Bayou vacation
Right on the beautiful Bayou. Wonderful views and close to Caddo Lake. Beds were comfortable and the family enjoyed staying here. Enjoyed kayaking on the Bayou. Would be really fun to bring a boat or wave runner/jet ski next time. Had a WiFi connection issue that was quickly resolved. Fresh cookies for us to enjoy when we arrived. We would enjoy staying here again.again

House need work!
House is in great location, right on the water, and stuffed with everything you may need. Host was nice. But… I am not going to mention that deck and house is in bad shape. It is a black mold all over the house! Sealing in living room, master bathroom and who knows where else. We tried to avoid be inside and was happy to leave.

Simply Amazing !!!!
I rented this property for my husband our 5 kids (16,13,13,10,5) and my grandmother just to relax and celebrate my Grandma's birthday. Everything was perfect right down to the details, they even had a bottle of sparkling grape juice and a delicious cake waiting for us when we arrived.

Price-performance ratio is not justified
The accommodation has a nice location, however, the price is not justified. The jetty was rotten, the cushions of the sun loungers were dirty and worn out. The outdoor bar was also dirty and not usable. In the living room was black mold on the ceiling, generally the accommodation needs a thorough renovation or else a drastic price reduction.

Relaxing place to get away.
The property atmosphere & view was awesome. The home was lacking a few items: not handicap accessible, hot tub not working, few deck boards worn, minimal lighting at night outside.

Amazing mother daughters getaway
This is an older home that has updated furniture and decor. The kitchen is stocked with everything you should need. Bathroom includes amenities with extra touches like qtips and cotton squares. However, the highlight of the home is the location and the deck. We spent most of our time out on the upper deck. Covered patio provided shade from the heat yet open area gave us a beautiful spot to get some sun and enjoy sunrise with our breakfast. Owner recommended a boat tour with Captain Aaron. We second this recommendation. So glad we went. We never even turned on the TV. Enjoyed a quite relaxing few days.

Best View on the Bayou
We totally enjoyed our stay here. The house is so well furnished with everything anyone could need. The best place to hang out is their magnificent back deck area overlooking Big Cedar Bayou. We spent so much time with that beautiful backdrop and happy family vibes. It was our parent's 65th Wedding Anniversary and we had plenty of spaces to add some decor, cook over a nice grill, and watch the sunrise and sunsets together. It was a really special trip with my family and we loved it!

Enjoyed very much our stay. If I had a complaint it would be only that the wifi is slow, in/out. (Not the fault of the property). Sisters had a fun time. And we all love Jefferson. Have been many times.

NO FLY REBOOT
We fly free and could’ve gone anywhere, but sometimes it’s just too much of a hassle. A couple of hours from DFW and an easy drive. No frills but peaceful and quiet with a nice view. The lakehouse was cozy. We had everything we needed.

Fantastic 3 night trip to the bayou!
House is exactly as pictured in the listing, right on the water with HUGE deck (covered areas on both lower and upper decks). Location is across the water from a TPWD Wildlife Mgmt Area, so looking out you don't see homes on the opposite side, just views of nature! We grilled meals on the deck every day and enjoyed the firepit down by the water in the evening. House smelled clean and fresh upon entering (unlike some lake houses that have an old musty smell), so that was a pleasant surprise. We had 5 people and used all four bedrooms, and everyone reported the beds were comfy! The kitchen had plenty of dishes, utensils, pots and pans, etc. to easily do all our meal prep. Large dining table inside and plenty of seating areas outside to accommodate larger groups. Comfortable seating in the living room for movie night. Things to know before you go: - They have a couple kayaks (we brought 2 of our own), but there is not an ‘easy’ way to launch from the property. With dock/deck the entire width of the property and NO LADDER on the dock to get to water level, it’s a 3 to 4 foot drop down... too far for this old lady to step into my Yak! - There is only one TV in the house, so if folks want to watch different things, time to flip a coin! - Since the whole house is on stilts, you do have to go up a flight of stairs for entry. But once up there, you go up a couple steps and cross a ‘bridge’ to the deck, so you are virtually on one level. My 84 year old dad had no issues navigating and loved the deck area, as did our whole group! Overall, we had a Fantastic 3 night trip to the bayou! Only thing I’d change is adding a ladder to the dock :) Thank you for sharing this lake house, can't wait to come back!

Some Good, Some Not So Good
Many positives about Lookaway Lodge - a very well stocked kitchen, beautiful location, good-sized rooms, clean interior (except for one un-emptied trash container). On the not-so-positive side - exterior wood on decks and house in need of painting, loose and rotten boards on decks, landscape in need of maintenance.
