Adorbs little place! Loved the screened porch , the fire pit and kayaking in the lagoon or the what have you. Very unique trees and birds! Great experience!
Excellent host, went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. Much appreciated!As far as the cabin, we absolutely loved it. Goofy weather (spring in Texas) kept the fish away but the kayaks definitely made up for it. Nice and quiet, but not secluded, so hopping over to Jefferson or the refuge was a short, easy drive.One big bed and a pullout couch was perfect for the three of us, and as others have noted, the huge screened in porch was fantastic. Overall highly recommend the cabin and host. A, well done
We had a great time and enjoyed our stay in the Tackle Box! We loved being near the tributary and a kayak's trip away from the bayou, and loved spending our afternoons reading on the enclosed porch after a day of hiking. Very clean and well appointed kitchen.
This cabin is quite a gem. Cozy, well equipped and in a great location. We visited in the fall, but I think the full potential is achieved in the summer, with ample outdoor opportunities. We had an overall great experience and will be returning in the future.
We had a wonderful weekemd stay here. The cabin was so clean and nice, the hist was super responsive with questions and the kayaking was amazing. Even in mid July it was comfortable. We will come again!
Cabin and property was very clean and quiet. It was the perfect place for a quiet getaway with the hubby. Host stayed in communication and recommended some local eating spots. Caddo Lake State Park was right down the road and beautiful place to visit.
Very much enjoyed our stay!! Caught and released lots of fish and turtles! Enjoyed having our own little spot to fish!! Next time I'll talk the hubby into kayaking!
The cabin was very comfortable and well-furnished. Plenty of hot water and a good shower. The air conditioner worked particularly well. The location was just what we were looking for—on the banks of a slough that connected to Big Cypress Bayou. We were able to put in right by the cabin, but we weren’t bothered by the boat traffic out on the bayou.
We stayed for a night with our 2 children. The cabin is fully furnished and have everything we needed. The patio is wonderful, we enjoyed having breakfast and diner there with a view on the bayou. Two canoes were available with the house and that was wonderful! We recommend!!

We enjoyed a quiet night sitting by the water and on the covered porch listening to the crickets, night birds and other critters. We were comfortable and short drive from Caddo State Park and Caddo National Wildlife Refuge and enjoyed a swamp tour with a local captain in Uncertain, Texas. It was an interesting and comfy stay on our roadtrip.
