Swamp Life #1

Swamp Life is located on beautiful Caddo lake. Swamp Life has 1 full size bed, 1 twin size bed, 1 bathroom. We offer a 2-burner electric cook top for your convenience. You must bring your own cooking utensils as we DO-NOT provide any. Swamp Life also has a full-size refrigerator, microwave & coffee maker (2 coffee cups/2 maxwell house coffee packets, creamer & sugar). All bed linens & bath towels/wash cloths (one small bar of soap) are provided. NO-SMOKING of ANY KIND in this room. (There is a $100.00 room recovery fee to cover the cost of restoring room to a smoke-free condition) Swamp Life faces the street side of Uncertain Lodge & Inn with beautiful Caddo lake behind you. The Uncertain Lodge & Inn is located on a picturesque piece of property with direct access to historic Caddo Lake. Both the Lodge & Inn overlook the sprawling grounds leading right up to the water's edge. In addition to the beautiful views, our property also boasts a 3-bay covered boat house & fishing pier and is next door to a local boat launch. When you are not out enjoying the water, we have a covered grilling patio with picnic tables and 3 charcoal grills (bring your own charcoal/lighter fluid & grilling utensils). Time spent at the Uncertain Lodge & Inn is sure to give you a relaxing escape. From grilling and playing games in the lake front yard, to fishing and boating activities on the 25,400-acre lake, you will never run out of memory making activities. Great fun and family activities that would make you want to stay longer. So don't forget to bring your fishing pole & camera.

Nice Caddo Lake Getaway!

The room was small but clean and had everything we needed. Enjoyed the easy lake access, where we were able to leave the boat in the water at their small dock. Just to note, in case you miss the fine print, this is a lodge where half of the rooms front the lake and the other half from the street. You’re still able to use all amenities and the owners were very accommodating and friendly!

Wonderful place

We enjoyed our stay very much. The motel is lovely and our hosts were very nice. They made sure we had everything we needed and gave us recommendations on were to eat. Having boat slips on the property was a life saver. We would definitely stay again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities

Two horrible nights to remember. It seemed like the owner of the property had a couple of parties in the patio area next to our room both nights we stayed there. We had trouble sleeping, and we woke up several times to screams, barks from the owner’s dog, and people singing. There was little to no privacy, and the folks we encountered were not particularly friendly or polite to us. I can’t imagine that what we experienced was unique to us, so I have a hard time believing the reviews I found online after being there ourselves. Very disappointing.
