Escape to Serenity on Big Cypress River
The Lily Pad is a luxurious, pet friendly, waterfront cabin, that was completed in 2023 and is dedicated to family fun and relaxation! The cabin offers a private gated entry and winds through the large Cypress trees down to the Big Cypress River and is just a short drive from historical Jefferson. Conveniently located 1 mile from Caddo State Park, only 0.5 mile from the public boat ramp on HWY 43. This spot is perfect for a girls' weekend or a group fishermen to spend time relaxing on the porch overlooking the river, floating the river or by the fire pit on those chilly nights. Walk in the front door to find a space truly created with you in mind. The view from the deck is definitely a favorite spot! The cabin comfortably sleeps 8 guests. There is parking for 4 vehicles max and a separate area for boat parking, including two covered areas.
The Lily Pad is setup to host a variety of groups, including girls' trips, fisherman, couples wanting a romantic getaway, and families who are looking for some fun.
