About this property
Swamp Life #1
Swamp Life is located on beautiful Caddo lake. Swamp Life has 1 full size bed, 1 twin size bed, 1 bathroom. We offer a 2-burner electric cook top for your convenience. You must bring your own cooking utensils as we DO-NOT provide any. Swamp Life also has a full-size refrigerator, microwave & coffee maker (2 coffee cups/2 maxwell house coffee packets, creamer & sugar). All bed linens & bath towels/wash cloths (one small bar of soap) are provided. NO-SMOKING of ANY KIND in this room. (There is a $100.00 room recovery fee to cover the cost of restoring room to a smoke-free condition) Swamp Life faces the street side of Uncertain Lodge & Inn with beautiful Caddo lake behind you. The Uncertain Lodge & Inn is located on a picturesque piece of property with direct access to historic Caddo Lake. Both the Lodge & Inn overlook the sprawling grounds leading right up to the water's edge. In addition to the beautiful views, our property also boasts a 3-bay covered boat house & fishing pier and is next door to a local boat launch. When you are not out enjoying the water, we have a covered grilling patio with picnic tables and 3 charcoal grills (bring your own charcoal/lighter fluid & grilling utensils). Time spent at the Uncertain Lodge & Inn is sure to give you a relaxing escape. From grilling and playing games in the lake front yard, to fishing and boating activities on the 25,400-acre lake, you will never run out of memory making activities. Great fun and family activities that would make you want to stay longer. So don't forget to bring your fishing pole & camera.

About the host
Hosted by Keith Talley
I have been to many lakes over the years, but I have always had a passion and love for Caddo Lake. I was only two weeks old when my parents first brought me out on the lake. Ever since then, I have found various ways to enjoy the lake setting. One of my favorite hobbies is speedboat racing! I spend as much of my free time as I can out on the water in the mud or jet boat. The water is my happy place and when I saw this property with such stunning views and 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. My side kick Jax (my dog) and I live next to the first location and love to visit with the guest and share the history of Caddo Lake.
