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.

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!

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

The building the bride and groom rented, Snug Harbor, wasn't the Ritz Carlton, but it had a great atmosphere for an informal wedding with lots of space and all the accommodations you would need for a weekend getaway like a stove and beds and baths and a washer-dryer. The yard out back was gigantic and featured a fishing pier, a lovely view of Caddo Lake, little pirogues and canoes with paddles, and a fire pit. The only thing you may have a problem with is that there are a lot of knick knacks inside the cabin and they may attract dust, but they looked pretty well dusted when we were there. I would highly recommend this spot for a short vacation or getaway. Uncertain is a FUN little town, the locals are the nicest people in East Texas, and Caddo lake is gorgeous. You can't see into it - it's about the color of coffee and not good for swimming, but if you love to fish or boat, Texas's only natural lake is a great place to go. There's also a convenience store a couple of houses down, a bar a few blocks away (bring your bike), a flea market nearby and great restaurants all around the lake. Also - the Testicle Festival was going on the weekend of the wedding. I don't know if that's a celebration for the consumption of testicles or the castration of animals or a meeting for testicle cancer survivors, but it sounds entertaining and you never know in Uncertain.

My husband and I stayed here on a recent trip to the area. I believe our cabin was #8 (the red…read morecabin?), but I can't remember. I will say that for the area it is probably the nicest thing you'll find other than one of the B&B's in Jefferson. The bed was comfortable and so were the pillows (a big plus). This is obviously an older home which has new carpets and somewhat new furniture. There is a washer and dryer by the kitchen with detergent so you can have all clean clothes when you go home if you wish. Their is a pier behind one of the cottages across the street that is open use for all who are staying at a "Hodge Podge" Cottage. Their are canoes/pirogues you can use as well, but I noticed that many passing in speed boats didn't care about keeping a low wake so it might not be the safest thing. So why only 3 stars? For just a couple of nights stay it was very nice, but I can't say I would return if I were in the area or if I wanted to stay longer than a weekend. Mainly the wifi they use is either old and not working with our current gadgets or just not that good. Or maybe it's the fact that there are only 2 connections and 8 cabins? Chances are you won't be able to use it. Also, if they can afford to charge over $100 a night for the cabins, then they should upgrade the VCR to a cheap DVD player and get rid of the boom-box with the cassette player. Like I said, for 2-nights it didn't matter too much. The tubs were stained and there was a ton of dust at the bottom of every wall. And last, the front of our cabin had the only RV hookup and there was an RV parked right in front of the bedroom window. This bedroom has a very thin curtain so my husband wound up hanging the blanket over the window so our "neighbors" couldn't see into the room. We would have stayed in the back bedroom but the bed is smaller, the curtains are sheer, and there is a bright light right outside that window!
