10 / 10Outstanding·May 2024
The cabin was close to everything that we wanted to do but was very quiet. It was very clean and had everything that we needed. The owners were super helpful and made sure we had everything taken care of and was happy. We will definitely go back and also check out some other places they have. FIVE STAR rating for sure!!!

Just want the Dr ordered. Peaceful, quiet and perfect to unwind.

We enjoyed our stay. Jennifer is a wonderful hostess. I highly recommend booking with her. She has a wide selection of cabins for all different prices. Thanks for a great time. :-)
6 / 10Average·Nov 2024
The cabin was clean, comfortable and quiet for sleeping. Our main purpose was kayaking and titling this "Pelican's Nest~Caddo Lake Cabin 3 with Kayaks!" is a little misleading. The kayaks (1 regular and two very small) are shared among 4 cabins and RVs at the location. The launch is not owned by the cabin owner and across the street and down the road 1,000+ feet. Luckily we became aware of the kayak situation when I asked the owner after already booking and we brought our own. The air conditioner did not efficiently cool the cabin. It was fine for our October visit but I can imagine in the summer it would be grueling.
