The tugboat cabin was super cute and unique, and relatively private (on its own lot) with easy parking. Caddo Lake is just across the street, and we loved being able to take the kayaks out for a little adventure! The cabin was exactly as described, and the host was very responsive. We enjoyed watching fireflies and listening to the birds from the patio in the evenings, such a lovely place to get away!

We had a blast at The Shipwreck and the experience for our daughter was awesome!
8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2025
We had a great stay! The property is so cute and check in was really easy. I deducted a star for the comfort of the beds. Both beds were incredibly uncomfortable. The bed upstairs slants into the middle and is very soft. The bed downstairs is thin to fit in the space.

Had a great stay. Will book again next time in that area.
