Great location.

Nice location. Great communication. We hosted a watch party, we got a bit warm with 15 people in the main room but survived. Courtyard is a nice outdoor space and the green space beyond the fence makes for a nice atmosphere. Highly recommend and will use again if the need arises.

Excellent place to stay!

This property is beautiful & convenient for a couple of friends or for a family stay..maybe even a solo trip! The host, Margret is very easy going and hospitable. The home was spotless and really cozy and has a large back yard with multiple Sitting areas. I would definitely book again!

Excellent stay with fantastic hosts

My teenage boots and I came in for a concert and our stay couldn’t have been better. We were greeted by our wonderful host and given a lay of the land. We had a slight issue with the electric because of a storm threatening to come and hosts made sure we had ample lighting in the event the power went completely out. When we come back to Houston, I will definitely make sure to book here again.

Quiet and Clean

We checked in later than expected due to not knowing where to go on the property, my call was never answered but a nice lady there eventually came outside when I knocked on the owner's front door.Check in process was easy, everything was clean.Hot water in the shower appeared to not wowork so that was cold but everything else was great and peaceful.

I wouldn’t stay here if I were you, terrible experience.

The smoke smell made us leave… we arrived at 8:30 pm to be greeted by the hosts. We tried using our access code but the Vrbo door lock wouldn’t open. The host had to use their code to open it. We were greeted with a strong smoke smell that we tried to deal with by opening the windows and doors. It was somewhat okay until the AC turned on at 11:50 pm before we had gone to bed. It began circulating the smoke smell from the host side of the house. It made my party gag and leave the building. We had to go book a motel at 12:20 in the MORNING and the host was unwilling to work a compromise. They said since it was within 7 days of booking I would receive no refund due to their cancellation policy even though the VRBO became uninhabitable to breathe. Our party had irritated lungs and throats and continued to smell the smoke even the next evening as we were driving home. The only nice things I can say about it: the place was physically clean, the yard was nice, and if you heavily smoke yourself you may have a better time.

GC Team

The property was perfect for our needs. We had a work get together for our team. We work remote and have never met in person. The backyard and patio were perfect. The only issue we had was the smell of smoke. We opened windows to sleep at night. The owners were so helpful with our needs and offered help with everything. They were the best.

Cute place with great yard but smoke smell was bad!!

Back yard was beautiful oasis. House was quaint little place attached to the main house. Only issues we had were the water pressure was extremely low and even though the unit says non smoking, smoke came in through the vent from the main house. So much so that we ended up leaving and getting a hotel and washing our things because they smelled like smoke. The kids were also getting sick from the smoke. Great place for someone who doesn’t mind the cigarette smoke and smell. We only slept at the place 1 of the 3 nights we paid for due to these issues. Paying for a place and not being able to stay because of it. I wish it had stated smoking unit so we would have known. We would have just went a different route. We ended up spending double the money to get a hotel and still had to pay for all the nights here.

First time staying at a guest house. Made a last minute choice and didn't read that there wasn't a full kitchen. The space made up for it. No TVs in bedrooms but the outdoor area is beautiful. Rick was wonderful.

Great hosts!! Great stay!!

Rick and Margaret are awesome. They were so welcoming. They introduced theirselves, offered more ice, drinks, firewood for a fire, etc and then gave us our privacy. We went to houston to take my bfs son and his beat friend to a concert. They loved the spare bedroom. It was perfect for 2 teenage boys. The master was very comfortable with hreat pillows and blankets. We would highly recommend this placeand without question woudl book again next time we go to houston. Thanks again R&M.

10/10 weekend getaway

Rick and Margaret are hands down the best hosts out there! I rented out the place for two night for my birthday weekend , and I planned on hosting a party there. Rick and Margaret made sure we had everything we needed well before we even walked through the door. Not only were they so accommodating, but the property it’s is just gorgeous, perfect for hosting events or just hanging out with the family . They treated us with so much hospitality and even got to enjoy some of the party with us. You can tell how passionate they are at what they do and it shows in this amazing property. :)

About the host

Hosted by Rick Haley

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

Established neighborhood in a former 27-hole golf course community.

What makes this property unique

The property sits above Vogel Creek, with private access to the creek and trails. It has multiple gardens and fountains, along with an outdoor swing, bar area, firepit, pergola, and large patio with two 10x20 covered patio areas. Unfortunately, the unit has had cigarettes smoked in it which is not allowed, so there is a slight smoke smell, which most guests do seem to mind. However, if you are hypersensitive to cigarette smoke, you might want to consider another property.
