This house is situated in a quiet neighborhood, walking distance to the Buffalo bayou and for us our son's apartment so it works perfectly Second visit for us, hope to return.
To sum it up this house is amazing for its age. As a child I spend many years in a house built in 1903 in East Texas. Bravo for keeping this piece of history a nice place to stay and still display its age. Host was great, property was great. Iâd do it again anytime I visit Houston.
Great long weekend visiting our son who lives closer to west Dallas, but great daily walk along and thru the parks, great restaurants around, very easy and comfortable stay.
We enjoyed our 2 night stay. It was perfect for our needs and in a really nice neighborhood close to downtown. Lots of restaurant option in walking distance.
I hope we can stay here again when we return in October.
This place has so much charm and proximity to delicious food. I was worried that it wouldn't be as nice as the pictures but honestly, it was nicer and even seemed more spacious. Wished I could stay longer.
My wife, daughter and I stayed for 13 days while moving my daughter into her new apartment in Houston. Hunter was an excellent host - very responsive to any issues. Place is very comfortable, equipped well. Excellent location - very central. Easy parking.
Hunter was a great host. Let me in early, thank you! Property was well stocked. Neighborhood is amazing, very walkable with many places to eat. Very safe and friendly. Highly recommend this property for extended stay as there are so many things to do in Houston. Great proximity to downtown.
Hunter took great care of us and made sure that our stay was comfortable and relaxing. The house is charming and cozy with all the amenities you could ask for. There are tons of delicious restaurants near the property as well as Yoga studios and up-scale boutiques. Memorial park is just down the road if you are looking for a place to jog or ride your bike. We will book this house again when we travel to Houston!
Hunter's rental is a welcoming place with its quirks that are for travelers seeking more than a home to stay. The collective mix of art, handwoven fabrics, collectibles, and books make it unusual to top it off. We will be back. Enjoy!
Stayed here for a month after we sold our house. Very comfortable but basic. The backyard was perfect for our dogs; that was main reason we chose this house. The house could use some maintenance and upgrades though; the powder bath door doesn't latch, refrigerator is terribly small, mattresses are old. We enjoyed our stay but it took some getting used to.
We usually avoid Houston due to the crowded, fast-paced feel of the city, but the house has us planning our next trip. It's super cute with interesting art throughout, beautiful trees and a wide porch to enjoy them from, and sweet neighbors. The area is quiet and peaceful, and there are a plethora of independent restaurants just a couple of blocks away. The kitchen is a great setup for those who like to cook- the layout flows perfectly for two people to cook and prep together. The host is attentive and quick to respond to messages, and the property felt both clean and secure. I would absolutely stay again and recommend to friends.
Black mold in holes of bathroom floor. Drafty, Windows, missing shingles on roof, stinky smell. Do not stay here if immunocompromised. if the house is ever tested for mold, it will fail miserably. Spend your money elsewhere!
Cottage might bring to mind cute & quant, but this place is cool & hip. The hardwood floors & other 1920âs characteristics were fabulous with neat maps & unique decor. It is tucked away between modern townhomes. I hope the owner never sells. We would love o stay there again.
(There was a hard freeze during our stay, but the owner was always in contact with us & other properties all over town had problems as well. That didnât affect our overall satisfaction with the property.)
This property has a well-appointed kitchen and an interesting and eclectic decor. It is also located within walking distance of several restaurants. (Shout-out to The Toasted Yolk for breakfast.) However, we felt more attention could have been given to the details. The curtains in the front bedroom were too thin to block the light; the hair dryer was broken; and there was not enough body wash to last the length of our stay. Also more detail in the welcome binder would have been appreciated, such as the how-to for the washer and thermostat. Overall, a property with character but some flaws.
We really likes the location of this home. Walkable to a lot of restaurants and close to all the attractions we wanted to check out. There were a few items that could have been improved that would have made it stellar. The beds were very soft and sagged towards the center which wasn't ideal for us. The window curtains were practically transparent letting in a lot of light in the morning and neighboring exterior lights at night. Communication with the owner also could have gone better. I sent several requests to see if we could check in earlier or out later over a few days because I wasn't getting a response. We ended up checking in and out on time because I could never get confirmation on times one way or the other. It could be due to this being during the holidays.
It was a tough week, with the heat. House could not cool down. The property manager was very caring and offered to refund our money. He sent an AC repair person out to check on the system. Nothing was wrong.
Old home and super hot days in Houston.
Cottage had all we needed. Sponsors were very responsive. Great location for access to museums, parks, high end restaurants. Wish we had taken advantage of walking distance restaurants on Washington.
The house has so much character. We enjoyed the homey feel and the funky decorations/art. For our holiday events, it was a good location. We also had to prepare a couple of dishes to share at the Thanksgiving meal, and the kitchen had all we need (dish and appliance wise) to accomplish that.
Such a cool space, quirky and relaxing. Great area for walking my dog. Even when I was walking in the evenings, I felt safe. Great covered front porch.
Photographer, videographer, multimedia producer and intelligent lighting consultant (the robot laser lights that spin around and make funky colors and designs). I have lived all over the US and overseas and have always had a fondness for the Houston metro area since I first moved here in 1981.
It's a rare gem in a historic neighborhood in the shadow of downtown Houston. While the inside reflects the history of the house with it's exposed shiplap and antique furniture, it's dwarfed by the 100-200 year old trees that surround it. Despite it's setting on a quiet residential street it is just blocks away from dozens of fine restaurants and bars and less than 3 miles from downtown.
