Guest Reviews:

- "Owners went above and beyond to get us to houseboat! Nicest people, would love to go back!" - "This was our first trip to Caddo Lake, but certainly won't be our last! What an incredible place to come to escape from it all! The kayak launch a few minutes away brought us to such an immaculate, serene part of the lake. My husband + I live on the water on Bayou Bonfouca in Louisiana, so we are always on the water & taking in the beautiful views + sounds of nature. But it was so nice to experience the nature on this lake. Different bird sounds, different aquatic plants, different water. Everyone we encountered was so friendly, too! Thank you for providing such a comfortable + unique stay that made our visit even better! The fireworks for the 4th were also AMAZING!!! Thank you!"

This property was once a horse ranch where Tennesee Walkers, Missouri Fox Trotters, and Quarter Horses once freely roamed. I used to wake up to a horse staring into my window, waiting for a treat.
