"Fun little place right on the Katy Trail. Hosts were very responsive, and we enjoyed our stay. Know two things: 1) bathroom is in a separate building next door; 2) food choices, especially before the weekend, are almost non existent. But that's not the owners fault-they provided a great place to stay and we will do so again next time we are on the Katy. Thanks!"

"This was our first time staying at a non-hotel. I really liked the size and feel of the space. The pictures were exact and not misleading. The rules were clear, consistent, short, and straight to the point. We had a great time and would not hesitate to stay at a property owned by Ryan and his dad again. It felt like all the items were selected with luxury and relaxation in mind. A few things that weren't great (but not a fault of the owners) was there was no one actively on hand to assist if...

The place was spotless and very well stocked with about anything you would need for your stay. As for your host "Rachel" she went above and beyond, and you'll have a hard time finding a better one.

"Perfect house for a perfect stay! House is deceiving from the outside. It looks like a cute little cottage until you are inside. So much room! We all loved the decor and my daughter has requested a room designed just like the single full bed room. Everything was clean and tidy, the outside was perfect for our Easter festivities and the inside was perfect for game night, meals and just hanging out. We will definitely plan on staying again soon.
