Great stay in Houston

The house was lovely and very clean. I felt very comfortable and safe. The view from the bedroom was amazing. Just laid there on the bed looking out the window most of the time we were there but absolutely stay here again when we visit Houston.

Great place!

We were in town for a wedding and I wanted to get us a nicer place than just a hotel. This home was perfect! It was very aesthetically pleasing and I loved the back area by the bayou. Beds were comfortable, and the main living area had plenty of space for all of us to sit.

FAMILY VACATION FUN!

We chose this home because of its retro vibe, and it did not disappoint. The interior decor is funky and fun!! It was spacious enough for our family to enjoy group activities and have some separation as well. The patio is nestled behind the home overlooking a wilderness area with the Bayou below. It is secluded and private, completely unexpected for being in the heart of Houston. It was perfect for enjoying a morning coffee while listening to the dawn chorus of birds and nature.The owners were fantastic and very helpful anytime we had a question.  We would definitely stay here again in the future.

Beautiful home in a great location!

Really cool home with a beautiful spot on the bayou, and an easy drive from lots of restaurants, etc. Lots of stairs which we didn’t mind. The sunken living room was a great spot to spend time with family, and we would have loved to use the patio had the weather been better. We will likely stay again when we're in town.
