ABOUT US
The Retreat at Artesian Lakes (formerly Chain – O – Lakes Resort & Conference Center) is a uniquely designed, nature-focused facility with authentic log cabins and log suites, ideal for weekend getaways, family vacations, romantic getaways, garden weddings, group retreats, corporate retreats and business conferences.
Located on the edge of the Texas Big Thicket National Preserve, about one hour north of Houston, The Retreat at Artesian Lakes offers overnight accommodations in authentic log cabins, log suites, and private log homes.
Please note that all guests must stop and register at the Hospitality House front desk upon arrival. Contactless check-in, which was offered during the C19 pandemic, is no longer available. All guests need to review and sign our recently updated registration and policies packet before proceeding to their accommodation. Thank you!
Boat Policy: The central amenity of Artesian Lakes is the pristine nature of our lakes. We cannot let this water quality be at risk of invasion by two aggressive aquatic species that have now infested at least 24 Texas lakes, including nearby Lake Livingston. Therefore, as of November 1, 2021, guests may not bring their personal watercraft. No exceptions. We have purchased additional canoes and kayaks, which are now available for rental thru the front desk, to ensure our guests can continue to enjoy our lakes. Thank you for your cooperation in preserving this natural resource for future generations! Read more here.
