Escape to Serenity on Big Cypress River
The Lily Pad is a luxurious, pet friendly, waterfront cabin, that was completed in 2023 and is dedicated to family fun and relaxation! The cabin offers a private gated entry and winds through the large Cypress trees down to the Big Cypress River and is just a short drive from historical Jefferson. Conveniently located 1 mile from Caddo State Park, only 0.5 mile from the public boat ramp on HWY 43. This spot is perfect for a girls' weekend or a group fishermen to spend time relaxing on the porch overlooking the river, floating the river or by the fire pit on those chilly nights. Walk in the front door to find a space truly created with you in mind. The view from the deck is definitely a favorite spot! The cabin comfortably sleeps 8 guests. There is parking for 4 vehicles max and a separate area for boat parking, including two covered areas.
The Lily Pad is setup to host a variety of groups, including girls' trips, fisherman, couples wanting a romantic getaway, and families who are looking for some fun.

About the host
Your host

Hi! We are Jason and Linna Sutton from Marshall, Texas, and we love the water and being outdoors. Caddo Lake and Big Cypress River are our favorite getaway from the hustle and bustle of the daily grind. Some of our favorite things to do are boat ride down the river, go hiking, duck hunting, fishing and enjoying time at the cabin making s'mores and simply enjoying each other's company. Our hope is that you and your loved ones will find enjoyment and relaxation and that you will feel right at home in The Lily Pad on the river.
