Lakeside getaway

This is a beautiful cabin in a prime spot on Caddo Lake! Our grandchildren loved their "game room" as they called it. We enjoyed early morning fishing in our pajamas out at the private dock while we watched the sun rise and had a great time canoing and kayaking in the canoes and kayaks that were provided. It was a pleasure meeting the property owners, great people that were available for any needs. After our magical weekend of making memeories with our children and grandchildren on the most beautiful lake we plan to make this stay a family tradition!

Fishing and lodging.

The Lodge was perfect. There was a little confusion during check-in and the access instructions to the lodge was not clear, but Ms Sarah quickly took care of things and all went well. The power did go out for the entire area during the first 3 to 5 hours, but that issue was not the fault of the owner/staff and instead an issue with the town or county officials. Ms Sarah and Ms Melanie definitely deserve praise and a raise, because they were both excellent and extremely helpful and accommodating. My fam and I had a great time. Thanks again, ladies! Bravo! 5 stars!

Ok but could be better

Not real clean. Boat house not available most time. No big trash bend by cabin or rooms. Everything else ok. Little to expensive for me.

Great Place & People

We decided to do our sibling trip this year at a more central point for all of us. The Uncertain Lodge worked really well. We brought a regular size ping pong table with us - we had one growing up. More than enough room to compete and just have a blast. Tina and her husband we very friendly and accommodating. Thank you for you hospitality. Highly recommended... ***be sure to learn about the history there....W O W!!!

Heating an cooling system

The upstairs bedroom is unusable pretty much for sleeping. In order to warm the downstairs area you will suffocate upstairs. So we had to basically sleep on couches down stairs instead. Then the game room you freeze since there isn't a working unit in there and no air vents for the HVAC system. The window unit doesn't work

6 guys fishing the KBF National Championship

Great place to stay, will definitely use again next time I am in the area. Could use some dresser drawers/closets to put cloths in for long stays and towel racks in bath rooms, and ice maker in fridge to work, but otherwise a very nice clean and comfortable place to stay. Can't wait to come fish here again and see if this place is available?

We love the lake the boat slip and the owners kindness and willing to help. Canoe and kayaks are offered for free to the visitors. Good getaway for the weekend. Third room was a little bit of code, old and rusty.

Easy and relaxing

The Incertain lodge was incredibly spacious, the accommodations were perfect for our large group, and the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. The Talley’s were wonderful hosts that we hope turn into life long friends as we intend to return often over the years.

About the host

Hosted by Keith Talley

Host profile image
Leanne and I both grew up in Marshall Texas - in fact, we grew up directly across the street from one another. Our friendship started early on. Leanne left town to pursue a degree in nursing, and I remained in town, pursuing my dream of living on Caddo Lake. I have been to many lakes over the years, but I have always had a passion and love for Caddo Lake. I moved here to Caddo Lake in 2020, where I began making my dreams come true. The only thing missing, was my dream girl to share in the experience with me. Leanne and I rekindled our friendship long distance, as she was living in the DFW area. In April 2025, we married on our property here on Caddo Lake, and she and our son Parker, now call Caddo Lake "our home", and we enjoy making memories every day!
We look forward to meeting all of our guests, and helping you create memories as well!

Why they chose this property

When I saw this property with such stunning views and perfect access to the lake that I love, I knew that this was the perfect opportunity to share the gift of Caddo Lake with everyone else. Our property is located in one of the most popular areas of the lake, offering guests the most optimal experience. Leanne, Parker, and I live a half mile away, allowing us to visit with the guest and share the history of Caddo Lake everyone.
