Lovely Family Time
Our family had a wonderful visit at this unique and well-equipped house. The view of the bayou and greenery was well-enjoyed, as was the wine fridge. All bedrooms do require the stairs to access, which wasn't a problem for our group, but something to note for guests with mobility issues. Take all host advice about parking seriously - again, not a problem for us, but something to be aware of. It was a fabulous break from the same-old, same-old stays with big box store decor. What a gem!

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!

Grad Weekend
Stayed here twice this May for our kids’ graduations which were help on separate weekends. Both times were amazing- it is a unique vibe but very homey and comfortable! Its in a great neighborhood and has an amazing back deck space and view. Parking is limited to 5 spaces like indicated and literally no more. We had a small issue the first weekend and it was taken care of by the time we returned! Super attentive host!!! We will be back!

Artsy Buffalo Bayou
Very cool residence; the art, indoor furnishing, retro stemware, and location makes this location amazing. I enjoyed the living and dinning rooms; socializing with my family, talked about the art work, played games, or having a cocktail or two. The outdoor space needs some work; but nothing that would prevent you from enjoying a front and center seat on the bayou to enjoy the sounds and views. I would recommend to adults if you’re looking for a groovy vibe and perfect location to enjoy HTown

Great Wedding Weekend
My son was getting married. My husband and I stayed here with my parents and my daughter and her husband. The house was very spacious… We had room to have our hair and make up done before the wedding… Loved sitting out on the patio every morning… Was super close to our venue. Definitely need to know that there are quite a few stairs in case you’re bringing someone that that would be a problem for. Also, the third floor bedroom doesn’t have a bathroom on that floor… But that was fine for my daughter and her husband. We would definitely stay here again loved all the fun decor , and especially the view out the back windows on the Bayou and the trees.

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.

Great place
We had a wonderful time here and it satisfied our needs. Our flight was delayed and it was very rainy when we checked in. There were no lights on, so it was difficult to find in the dark and hard to enter. If everything went as planned we would not have had any issues. Great place otherwise.

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.

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!
