This home is located in a quiet, well established neighborhood in the Village of Grogans Mill, The Woodlands Texas.

The home has been completely updated and remodeled with a Back to Nature theme and we affectionately refer to it as 'The Tree House' It is nestled in the Woods, surrounded by old trees that provide beauty and privacy. It has 4 separate outdoor areas, for enjoying nature and the old owl who entertains us almost every night. The Tree House is simple, clean, comfy and close to all the fun and flash that The Woodlands has to offer.

It is 5 minutes from the swanky Market Street, Woodlands Mall and Woodlands Waterway. (5 million sq ft of shopping, dining and entertainment) There is World Class Golf & an outdoor concert venue - The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavillion, within walking/biking distance. It is also 5 minutes from I45, which is the highway to Houston (south, approx 45 mins.) Dallas is north (approx 4 hrs).

Bring your bicycle or rent one to enjoy 110 parks that can be reached by riding or walking on our 165 miles of pathways. Come out to the best of both worlds, the peace and quiet of nature in the Woods, but next door to music and shopping with world class entertainment.

Within 10 minutes of regional medical centers, St. Luke's and Memorial Hermann. 40 minutes to downtown Houston professional Sports,Theater District, Rice Village and Museum District. 1.5 hours to beautiful Galveston Island and Galveston Bay.

We even have all electric, clean & green local transportation to offer for a small additional fee, including friendly tours of the town, so you will know where to go to eat drink and be merry :)

                    We took a spring golf trip to Houston and rented from Sara and Jimmy. The place was perfectly located in a beautiful neighborhood and Sara and Jimmy could not have been better hosts. They provided quick responses, great information and made our vacation easy and comfortable. Could not have been happier with everything! Thank you Sara and Jimmy!

                    Sara Just wanted to let you know that we enjoyed visiting your lovely town and staying in the tree house. It was very comfortable and I love the way you decorated! One of the highlights of our trip was the tour that you had taken us on. Thank you so much, again. I love your cars and wish you the best with your business, what an excellent idea! Gerda

                    The property has many things going for it. First and foremost is its location in Grogan's Mill. As others have noted it is very central to the hub of the Woodland's activities. Also, we appreciated the fact that it was a pet friendly property. The close proximity to nature trails was perfect for walks. The kitchen is well equipped. And we definitely enjoyed having the WIFI. A cleaning service came in halfway through our stay (5 weeks), which was certainly a plus. There are a few things that need attention. The back yard was basically dirt; well worn and in need of sod. The bed in the master bdrm. had no mattress pad and the linens fit poorly. Pillows definitely should be replaced. That room in the lower level of the house was extremely cold when outside temps. were chilly. One of the drawers in the kitchen is broken and taped closed. Half of the garage is home to the electric car (owner's side business). While it wasn't too much of a problem, we did have to be mindful of parking so as to allow access to that car. The neighborhood is quiet for the most part. The house next door seemed to be home to several people. The dog ran loose and the renter there had his car up on blocks the first week we were there. We enjoyed Sara and her family. They were supportive but not intrusive at all. She was easy to work with and prompt with the paperwork. Kudos on their efforts to go "green"!

                    Owner response: to our future guests - this last review was a bit critical:( i announced the need to share the garage and showed this guest - in person, the whole house, yard and the one broken drawer, way before they rented. they liked it enough to add days on both ends of their stay (i allowed additional days at a discounted rate) i also refunded full deposit. i do not advertise the house as a perfect gem, just big and clean and comfy and close to everything. if you stay in February & March, the yard will look pretty bare - especially during a bad freeze, like this year. there is a star shaped garden in the yard - which is pretty cute:) our beds are way comfy but the linens may not fit perfectly?! have never had any complaints about the beds or pillows or linens before. yes - we had one broken drawer, which has now been fixed:) this house is a split level and since heat rises, it is cold downstairs in the winter - just the reality of an older split level house. we have tons of comfy throws and blankets to keep you warm and a cozy fireplace downstairs which takes the chill right away. these folks never used the fireplace. and the comment about the neighbor? well - dogs get loose (it is a little yorkie) and cars break down - but in the end - that neighbor's issues do not affect our rental property at all. "ya'll come back now - hear?":)

                    If you are in need a property located in north Houston, close to IAH Airport, The Woodlands, with access to everything (shopping, dining, access to major roads without going through major traffic), this is your choice. It's a two story house, fully furnished house located about 5 mins away from a wide variety of retail dining and shopping. The place was very clean when I inspected it the first time, and was ready to go when I arrived. The property owners live across the street, and were very accommodating for the needs of myself and my family during our two week stay. Sara was very easy to deal with, and answered any questions I had in a timely manner. Three big airy bedrooms, each with its own decor and style. The common areas are well staged, with plenty of room for up to 8 people. The lease agreement was clearly written and was in no way hard to follow. The back of the house has a covered patio area, a deck ( outside the largest bedroom downstairs) and a deck that sits on high posts, great for morning coffee or a sun-downer. I would recommend the property to anyone who is looking to host up to 8 people.

                    What a wonderfully, peaceful place to stay! We live in the area, but needed a place to stay while having work done on our home. I could feel the tension leaving me as we approached the house. This cute home has everything you could possibly need. The owners are very friendly and live right across the street - a real source of comfort should you need anything. I really enjoyed the mornings out on the decks - both upstairs and down - with my morning coffee. Everything you need is close by, and don't miss a morning stroll on the bike trails - what a beautiful area!

                  Owner info

                  Year Purchased: 2008

                  About the owner: We are a family of four who operate a small eco friendly transportation business in the Woodlands. We are Christians who love nature, children, animals, and families. We are trying to make a statement to our friends and family to refuse, re use, recycle and reduce. We try to live green so we can leave a healthy planet for our children to enjoy:)

                  Why the Owner Chose The Woodlands:
                  The Tree House is located across from our own, in our wonderful hometown of the Woodlands, so we feel good about making an investment in our own community. We live with our two teens and 3 dogs, right across the street so we are there if you need us:) It has been a great place to enjoy our family and friends as we have been fixing it up to rent.

                  The Unique Benefits at this House:
                  The 'Tree House' is a great place to stay to enjoy The Woodlands. It has a back to nature style and a vacation vibe, that remind you to simplify your life. Relax here and read a book, take a walk or take a nap:) Sometimes we showcase art from local artists, available for sale. We added a rain barrel to water the garden, a special sink that re-uses water and we hope to make other green options available to our guests that they may decide to incorporate in their lifestyle. Live Love Laugh! Recycle Reuse Reduce:)
