15. Hogs Hollow Homestead LLC

33mi from Woodville · 2 sites · Lodging

A Quiet Escape Arriving at the charming cottage, you’ll immediately feel the pull of nature, inviting you to leave the bustle of modern life behind. This cozy retreat for two offers everything you need to disconnect. Set in peaceful surroundings, the cottage boasts a kitchenette with an induction stove and a medium fridge, while a BBQ grill and pond with a fountain complete the tranquility. The surrounding woods offer nature walks, stargazing, and a seasonal pool, ideal for unwinding. Policy details, such as a minimum 2-night stay and no pets, will be shared after arrival. Inside, the cottage is simple and comforting—clean lines, soft light, and everything you need for unrushed days. The kitchenette is made for ease: an induction two burner hot plate for a skillet breakfast, a microwave for quick warm-ups, and a medium fridge with a freezer to stash your groceries. When you arrive, you’ll find a few bare essentials waiting—enough to settle in before a short drive into Jasper for a proper shop at Walmart or Brookshire Brothers. Bring the foods you love; cook at your pace; let mealtime be part of the ritual. Step outside and the property opens around you. The pond shimmers with a fountain, and if you bring a line, the catch and release fishing is a quiet joy. In season, the swimming pool cools the afternoons, and the nature trails thread through the pines in that soft, resin-scented way the woods have. There’s chopped wood by the BBQ grill for slow, smoky dinners, and a communal fireplace area where conversations stretch and stars feel closer than they did in the city. If you want more than rest, there’s learning and craft woven into the stay. By the creek, hammock slow and water quiet, a massage can loosen what travel or life has tensed. You can sink your hands into clay in a pottery session

The property is 28 acres adjacent to the in Big Thicket National near Village Creek and Mill Creek. There are hiking trails from our property to Village Creek and Mill Creek. Village creek is known for its beautiful white sandbars and use to be home to a tribe of Indians in the early 1800's as groups of Indian tribes settled along the gulf coast. This park was originally built as a mobile home park in the late 1960's and renovated to accommodate RV's in the 1980's. After Hurricane Harvey destroyed the area in August of 2017 the property and completely re-vamped it in order to truly appreciate all it has to offer. We currently have 31 RV spaces and 2 cabins and laundry facilities. There is a 3 acre pond for fishing or kayaking. The park is secluded and quiet. We allow pets that are not considered dangerous breeds. Come and enjoy.

Weekend Trip to Lagoon Ranch Luxury RV and Cabin

The cabin was very clean. We loved that it came stocked with anything needed in a kitchen (pots, pans, cutlery, paper towels, etc.) The pool was awesome and it is so nice that they have a restaurant on site. My family of 4 and our 2 dogs had a great time here and we will be back.

Weekend Trip to Lagoon Ranch Luxury RV and Cabin

It’s a very nice new place with a great pool and lake views. It’s a very big park and we were there in a Class C on a slow weekend. It had a very nice kids playground and a venue for a live band or performance that was near the pool. We had an afternoon snack at the Restaurant that was good. It’s very much a bar type food restaurant. The water and ice tea had an odd taste like the water softener put too much salt in it. The wait staff was friendly and efficient. There was a pool swim up bar that was staffed from the inside restaurant bar, but it was a light weekend as the park and pool were not very busy. The RV sites were long and plenty wide. I was in a section with only 3 RV’s near by and the pedestal voltage was only 111 volts on the 30a circuit. While sufficient for my stay could be a problem if they were very full in the heat of summer. The Dumpster was in the far corner of the park which is large. They could probably use a bit more lighting through out. I had to use a flash light to get to the dumpster at night. We will definitely be back. Next time in our Class A to test out the 50a service. It might be interesting to see if the pool or restaurant can handle the capacity if the park was full. There are a lot of sites

There were a few minor hiccups due to the age (2 mos.) of the establishment. The amenities were clean and organized. Unfortunately, the arcade was not up and running yet, but I'm sure will be nice as well. The pool and swim up bar were a great way to beat the heat and the on-site restaurant was really good!

Upon arrival late at night although I gave David a short notice he showed up in the Darkness with his family and showed me around the campsite and made sure that all our questions were answered unfortunately on the second day my girlfriend who isn't a big camper wanted to cut the trip short and David was courteous enough to provide us a refund although he didn't have to we'll definitely consider coming back in the future the campsite was very well organized and clean and easy to locate. Highly recommended!

Our hosts took extra time to ensure we got the perfect camping spot, and it really paid off! We caught fish in both ponds and enjoyed serenades from the local amphibious choir. The hosts are very knowledgeable about ecologically sensitive areas and marked multiple points of interest that helped guide our exploration. Thanks to these two great land stewards! Shout-out to Pluto, our camping companion.

We had an amazing time at Hilleetla! Alissa and David are wonderful hosts with a beautiful property, and their friendly dogs love joining you on little adventures. The location is peaceful and quiet, making it a great place to disconnect and take in the sounds of nature. At night, the stargazing is incredible—you can see countless stars on a clear evening. We stayed for two nights, and the weather was perfect with very few mosquitoes. The property itself offers diverse terrain and rich biodiversity, making it a great spot for exploring. The amenities were well thought out, including a composting toilet, shower, and convenient water spigots throughout the site. Overall, it’s a fantastic spot to relax and enjoy the outdoors. We’d definitely recommend it!

I normally stay in the NF except during hunting season. This was a last minute trip. The property is beautiful, peaceful and quiet. I was the only one staying. The owner Alissa was quick to contact me with information and we were able to meet when I arrived. I booked for two nights but only stayed one and it was awesome. I stayed near the pond located in the back of the property. Two of her dogs hung out with me until I went to bed then came back and had coffee with me the next morning, lol. Would definitely recommend staying.
