One of a Kind-Get Away/Big Cypress Bayou Near Jefferson&Caddo
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!

My favorite things were:Access to kayaks and paddle trails,The back porch and it's view,Remote feel but not far from Jefferson,Friendliness and attentiveness of caretaker and host.And being able to bring my dog. I'm very grateful for that.Looking forward to coming back!
This is a great place to stay on Big Cypress Bayou/Caddo Lake. It is so peaceful and the Cypress trees are beautiful! Coach checked in on us daily to see if we needed anything.
This place was perfect for our little kayakung trip. The trail through, and to, Clear Lake was definitely our favorite. The location was perfect and the property as advertised. Caddo Lake State Park was close by, just a short drive away.
To say we enjoyed this property is an understatement! The location was incredible, very quite, and the fishing couldn’t have been better. We will definitely be back!
Peaceful spot with perfect deck for morning coffee
It was perfect spot to stay to meet up with my photography group. Communication with owner and property manager was a Breeze. Great location on Big Cypress Bayou.
Coach gave us a warm welcome and was there if we needed anything. This spot has a beautiful view and awesome fishing! We caught over 30 bass here on our weekend stay! Great place to sit on back porch and relax!
Everything was wonderful.the place in its self was so relaxing and quiet.it was clean.Coach was amazing.checked on us which was nice to see if we needed anything and we loved listening to his story's.small world that he coached around our area.would love to go back sometime again.
We had a fantastic time at the cabin! Cozy quiet and peaceful. Coach took extra good care of us and he’s a gem! Looking forward to a relaxing return and fishing next time around!!!
Better than pictured. Great communication. Perfect location. Great amenities, the best surprise being Coach. Hopefully being back in the future. Strongly recommend this listing.
We had the most fun and relaxing stay than any other vacation rental we have stayed. A wonderful host always available if you need him. Coach gave us a warm welcome and was there if we needed anything. This spot has a beautiful view. Great place to sit on back porch and relax! We will definitely book again.
Had a great time! The patio was our favorite spot! There had been a lot of rain so fishing was not good for us. We drove around the bayou it was amazing! We will definitely be back.
We brought our two grandsons to this unique and wonderful property. They had so much fun kayaking and fishing off the porch. Although with the rain, we didn’t catch any fish, we still explored the hidden lake and other places up the river. The cabin was clean and the perfect size for our needs. Coach was awesome and so very friendly and helpful. We’ll be back to visit this place again!
We loved the property! We spent most our of time on the back deck; very peaceful! Everything was clean & well kept. Coach was an awesome host!!! We will definitely be back!
We always wanted to visit the Caddo Lake area, but really didn't know what to expect. This getaway on the bayou was a very pleasant surprise for us and had beautiful scenery! It was also a bonus to meet Coach, who was a great host and right across the road in case we needed anything!
