"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!"

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.
