Caddo Lake Thanksgiving!
Liz and Sam are amazing hosts who were receptive to our needs. We had a glorious day of cooking for Thanksgiving, then canoeing, fishing, hiking, campfire, and more. Caddo Lake is eerily beautiful; perfect!

Waterfront view
Comfortable beds, clean shower with good water pressure, and cold AC. Bonus was being able to overlook the lake from either the deck or back room of the home. Or just watching the squirrels play in the trees. The stairs may be too steep for the elderly or those with bad joints. Would stay here again if in the area.

We absolutely loved Gator Lodge! Sam and Elizabeth were so kind to us and the cabin was just as advertised. We enjoyed the privacy, the view and that the cabin was impeccably clean and neat. We'll be back and highly recommend it!

We loved it, beautiful sunsets view from the pier. Took our boat out to cruise the lake. Boat slip was nice to keep from having to load the boat up from each trip. Would stay again.

An East Texas Gem!
This is a wonderful cabin for a quiet retreat. From breakfasts on the deck overlooking the lake to afternoons on the dock watching the world go by, you can’t ask for a better property. The hosts are very responsive and made sure we had everything to make our stay memorable. One evening as thunderstorms rolled through, the host stopped by to ensure we were safe. Also, Jefferson, with several nice restaurants and shops, is worth the short drive.

Great place to stay for a fishing trip. Having the boat slip to dock your boat overnight is great. Boat launch right down the road.

Loved it!
This was our 2nd time staying at this property, and we'll do it again next year. The house has just about everything you'd need, and it's clean & comfortable. It being on the lake made our stay super convenient & extremely enjoyable. I can't wait to go back next year!

Relaxing
Very peaceful...it has a different atmosphere than other rivers or lakes we've been. There are many very old cypress trees here, so beautiful, and really add to the whole vibe of the place. The owner visited with us a little bit. She is a very friendly & interesting lady. This is by far one of the coolest places we've been!!

Perfect getaway
The Treehouse was perfect for our last minute get away! Boat slip 1/8th mile down the road makes getting kayaks/boats very easy to get into water and to the pier. The property also has a canoe, kayak and life jackets. Fire pit had firewood stacked beside it with several chairs. Great pier for fishing and relaxing. We enjoyed playing the board games and reading books that were in the cabin. Host were very responsive and helpful! Not a problem for us, however some guest may need to be aware there are several steps down to/from the pier. We enjoyed being elevated from the water and a higher view out over the lake!

Just chillin’
We chose to hangout, do a little fishing, and took a break from responsibility. This was the perfect setting for that! The cabin had everything we needed for our three day stay. The hosts were nearby, but not obtrusive in any way. We took a short jaunt to historic Jefferson for a little antiquing and lunch. We had a great time.

The Tree House
We enjoyed our stay. There was a great view from the living room. The kitchen had everything needed to be able to make meals. We enjoyed a trek in the canoe and appreciate it being there to use. Lizey and Sam were very good hosts. I would recommend The Tree House to others.
