Host was non-responsive in the VRBO chat and property was not prepared. Propane tanks were empty so not able to use the Blackstone as we had planned for all 3 nights. We had to go to store to purchase all amenities including toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap, etc. Deck was so filthy, we were unable to sit outside until I cleaned it.

A beautiful lake house and spot. Good directions, house was clean, everything you needed there. The view was incredible and relaxing. Unfortunately, I couldn't get any response from the host... My friend and I had this property booked in advance and I had a Family emergency the week prior to this stay. I wanted to see if rescheduling the trip was an option. I messaged the host on Vrbo twice, texted the given phone number, and called and left a voicemail. No response. I only got to go one day, thankfully my friend got to stay the full time.

Good for our fishing trip

Enjoyed our stay, it was in a good location for our fishing trip and accommodations were more than sufficient. Cell service is not good in the area but we had no issues with the wifi. Would stay again.

Great location, but needed outdoor cleaning.

*Rating: 3/5* We stayed at a VRBO property on Lake Caddo, and while the experience had its highlights, there were a few areas for improvement. The house itself was clean,except for cobwebs on the window unit in one bedroom and cobwebs on some of the pulls for the ceiling fans/lights. The thermostat worked perfectty, keeping the indoor temperature comfortable throughout our stay. However, the outdoor deck was in need of some attention - there were quite a few cobwebs and spiders, and it could have benefited from a good leaf blowing and dusting. (We have stayed at caddo a few other times at other properties that the outdoor areas were extremely cleaner and well cared for.) There was a loose board on the back staircase and also on the patio right at the walkway to the deck overlooking the water. One maor inconvenience was the check-in process. The host gave us the wrong code to the front door, which delayed our entry by about an hour after the 4:00 p.m. check-in time. This was frustrating after a long drive. Overall, it was a decent stay but with a few hiccups that could hawve been avoided.

Lots of issues, lots of promises

This property is as pictured but had many issues. The key provided did not open the door and we waited over an hour for assistance. Credit promised, not delivered. The description of the bath in the master did not state that a step down was necessary. Unsafe for both couples staying. The internet and TV were not working the first day. Credit promised, not delivered. The water at this house, but not at the neighbors was cut off the third full day for several hours. Credit promised, not delivered. Inside the house was moderately clean (shower small and not well maintained), outside not well maintained. One partial roll of paper towels. No washcloths in the bathing area. Found in hall closet. Prepared several meals. No serving spoons provided. Multiple attempts to give the owners a chance to honor the reimbursements promised. Gave verbal promises multiple times but no reimbursement after 6 weeks. Worst VRBO experience yet. General setting was nice.

We attempt to go above and beyond for all of our guests. There was a power outage that triggered the internet to go down the first day. Within minutes we were on the phone with electric company and internet company and had it back on that evening. Sadly this review is not accurate - we are fully stocked with all utensils and everything you need. Washcloths are in hall closet. While we didn’t have to refund for the internet being out the first night we sent a check for first nights stay just to ensure they were happy. Please read our other reviews. We have all five star reviews from every other guest who has ever stayed with us. We would love to have you.

Only complaints are the fact that I reached out to the host multiple time with no reply, there was no toilet paper or paper towels, there was no grill on site like the listing showed, and the yard was completely overgrown
