About this property

One of a kind retreat for small families, a romantic get away for two, or fishing/hunting lodge.

This property is built over Big Cypress Bayou river which is 3.3 miles from CADDO Lake, 10 minutes from Historic Jefferson, 20 minutes from old money oil town of Marshall, AND 30 minutes from the wide awake Casino town of Shreveport, LA.

The River House is on a private road which lends to peace and tranquility. Great access to the river for amazing water skiing, jet skiing, and boating awaits. If you're not into water sports, fish all day right off the covered deck. If you have a boat, there is a ramp within 100 yards of the house, and lots of great little fishing holes along the river and back into the cypress forest.

The River House has an outdoor grill. A bonfire is always fun in the cooler months, so sit back relax and enjoy the blaze in the fire pit steps from the house.

The River house is within 10 miles by boat or car to 8,000 acres of public hunting land: deer, squirrel, hog, duck, turkey, and alligator to name a few. You must have a TX hunting license and Type 2 permit. Also, be prepared to follow all TX game and wildlife laws for Marion and Harrison County.

We promise you will not be disappointed with the discovery of this off the beaten path cabin of solitude and good times!

Quiet stay

The property is pretty close to advertised. We enjoyed the stay on the water, fished from the deck. The lower deck was not accessable which was disappointing so we could fish closer to the water. Would rent again.

Private Getaway

Tucked away on the river, this cozy cabin offers a private retreat surrounded by nature. The king size bed is extremely comfortable, the kitchen has everything you need, the water pressure is fantastic, and lots of space on the patio for lounging or fishing. A cute little kitty cat would come by and say hi. Coach was extremely friendly, accommodating, and helpful. Highly recommend!

Fishing on the Bayou

Great property if you want to get away where you can fish off elevated back porch and be close to all Caddo Lake adventures. Host Randy, was very accommodating and super responsive. Coach was great and gave us some good advice on fishing and the area.

Birthday get away

Such a cool river house! We had everything we needed and were very comfortable. The balcony was hit and where we spent most of our time fishing and enjoying the scenery. No luck caring anything but still so fun trying. Coach was gem, such a nice guy. We hope to come back in the fall.

Peaceful on the River

This was a wonderful peaceful stay and it was exactly what my sister and I were looking for. The house was furnished with comfort in mind. The full kitchen had a wonderfully large trough sink that I want in my house, and had everything we needed to cook for ourselves. There is a king size bed that is so comfortable that it made it hard to want to get out of it. We slept in and just laid there enjoying the peace and comfort surrounding this place. You are not around any highways or heavy traveled roads. One side is a flowing deep river, and the other a dirt road leading to a few houses right past us. The pictures of the patio and fishing right off of it, are accurate. And if you aren't catching fish, you are just admiring the tall tree line on the other side of the river and just listening to the birds and crazy nature sounds that kept us guessing on what they were. Night time was the only time this patio was almost inaccessible due to the amount of bugs that water always brings, especially if you turn on the light, but surprisingly there were very few during the day. I would sit out here and drink my coffee or eat lunch/dinner just to listen to the lovely sounds of it. This place was good for ours souls. I can't say enough about it. Around your reservation day, the owner will send you a PIN on your map, use it...trust me. You are 20 minutes from Marshall in small country roads that lead you straight to the river.

Peaceful waterfront living

Property is just as described. The porch over the water is serene. Fish weren't biting, the area is slightly flooded, but a very relaxing getaway. The bed is comfortable. Everything you need for cooking is available, just bring your groceries and don't forget the coffee. The town of Jefferson is nearby with nice restaurants and plenty of antique shops.

Anniversary getaway

We are Texans & this was our 1st time visiting NE Texas & let me tell you it is beautiful up there!! We absolutely loved the cabin, it was perfect for us! Coach was super sweet & a wealth of knowledge about everything from fishing to local attractions. The weather wasn’t good, it was cold & rainy & the bayou was flooding so fishing wasn’t the best but we were able to fish off our covered porch & left with a couple keepers & threw a few back so it was all good! The back porch is heaven…even though it was cold & rainy I was still able to curl up on the couch & watch the rain while remaining dry….I lived out there & had it been warmer, I might have slept out there too. It is also huge & offers many different areas to fish. Inside, the bed was comfy & I’m picky about mattresses….I slept like a baby. The kitchen was updated & well designed. They have all the necessities, we cooked there instead of going out, it was so cozy I had no desire to go anywhere else. The view even beat out antiquing. It’s off the beaten path, but is close to everything. We will definitely be back!

Enjoyed the peacefulness and beauty the property.

I only have good things to say about my stay. The property is rustic and well maintained. The patio view is awesome. I loved being able to fish from the balcony. My fishing luck wasn’t good during my trip. However, the tranquilness of the lake, more than made up for not catching any fish (this time). Coach Guess was a great host. He was friendly, and knowledgeable about, the property and the area. I appreciated Coach Guess and Randy communication it was exceptional. I had no problem finding the property. The cabin was fully stocked with everything you need, for cooking or grilling. Minus the food of course. However, a grocery store is 7 miles away from the cabin. If you’re looking for a peaceful rustic getaway this is the place. I’m looking forward to staying again, once it warms up.

Christmas get away

This was absolute perfect place for a weekend getaway. My husband fished off the back porch. He caught a couple of little ones. Extremely peaceful and very very quiet. One bedroom the other bedroom has a futon. I recommend it for couples. The extra bedroom connects to the back porch and to the master bedroom. So whoever stays there has to come through the master bedroom or outside through the back porch. Husband and I absolutely loved it we will come again during the spring or early summer to see it in full bloom/green

Quiet place on the bayou

The house has a great location with kayaks and fishing right on the bayou. Coach did a great job of anticipating our needs and was very thoughtful. There was a lot of dust buildup on the wall art and ceiling fans as well as soap scum in the shower and stains on the sheets. Aside from those cleanliness concerns, it was a great trip!

About the host

Hosted by Randy and Holley Brown

We have two children from my husband's first marriage and enjoy spending not only family time at the cabin, but also time alone. We hope you will enjoy the place. Anyone who spends time with us at the River wants to return. We hope you will too!!

Why they chose this property

We enjoy water sports. We enjoy fishing. We enjoy relaxing. This is a perfect spot for unwinding from the daily grind. It is easy access to Jefferson and to Shreveport if we want to pick up the pace a little. We can take our boat into Jefferson and park at the riverbank and shop and eat! Too many great reasons to list.

What makes this property unique

We enjoy taking a boat ride into Jefferson for breakfast on Sundays. We enjoy the secluded area we live in. We have a boating ramp that is within 100 yards of our home, so we have a great time on the water. We can fish right off of our deck because the cabin was built on the riverbank and much, much more.
