We had such an amazing stay at Gator Lodge! Everything was spotless and so well kept you can tell the Sloan’s truly care about their guests’ experience. They were incredibly kind, responsive, and made everything feel easy from start to finish.The views were absolutely breathtaking, especially at sunset. It was so peaceful and quiet exactly what we needed to relax and unwind. If you’re looking for a serene getaway surrounded by natural beauty, this is the perfect spot. The pier and boat dock were perfect for sitting and parking our boat for night. We will definitely be back!

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.

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!

This property was great. It has everything and more that you will need and want for just a weekend stay or a long week stay. Great lake access with a great dock that you can dock your boat, fish off of, or just sit and enjoy the great lake views. We fished for 4 days straight all over the lake and caught our biggest fish right in front of the dock here. The owners are just next door and will help with anything you may need. We cant wait to get back.

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.

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!

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!
