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.

Fishing trip
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.

Relaxing Vacation
My husband, myself, and our 2 teenagers stayed at this property and really loved it. It was very relaxing, clean, and well-suited to our needs. Furthermore, while off the beaten path, we enjoyed visiting both Jefferson and Shreveport during our stay.

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!

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!
