For those craving a bit of excitement, the city of Shreveport is a short 20-mile drive away. Explore the Riverboat Casinos, stroll along The Boardwalk Shops featuring Bass Pro, and indulge in the diverse dining options and entertainment that Shreveport has to offer. After a day of exploration, retreat to the peaceful ambiance of Mooringsport to unwind.
Our home, situated in a small residential neighborhood, offers a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. With ample parking for boats, it's the perfect accommodation for water enthusiasts looking to explore Caddo Lake. Whether you're enjoying the tranquility of the small town, or heading out for a day on the water, our home provides a cozy and convenient base for your stay.
The front porch is yours to enjoy, complete with a swing and rocking chairs. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee, enjoying a quiet afternoon, or taking in the evening breeze, the front porch is a perfect spot for relaxation and tranquility.
Experience the nostalgia of childhood with our tire swing. Suspended from a sturdy branch, the tire swing is a delightful addition to the backyard. Have fun swinging or simply relax and enjoy the playful atmosphere.
Gather around the backyard fire pit and create lasting memories with family and friends. Roast marshmallows, share stories, and enjoy the warmth of the fire under the starlit sky. It's a cozy and inviting space for evenings filled with laughter and camaraderie.
Experience the grandeur of 12' beadboard ceilings, adding a sense of spaciousness and classic charm to the living spaces. Gather around a large dining table designed for both delightful meals and lively games. Whether you're enjoying a family dinner or engaging in a friendly board game night, the spacious dining area accommodates a variety of group activities. Retreat to a cozy queen bedroom, thoughtfully designed for rest and relaxation.
Park directly in front off the house in a parking lot, (off street parking). Spacious yard has plenty of room and a concrete slab for boat parking.
Pet Friendly Policy: We welcome well-behaved, house-trained dogs, with a pet fee (no puppies under 1 & no kitty cats sorry!). Please ensure your pets are up to date on vaccinations and flea treatments, and do not disturb neighbors. Pets should not be left unattended for long periods. Guests are responsible for any damages caused by their pets.

About the host
Hosted by Jennifer Holloway

Hi! I’m Jennifer, Chris and I have been married since 1995, we have 3 awesome kids, and we’re very busy with everything! I own The Nanny Network & Sitters’ Registry, Chris is a Realtor, we flip houses, and now we own 5 cabins on Cross Lake, & 4 tiny cabins on Caddo Lake, 3 cabins on the Red River, and this historic home in Mooringsport close to Caddo Lake.
Why they chose this property
We chose to buy this beautiful home because of its proximity to Caddo Lake, safe neighborhood, and the home's character. We loved the large front porch, tall ceilings, and original hardwood floors.
What makes this property unique
This home sits on a huge corner lot with an extra lot for parking boats. Friends & family can rent both sides of the house and sleep 12 beds! It's a 3-minute drive to Caddo Lake where there is a public boat launch. There's a large front porch with porch swings & rocking chairs. The backyard has a tire swing, a charcoal grill, and a fire pit with Adirondack chairs.
