Surrounded by natural forest, this resort offers a secluded location, yet it is only 30 minutes from downtown Houston. Plenty of activities and lots of meeting space make it a good choice for both business and leisure travelers. Two golf courses, a tennis center, 120 miles of nature trails, and a fun-filled pool area--with water slides, spray grounds, a waterfall, and an underwater marine mural--are among the activities offered. Guests looking to relax and rejuventate can spend some time being pampered at the spa, where a variety of services are offered. After a day of work of play, guests can retire to comfortable guest rooms or suites, many with views of the peaceful nature setting.
