Quiet Time on the River

Booked this cabin to celebrate our anniversary. The cabin was beautiful and surroundings very peaceful. Just wish I was brave enough to get in the water! Enjoyed our time in downtown Jefferson too. Want to come back with fishing poles as our son would love it. Thank you for the opportunity to appreciate nature with modern amenities!

Escape the rat race

Once you get to the property it is very serene. The property was 100% as represented. The kitchen has everything you would ever need to cook with. I really liked that you could always find a shady spot on 1 of the 3 decks/dock available. The highlight of the trip for us were seeing a red headed woodpecker, Anhinga aka water turkey and so many bright yellow warblers that would come right up on the deck next to you. This is a property we would definitely stay at again.

Great stay if you are looking for a remote quiet trip

Perfect location for a quiet getaway. Loved the scenery of the bayou and surrounding areas. Wanted to take a quick camping trip to the woods to get away from the day to day stresses. Caddo Lake and the Jefferson area was exactly what we was looking for. Checked off all the boxes!!!

Fabulous getaway

Cabin was in such a private location but with all the amenities you could want. The county road to the cabin is pretty primitive but totally worth it. Kayaks were a great perk and fishing from the dock was fun, even if we didn't catch anything. Kitchen was well appointed and the bathrooms were large and super clean. No need to take towels or shampoo or soap or toilet paper/paper towels; all provided. Those are little things that set this property a step above most. Comfy couches in the living room made watching movies at night enjoyable. Beds were comfy and AC worked well. 20 minutes from Jefferson and 30 minutes from the lake was convenient. We really enjoyed the wildlife. We saw gators, herons, egrets, frogs, deer, humming birds, etc. We will definitely be back.

A Fantastic Place to Stay

This is a fantastic place to stay, even if you don't fish or kayak. The cabin is lovely and very accommodating. Our favorite thing to do was to relax on the deck and watch the wildlife. It was so peaceful and serene. The location was great: in the woods, on the bayou, and between Jefferson and Caddo Lake. We absolutely loved it!

Peaceful stay on the bayou

We had a fun getaway in East Texas and loved using the docks for fishing, the kayaks, and the fire pits with a healthy supply of wood!! Inside was beautiful, couch comfy, kitchen well-equipped, bathrooms spacious (and loved the electric fireplaces on the wall in there), and king sized beds! We really liked the Captain Ron Swamp Tour in nearby Caddo Lake.

Cabin in the woods

The house and location between Caddo Lake and Jefferson was just perfect for our family getaway. The owners thought of so many conveniences to make the place feel like home as soon as you arrive. It’s hard to pick a favorite part between the multiple decks, kayaks, fire ring, comfortable beds and beautiful bathrooms. We loved every part!

Wonderful Secluded Gem

This place is off the beaten path and really unique. This place can comfortably sleep 8 people and has plenty of outside deck area. Although we aren't fishers... This is a great place for people who fish. The grandkids loved the loft room and unique steps up to that room. The place was clean and had plenty of linens and beach towels. We had a great time.

About the host

Hosted by Eve C Albin

Host profile image
We're just a family of 6 that fell in love with the river and with Jefferson.

Why they chose this property

There's so much to do at Old Cypress River House.
There's a boat launch less than a mile away and place at the cabin to tie up your boat.
End the night playing board games by the fireplace inside. Go on a river tour through the Cypress forest with Captain Ron's Swamp Tours and have a catfish dinner at Big Pines Lodge, or be brave and order the alligator!
You're 15 minutes from Caddo Lake in one direction, 10-15 minutes from Jefferson in the other and 30 minutes from Lake of the Pines where you can rent a boat at Bull Frog's.

Bedrooms
Bedroom 1 is huge! It has a King bed with an attached bathroom with a jet tub and a shower.
There is a 55" smart TV in this room.

Bedroom 2 is also huge! It has a King bed. The bath is not attached but is right next door and has a claw foot tub with a hand held shower.
There is a 55" smart TV in this room.

Bedroom 3 is a bit smaller and has bunk beds and an attached bath with a bathtub and shower combo.

Bedroom 4 is not really a bedroom. It is a loft with 2 twin beds.


Dining
There is dining space for 8: a small table for 4 and 4 counter stools at the bar.

Seating
There is a sectional that seats 6 comfortably. 4 dining chairs can be easily used
for extra seating.

WIFI
There is a 55" smart TV in the living room. There is Satellite WIFI available. Hulu, Disney and Netflix can be signed into on all TVs. Remember, what you are trying to do is "get away from it all;" but because we are off the beaten path the satellite internet signal can be spotty at times. Internet gaming on the WIFI is not available since it is Satellite WIFI and there is a delay.

What makes this property unique

You're out/away from it all, but can run into town for dinner in less than 15 minutes. Jefferson is a great place to explore all of the shops and all of the history. You also have Caddo Lake 15 minutes away and Lake of the Pines 30 minutes away.
