The large screened-in deck was great, and the kitchen was well stocked with everything I needed (except ice cube trays, but that was an easy fix). The cabin was really clean and comfortable too. The A/C is set to 85 at checkin so it took a while to cool down but it worked great and there were plenty of fans to keep us cool in the meantime. Overall we had a great time and enjoyed the cabin!

This is a great little getaway spot for my wife’s birthday. Only 15 minutes from Jefferson and Caddo Lake, beautiful drives on the back roads, great view of the creek and awesome to have a fully screened in porch to get away from the bugs. Our misunderstanding was looking solely at the pictures made us feel like It was more secluded than it actually was.

Thank you so much for the 5-star review and for choosing our cabin to celebrate your wife's birthday! We are thrilled that you enjoyed the scenic back roads, the views, and that the screened-in porch kept the bugs at bay.We appreciate your feedback and want to share a fun detail for future travelers. That beautiful creek right in front of the porch is actually a direct waterfront tributary of Caddo Lake! In fact, we provide two complimentary kayaks for our guests. You can paddle right from our property along a 15 min. gorgeous, scenic kayak trail that leads directly into the main channel. The public boat ramp is also just a quick 3-minute drive away. While we do have neighboring properties nearby ( the property is on an acre), we aim to use the natural trees to keep the space feeling like a relaxing retreat.We would love to host you both again for another birthday getaway on the water!

Great place for a couple, it is pretty small but has everything you need, and the screened porch is huge. Everything looked and felt really clean. The host was very responsive and accommodating. Great place to stay if you want to be on the water but away from the boat noise.

I totally agree that it’s nice to be on the water but away from the loud boat noise. I love our tributary, its beauty and peace. One of my favorite paddle trails right off the property. We also love the huge screened in porch plenty of room for a nice family bbq at both tables and still lots of room. I’m glad you enjoyed it- you all are welcome back anytime!

Wonderful property and small cabin only downside was it was 85 degrees upon arrival and took hours to cool the cabin down. The host has the temperature set at 85 in the summer and then the guest can turn it down.

Response from VrboOwner on Aug 15, 2026
Oh no! I wish you would have messaged or called. My number is right on the fridge. The cabin takes about 15 mins to get down to 75. It is a bungalow cabin. It has a mini split where the air can blow cold directly on you. It also has three overhead fans and we keep an extra fan on the porch. This helps the temperature to change quickly. I’m sorry you had to deal with heat. That is not acceptable- we strive hard to give a 5 star experience.

Excellent host, went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. Much appreciated!As far as the cabin, we absolutely loved it. Goofy weather (spring in Texas) kept the fish away but the kayaks definitely made up for it. Nice and quiet, but not secluded, so hopping over to Jefferson or the refuge was a short, easy drive.One big bed and a pullout couch was perfect for the three of us, and as others have noted, the huge screened in porch was fantastic. Overall highly recommend the cabin and host. A, well done

We had a great time and enjoyed our stay in the Tackle Box! We loved being near the tributary and a kayak's trip away from the bayou, and loved spending our afternoons reading on the enclosed porch after a day of hiking. Very clean and well appointed kitchen.

Ahhh- sounds wonderful! The screened in porch is our favorite place! Im so glad you enjoyed the cabin, kayaks and hikes. Yes, I have the best cleaning company around! You all are welcome back anytime. Come and try the different seasons- Winter: crappie fishing, smores and fire pit. Spring with new vegetation, water lilies, kayaking, sounds of the bayou coming to life and bbq. Summer with kayaking, swimming in the bayou, napping on the queen futon on the screened in porch and fall you have already experienced with the leaves changing color. All are picturesque. We welcome you back every time!
