Unique house, we really enjoyed the layout and the cleanliness. Right in the heart of town with many things to do but quiet and secluded once you enter the property.
This is a wonderful house in a unique location. It is the second time we have stayed there and can't recommend it highly enough. Interesting, well appointed, and the nature out back with your morning coffee is amazing!
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.
This place is really a hidden jewel in the city of Houston excellent location to everything worth doing in the city! A must stay for a savvy client....

Thank you, Jessie! We are happy to know you enjoyed your stay and look forward to hosting you again the next time you're in Houston.
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.

Our overall stay was exceptional! All of the furnishings and art were the cherry on top of a great weekend. The host was very responsive and accommodating to our needs. 10/10 would stay here again!

Thank you so much for your review, Edgar! We'd love to have you back!
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.

Thank you for the review, Charles! We're happy you enjoyed your stay and you're welcome back anytime!
We had a wonderful time. We were nervous that it might be noisy being located on such a busy street but it wasn't at all. We loved it. We would stay again.

Thank you for your review, Christine! We are so glad you were able to relax and enjoy some downtime with the nature surrounding the house. We'd love to have you back anytime!
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.
