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.

We had a great stay and enjoyed the peaceful back deck. Though right on Chimney Rock you couldn’t hear any road noise in the house and it was a great nights sleep.

Fantastic Way to Enjoy Houston

Very comfortable, fascinating, fun, secluded in the middle of a busy city. They didn’t miss a detail. The best of the 60s with a very private and expansive vista of the Buffalo Bayou valley. Love to do it again!

An Oasis In Houston

Absolutely LOVED our stay. We sat and visited for hours in the great room looking through the glass at the tranquility of the trees outside. Other things that were over the top included the eclectic art and design, the master shower and master bedroom. We definitely look forward to coming back again. Five-star experience.

Great Eclectic Home with tons of cooking amenities

This home was beautifully decorated and a fun time for a family get together. There were great amenities for cooking both indoor and outdoor. There were a few bugs we caught in the home, but being by a body of water, it’s common. Thanks for the ease of use and quick response times!
