We loved our stay at the cabin! It was perfect for us. We loved hanging in the boathouse and kayaking on the lake. Very peaceful and quiet.No road noise. Cabin was comfortable and had everything we needed.

Thanks for the review, Margaret! We're glad to hear you all enjoyed your stay!
Our stay in the Hidden Pines Cottage August 14 - 17, 2025 was just what we needed. It was secluded, private, the cottage was so nice and had everything we needed. The fishing was off as the water temperature was probably high driving the fish out to deeper water. We have two kayaks that we haven’t been using but the time we spent on the water was like a shot in the arm to get ours out and hit some local lakes. Ed was quick to respond via text messages on any issues or concerns. He was very accommodating to all our needs. We would highly recommend it to all those that need a peaceful refuge away from the chaotic world.

This pristine and inviting home offers breathtaking views of Lake Houston from both the deck and the windows. The kitchen is exceptionally well-equipped, making it the perfect retreat for couples or families seeking an unforgettable getaway. Ed, the owner, was outstanding in his communication, ensuring a seamless experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this extraordinary place for your next vacation!
