Good to know
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 (Holiday). There's a reason for that. The Haven at 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 & 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 alot 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. A few back roads and bumps later, you pull up to The Haven at 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 to the curious and imaginative kid you once were. Take every moment captive. It's time to create your own experience at The Haven at Jackson Arms Hideout. *A Few Important Notes* - There is another cabin at Jackson Arms Hideout (The Retreat). - Book The Retreat: www.airbnb.com/h/jahretreat - Caddo water levels rise and fall due to several factors.
