Very peaceful area away from the main boat traffic. House had everything you need and exactly as advertised. The host was very responsive and friendly. Our group decided this was our best place we’ve stayed in the area and will definitely book here again. Perfect!

This was such a nice place to stay! The location was great (right on the water and close to Jefferson). There were six of us and we had plenty of room to hang out and sleep comfortably. The screened in back porch gave us a mosquito-free way to enjoy the view. We also appreciated the elevator!

Outstanding host

All around great stay. House comes with everything you need to make your stay comfortable and the location is perfect. Boat ramp and dock was a major plus. Ramp was well maintained and easy to put the boat in.

This is an absolutely gorgeous property with a peaceful atmosphere. It’s close to fine dining Restaurants in Jefferson,Tx. We dined at Serenity Ranch. That was a 5 star dining experience with a Texas flair! There are pontoon boat tours of Caddo Lake at Johnson’s Ranch nearby this vacation rental. We enjoyed this vacation rental and the Host and the Owner were great and communicate well if we had any questions.

We have stayed at this house many times. It is perfect in every way and so peaceful. If I could give it a 10 I would. The elevator is wonderful for loading and unloading luggage etc. The house is so comfortable and has everything you need. We have stayed at many places on girls trips and many of them are not what they seem. truly cannot say one single thing that was not fabulous.

The private island road was spooky at first, but the home is absolutely gorgeous with the remote access. Very peaceful and well kept!

This place was more than what we could have imagined. Beautiful house and property. We stayed mid April. Fully stocked house, from kitchen/cooking supplies, cleaning supplies, and all the other amenities for daily living. The boat ramp on-site was a huge plus. A perfect pier for fishing, relaxing, and tying your boat. Also had a small cover on the property you can park a small boat under, or the garage. Mosquito repellent tubes were placed around the property, we had zero mosquitos the entire time. The screened in porch was very nice. Plenty of firewood and a nice fire area. Very secluded road and property, with no noisy or active neighbors. All around perfect property, highly recommend!

Charming Lake House

We had the most wonderful stay at this charming lake house! The house was spotless and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. The view of Lake Caddo is absolutely breathtaking—there’s nothing like waking up and enjoying a cup of coffee on the lovely screened-in porch. We also loved the little dock, which was perfect for some peaceful fishing.The boat launch was super convenient for putting in our kayaks, and we had so much fun on the water. Plus, being so close to Big Pines Lodge made it easy to enjoy a delicious dinner just a short drive away. We also had a great time walking around the historic town of Jefferson.This trip was such a treat for the family, and we’ll definitely be planning another stay here in the future. Highly recommend this gem for anyone looking to unwind, enjoy nature, and make some great memories!

Had a great time. The house was perfect. We have elderly parents and the elevator was so helpful. They were able to get from car up to main floor of the house easily. The view from the screened in porch was absolutely beautiful. We also enjoyed watching the boats pass by. My parents had fun with the really tall swing. It is by the lake and made for some fun pictures. The location of the house is very convenient to the boat tour we went on just a 10 minute drive. We also went in to Jefferson which is about 20 minutes away. The host was very helpful with info about the area and recommended several restaurants. She answered my questions quickly through messages in the Vrbo ap. I would stay here again.
