Excellent host, went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. Much appreciated!As far as the cabin, we absolutely loved it. Goofy weather (spring in Texas) kept the fish away but the kayaks definitely made up for it. Nice and quiet, but not secluded, so hopping over to Jefferson or the refuge was a short, easy drive.One big bed and a pullout couch was perfect for the three of us, and as others have noted, the huge screened in porch was fantastic. Overall highly recommend the cabin and host. A, well done

Great stay. Kayaking was fun and the river is literally a few feet from the cabin. The host is awesome. We'll probably book another stay this spring.
Maybe it was the cold front which made things harder but it got quite stuffy and dry inside with the heater running. It might make sense to have a humidifier in there for those rare freezing days. We'd have also preferred having some place to hang the jackets and layers. I do have a feeling it'll be a great place on most days.

This cabin is quite a gem. Cozy, well equipped and in a great location. We visited in the fall, but I think the full potential is achieved in the summer, with ample outdoor opportunities. We had an overall great experience and will be returning in the future.

We had a great time and enjoyed our stay in the Tackle Box! We loved being near the tributary and a kayak's trip away from the bayou, and loved spending our afternoons reading on the enclosed porch after a day of hiking. Very clean and well appointed kitchen.

The cabin was very comfortable and well-furnished. Plenty of hot water and a good shower. The air conditioner worked particularly well. The location was just what we were looking for—on the banks of a slough that connected to Big Cypress Bayou. We were able to put in right by the cabin, but we weren’t bothered by the boat traffic out on the bayou.

I visited for a few days to get some peace and quiet away from Houston. I brought my 74yr old mother with me because she loves to fish and doesn’t have much opportunity anymore. We both had a wonderful stay. I loved drinking coffee on the screened porch while listening to the birds and frogs and looking at the beautiful waterway. My mother caught over 30 fish including bream, crappie, and catfish. It was everything I had hoped it would be.

We have stayed at both houses this host has! We have LOVED both! We decided to rent this house due to it being only my husband and I staying this time and it was WONDERFUL!! It’s very cozy, small, and comfortable!! It has access to drive your boat to the house and leave it in the water for the weekend! 10/10 would stay here again and likely will! The host is wonderful and quickly replies to all questions and concerns!!!

Small, quiet, and relaxing cabin get away
We had no problems getting our boats through. Kids fished in kayaks and we could see them and not worry. Its quiet and peaceful. If you are planning on having more than 4 or 5 plan during a season people can sleep on the large enclosed porch. Two of our bunch slept out there and we had no problems. Screen doors lock. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again.
We enjoyed a quiet night sitting by the water and on the covered porch listening to the crickets, night birds and other critters. We were comfortable and short drive from Caddo State Park and Caddo National Wildlife Refuge and enjoyed a swamp tour with a local captain in Uncertain, Texas. It was an interesting and comfy stay on our roadtrip.

Quiet and Quaint
We had some issue when we first arrived with the wifi and tv but a quick message got that resolved and all we needed to do was reset both devices. Owner was very responsive. Other than that, everything was great. The ac worked well, the enclosed screen porch was great and there were ample supplies for cooking and bathing. We stayed with our toddler and the only thing I would point out, is that the rustic design of this place has rusted metal for decorative beadboard and our toddler had to be kept from rubbing on that and there was a slight musty smell from the rust. It is not a bad smell at all, and a familiar or nostalgic smell to some people. We would stay again. Thanks!

One of the best weekends.
Our stay in Karnack was amazing! It was clean, easy check in, had things we forgot, cozy, and the screen porch was our absolute favorite! We loved the location close to boat but not crazy with a bunch of people! Cozy and quiet! My kids loved the rain and the screened in porch! The owner was quick to respond to my messages and was very helpful with the booking when my debit card wouldn’t work on the site! Absolutely our new favorite place! Can’t wait to come back!

Cabin and property was very clean and quiet. It was the perfect place for a quiet getaway with the hubby. Host stayed in communication and recommended some local eating spots. Caddo Lake State Park was right down the road and beautiful place to visit.
