Everything was as I was told. Great place to stay. We enjoyed it. Parking was great. I couldn’t think of anything else. It was perfect. Thanks for letting us use your cabin.
Check-in process was easy. Molly was super fast at responding. House was precious and the perfect cozy cottage. We enjoyed using the kayaks that were provided and hanging out on the floating dock. Will definitely be booking here again!
Host and family next door were friendly and welcoming:) Perfect location for my husband who loves to fish in his new boat, and for me who loves site seeing and searching for a location to buy or build a camp. We have friends nearby and love the lake access. Returning in September.
Made our annual trip to Molly's, and once again, everything was amazing! The cabin has all of the amenities you'd want or need. Combine that with a gorgeous view, friendly neighbors, and a perfect split deck (half covered, half open), and it's the perfect recipe for a stress free vacation.
We'll definitely be back!
Very private and quiet. Perfect for fishing trip. Only negative was little room to park boat and no ramp close. The old boat on lift should be trailered for guests to launch n park one time. Great place
Very relaxing and peaceful. Beautiful patio overlooking lake to watch sunrise and sunset. Spent most of our time in the boat or on the patio. Couldn't have asked for better weather. Lake house very nice and comfortable bed.
Clean and quiet cottage. Enjoyed my much needed vacation. Caney lake being one of the premier bass fishing lakes in Louisiana makes being on the water even better. Molly was a wonderful person to work with and she will be hearing from us soon to book another trip. If you looking for a place on the water to get away from it all this is the place.. thanks Molly

It’s my goal to always make sure this place fits all your needs! Because let’s be honest, Caney Lake never disappoints and I want to strive and make every stay perfect and comfortable!!
My ultimate goal is to get Return guest year after year. I am willing to work hard for that . Would Love to have you back anytime.
It was just as the pictures show .. the lake house was clean and just what we were looking for. The only complaint was having to park so far away but i needed the exercise!
One hundred percent as good as (or even better than) advertised! I honestly don't think the photos do it justice. Great communication from Molly, and her parents are super helpful and friendly if you need anything.
We'll definitely come here again.
Very peaceful. Much needed slow down. Fishing was mind relaxing. Had place to cook outside on the flat grill , or barbecue on the pit. We had the best neighbors. Thanks for everything. This was our second time staying here. Next time maybe we come with Grandbaby’s.

We only stayed one night enroute to a destination. The inside was clean and accurate, according to the photos. It is an older property and a bit dated but served our purposes. The patio/deck was a bit disappointing. The grill was not the one pictured. It was dirty and rusted through. The large griddle like fryer was also dirty and rusted. The pictures indicated the presence of a fish cleaning station, but it had been removed. There was a new floating dock, which was nice. There were plenty of bream right off the dock, so fishing (especially for kids) would have been fun. It was very quiet and peaceful, and the view of the water and surrounding camps was pretty.
My Grandson loves to fish and we go a lot together so I was hoping to carry him to Caney for a couple days. He invited a friend of his, well the cabin was perfect for the get away, I was able to tie my boat up to the dock which is actually the cabin itself. the cabin was very clean, and boat or not provides access to the lake for fishing, beautiful setting out on the deck. Mr Beach who is Miss Molly's dad lives next door and he was great and has a beautiful place as well. Highly recommend this booking if going to Caney
