About this property
Caddo River Shack - 2 secluded acres with Kayaks and outdoor tub - Pet Friendly
Enjoy a park-like and secluded 2 acres on the Caddo River with over 1/4 mile of river frontage. This clean, comfortable, simple "Shack" sits close to the water with free kayaks for guests to enjoy during their stay. Watch the river and deer from the screened porch, kayak up and downstream from the property, swim in the 8-foot-deep swimming area or wade in the shallows. Sit around the fire as owls call out and eagles and osprey soar through the valley. Bathe in the outdoor tub on the screened porch!
The shack is comfortable, clean, and full of simple amenities, but it is not a luxurious accommodation. There is only one bed, so the shack is not suitable for families or groups. It's a great romantic spot for a couple or the lone-traveler seeking a beautiful and semi-secluded spot on the river. So, shack up at the River Shack for a few nights and discover how Shacktastic this spot on the Caddo River really is!
The Caddo River is a popular kayaking and tubing river in Arkansas. In the summer, you will enjoy watching groups of people float past in the afternoon! It gets especially busy on weekends and holidays in the summer. However, weekdays and off-season days are much quieter. From October to March, you will rarely see anyone else on the river and can enjoy the water by yourselves. March through May is mostly just weekend floaters.
Additional notes on seclusion: This is the only rental on the 2-acre property. There are only two neighbors in the area, and they are separated by a lot of trees so your part of the river will feel secluded and private. There is a clean ranch across the paved road that hosts beautiful Brahmas. There is no development across the river giving you more shoreline and woods to explore. You may hear a lumber processing plant across the river in the distance through the trees and occasionally kayakers will treat you to their favorite tunes as they float by. The river is usually very quiet, allowing you to be alone on the water most days between September and May. However, weekends, holidays, and warm summer days sometimes bring a lot of tubers and kayakers to the water during the day. It's usually quiet again in the evenings even on summer days.
Location: The Shack is only 2 miles from Glenwood on a paved road. In Glenwood are restaurants, a grocery store, and pharmacies.
Cell service: We are thankful to have good cell service on the property although some carriers are not great inside the shack.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Todd Lippincott

Todd and his wife are both Geologists who love traveling and being outdoors. We enjoy hosting guests because it allows other people to enjoy the places we love when we can't be there ourselves. We don't bother our guests in person unless they need something, but we enjoy getting to know people from all around the US and beyond!
Why they chose this property
The little cabin sits on 2 very pretty acres next to the Caddo River. We think it's one of the prettiest spots on the river with great access to both shallow water and deep swimming areas. Across the paved road is a beautiful Brahma cattle ranch. Watch the sun set over the mountain behind the ranch. Upstream and downstream of the cabin are very nice, quiet neighbors who you'll probably never see. Across the river is just trees, but you will hear a tree/lumber processing factory in the distance.
What makes this property unique
The little cabin that we call The Shack is the type of place we enjoyed on our honeymoon! Although only 2 miles from town, it feels more secluded than most rentals since you can't easily see any neighboring homes through the trees. Set on the Caddo River, you will enjoy a variety of people floating by on summer days. After Labor day and before May, the river will be empty of other people most of the time.
