Playin' Hookey #2

Playin' Hookey is located on beautiful Caddo lake. Playin' Hookey 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. Playin' Hookey 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) Playin' Hookey 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 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.
UPON ARRIVAL, THE ROOM WILL BE UNLOCKED AND THE KEY WILL BE ON THE TABLE. THERE IS NO OFFICE LOCATED ON PREMISES.
We hope to see you soon!

Nice stay but no wifi

Good location, great value but no wifi. Wifi is very important in this location given how crappy the cellular coverage is in the entire region.

Playin Hooky 2

Stay was great. Right on the river. VRBO lists the cabins by name as individual locations so it's a bit complicated to Google. Just make sure you Google map the name of the lodge, not the cabin. Owner was available by phone all the time and the staff was great.
