About this property
Immaculate, homey and perfectly located for your stay in downtown Ennis.
The Caddis Shack is a cute little cottage that has been newly updated and is ready to be your home away from home. You are not staying in a "rental", you are staying in a home.
Conveniently located 1/2 block off of Main St. Ennis, it is the perfect, centrally located home for your vacation stay. Quiet and well-appointed, it is sure to please after a long hard day on the river.
Take a nice hot shower and enjoy the on-demand water heater while the coals burn to perfection in the Weber BBQ. Throw the wonderful steaks you bought at Deemo's, our local butcher shop, on the coals, and pour yourself a nice cold one from our local Burnt Tree Brewery, or perhaps a cocktail from spirits from our local Willie's Distillery. Enjoy the comfort of the private, shady back yard, as you and your companion swap stories of the "one(s) that got away"!
The smart tv and wifi will help you stay connected, but the good library will offer you a quiet reprieve if you prefer to unplug and simply read and relax.
When it is time to call it a night, crawl into a nice comfy bed, equipped with quality pillows and sheets that are sure to help you get a good night's rest. The sleeper sofas are equipped with inflatable mattresses which are quite comfortable and have quality bedding provided as well. If you would like me to make up the sleeper sofa(s) in advance, please let me know prior to your arrival, otherwise I will leave sheets for you to do so at your own convenience.
The well-appointed kitchen is sure to please the cook in your group.
In the morning, enjoy a cup of coffee or espresso in the comfort of your own kitchen as you whip up some homemade food in the new cookware. If you prefer to dine out, walk the short distance to downtown for breakfast, while you wait for your guide from a local fly shop. Several options abound in town for "fishermen's lunches" in case you are not on a guided trip with lunch provided.
Convenient off-street parking allows you safe and easy access to your vehicle at all times and makes unloading and loading your gear a snap.
I am confident that you will be very comfortable here and will find yourself booking The Caddis Shack for next year's adventure before you even depart. Enjoy your stay!

Loved staying here! Great location to downtown and walking the neighborhood. Was super nice to have a yard to spend time together. Had everything we needed. Will stay again!
The house is a block from town. Walking distance from everything. Even though you are right downtown,it is a very quiet place.The house is well stocked with everything you could possibly need. The bed is very comfortable. I would love to stay there again.
We came to Ennis for high school graduation of my grandson. The house is an absolute perfect location. Completely silent at night, off the main street, so quiet during the day. The backyard is grassy and sunny and has a patio with a table, chairs, and a ready to go barbecue. The inside of the house is very comfortable and complete. I really didn't want to leave! Highly recommend this stay!
This house is much bigger inside than the picture would lead you to believe. Plenty of room, very comfortable accommodations. A very short walk to town and a great place to stay and enjoy all this area of the country has to offer. The plate of cookies was icing on the cake!
Nice house in a great location. Me and my dad stayed here for a father son fishing trip. Right in downtown Ennis, walking distance to bars, restraunts, and fly shops. The host Marina was very welcoming and made sure the house was clean and we had everything we needed. We definitely want to come back here soon!
Went to Ennis to fish and recover from a busy stretch at work. This place was perfect for our needs. Restaurants and shops literally a 2 to 3 minute walk away. Marina was very communicative and responsive anytime we had a question. I would stay there again in a heartbeat!
This is the second stay with Marina for a solo fishing trip. Marina is a great host. The location is fabulous and the home and furnishings are super comfortable. And the welcome cookies were a thoughtful treat. Thank you, Marina! I hope to stay again next year.
This was our 2nd time staying here, and we loved it. Cute house, comfortable, and great location. Just around the corner from Main Street - extremely walkable to the shops & restaurants. There is also a nice, new grocery store in town that is very close by - you could certainly walk to it, if you wanted to. Love the fenced in front and back yards. We live in Florida and don’t really have a change of seasons, so we really enjoyed the beautiful trees & the colorful Fall leaves. This area is well known for its fly fishing.& the stunning Madison River. - definitely try it out!
We enjoyed our stay at Caddies Shack. It was very clean and you had everything you needed. Marina was helpful when you had questions. Allthough the description said there is a TV there wasn‘t and we think the bed was quite small. But alltogether we had a great time in Ennis. Thank you!
My wife and I have stayed at the Caddis Shack for a number of years now. Every time we pull into the drive we feel like we're coming back home. Very little has changed with the house since we started staying there and we like that fact. It's simple, clean and unpretentious. It feels like an actual home and not some sterile, staged real estate listing. And you simply cannot beat the location. Walking distance to downtown and a stone's throw from the Madison. For my wife and I, Caddis Shack is just about perfect.
It's an excellent place for a single person without a car. I fished every other day and worked online. Several breakfast and lunch offerings and grocery stores are close by. The patio and yard with mature trees are a plus. The W & D means I could pack light and wash often. The extensive array of windows gives the house plenty of natural light. The owner/manager was very accommodating.
Super cute property. Reminds me of an updated version of my grandparents home. Super cozy, great amenities, wonderful backyard and perfect location! Couldn't ask for more!
We have been to Ennis a number of times and this was one of the nicest homes we’ve have stayed in. We really enjoyed the cozy feel of the home and Marina was a wonderful host. We will definitely be back.
My husband and I spent several days in this beautiful, cozy cottage. It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. It’s just a block from the Main St.in Ennis where there were lots to see and do. We loved the backyard and how peaceful it was to sit and watch & listen to the birds with our coffee. Loved it.
