We loved our stay in this beautiful, modern, clean cabin with wonderful outdoor spaces, right on the Big Cypress River. The beds were super comfy and there was plenty of sofa space for our group of 7. Location was ideal too--a quick and easy 10 min drive to Caddo Lake State Park, and Marshall was a quick 30 minute trip for groceries and Starbucks. Highly recommend and hope to visit again in the future!
Excellent house on the river, extremely clean and every convenience that you would need. The family had a great time and we also caught some fish. Would highly recommend staying at this location. Communication was excellent.
As advertised- which is always refreshing when you check in and dont feel dupped lol. Clean, new, awesome location. Proactive and responsive host. Kitchen is very serviceable with about everything you need to make meals on site.
Wanted a little getaway exploration to caddo lake and couldn/t have been happier with the accommodations at th LILLY PAD . Great as advertised - Modern finishes the Bath & Shower room is luxurious , as weel as the Kitchen layout - Bed was confortable and the the place was CLEAN & FRESH. I wish we 'd brought a boat to explore more - but we did go an a boat tour at local marina which was great !We will be planning another trip for sure -Gary
This is a perfect place to get away and enjoy the peace and serenity on the water. This house is immaculately clean and they did not skimp on any detail. The beds are so comfortable that we actually stripped the one in the master bedroom to see what brand it was. We enjoyed waking up with a cup of coffee on the porch that over looks the water and fishing of the dock. We’ve talked about how great our trip was and how amazing the house was all week and will be back very soon!
My wife and I have been renting VRBO house’s for over 20 years and we were so impressed with our stay. The house was stocked with everything you could ever need and there was instructions on how to use everything. Our host was the sweetest person, anything we asked she got back to us almost instantly. We rate this a 10 out of 5, we think it was the best VRBO experience we’ve ever had and highly recommend staying here.
Thanks for everything, we will be back.
