Johnson's Ranch Marina gave us the guided tour needed for my birthday trip experience. I knew I…read morewanted to explore Caddo Lake and had originally planned to kayak, but given the weather and the expectation of rain we decided it's better to have someone explain the history and rich landscape to us while we relax (and hope it doesn't rain). Overall experience was superb! Starting from our call, we didn't book ahead of time but they were able to get us a boat tour in an hour. Upon arriving, they greeted us kindly with a warm welcome. Our boated tour did last an hour, with the tour guide entertaining my stepdad with fun facts about the lake and its inhabitants. We were told that gators are rare to see especially during the day. And yet throughout our trip, we saw multiple great egrets, blue herons, one gator, and one ratsnake! We were astonished at how much wildlife we observed. The trip lasted an hour. It poured rain about 20 minutes after the tour ended. Truthfully had we postponed it, it could've ruined my Caddo Lake experience. I'm really glad the timing worked so well for us!

We drove over from Jefferson after hearing about a swamp tour from a couple on our trolley tour who…read morereally enjoyed it. So glad we did! This bayou is part lake, part river, part pond and all of it amazing. We got super lucky that we came off the water just as rain began and a storm was forming so the tours after pits god cancelled. I can't imagine that the periodic flooding is actually welcomed by locals to clean out the growth but they said it's lining up to be a flood year in 2027 so I'm so glad we got to check it out this year.

I rented a cabin for my boyfriend's birthday weekend. Booking the cabin online was easy and…read moreconvenient. A week before we arrived, I called to let them know that we were bringing a 10lb chihuahua mix. The girl on the phone went over the pet policy, which was pretty standard and understandable. About three days before we were supposed to arrive, my boyfriend wanted us to get there a day early so I called Pope's Landing to see if we could get the cabin a day earlier than planned. The girl told me that they were booked and completely busy, etc. No big deal since I knew it was relatively last minute so I wasn't expecting a "yes". We arrived on Saturday afternoon. The place was pretty empty. I saw one couple walking their dog and a family fishing nearby. I asked the woman behind the counter if they had been busy and she said no. Kind of odd since I got the exact opposite information two days before, so this kind of rubbed me the wrong way. Whatever, no big deal. The woman helped me with finding a restaurant for dinner and the nearest grocery store to pick up some snacks and I was able to rent a boat slip for $10 a night. The cabins look exactly like the pictures. This is a good thing, in my opinion. You get what you see. The floors and sheets were clean, I'm pretty low maintenance so it doesn't take much to please me. The cabin had a full kitchen: microwave, oven, fridge, a grill and fire pit out front, and even dishes and silverware if you're planning on cooking. The WiFi was a little spotty, but the woman at the front desk warned me about that, so at least I got a warning? Besides, we spent most of the weekend boating and fishing. The cabin had Dish/Satellite TV. The TV channels in white were the ones that worked/have access to. I was told that housekeeping would come in the next day to replace our sheets, but they didn't come in until late afternoon. My dog liked the lake and I had to give her a bath. I used a towel to get the dirt off the dog. Housekeeping assumed the dirty towel was because my dog had an accident. I told them that I had to clean the dog. They charged me $250 for the cleaning fee. I'd think that the housekeeping wouldn't know the difference between dog accidents because of the smell of dog waste, but I'm sure they'll believe the opinion of their cleaning crew over my truth. I'd probably lodge here again, if we were to visit Lake Fork again, but mostly because there aren't that many options for lodging. As nice as the place was, I kind of expected more. I guess I wished I had a more pleasant or more welcoming experience..?

Subdued, tasteful, mostly utilitarian decorating instead of overload you see in some cabins or B&Bs. Hosts literally thought of EVERYTHING you might need, name it. An extremely well-stocked kitchen & bathroom & shockingly generous supply of edibles/drinkables/goodies. We used the chiminea (fat sticks easily gleaned from yard to feed it) & also the little grill, nice. Enjoyed the whimsical yard art, again, liked their tastes. There was even a bottle tree outside to trap bad spirits, must be doing its job, lol. Reception for Wi-Fi and cell good. There were CDs & DVDs & a player but the TV also had cable, so 7 channels, I think, hope you like old Westerns & Forensic Files reruns, we did. Of the few DVDS they had, one was an older fave of ours, The Good Girl, so great to see again. Was cool, rainy weekend so we didn't walk afield, maybe next time but then next time might order up another rainy weekend, works for us. A few times we heard a braying donkey neighbor some distance, didn't bother us, made up for not hearing or seeing much of the wildlife other reviewers talked about. Did see birds, squirrels and an armadillo. When I say hosts thought of everything, I mean it, no, really, you'll find every single little thing you'd ever need, plus books to read (finished one from home and left it & a magazine for the stack) & cabin had a binder of instructions about anything & everything inside the place (check it out, we found lots of crucial info in there) plus a roundup of local things to do, nice mentions of the very fine Caldwell Zoo & the Tyler State Park. We welcomed guidance on how to start shower (pull ring down from faucet, aha!). If I had to say anything remotely negative it's that the steep stairs challenged me as I'm recovering from an injury. But the bed at the top made up for it. What else. Well, it was just nearly too perfect & afraid we might have trouble booking it during later, finer weather. We'd gone there for the singer-songwriter series, this one for the insanely talented Jeff Black who performed at the Old Firehouse. We had to skip out of the performance halfway through & head home early, ever-on-call husband had sudden work obligation pop up so we didn't get all the good out of Edom, our cabin & the concert, but we still left happy. Thx to you, Mr/Mr W

One thing I love about this place is it's less than 10 minutes from Lake Naconiche. (That lake is a bass fisherman's dream) This place has great cabins and numerous RV spots. There's also a nice pond (mini-lake actually) on the premises where you can fish, kayak, and swim. It's stocked with Largemouth, Crappie, Bluegill and Catfish. It's a strict C&R pond. The cabin we stayed in will house a small family comfortably. The cabins come with fully functioning kitchens (with dishes and cookware) and are kept cool in the summer with multiple air conditioners. Renee (one of the owners) is always available to answer questions or provide you with help to insure your stay is as enjoyable as possible. If you're looking to getaway for the weekend, this is the place to stay. You'll enjoy the comfort and great scenery.

Really enjoyed my stay at the Caddo Cabin. If you're looking for a quiet getaway off the beaten…read morepath, then this is your place. A friend and I spent three nights here over the 4th Of July weekend and we had a blast. The cabin was perfectly fine for two people, with a king bed in the bedroom and a pull out sleeper sofa in the living area. There was a tv with a few satellite channels and a DVD player with a few dvds. The tv is not a smart tv so you'll need to bring your own device like a fire stick if you'd like to stream Netflix etc... No issues with the internet. The kitchen is well stocked with everything necessary for cooking. There were a few basic spices and coffee was provided with various creamers and sweeteners. Large charcoal grill outside with the necessary tools, including a charcoal chimney. Bring your own charcoal. The water pressure was good and the a/c worked like a charm in the 100 degree heat. Spent a lot of time on the mosquito-free screened in porch, which had several seats and a powerful fan to keep us cool. Having access to Kayaks, and a dock to launch them from was a huge plus. We spent most of our time kayaking around Caddo Lake. The kayaks/dock are a short 3-4 minute walk to another home located directly on the water, which is also owned by the same owners of the Caddo Cabin. All of the kayaking equipment was in good working condition. A golf cart is provided, which is shared with a neighboring cabin. It was nice to have for going to the local stores / restaurants. Made several trips to Johnson's Ranch Marina, Caddo Outpost, and the Shady Glade restaurant. All of which I highly recommend. Very nice people. If you're looking for some good souvenirs, MeMaw's t-shirts is a great option with custom shirts and other souvenirs. Definitely hit up the Uncertain Flea Market, which is open on the 1st and 3rd weekends of every month. The only slight downside to the cabin is its proximity to the other cabin on the property. It is not very private if the other cabin is occupied. If you're looking for something more private, I'd recommend going with one of the other homes that the owners have available. For the price, though, this place can't be beat, and I was perfectly fine with the proximity to the other cabin given how much money we saved. The owners are very kind, and promptly responded to any questions we had during our stay. I fully plan on returning for another stay in the near future. This place really is a hidden gem.
