1 bathroom

Tucked away on the cypress-lined shores of legendary Caddo, The Haven @ Jackson Arms Hideout sits elevated on piers above the water, giving you the feeling of floating among the treetops. This isn't just a getaway, it's a full reset. Leave the noise behind, settle into something slower, and let the Spanish moss and still water do the rest. Caddo has a way of finding exactly what you needed.

Good to know

The Haven @ Jackson Arms Hideout on Caddo Lake Why do you book a vacation? A getaway per se. Is it to remove yourself from the pressures you face on an hourly basis? Your work calls and meetings seem endless. So much so that you have a hard time completing your actual daily tasks. Kids get home and it's: Mom, where's my baseball jersey? We are out of lunchables. Dad, the internet isn't working! Can you take me to Sam's birthday party? Although these things are part of life and most of them aren't bad, they tend to pick at your psyche like an out of tune banjo. Are you tired of being so so so......... BUSY? Your journey begins when you take that magical little mouse and click "Reserve" followed by "Confirm and pay." Two small steps that will have you well on your way to decompression. Have you noticed how much more focused you are the weeks leading up to a vacation? That wasn't your imagination. Your brain focuses on the things you need to complete prior to a getaway so that you'll have the opportunity to relax while you are gone. Remember that last vacation you went on and worked the whole time? Remember how miserable that was for you and your family? Vacations spark feelings of anticipation that lift people's well-being. According to science, employees who take breaks throughout the year are healthier and more productive. Vacations can improve mood, reduce exhaustion, increase productivity, and spark creativity. In Europe, it's mandatory that companies give all their employees a minimum of 4 weeks vacation. There's a reason for that. The Haven @ Jackson Arms Hideout is just the sort of break you deserve. It's a one bedroom cabin with a magnificent bathroom specifically intended for your romantic and undisturbed break from reality. As mentioned earlier, your journey starts when you book. However the real journey starts on your drive in. Excitement fills you as you get in the car to leave. A drive full of positive anticipation thinking of the magical memories you'll make. As you get close, you will feel as if you are going nowhere. Each turn feels like more nowhere than the nowhere before. Finally a curve opens up to a small hill that leads to an ancient cross tie bridge over a canal just off the Big Cypress Bayou. Thump thump thump as you slowly roll over. It's a lot to take in the first time — in a good way. Your first thought being: "Will this bridge hold my car?" (Yes, it will actually hold like 15 tons.) That quickly turns into: "Wow, how have I never experienced this?!" Coming down the bridge, there are houses on each side of the road. Most on piers. Pine trees, oak trees and the magnificent cypress trees everywhere. The draping spanish moss on a curved road creates a feeling of teleporting to a new world. It's like stepping into the wardrobe and ending up in Narnia. The transformation feels rapid. But everything about this place feels far from rapid. It feels slow. Intentional. Tranquil. Meaningful. This is Caddo. By the time you see the first Jackson Arms Hideout sign, the outside world has already started to feel like a faint memory. A few back roads and bumps later, you pull up to The Haven @ Jackson Arms Hideout. That's where we leave you. This is your time. Your moment. Your experience. Enjoy the little things. Experience the quiet. Feel the peace. Close all those open, nagging tabs in your brain and transform back into the curious and imaginative kid you once were. Take every moment captive. It's time to create your own experience at The Haven @ Jackson Arms Hideout. *A Few Important Notes* - The Haven is one of five cabins at Jackson Arms Hideout. Traveling with a group? Book multiple.

The Haven at Jackson Arms was wonderful! Private, yet open to nature with a beautiful view and a feeling of staying right up in the hauntingly serene cypress trees covered in gently swaying Spanish moss. We had everything we needed available in the cabin to prepare our own meals (with the groceries we brought) and relax - inside and outside as well as go exploring. Morning coffee on the balcony listening to a multitude of birds singing!! We were 15 min away from Caddo Lake State park. Took an interesting boat tour one day. The kayaks were great (after we dusted them off) and really appreciated them with the life jackets. The only negatives we experienced were the loudness of the AC unit right outside the bedroom especially every morning. ( rude awakening ) and at the time of our visit, the cabin next door was under construction and that was quite annoying to hear. Overall we ( daughter and mother) thoroughly enjoyed our stay would love to come back ( to a less noisy AC!)

The Haven is a beautiful place! It was nicely decorated and very clean, it had everything we needed. It was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. We loved sitting on the porch watching the different birds and seen a Barred owl one evening. It was very relaxing and peaceful to just sit and enjoy the beauty of the cypress trees covered with the spanish moss. We also enjoyed sitting on the dock and using the kayaks. We went hiking at the Caddo Lake Wildlife Refuge and at Caddo Lake State Park. We got to see some baby alligators on our hike at the refuge. We took pics and hurried on in case the moma was close. We ate at several delicious restaurants. The catfish and coleslaw at Gladys Cafe was my favorite. Theres also a small store, The Outpost, that has delicious pulled pork sandwiches. We an amazing time!
