Notes
- The river is at the bottom of 116 steps. It's a beautiful view on the way down, and will leave you breathless on the way up! This is a cabin in the woods. We try to keep it very clean, but some bugs or cobwebs are possible. Please don't hate nature. :-) The last 1/2 mile up to the cabin is a rough dirt road. Cars can make it during good weather, but we recommend a small SUV or truck for our guests to make it easier. The last hill to the cabin can be slick if it is raining. Two security cameras monitor the parking area. Another security camera is pointed at the river from the back deck. They can be easily turned off (and may already be off) for privacy.

We're a family of 4 who enjoy hiking and river activities. We enjoy sharing our cabin with friends and guests.
Todd purchased this Cabin in 2014
Why Todd chose Caddo Gap
We purchased this cabin a few years ago as an escape from the city. We love being outdoors and enjoy relaxing in the hammock, sitting on the back porch, swimming in the river, or kayaking. We love people, but when we are on vacation, we'd rather see nature than other humans. We get to be completely on our own at the cabin, with no visitors unless we invite them ourselves.
What makes this Cabin unique
The bathhouse is a unique addition to the cabin! You will enjoy relaxing in the tub or shower in a private, yet close to nature setting. Honeymooners, couples, or anyone looking for something different will love the feeling of freedom that comes with an outdoor bathhouse, and with the seclusion around the cabin.
