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.
