About this property

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!

**All rentals paid in full at the time reservations are made thru VRBO. Mandatory 30 day cancellation policy for full refund unless in special off-season bookings when times are reduced for cancellations ** SEE DETAILED DIRECTIONS FROM I-20 by clicking on 'view map'.

Super Hosts and Awesome Get Away Retreat!

At the last minute we were unable to make our trip. After communication with host, who btw is really quick to answer and was very willing to work with us, it was agreed our granddaughter would go in our place. She loved the place, loved the peacefullness and though alone said she didn't feel concerned in any way. The host and Coach were there doing some repairs when she arrived and gave her a tour and acquainted her with everything. She couldn't say enough nice things about it all. I look forward to being able to get there eventually!! Thank you Browns for sharing your little slice of paradise!

First time near Caddo!

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!

Spring Break Get-a-Way

Loved the interior finish out & decor of this fishing cabin as well as the upper deck that looks out over the bayou!! The deck was 10-15 ft over the bayou with great views and fishing access. Having rented the 2-seat kayak was a huge success with my 5 & 7 y/o grandkids!!! That was their favorite activity followed by their constant bike riding on the dirt road!! We used the fire pit several times but glad we brought our own wood, as the host charges for firewood. At the fire pit there are only aluminum frame chairs without cushions, so glad we brought our own chairs. King size bed was soft but comfortable. In the 2nd bedroom, our 5 & 7 y/o grandkids used the futon cushions to make a fort and slept on the floor. Coach was there to greet us upon arrival and was very helpful & available.

Quiet stay

The property is pretty close to advertised. We enjoyed the stay on the water, fished from the deck. The lower deck was not accessable which was disappointing so we could fish closer to the water. Would rent again.

About the host

Hosted by Randy and Holley Brown

Host profile image
We have two children from my husband's first marriage and enjoy spending not only family time at the cabin, but also time alone. We hope you will enjoy the place. Anyone who spends time with us at the River wants to return. We hope you will too!!

Why they chose this property

We enjoy water sports. We enjoy fishing. We enjoy relaxing. This is a perfect spot for unwinding from the daily grind. It is easy access to Jefferson and to Shreveport if we want to pick up the pace a little. We can take our boat into Jefferson and park at the riverbank and shop and eat! Too many great reasons to list.

What makes this property unique

We enjoy taking a boat ride into Jefferson for breakfast on Sundays. We enjoy the secluded area we live in. We have a boating ramp that is within 100 yards of our home, so we have a great time on the water. We can fish right off of our deck because the cabin was built on the riverbank and much, much more.
