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.

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.

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.

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.
