Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences.
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!Get out of the city and come camp with us, or without us. We are so lucky to live in a most beautiful place, and are happy to share it with our guests. During your stay, you will have access to 80 acres of open vistas, mature forests, big rolling hills, bright stars, spring fed lakes, ponds, and clear sandy creeks including seeps and springs that originate on site.  Pick your spot to pitch a tent overlooking a lake, nestled in the woods, or high up on a hill overlooking distant views. Relax in a hammock, go hiking, canoeing, fishing, swimming, or play some disc golf.  But please, if you choose to camp here (and we would love for you to do so) keep it simple both in your communications and in requests. Please put up canoes, kayaks, paddles where and how you found them. And most importantly, enjoy this beautiful place while leaving no trace. We love sharing this experience with friends. We hope you enjoy your stay here, and we look forward to hosting you! SPRING is springing! Trees are budding out all around, flowers are starting to bloom in succession. Birds, bees, and butterflies! Use code HilleetlaFireFriends for 1 free firewood bundle when you invite your friends and book 2 or more sites. Join us on a Full Moon, New Moon, or Peak Meteor Shower Night and get 15% off!

Alissa was an incredible host! Her property is beautiful, and the pictures showcased it to a T. We came out for three days, two nights. Pluto (one of her dogs) hung out with us majority of the time. Pluto acted as a guardian for us throughout the night while the Coyotes were around. Definitely plan on coming back again!

Beautiful quiet site
Lovely property with two ponds, wildlife and lots to explore. We had it all to ourselves, which was great, except that it was too hot during the day to walk around much! Alissa was very communicative and provided lots of info about the site. Toilet and shower were clean and well maintained (although we didn't quite manage to get more than lukewarm water out of the shower). Would recommend for a quiet stay.

Alissa's site was just as scenic as advertised, her dogs were friendly, and I think above all else she and her family were welcoming and accommodating. Would absolutely recommend to anyone considering coming here.

The Best Mother's Day Weekend
My family and I loved tent camping on Alissa's beautiful land. The scenery is breathtaking! It was our first ever camping trip and I'm so glad we chose Hilleetla! The restroom and shower were clean and a short uphill walk. We were secluded down by the clay pit. I highly recommend using the canoe by the Lily Pad Lake. We spent a few hours there just taking in the beauty of the property. I was in a state of pure bliss while my wife paddled me around the lake. We actually hiked down there twice to use the canoe and swim. Making core memories there with my daughter is something I'll cherish forever 💖 Thank you Alissa and David for sharing your hidden gem with us. We will definitely return!!
