stay.
Caddo lake is one of a kind and i see why you call it home. We enjoyed our stay so much. Lize and Sam were the best hosts ever, Lize even made us home maid zucchini bread. We enjoyed our stay much and will be back for sure.
The hosts were so nice and the place was perfect . We put our boat in the water easily with the boat ramp so close to lodge. Beautiful sunsets from the deck and great fishing . Thank you Lize and Sam
Very comfortable. Everything you need to relax away all your stress.
Beds were so comfortable and cozy. Views of the lake from the kitchen!
The dock has breathtaking views of the lake
Loved every minute and hated to leave.
From my DIL.....It was so peaceful! The birds and squirrels were my favorite part hahah! The dock was fun ee enjoyed fishing! The house was cute and spacious! They had books and movies! The property was lovely and had seating all around! Our morning coffee outside was wonderful. Such a quiet, relaxing, and magical weekend away!
We loved it, beautiful sunsets view from the pier. Took our boat out to cruise the lake. Boat slip was nice to keep from having to load the boat up from each trip. Would stay again.
This was our 2nd time staying at this property, and we'll do it again next year. The house has just about everything you'd need, and it's clean & comfortable. It being on the lake made our stay super convenient & extremely enjoyable. I can't wait to go back next year!
