A rural wetlands part of my hometown, in suburban Houston! Taken in December. And my 1st ever post here of my hometown. You've seen my travel photos and you've seen my new city Kirov, Russia. So here is suburban Houston :). And some of the beautiful wetlands and marshes! I grew up and lived almost all my life in the crowded suburbs, but this park is a quite rural and isolated part! Quite idyllic :). It's at the Armand Bayou Nature Center in southeast Houston. I was home for the holidays and my dad and I went to the park :). I haven't been to this park in many years! It's surreal how much wilderness is here, as it's in the middle of a typical American suburb. Albeit one with a lot of history and economic importance (NASA, oil refineries, etc).. It was a peaceful late autumn walk! Even though it is technically the winter season ;). But autumn begins & finishes late here!

And I love the scene here with the red marsh! One of my favorite parts of the park! And so much other great wetlands! The 2,500-acre (10 km2) nature center is the largest urban wilderness preserve in the United States. Founded in 1974, the center consists of a boardwalk through forest and marshes, live animal displays, bison and prairie platforms and butterfly gardens.

"Would not recommend . We booked on the same day as check in, no one would answer the phone or let you into the property without 72 hours notice. We purchased the Villa for one night due to a flight cancellation, tried phoning multiple times and messaging before check in closed but no one would answer the phone. We couldn’t stay at the property because we had no information on how to get in. We were charged full price and no refund given, I suggest you book somewhere else that has better...

"Where can I start. The place is unbelievable, everything was amazing. Jorge (host) was excellent very helpful everything you would want for a Host. I had family and friends there and it was more than enough room to accommodate 15 couples. Definitely book this Palace it’s worth every penny!!"

"Our stay was truly a great experience! The communication level was seamless, the house was so clean and well thought out for a fun weekend. The owners had towels, showering essentials, games, and instructions to make your stay easier with parking. Truly a great place to stay also not a far commute to midtown, downtown, etc. I will for sure stay here again! Beautiful decor also! "

"Very comfortable and cozy"

"We had an amazing family stay at this gorgeous property. So much fun for the kids and the adults! The host was very informative and communicative! We would love to come back again and absolutely recommend staying here!"

"I really don't know where to start regarding this property. I'll start by saying BEWARE! It is located in, what looks like, a poor community. Upon arriving I witnessed a guy on a bicycle at one of the other houses making an exchange through the fence. I honestly believe it was a drug transaction. It felt extremely unsafe, the neighborhood is NOT being updated, this property is the single & only home that has been renovated. I'd even go so far to say that a few of the reviews before my own, may...

"SCAM!!! SCAM!!! SCAM!!! SCAM!!! SCAM!!! Scammed me . I went to the check-in, and someone else was there.

I kept calling for at least 2 days no response…when they finally contact me back I’ve would’ve only have 1 day left to stay… anywho they refused to give me my money back… then told me that they would...

"A beautiful home with an amazing view! Great for family gatherings. We were able to accommodate 25 family members for our Thanksgiving day dinner! The home was very clean and had everything we needed. "

"Clean, secure, quiet"

"This home was awesome! A group of girls were in town for a conference and we booked this rental. We enjoyed the peace and quiet of the rooms and the backyard with the hot tub was much needed after a long day of learning."
