The front porch is yours to enjoy, complete with a swing and rocking chairs. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee, enjoying a quiet afternoon, or taking in the evening breeze, the front porch is a perfect spot for relaxation and tranquility.
Experience the nostalgia of childhood with our tire swing. Suspended from a sturdy branch, the tire swing is a delightful addition to the backyard. Have fun swinging or simply relax and enjoy the playful atmosphere.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Holloway

Host profile image
Hi! I’m Jennifer, Chris and I have been married since 1995, we have 3 awesome kids, and we’re very busy with everything! I own The Nanny Network & Sitters’ Registry, Chris is a Realtor, we flip houses, and now we own 5 cabins on Cross Lake, & 4 tiny cabins on Caddo Lake, 3 cabins on the Red River, and this historic home in Mooringsport close to Caddo Lake.

Why they chose this property

We chose to buy this beautiful home because of its proximity to Caddo Lake, safe neighborhood, and the home's character. We loved the large front porch, tall ceilings, and original hardwood floors.

What makes this property unique

This home sits on a huge corner lot with an extra lot for parking boats. Friends & family can rent both sides of the house and sleep 12 beds! It's a 3-minute drive to Caddo Lake where there is a public boat launch. There's a large front porch with porch swings & rocking chairs. The backyard has a tire swing, a charcoal grill, and a fire pit with Adirondack chairs.
