Price-performance ratio is not justified

The accommodation has a nice location, however, the price is not justified. The jetty was rotten, the cushions of the sun loungers were dirty and worn out. The outdoor bar was also dirty and not usable. In the living room was black mold on the ceiling, generally the accommodation needs a thorough renovation or else a drastic price reduction.

Family fishing trip

This was a great place in a great spot for my family's yearly Caddo fishing trip. We had plenty of room for the 8 of us and easy access to the lake. The hosts were very flexible and attentive and made us feel very welcomed.

Valentine & Birthday Getaway

Great location on the water. Clean, cozy and inviting. Everything we needed for a quiet weekend away. The hosts went above and beyond. They were very easy to communicate with. We were scoping out a place to bring the family and the boat - we will definitely be back! Thanks for sharing your place with us!

Great place with deck over water near Jefferson and Caddo Lake State Park

We chose this place as a gathering for our family’s Thanksgiving. It was exactly what we were hoping for! The deck over the water was beautiful. We grilled burgers on the gas grill and made s’mores around the fire pit. The stars were spectacular! We spent one day in the cute town of Jefferson and one day in Caddo Lake State Park. Both are an easy drive. We enjoyed it so much, we’re thinking of making it a tradition!

Bayou vacation

Right on the beautiful Bayou. Wonderful views and close to Caddo Lake. Beds were comfortable and the family enjoyed staying here. Enjoyed kayaking on the Bayou. Would be really fun to bring a boat or wave runner/jet ski next time. Had a WiFi connection issue that was quickly resolved. Fresh cookies for us to enjoy when we arrived. We would enjoy staying here again.again

House need work!

House is in great location, right on the water, and stuffed with everything you may need. Host was nice. But… I am not going to mention that deck and house is in bad shape. It is a black mold all over the house! Sealing in living room, master bathroom and who knows where else. We tried to avoid be inside and was happy to leave.

Simply Amazing !!!!

I rented this property for my husband our 5 kids (16,13,13,10,5) and my grandmother just to relax and celebrate my Grandma's birthday. Everything was perfect right down to the details, they even had a bottle of sparkling grape juice and a delicious cake waiting for us when we arrived.

Relaxing place to get away.

The property atmosphere & view was awesome. The home was lacking a few items: not handicap accessible, hot tub not working, few deck boards worn, minimal lighting at night outside.

Amazing mother daughters getaway

This is an older home that has updated furniture and decor. The kitchen is stocked with everything you should need. Bathroom includes amenities with extra touches like qtips and cotton squares. However, the highlight of the home is the location and the deck. We spent most of our time out on the upper deck. Covered patio provided shade from the heat yet open area gave us a beautiful spot to get some sun and enjoy sunrise with our breakfast. Owner recommended a boat tour with Captain Aaron. We second this recommendation. So glad we went. We never even turned on the TV. Enjoyed a quite relaxing few days.

Best View on the Bayou

We totally enjoyed our stay here. The house is so well furnished with everything anyone could need. The best place to hang out is their magnificent back deck area overlooking Big Cedar Bayou. We spent so much time with that beautiful backdrop and happy family vibes. It was our parent's 65th Wedding Anniversary and we had plenty of spaces to add some decor, cook over a nice grill, and watch the sunrise and sunsets together. It was a really special trip with my family and we loved it!

Enjoyed very much our stay. If I had a complaint it would be only that the wifi is slow, in/out. (Not the fault of the property). Sisters had a fun time. And we all love Jefferson. Have been many times.

NO FLY REBOOT

We fly free and could’ve gone anywhere, but sometimes it’s just too much of a hassle. A couple of hours from DFW and an easy drive. No frills but peaceful and quiet with a nice view. The lakehouse was cozy. We had everything we needed.
