Greetings from Hilleetla! This beautiful property with big rolling hills, big trees, spring water, creeks and lakes lies deep within the Big Thicket, behind the Pine Curtain. Originally a dairy farm, with the old barn and milk bottles intact, then a miniature pony farm with a miniature stable to match, and later a vacation home for some quasi-urbanites. Now our home, our muse, and our place of refuge. A place to share with friends and family and those seeking an authentic experience, here, on the ground. A working farm, a plant nursery, a garden, our forest farm, and our center for creativity, love, life and design. As a landscape architect (Alissa), designer and horticulturalist (David), we've found our match here, at what we now call Hilleetla. Join us on a Full Moon or New Moon (Star Gazing!) and get 15% off!

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

Angelina National Forest camping guide

Overview

About

This large national forest in East Texas is known for its gigantic lake. Find plenty to do at Sam Rayburn Reservoirand the Angelina River. Explore other treasures in this recreation area that offer out-of-the-way, secluded spots to enjoy.

Hike through the Indian Mound Wilderness to find solitude among dirt roads, secluded trails, and wide-open spaces. Camp at a rustic site here for peace and quiet.

Boykin Springs Lake is just 9 acres, but it's a quiet fishing hole for all-day enjoyment. Splash around at the waterfalls on Boykin Creek. Hike around the lake and creek thanks to the trail that runs next to it.

Swim in the Blue Hole, a unique water park. Blue Hole was once a quarry, and the minerals from the excavations make the water a turquoise-blue color. Sleep nearby in an adjacent campground managed by a private business owner.

Head to the historic Aldridge Sawmill. Four buildings of this ghost town remain, as well as concrete foundations of long-gone buildings.
