About the host
Hosted by Patsy Rhymes
I was born and raised in Midlands England but I have lived in Texas for the past 35 years. I love to cook, travel, read, and listen to jazz. I’m married with 3 grown daughters. I was trained in Europe as a Saucier Chef. Prior to coming to the states, I traveled to many countries all over the world and lived in Dubai UAE for 4 years. This has created an awareness and appreciation for many cultures. I own an Event Management company here in Houston and I am a certified NVQ service trainer.
(National Vocational Qualifications is the food service training standard of England) I have trained service staff for hotels, country clubs, and restaurants in the art of good service.

Why they chose this property
We love older homes and chose Larch House for its charm, location, and inviting floorplan. We remodeled and furnished the entire home. From the luxurious bamboo bed linens to the features of the gourmet kitchen, everything is designed to help you enjoy your stay.
What makes this property unique
We love entertaining guests. Patsy was raised in England. She grew up in the hotel and restaurant industry. It instilled in her the instinct to treat our guests as if they were staying in the finest hotel. The owners, Patsy and Felix, live on the property in the upstairs Duplex which is a completely separate from the downstairs unit is separated by an outside Door / Staircase & walls dividing the two properties ..
