Great stay if you are looking for a remote quiet trip

Perfect location for a quiet getaway. Loved the scenery of the bayou and surrounding areas. Wanted to take a quick camping trip to the woods to get away from the day to day stresses. Caddo Lake and the Jefferson area was exactly what we was looking for. Checked off all the boxes!!!

A Fantastic Place to Stay

This is a fantastic place to stay, even if you don't fish or kayak. The cabin is lovely and very accommodating. Our favorite thing to do was to relax on the deck and watch the wildlife. It was so peaceful and serene. The location was great: in the woods, on the bayou, and between Jefferson and Caddo Lake. We absolutely loved it!

Peaceful stay on the bayou

We had a fun getaway in East Texas and loved using the docks for fishing, the kayaks, and the fire pits with a healthy supply of wood!! Inside was beautiful, couch comfy, kitchen well-equipped, bathrooms spacious (and loved the electric fireplaces on the wall in there), and king sized beds! We really liked the Captain Ron Swamp Tour in nearby Caddo Lake.

Wonderful Secluded Gem

This place is off the beaten path and really unique. This place can comfortably sleep 8 people and has plenty of outside deck area. Although we aren't fishers... This is a great place for people who fish. The grandkids loved the loft room and unique steps up to that room. The place was clean and had plenty of linens and beach towels. We had a great time.

Cabin in the woods

The house and location between Caddo Lake and Jefferson was just perfect for our family getaway. The owners thought of so many conveniences to make the place feel like home as soon as you arrive. It’s hard to pick a favorite part between the multiple decks, kayaks, fire ring, comfortable beds and beautiful bathrooms. We loved every part!

FAMILY TRIP

The cabin was extremely nice. It was decorated beautifully and the owners were really easy to communicate with. All of the guys loved fishing off the deck. This is a good meeting place for us and my son that lives in Houston. I am sure we will be back.

Beautiful and peaceful!

This was our second stay at this amazing property. It was just as amazing as the first time. So much to do at the house, the owners thought of everything! On my first review I joked the only thing missing was a big tea pitcher. I had to laugh this time when I saw a huge tea pitcher! It is truly a lovely magical place!

About the host

Hosted by Eve C Albin

We're just a family of 6 that fell in love with the river and with Jefferson.

Why they chose this property

There's so much to do at Old Cypress River House.
There's a boat launch less than a mile away and place at the cabin to tie up your boat.
End the night playing board games by the fireplace inside. Go on a river tour through the Cypress forest with Captain Ron's Swamp Tours and have a catfish dinner at Big Pines Lodge, or be brave and order the alligator!
You're 15 minutes from Caddo Lake in one direction, 10-15 minutes from Jefferson in the other and 30 minutes from Lake of the Pines where you can rent a boat at Bull Frog's.

Bedrooms
Bedroom 1 is huge! It has a King bed with an attached bathroom with a jet tub and a shower.
There is a 55" smart TV in this room.

Bedroom 2 is also huge! It has a King bed. The bath is not attached but is right next door and has a claw foot tub with a hand held shower.
There is a 55" smart TV in this room.

Bedroom 3 is a bit smaller and has bunk beds and an attached bath with a bathtub and shower combo.

Bedroom 4 is not really a bedroom. It is a loft with 2 twin beds.

Dining
There is dining space for 8: a small table for 4 and 4 counter stools at the bar.

Seating
There is a sectional that seats 6 comfortably. 4 dining chairs can be easily used
for extra seating.

WIFI
There is a 55" smart TV in the living room. There is Satellite WIFI available. Hulu, Disney and Netflix can be signed into on all TVs. Remember, what you are trying to do is "get away from it all;" but because we are off the beaten path the satellite internet signal can be spotty at times. Internet gaming on the WIFI is not available since it is Satellite WIFI and there is a delay.

What makes this property unique

You're out/away from it all, but can run into town for dinner in less than 15 minutes. Jefferson is a great place to explore all of the shops and all of the history. You also have Caddo Lake 15 minutes away and Lake of the Pines 30 minutes away.
