10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
Place was great! Clean , comfortable and well maintained. Staff was extremely friendly and communicative
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2025
I think some care could go into making this more of an experience for guests. There were no games, no brochures for local eateries or wineries or things to do. There was no toiletries--like shampoo or bath soap. I think those amenities could have made the stay better. Little things like places to charge devices would have been thoughtful as well. The place was clean and in a good location especially if you wanted to hop on the Katy Trail.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
The location was great for getting on Katy Trail and close to wineries. We will definitely book this property again. It was also nicely decorated and clean.
6 / 10Average·Jan 2026
The cottage style hose was nicely appointed and very clean. Beautiful decorations and well laid out. Bathtub in master ran out of hot water quickly so my soak was cut short. Beds were extra firm. Did struggle to plug in my CPAP as no easy to reach plug at night stand, this would be easily fixed with an extension cord by the bedside. Very peaceful and quiet overall. Good window coverings for light black out. Some traffic noise although this doesn’t bother me so didn’t interfere with my enjoyment at all. Enjoyed our stay. Will ask about more hot water option if I stay again.
